IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these Operating Instructions carefully before installing or using the Ventilation System.

This appliance is designed to vent This appliance is intended for residential use only. Use the appliance only for its intended purpose. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by improper use of the hood.

This appliance complies with current safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can lead to personal injury and material damage.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

cooking smoke and odors only.

Be certain your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by

a qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the lack, or inadequacy, of an effective grounding system.

CAUTION Use only for general ventilation. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

Before connecting the appliance to

the power supply make sure that the voltage and frequency listed on the data plate correspond with the household electrical supply. This data must correspond to prevent machine damage. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.

Installation work and repairs should

only be performed by a qualified technician in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and the manufacturer will not be held responsible.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for installation in these applications. Please contact the nearest Miele dealer or the Technical Service Department with specific requirements.

Before servicing or cleaning the

unit, switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. If the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

Before discarding an old

appliance, unplug it from the power supply and remove the power cord and any doors to prevent hazards.

Use

Do not allow children to play with

or operate the appliance or its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

Be careful when preparing a

flambé beneath the hood. Flames may be drawn up into the hood by the suction and the grease filters may catch fire.

Never operate gas burners without

cookware. Turn the burner off when not in use. Adjust the burner so that the flames do not extend beneath the cookware. The hood can be damaged due to exessive heat from the burners.

Do not use the hood without the

grease filters in place.

Clean the grease filters regularly.

Dirty filters are a fire hazard.

Do not use a steam cleaner to

clean the hood. Steam could penetrate the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Always turn on the hood when

using the cooktop to prevent damage from condensation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

, WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:

Never leave surface units

unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

Always turn the hood on when

cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods.

Clean ventilation fans frequently.

Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter.

Use the proper pan size. Always

use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

, WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

SMOTHER FLAMES with a close

fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately,

EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING

PAN - You may be burned.

DO NOT USE WATER, including

wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion may result.

Use a fire extinguisher

ONLY if: – You have a Class ABC extinguisher

and know how to operate it.

– The fire is small and contained in the

area where it started.

–

The fire department has been called.

–

You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation

, WARNING To reduce the risk of fire only

use metal ductwork.

When installing the hood, follow the

recommended minimum safety distances between a Miele cooktop and the hood:

22" (55 cm) above electric cooktops,

–

26" (65 cm) above gas cooktops,

–

26" (65 cm) above an open grill.

– If local building codes require a greater

safety distance, follow their requirement.

For non-Miele cooking appliances maintain the safety distances recommended by the appliance manufacturer. If there is more than one appliance beneath the hood and they have different minimum safety distances always select the greater distance.

Be careful not to damage hidden

electrical wiring or plumbing when cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling.

Any fittings, sealant, or materials

used to install the ductwork must be made of approved non-flammable materials.

Never connect an exhaust hood to

an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue, or room ventilating ductwork. Seek professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.

Ducted fans must always be

vented outdoors.

Make sure that the airflow in the

room is sufficient for combustion and exhausting of all non-electric heating appliances (water heaters, gas cooktops, gas ovens, etc.), otherwise backdrafts may occur. Follow the heating manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards or those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) or the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). If in doubt, consult an experienced professional.

Do not use an extension cord to

connect the appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance, (e.g. danger of overheating).

Do not install this hood over

cooktops burning solid fuel.

The hood offers two modes of operation:

Functional description

Air extraction

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside.

The hood comes equipped with a non-return flap. This flap automatically closes when the hood is turned off so that no exchange of outside air and room air can occur. When the hood is turned on, the air pressure of the exhaust fan automatically opens the flap blowing the inside air and cooking odors outside.

Recirculation mode

Air is drawn through the grease filters and an active charcoal filter. The filtered air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through a vent at the top of the hood’s chimney.

The recirculation mode requires an install kit and charcoal filter which are optional accessories.

Before using the hood in recirculation mode, ensure that the active charcoal filter is in place, see "Cleaning and care".

+ = increases the fan speed – = decreases the fan speed

Level "1" to "3" (green indicators) are usually sufficient for normal cooking.

Intensive setting

Level "4" (yellow indicator) should only be used for short periods of time when frying or cooking food with a strong aroma.

Automatically switching back the Intensive power level

The intensive level "4" can be programmed to automatically switch back to level "3" after 10 minutes.

Turn the fan and the lights off.

Press and hold the Delay Shut Down

button for 10 secs. The first indicator of the fan power levels lights.

^ Press the following buttons one after

another,

– the right light button,

To deactivate the automatic switch

back press the "–" button.

^ To save the setting press the Delay

Shut Down button.

Operation

Fan performance

The maximum air flow capacity is 625 cfm. Factors such as narrow duct diameter and bends will affect this value.

Level 1 operates at 40% capacity Level 2 operates at 60% capacity Level 3 operates at 80% capacity Level 4 operates at 100% capacity

There will also be a slight decrease in airflow for hoods operated in recirculation mode due to the active charcoal filter.

If the procedure is not stored within 4 minutes of programming, the hood will automatically default to the "old" data.
