Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and should be recycled.
Recycling packaging reduces the use
of raw materials in the manufacturing
process and also reduces the amount
of waste in landfill sites.
Packaging e.g. cling film, polystyrene
and plastic wrappings must be kept out
of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however, essential for the correct
functioning of your appliance. Please
do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before installation, check the cooker
~
hood for visible signs of damage. Do
not install and use a damaged
appliance. It could be dangerous.
Before connecting the appliance to
~
the mains supply, make sure that the
voltage and frequency details given on
the data plate correspond with the
household electricity supply, otherwise
the appliance could be damaged.
Consult a qualified electrician if in any
doubt.
The electrical safety of this
~
appliance can only be guaranteed if it
is correctly earthed. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
observed and tested regularly, and
where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
For safety reasons, this appliance
~
may only be used when it has been
fully installed.
Only open the housing as described
~
in the instructions given in the
installation sheet and in the Cleaning
and care section of this booklet. Under
no circumstances should any other
parts of the housing be opened.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user, and can
cause operational faults.
Installation, maintenance and
~
repairs may only be carried out by a
Miele authorised person in strict
accordance with current national and
local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
Faulty components must only be
~
replaced by genuine Miele original
parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
5
Page 6
Warning and Safety instructions
During installation, maintenance and
~
repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply.
Do not connect the appliance to the
~
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension
lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
For appliances with an external fan
~
motor (...EXT models) the connection of
the two units must be made using the
connection cable and the plug
connectors.
These models may only be combined
with a Miele external motor.
The appliance must not be used in a
~
non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
In areas which may be subject to
~
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all
times. Any damage which may be
caused by cockroaches or other vermin
will not be covered by the guarantee.
Using at the same time as other
heating appliances that depend on
the air from the room
Warning - danger of toxic fumes
Great care should be taken when
~
using the cooker hood at the same time
and in the same room or area of the
house as another heating appliance
which depends on the air in the room.
Such appliances include gas, oil, wood
or coal-fired boilers and heaters,
continuous flow or other water heaters,
gas hobs, cookers or ovens which draw
air in from the room and duct exhaust
gases out through a chimney or
extraction ducting.
When used in extraction mode, with or
without an external motor fitted, the
appliance draws air in from the room in
which it is installed and from
neighbouring rooms.
If there is insufficient air, an
underpressure will occur. The heating
appliance may be starved of oxygen,
impairing combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn out of
the chimney or extraction ducting back
into the room, with potentially fatal
consequences.
6
Page 7
Warning and Safety instructions
This also applies to recirculation mode
if the air is being directed out of the
kitchen.
In order to ensure safe operation, and
to prevent gases given off by the
heating appliances from being drawn
back into the room when the cooker
hood and the heater are in operation
simultaneously, an underpressure of
0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum
permissible in the room.
Ventilation can be maintained by air
inlets which must not be blocked, in
windows, doors and outside wall vents,
or by other technical measures, such
as ensuring that the cooker hood can
only be switched on when the heating
appliance is switched off or vice versa.
A ventilation brick alone is not generally
sufficient to ensure safe ventilation.
If the hood is being operated in
recirculation mode and the air is being
directed back into the kitchen, the
above restrictions do not apply.
,
The overall ventilation condition
of the dwelling must be taken into
account. If in any doubt, the advice
of a competent builder or, for gas, a
qualified gas fitter (GasSafe
registered in the UK) must be
sought.

Page 8
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Do not use an open flame beneath
~
the cooker hood. To avoid the danger
of fire, do not flambé or grill over an
open flame.
When switched on, the cooker hood
could draw flames into the filter. Fat
particles drawn into the cooker hood
present a fire hazard.
When using the cooker hood over a
~
gas hob, ensure that any burners in use
are always covered by a pan. Switch
the cooking zone off when a pan is
removed, even for a short time.
Regulate the flame so that it does not
burn up the sides of the pan.
Do not allow the pans to overheat
excessively (e.g. when using a wok).
The cooker hood can become
damaged when exposed to excessive
heat.
Always switch the cooker hood on
~
when using the hob, otherwise
condensation may collect in the hood,
which could cause corrosion.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip
~
pans and deep fat fryers etc, do not
leave the pans unattended. Never leave
an open grill unattended when grilling.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood without
~
the filters in place. This way you will
avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting
into the appliance and hindering its
smooth operation.
The filters should be regularly
~
cleaned or changed as appropriate.
Saturated filters are a fire hazard. See
"Cleaning and care".
The cooker hood can get very hot
~
during cooking due to heat rising from
the hob.
Do not touch the housing or the grease
filters until the cooker hood has cooled
down.
Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean
~
this appliance. Steam could reach
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Important information on the
~
handling of the battery in the remote
control:
– Do not short circuit or recharge the
battery, or throw it into a fire. Danger
of explosion.
–
Dispose of the used battery in your
recycling bin. Do not dispose of it
with the normal household waste.

Page 9
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct installation
Refer to the cooker or hob
~
manufacturer's instructions as to
whether a cooker hood may be
operated above the cooker/hob.
The minimum safety distances
~
between the top of the cooker or hob
and the bottom of the cooker hood
given in the "Appliance dimensions"
section of this booklet must be
maintained, unless the hob
manufacturer states that a greater
safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is
fitted beneath the cooker hood, and
they have different minimum safety
distances to the cooker hood, select
the greater distance.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting
~
of a cooker hood over solid fuel stoves.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
~
must be of non-flammable material.
These can be obtained from the Miele
Spare Parts department or from
builders' merchants.
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele original
~
spare parts and accessories with this
appliance. If spare parts or accessories
from other manufacturers are used, this
will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele
cannot accept liability.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
The appliance must not be
~
connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use. Neither should it be
connected to ducting which ventilates
rooms with fireplaces.
If exhaust air is to be extracted into
~
a chimney or ventilation duct no longer
used for other purposes, seek
professional advice.

Description of the functions
The cooker hood works with
. . . air extraction:
The cooker hood draws in the cooking
vapours. First, the air is drawn in via the
edge extraction panels. It is then
guided through and cleaned by the
grease filters before being directed
outside.
The cooker hood operates with a
non-return flap.
This flap is closed when the cooker
hood is switched off, so that no
exchange of room air and outside air
can take place.
When the cooker hood is switched on,
the non-return flap opens for the
cooking vapours to be blown directly
outside.
. . . air recirculation:
(DUU 2900 conversion kit for
recirculation required)
The air is drawn in through the edge
extraction panels and then cleaned by
the grease filters. It is then directed into
the recirculation unit where it is also
cleaned by the charcoal filters. The
cleaned air is then recirculated back
into the kitchen.
Before using the cooker hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
charcoal filters are in place. See
Cleaning and care.
...anexternal motor:
(EXT models only)
EXT models are designed to be
connected to an external motor located
outside the room.
12
The external motor is connected to the
cooker hood by means of a control
cable, and is operated by the controls
on the cooker hood.

Cleaning and care
Before any cleaning or
,
maintenance work is carried out,
disconnect the cooker hood from
the mains supply.
Housing
General
The surfaces and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasion. Please observe the
following cleaning instructions.
^ All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth or
with warm water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a well
wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate into the electronics and
cause damage.
Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
^
cloth.
Avoid:
cleaning agents containing soda,
–
acids, chlorides or solvents,
abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
–
powder cleaners or cream cleaners,
and abrasive sponges, as well as pot
scourers or sponges which have
been previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents. These will damage
the surface material.
– sharp metal scrapers,
– oven sprays.
Important for appliances with
stainless steel housing
(This infomation does not apply to the
controls).
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using Miele's non-abrasive cleaning
agent for stainless steel, following the
instructions on the packaging.
To help prevent re-soiling, Miele
conditioning agent for stainless steel
can also be used. Follow the
instructions on the packaging.
19
Page 20
Cleaning and care
Important for appliances with glass
surfaces
Glass surfaces can be cleaned using a
proprietary non-abrasive cleaning
agent designed specifically for use on
glass.
Important for appliances with
lacquered housing
(Special order finish)
It is very difficult to clean this type of
surface without causing minor marks to
the surface material. This can become
particularly noticeable with darker
colours and if there is halogen lighting
in the kitchen.
Controls
The controls may suffer
discolouration or damage if soiling is
left on them for too long.
Remove soiling straight away.
Panels and grease filters
The edge extraction panels and the
re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapours, preventing soiling of the
cooker hood.
Clean the panels and grease filters
regularly but always clean them imme
diately if the Grease filter symbol [ of
the operating hours button lights up.
We recommend cleaning them at least
every 3-4 weeks. Otherwise grease
which builds up on the panels and
grease filters over a long period of time
can harden, making cleaning more
difficult.
,An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
-
Please observe the General notes on
cleaning earlier in this section.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the controls.
20
Page 21
The panels and grease filters need to
^
be removed for cleaning.
During cooking condensation forms
on the panels, which evaporates after
cooking. To avoid this dripping on
you, do not remove the panels for
approximately two hours after
cooking has finished.
Before removing the panels,
,
please note the following if the
cooker hood is installed in the
ceiling:
– Make sure that you use a stable
and secure ladder.
– Make sure that you stand on the
ladder in a safe way.
– Do not lean over the hob.
– Do not stand on the worktop or
the hob.
Cleaning and care
To avoid damaging the filters,
panels or the hob below, make sure
you hold the filters and panels
securely at all times when handling
them.
^ To remove a panel, hold it at the
sides, as shown. Pull it downwards
out of the front locking clip, unhook it
at the back and remove it.
^
To take out a grease filter, release the
locking clip on the filter, lower the
filter slightly, unhook it at the back
and remove it.
21
Page 22
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the panels by hand
See the notes under "Housing".
^
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
Clean the filters with a soft nylon
^
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and a little washing-up liquid.
Do not use "neat" washing-up liquid.
Avoid:
cleaning agents containing
–
descaling agents,
powder cleaners, cream cleaners or
–
abrasive all-purpose cleaners.
– oven sprays.
Cleaning the grease filters and
panels in the dishwasher
^ Place the filters and panels as
upright as possible in the lower
basket, with the short sides upright.
Make sure that the spray arm can
move freely.
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
^
on an absorbent surface before
replacing them.
When removing the panels and
^
grease filters for cleaning, also clean
off any residues of oil or fat from the
now accessible housing to prevent
the risk of these catching fire.
Replace the grease filters, making
^
sure that the locking clips are facing
down towards the hob.

Installation
Appliance dimensions
Please see the following pages for more details on the diagrams.
26
Page 27
Before installation, it is important
,
to read the information given on the
following pages as well as the
"Warning and Safety instructions" at
the beginning of this booklet.
This is particularly crucial when
using the cooker hood at the same
time as a heating appliance that
relies on oxygen from the same
room to avoid the danger of toxic
fumes building up.
Notes on the Appliance dimension
drawing:
1) Suction side
2) Motor can be rotated. Exhaust
socket can be fitted at the top or the
sides in any direction.
Installation
4) If the cooker hood is being installed
near to a wall, a minimum distance of at
least 50 mm must be observed so that
the edge extraction panels and the
grease filters can be removed easily.
5) The cooker hood is secured in the
cut-out by clamps.
This requires that the ceiling is made of
a solid material, such as wood.
Make sure the material is strong
,
enough to bear the weight of the
cooker hood.
There must be a minimum distance of
40 mm between the areas around the
clamps and any structures or
components, such as struts or cables.
3) The motor unit can be freely
positioned. Connection to the appliance
is via the exhaust ducting and the
connection cable.
Please take the length of the
connection cable into account when
selecting the installation location.
The installation location must be easily
accessible. This is also important if the
appliance needs to be serviced.

Installation
Safety distance between hob and
cooker hood (S)
The following minimum safety
distance must be maintained
between the top of the cooker/hob
and the bottom of the cooker hood
unless a greater distance is
specified by the manufacturer of the
cooker or hob:
Cooking appliance Distance
S
Electric hob 450 mm
Open Grill 650 mm
Deep fat fryer (electric) 650 mm
However, we recommend a minimum
–
distance of 700 mm and a maximum
distance of 1300 mm.
Please be aware that if positioned too
high, extraction will be inefficient.
Multi-burner gas hob with
a maximum total output of
12.6 kW, no burner
exceeding 4.5 kW.
Multi-burner gas hob with
a total output of more than
12.6 kW, or a multi-burner
gas hob where one burner
exceeds 4.5 kW.
Single gas burner with a
maximum output of 6 kW.
Single gas burner with
output exceeding 6 kW.
See "Warning and Safety"
instructions for further information.
650 mm
760 mm
650 mm
760 mm
The cooker hood must cover the hob to
ensure optimum extraction of cooking
vapours:
–
The cooker hood should be
positioned centrally over the hob, not
offset to one side or to the rear.
–
The hob should be smaller than the
cooker hood if possible, and no
larger than equal size.
28
Page 29
If the cooker hood is being installed
–
in a suspended ceiling, the
installation surface all around the
cooker hood must be at least 300
mm larger than the cooker hood
itself.

Connection for air extraction
Important: To avoid the danger of
toxic fumes, please observe the
Warning and Safety instructions.
This is especially crucial when using
the cooker hood at the same time as
another heating appliance which
relies on air from the same room.
The cooker hood should be installed
according to local building
regulations. Seek approval from the
building inspector where necessary.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
–
hoses made from non-flammable
materials for the extraction ducting.
When using an external motor, make
–
sure that the exhaust ducting is
sufficiently rigid. The external motor
can cause an underpressure which
could result in the exhaust ducting
distorting.
To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise level,
please note the following:
To ensure efficient air extraction, the
–
diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150 mm.
– If flat ducting is being used, the
cross-sectional area must not be
smaller than the cross-sectional area
of the exhaust connection.
– All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable materials.
30
– The exhaust ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
–
Only use wide radius bends.
–
The exhaust ducting should not be
kinked or compressed.
–
Ensure that all connections are
strong and airtight.
–
Where ducting is horizontal, it must
be laid to slope away by at least
1 cm per metre. This is to ensure that
condensate cannot drain back into
the cooker hood.
Page 31
Connection for air extraction
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
–
the open air, the installation of a
telescopic wall vent or roof vent is
recommended.
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
–
a vent flue, the ducting must be
directed in the flow direction of the
flue.
Important
If the exhaust ducting is to run through
rooms, ceiling space etc. where there
may be great variations in temperature
between the different areas, the
problem of condensation will need to
be addressed. The exhaust ducting will
need to be suitably insulated.
Condensate trap
(optional accessory)
In addition to insulating the exhaust
ducting, we recommend that a suitable
condensate trap is also installed to
collect and evaporate any condensate
which may occur. Condensate traps
are available for C 125 mm or
C 150 mm ducting.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust connection. The arrow on the
housing indicates the direction of
air-flow.
31

Connection for air extraction
Silencer
(optional accessory)
To achieve even further reductions in
noise levels, a special silencer can be
fitted in the ducting system.
...with air extraction:
The silencer not only reduces noise
from the fan, but also sounds from
outside (e.g. traffic noise).
For this reason the silencer must be
positioned as close as possible to the
ducting exit a.
...with air extraction with external
motor:
To minimise noise from the motor in the
kitchen, the silencer should be
positioned in front of the external motor
b if possible, or if the ducting is long,
then in the ducting above the cooker
hood itself c.
In the case of an external motor located
inside the house, fitting a silencer
behind the external motor d reduces
the noise of the motor outside the
house.
32
In all modes of operation, the most
effective noise reductions are
achieved if two silencers are fitted
one behind the other in the system.
