Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material

The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be
recycled.

Packaging e.g. cling film, polystyrene
and plastic wrappings must be kept out
of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation!

Dispose of or recycle all packaging
materials safely as soon as possible.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances
often 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 your
old appliance with your household
waste.

Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person.

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

Warning and Safety instructions

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 in the
room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the
maximum permissible.

Ventilation can be maintained by air
inlets which cannot 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.

,

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
"Corgi" installer, must be sought.

One of the following technical
measures may be necessary to ensure
safe operation.

If the only way of ensuring adequate

–

ventilation is via an open window, a
window contact switch should be
fitted to ensure that the cooker hood
can only operate when the window is
opened sufficiently. A window
contact switch kit is available from
good builders' merchants.
Take care when ventilating the room
through an open window that
ventilation is not impaired by a
closed blind or curtain.

– The cooker hood can be set up to

automatically switch on an air intake
fan or open a motorised inlet flap
when it is switched on.

– The cooker hood can be set up to

automatically switch off a heating
appliance which also depends on
the air from the room when it is
switched on.

The Miele DSM 400 control module
offers the possibility of combining other
components with the cooker hood (see
"Operation with Control module DSM
400").
It is available to purchase as an
optional extra.

If in any doubt, the advice of a
competent builder or, for gas, a
"Corgi" installer, must be sought.

If the hood is being operated in
recirculation mode, the above
restrictions do not apply.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Never 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 a cooking zone is in use,
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".

Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean

~

this appliance. Pressurised steam
could reach the electrical components
and cause a short circuit.

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.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

Follow the cooker or hob

~

manufacturer's instructions on the use
of flammable materials over the
cooker/hob when installing a wood or
laminate lightshield onto the cooker
hood.

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.

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.

The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele 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.

Description of the functions

The cooker hood works with

. . . air extraction:

The air is drawn in, cleaned by the
grease filter and then directed outside.

If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap, then the
non-return flap supplied with the
appliance must be fitted in the exhaust
socket in the motor unit.

Having a non-return flap fitted in the
ducting ensures that air, once ducted
to the outside, cannot get back into the
room again.

The flap is closed when the cooker
hood is switched off.

When the cooker hood is switched on,
the non-return flap opens for the
cooking vapours to be blown directly
outside.

. . . air recirculation:

(air recirculation conversion kit
required)

The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filter and then by a charcoal
filter. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen.

Charcoal filters are available to order
through your Dealer or the Miele Spare
Parts Department or via the internet on
www.miele-shop.com. (See back cover
for contact details and "Technical Data"
for model number).

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

...anexternal motor:

(EXT models only)

General notes

Warning: The surfaces and controls
are susceptible to scratches and
abrasions. Please observe the
following cleaning instructions.

Cleaning and care

Do not use:

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 used previously with abrasive
cleaning agents. These will damage
the surface material.

Important for appliances with
stainless steel housing

(This infomation does not apply to the
controls).

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
with a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning
agent designed specifically for use on
stainless steel.

To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary
conditioning agent for stainless steel
(available from the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department or via the internet on
www.miele-shop.com) can also be used.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions,
and apply sparingly with an even
pressure in the direction of the "grain".

^

All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned using warm water with a
little washing-up liquid applied with a
well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.

^

Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth.

Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate into the electronics and
cause damage.

Controls

The controls may suffer
discolouration or damage if soiling is
left on them for too long. Remove
soiling straight away.

Observe the General notes on cleaning
earlier in this section.

Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the controls.

15

Cleaning and care

Important for DFB aluminium
lightshields

(optional accessory)

Aluminium is affected by the way that
light falls on it, by the surrounding
environment and by the angle you
observe it from.

Aluminium surfaces may suffer
discolouration or damage if soiling is

This is based on a lightshield which
aligns with the front edge of the
carcase.

If the lightshield is further forward or
back, measurement T will need to be
adjusted accordingly.

Installation

Screw the spacer strip to the bottom

^

of the sides of the housing, flush with
the rear wall.

^ Draw a vertical line up both inside

walls of the housing from the front of
the spacer strip.

When installing a shelf or partition wall,
the building-in space at the back must
not be less than 180 mm.

If it is less than 180 mm, position the
appliance further back, and reduce
measurement T accordingly. The
building-in position can be rectified
later by adjusting the depth.

^

Cut the spacer strip supplied to
measurement T .
Score along the groove for the
smaller measurement as shown, and
remove the surplus.

Installation

Screw the brackets onto the right and

^

left inside walls of the housing unit as
shown. The back edge of the
brackets should align with the vertical
line drawn up from the front of the
spacer strip, and the lower edge
aligned with the lower edge of the
housing unit side wall.
The brackets are designed for 16
and 19 mm thick carcase sides.
Orientate the bracket so that the
vertical depth matches the thickness
of the panel, as shown.

Place the appliance on its back.

the deflector plate and the casing.

27

Installation

Secure the front of the appliance to

^

the floor of the housing unit from
below using 4 screws (6 screws for
90 cm wide cooker hood).

To avoid damaging the deflector plate
when it is pulled out, care should be
taken to screw the fixing screws in
straight, and to ensure that the
screwheads are countersunk.

Attach the lightshield (if using).

^

A DML 300 installation kit, available as
an optional accessory, is required for
this. This installation kit is supplied with
a DFB lightshield. Follow the installation
instructions supplied. The lightshield
must not exceed 1300 g in weight.

of the deflector plate, press it
upwards and push it in together with
the deflector plate. It will slide onto
the fixing pins at the back. Finally,
push the grease filter back a little
more.

If the on-site ventilation system does

^

not have a non-return flap, then the
non-return flap supplied with the
appliance must be fitted in the
exhaust socket in the motor unit.

^

The appliance is set up for use with
C 150 mm ducting. If C 125 mm
ducting is required, the reducing
collar supplied must be fitted to the
exhaust socket (see section
"Connection for air extraction").

^

Secure the ventilation ducting over
the exhaust socket on the cooker
hood using a hose clip.

^

See "Connection for air extraction" for
further instructions on fitting the
ducting.

29

Installation

Set up for recirculation mode

If site conditions are not suitable for the
cooker hood to be used with air
extraction, the appliance must be set
up for recirculation.

For this, we recommend using the
conversion kit available from your Miele
dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Dept
(see "Technical data").

You will also need a charcoal filter (see
“Technical data”).

Screw the exhaust grille to the top of

^

the unit.
When fitting the exhaust grille make
sure that the slats in the grille point
towards the centre of the room and
not directly towards a wall or the
ceiling.

Fit the charcoal filter (see “Cleaning

^

and care”).

Electrical connection

Refer to the notes in “Electrical
connection” and “Warning and
Safety instructions” before
connecting to the electricity supply.

^ For appliances connected to an

external motor (EXT models):
Connect the cooker hood to the
external motor using the connecting
cable and the 6-pole plug connector.

^ Separate fitting instructions are

supplied with the external motor.

^

Attach the ventilation ducting to the
underside of exhaust grille.

^

Then feed the ducting down into the
housing unit through the opening at
the top.

^

Secure the ducting over the exhaust
socket on the cooker hood using a
hose clip.

A non-return flap is not used in
recirculation mode.

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 and national
building regulations. Seek approval
from the building inspector where
necessary.

– All ducting, pipework and fittings

must be of non-flammable materials.

– The exhaust ducting should be as

short and straight as possible.

– To ensure efficient air extraction, the

diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150 mm.

If exhaust ducting with a diameter of
less than 150 mm, or if flat ducting is
used, the noise level of the cooker
hood will increase and extraction will
be less efficient.

Only reduce the diameter of the
ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g.
where narrower ducting has already
been installed.

–

Only use wide radius bends. Tight
bends reduce the air throughput of
the cooker hood.

–

Only use smooth pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable
materials for extraction connection.

If the exhaust ducting is secured to
the exhaust stub by a hose clip,
ensure that it is fitted correctly. Do
not overtighten.
Otherwise the exhaust stub could
buckle and the non-return flap could
become jammed.

– Where ducting is horizontal, it must

be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm
per metre.

This is to ensure that condensate
cannot drain back into the cooker
hood.

–

If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
the open air, the installation of a
telescopic wall 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.

31

Connection for air extraction

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)

Silencer

To achieve even further reductions in
noise levels, a special silencer can be
fitted in the ducting system.

It can be sited at any suitable position
in the ducting system between the
cooker hood and the external motor on
EXT model cooker hoods.

On extraction models, it can be fitted
nearest the ducting outlet to the outside
to reduce neighbourhood noise.

On recirculation models, it can be fitted
in between the fan and the deflector.

In addition to insulating the exhaust
ducting, we recommend that a suitable
condensate trap is 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.

32

All electrical work should be
undertaken by a suitably qualified
and competent person in strict
accordance with current national
and local safety regulations
(BS 7671 in the UK).

Electrical connection

If the switch is not accessible after
installation (depending on country), an
additional means of disconnection must
be provided for all poles.

For extra safety it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD) with a
trip current of 30 mA.

Installation, repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous, for which the
manufacturer cannot be held liable.

Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance until after installation or
repair work has been carried out.

Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. These do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance.

The connection data is given on the
data plate. This is visible when the

grease filters have been removed.
Ensure that this data matches the
household mains supply.

Connection of this appliance should be
made via a suitable isolator or a double
pole fused spur connection unit which
complies with national and local safety
regulations and the On-Off switch
should be easily accessible after the
appliance has been built in.
When switched off there must be an
all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the
switch (including switch, fuses and
relays according to EN 60335).

Important

This appliance is supplied for
connection to an a.c. 230 V single
phase 50 Hz supply.

The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the
following code:

Green/yellow = earth
Blue = neutral
Brown = live

WARNING:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED

33

Operation with DSM 400 control module

The Miele DSM 400 control module can
be used to combine the cooker hood
with other components.

It enables the following:

Connection to a window contact
switch

If adequate ventilation to the room can
only be ensured by having a window
open when the cooker hood is in use at
the same time as a heating appliance
which depends on the air from the
same room, then the control module
can be used to connect a window
contact switch (not supplied) to the
appliance.

Once connnected, the cooker hood can
only be operated when the window is
sufficiently open (see also "Warning
and Safety instructions").

When the window is closed, the cooker
hood fan cannot be switched on. The
indicator lamp for the On/Off touch
control on the cooker hood will flash.

The cooker hood lighting is not affected
by this.

EXT models can also be connected to a
window contact switch.

Take care when ventilating the room
through an open window that ventilation
is not impaired by a closed blind or
curtain.

The window contact switch must be
tested for safety after it has been
connected.

If the control module is
disconnected in order to operate the
cooker hood without the window
contact switch (e.g. after moving
house), the cooker hood electronics
must be reset by a Miele service
technician.

Potential free connection

This enables a further appliance to be
controlled by the switch setting on the
cooker hood fan.

For instance it can be used to ensure

–

a sufficient supply of fresh air when
the cooker hood and a heating
appliance which also depends on
the air in the room are being used
together, by switching on an air
intake fan, or opening a motorised
inlet flap as soon as the cooker hood
fan is switched on.
It is important to ensure that the fan
power is sufficient and that the air
intake has a suitable cross-sectional
diameter.

–

If a sufficient air intake cannot be
guaranteed, then the potential free
contact will enable a heating
appliance, which depends on air in
the same room as a cooker hood, to
be switched off when the cooker
hood is in operation.

See also "Warning and Safety"
instructions.

All appliances must be tested for safety
after they have been connected.

34

Operation with DSM 400 control module

Connection to a light switch

The control module can be used to
switch on the cooker hood lighting via a
light switch in the house.

Installation

The control module must be installed
above the cooker hood housing.

The control module is supplied with its
own detailed operating and installation
instructions.
