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. If connected by a
plug, the plug must be rendered
useless and the cable cut off directly
behind the appliance to prevent
misuse. See the "Warning and Safety"
section of this booklet for further details.

Warning and Safety instructions

The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply

when:

it is switched off at the wall socket

–

and the plug removed. (Pull on the
plug, not the cable). Or

the fuse from the fused spur

–

connection unit is withdrawn. Or
the screw-out fuse is removed (in

–

countries where this is applicable).

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).

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.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the cooker hood, parts of
which could then be damaged.

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 grease 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).

Under no circumstances should a

steam-cleaner be used to clean
this appliance. Pressurised steam
could reach the electrical components
and cause a short circuit.

In countries where there are 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 appliance guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions

Installation

The minimum safety distance

between the top of a cooker or hob
from our range and the bottom of the
cooker hood should be at least:
– 450 mm above electric hobs and

cookers,

– 650 mm above gas hobs and

cookers,

– 650 mm above an open grill

from our range

For cooking appliances not in our range
please maintain the safety distance as
recommended by the manufacturer in
their Installation and Operating
instructions.
If more than one 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
MieleSpare Parts Department (see
back cover for contact details) 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.

6

Warning and Safety instructions

When using the cooker hood at the

same time as another heating
appliance which depends on the air in
the room (e.g. gas, oil or coal fired
heaters, continuous flow or other water
heaters, gas cooker, gas hob or gas
oven), special care must be taken as
the action of the cooker hood extracts
air from the room in which it is installed
and from neighbouring rooms, which
these type of heaters need for
combustion.

They could also draw exhaust air back
in from chimneys or ducting in
contravention of fire safety regulations.

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 extractor
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 extractor can only be
switched on when the heating
appliance is switched off or vice-versa.

Appliances with external motors

For appliances with an external

motor fitted (...EXT models) the
connection of the two units must be
made using the connection cable and
the plug connectors.
Make sure the correct combination of
the two appliances has been selected.
Separate instructions are supplied with
the external motor.

Disposal of your old appliance

Before discarding an old

appliance, switch off and
disconnect it from the power supply.
Cut off and render any plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the
appliance to prevent misuse.
This should be done by a competent
person.

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

Note: 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.

If the cooker hood is operated in
recirculation mode (with a charcoal
filter), the above restrictions do not
apply.

Description of the functions

The cooker hood works with

. . . air extraction:

The air is drawn in, cleaned by a
primary filter and then passed through
a secondary filter before being directed
outside.

A non-return flap which is closed when
the cooker hood is switched off will
ensure that no exchange of room and
outside air can take place.

If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap then the
non-return flap supplied must be fitted.

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

. . . air recirculation:

The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the primary filter, then the secondary
filter before passing through an active
charcoal filter (optional accessory). The
cleaned air is then recirculated back
into the kitchen through a vent in the
top of the cooker hood.

. . . an external fan:

The ...EXT models are designed to be
connected to an external fan located
outside the room.

The external fan is connected to the
cooker hood by means of a control
cable and is operated by the controls
on the cooker hood.

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

10

Operation

To switch the fan on

Pull the deflector plate out approx.

^

5 cm.
The cooker hood will then begin to
operate at power level “II”.

To select a power level

Use the – /+ switches to select the

^

power level required.

The indicator lamps show which power
level has been chosen.

Depending on the intensity of cooking
vapours, levels "I" to "III" (green
indicator lamps) are usually sufficient
for normal cooking.

When frying or cooking food with a
strong aroma you may wish to select
the Intensive setting (yellow indicator
lamp) for a short period.

To switch the fan off

from the mains electricity supply.
Ensure that:
– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug removed (pull on the
plug, not the cable), or

– the fuse is withdrawn from the

fused spur connection unit, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable).

Ensure that current is not supplied to
the appliance while maintenance or
repair work is being carried out.

Housing

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

Avoid:

cleaning agents containing soda,

–

acids or chlorides,
abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

–

powder cleaners or cream cleaners
and abrasive sponges, e.g. pot
scourers or sponges which have
been used previously with abrasive
cleaning agents.
These will damage the surface
material.

Stainless steel surfaces

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

To help prevent re-soiling, proprietary
conditioning agents for stainless steel
can also be used.

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.

12

E-Cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
Part number 98013530, which is
suitable for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome without the use of chemicals. It
can be washed 300 times.

If you are unsure about a particular
product or need further advice please
contact your nearest Miele Sales
office. See back page for address.

Cleaning and care

Grease filters

Re-usable metal filters are fitted which
remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc.)
from the kitchen vapours, preventing
soiling of the cooker hood.

The cooker hood has a primary filter,
which is visible on the underside of the
appliance.

A secondary filter is situated above it
in the appliance.

The grease filters should be cleaned
regularly to avoid a build-up of fat,
(approx. 3-4 weeks on average, but
sooner if necessary).

Important! Always clean both filters.
An over saturated filter is a fire
hazard.

Primary filter

To remove the primary filter, pull the

^

deflector plate out slightly.
Switch the fan off.

^

^ Holding the primary filter at the front,

tilt it approx. 3 cm downwards and
then pull it towards you to remove it.

Secondary filter

^ Pull the deflector plate out to its full

extension.

The secondary filter will now be visible.

^

Holding it by the handle pull it
downwards to remove it.

13

Cleaning and care

Clean the grease filters

^

- by hand: with a scrubbing brush in
a mild solution of hot water and a little
washing up liquid.

- in a dishwasher: place the filters
with the short side upright in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray arm
is not obstructed.

^ DA 327-1 i / EXT, 329-1 i / EXT:

The primary filter can be folded up if
necessary to get it in the dishwasher.
To do this, open the catches in the
middle of the filter.

Replacing the secondary filter

Fit the filter into the appliance so that

^

it hooks into position at the back,
then push it upwards at the front and
make sure it engages in position on
the left and right hand sides.

Replacing the primary filter

Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the grease filters in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface of the
filter.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the grease filters in
any way.

^

After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before
replacing them.

^

When removing the 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.

14

^

DA 327-1 i / EXT, 329-1 i / EXT:
Open the catches, open out the filter
and secure the catches again (see
illustration).

Turn the filter so that the red plastic

^

guides are at the front and facing
upwards.

^ Fit the primary filter into the extended

deflector plate from below and hold it
in position.

Cleaning and care

Fitting / replacing the active
charcoal filter

If the cooker hood is connected for
recirculation, an active charcoal filter
(optional accessory) must be used in
addition to the grease filters.
This is designed to absorb cooking
smells.
The active charcoal filter is fitted into a
slot on the front of the appliance housing.

Replacement active charcoal filters
can be obtained from your dealer or
the Miele Spare Parts Department.

When fitting the cooker hood in a wall

^

unit the exhaust grille b has to be
fitted in the top of the wall unit.

If the front of the wall unit is ceiling
height then an appropriate cut-out
must be made in the front panel.

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.

The exhaust stub a and the exhaust

^

grille b are joined together with a
pipe or flexible duct c cut to size.

The slot for the active charcoal filter is
located on the front of the appliance.

14. 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 fan, model designation

Connection for air extraction

Danger of toxic fumes.

Please heed the "Warning and Safety
instructions" to avoid the danger of
toxic fumes.

The cooker hood should be installed
according to local building
regulations. Seek approval from the
building inspector where necessary.

All ducting, pipework and fittings

–

must be of non-flammable material.

– The extraction 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 flat ducting
were to be used, the noise level of
the cooker hood would increase and
extraction would be less efficient.

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.

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.

34

–

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 sweating or
condensation will need to be
addressed.
The exhaust ducting will need to be
suitably insulated.

All electrical work should be
undertaken by a suitably qualified
and competent person in strict
accordance with national and local
safety regulations.

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 voltage and connected load are
given on the data plate. This is visible

when the grease filters have been
removed. Ensure that these match the
household mains supply.

Electrical connection

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