The ventilation 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. The 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.

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".

Align the casing and tighten the
screws.

The DA3460, DA3480 and DA3490
Built-In Ventilation Hoods all include
brackets to affix the hood body to
the rear wall of the enclosing
cabinet. (Fig. 1) These brackets are
necessary to ensure the long-term
rigidity and stability of the installed
appliance. In many cases, we have
found that the rear walls of some
cabinets are not structurally reliable.
This may be due to the materials
used, or the thickness of the rear
wall.

In this case, to guarantee a solid
connection, these brackets must be
attached to a structurally sound
surface (such as the wall behind the
cabinet) to maintain the hood's level
attitude (Fig 2). Depending on the
cabinet and wall construction,
alternative hardware may be
required. Please use hardware
which is designed to be used for
your specific installation application.
Failure to do so may cause the hood
to lean forward and cause
permanent damage to the sliding
shelf. This damage is not covered
by the warranty!

Installation

Connect the space bar from the rear

^

with 4 plastic rivets at the hood rear
side.

5. Install the front panel
if necessary

The installation kit DML 400 is
necessary. It can be obtained as an
optional accessory from Miele. The
installation kit has an installation manual
supplied.

Installation

Weight of the front panel

The weight of the front panel must not
exceed 2.8 lbs (1.3 kg). This applies for
front panels with a depth of up to 1

1

/4"
(30 mm). In the case of front panels of
greater depth or greater weight, the
weight must be reduced by milling out
the back of the panel, for instance.

^ The deflector can be adjusted up to

3

1

/8" (35 mm) towards the front with
the two adjusting screws left and

7. Venting

Air extraction mode

Complete the venting installation, see

^

"Air extraction".

Recirculation mode

If the hood cannot be installed for air
extraction the appliance must be
connected for recirculation mode.

For recirculation mode a respective
installation kit is recommended which
can be obtained from Miele.

In addition an active charcoal filter is
needed.

Installation

^

The non-return flap is not needed for
the recirculation mode. Pull the
non-return flap off the bracket from
the vent connection.

^ Install the installation kit as described

in the manual supplied with the kit.

^

Make sure that the slats in the grill
point towards the center of the room
and not towards a wall or the ceiling.

^

Install the Active Charcoal Filter (see
"Cleaning and care").

8. Electrical connection

Refer to the notes in "Electrical
connection" and "Important Safety
Instructions" before connecting to
the mains.

Air extraction

WARNING

,

Danger of toxic fumes.

Exhaust ducting and connections

Use smooth or flexible pipework made
from approved non-flammable
materials for exhaust ducting.

Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled.
To reduce the risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, the exhaust
gases extracted by the hood
should be vented outside of the
building only.

Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings or
in attics, crawl spaces or garages.

To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.

Please read and follow the

"IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of

personal injury. Follow all local building
codes when installing the hood.

To achieve the most efficient air
extraction and quietest noise levels,
consider the following:

The diameter of the ductwork should

–

not be less than 6" (150 mm).

If flat ducting is used, the cross

–

section must not be smaller than the
cross section of the ventilation
exhaust.

– The ducting should be as short and

straight as possible.

– Use ductwork with a wide radius.

– The exhaust duct must not be bent

or compressed.

– Make sure all connections are

secure.

– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it

must slope away from the hood at

1

least

/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to
prevent condensation dripping into
the appliance.

34

–

If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a Telescopic Wall Vent
can be used.

If the exhaust is ducted into an

–

inactive flue, the air must be expelled
parallel to the flow direction of the
flue.

Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, flue,
or room venting ductwork. Seek
professional advice before
connecting an exhaust hood vent to
an existing, inactive chimney or vent
flue.

Important

Air extraction

Condensate trap

optional accessory

In some cases, a condensate trap may
also be required to collect and
evaporate any condensate which may
occur. This optional accessory is
available for ducts 5" (125 mm) and 6"
(150 mm) in diameter.

If the ductwork runs through rooms,
ceilings, garages, etc. where
temperature variations exist, it may
need to be insulated to reduce
condensation.

When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust outlet.
