Description of functions

The following functions are available on your ventilation hood, depending on the model:

Vented mode

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

Non-return flap

A non-return flap in the ducting prevents the exchange of inside and outside air from occurring when the ventilation hood is not in use. The flap is closed when the ventilation hood is turned off. When the ventilation hood is turned on, the non-return flap opens so that the exhaust air can be transported outside without any obstruction.

Recirculation mode

The recirculation mode requires a recirculation kit and OdorFree Charcoal Filter (available as optional accessories, see "Technical Data" for more information)
The air is drawn in and first cleaned by the grease filters and then by an OdorFree Charcoal Filter. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen.
A non-return flap has been provided with the hood in case your ducting does not have one. It is inserted into the outlet duct collar of the fan.

Cleaning and care

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Before cleaning or servicing the
hood, disconnect it from the power supply, see "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS".

Stainless steel housing

General

The surfaces and control buttons are susceptible to scratching and chipping.
Observe the following cleaning instructions.
Clean all surfaces and control
buttons using warm water and liquid dish soap only, applying the mixture with a sponge cloth.
Make sure that no water gets into the interior of the hood.
Only use a damp cloth to clean the hood, especially in the control panel area.

Special instructions for stainless steel surfaces

(does not apply to control buttons) Stainless steel surfaces can also be
cleaned using a non-abrasive
stainless steel cleaner, available from
Miele. To prevent the surfaces from quickly
becoming dirty again, we
recommend treating them with a
stainless steel care conditioner.
Apply sparingly over the entire area
using a soft cloth.

Special instructions for RAL color finish housing

(special order) Observe the general cleaning
instructions contained in this chapter.
Minor scratches on the surface are inevitable when cleaning the housing. Depending on the lighting in the kitchen, this may negatively affect the appliance's appearance.
After cleaning, dry the surfaces with a
soft cloth. Avoid the following: – Cleaners containing soda, acid or
chloride, or cleaners containing solvents
– Abrasive cleaners such as scouring
powder, scouring liquid, abrasive sponges such as pot scourers, or used sponges that still contain residues from abrasive cleaners
18
Page 19
Cleaning and care

Special instructions for control buttons

Do not leave dirt and debris on the buttons for any length of time.
Otherwise they may become discolored or damaged.
Remove any dirt or debris immediately.
Observe the general cleaning
instructions contained in this chapter.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the control buttons.

Grease filters

The reusable metal grease filters in the appliance remove the solid particles contained in kitchen vapors (fat, dust, etc.), thereby preventing the ventilation hood from becoming dirty.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard!

Cleaning intervals

Over longer periods of time, fat buildup on the grease filter hardens and makes cleaning more difficult. Therefore, we recommend cleaning the grease filters once every 3-4 weeks.

Removing the grease filters

When handling a grease filter, be careful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter and to the cooktop.
Make sure you hold the filter securely at all times when handling it.
To remove a grease filter, release the
locking clip. Then, open the filter to a 45° angle, unhook it, and remove it from the hood.
19
Page 20
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and dish soap. Do not use undiluted
dish soap.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage to the filter surfaces if used regularly. Do not use any of the following:
– Lime removers – Abrasive powders or abrasive liquids – Aggressive all-purpose cleaners and
degreaser sprays
– Oven sprays

Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher

Place the filters as upright or inclined
as possible in the lower basket.
Ensure that the spray arm is not
obstructed.
When removing the filters for
cleaning, also clean off any accessible oil or fat buildup from the housing. Doing so will prevent a fire hazard.
Reinstall the grease filters. When
inserting the filters, make sure that the locking clip is facing down.
If the filters have been installed
incorrectly, you can insert a small screwdriver into the slit to disengage the locking clip.
Use a common household
dishwasher detergent. Select a program with a wash
temperature between 122°F (50°C)
and 149°F (65°C). In a Miele
dishwasher use the "Normal"
program.
Depending on the detergent used, cleaning the filters in a dishwasher may cause the inside filter surfaces to become discolored. However, this will not affect the functioning of the filters in any way.

After cleaning

After cleaning, leave the filters on an
absorbent surface to dry.
20
Page 21
Cleaning and care

OdorFree Charcoal Filter

Installation recommendations

– We also recommend a distance of at
least 25 1/2" (650 mm) above electric cooktops to provide more workspace and easier cooking under the hood.
– When selecting an installation height,
always take the user height into consideration. Users should have ample space to work comfortably on the cooktop and reach the ventilation hood controls with ease.
– Please note that the greater the
distance from the cooktop, the less effective the hood is at drawing in the cooking vapors.
– To achieve optimal vapor extraction,
make sure that the hood covers the cooktop. The hood should be positioned centrally over the cooktop, not to the side or rear.
– The cooktop should be no wider than
the hood. Preferably, it should be narrower.
– The mounting area must be easily
accessible. The ventilation hood should be easy to reach and disassemble in case a service call is necessary. This should be taken into consideration when planning the position of cupboards, shelves, ceilings or decorative elements in the vicinity of the ventilation hood.

Structural support

The hood must be attached to rigid structural framing that is supported in its entirety by the ceiling joists, or to the ceiling joists directly. Do not attach the plate directly to the ceiling with anchors, toggle bolts, etc.

Removing the protective film

The housing components are covered by a protective film to prevent them from becoming damaged during transport.
Please remove this film before
installing the housing components. It can be peeled off easily without any additional tools.

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.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
duct hoses made from non-
flammable materials for exhaust
ductwork. To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise
levels, please note the following: – The diameter of the exhaust duct
should not be less than 6" (150 mm).
– Make sure that all connections are
secure and airtight.
Remember that any constriction of the airflow will reduce extraction performance and increase operating noise.
If the exhaust duct is to be routed
through an outside wall, we recommend installing a telescopic wall vent or a rooftop vent (available as an optional accessory).
If the exhaust air is to be conducted
into a vent flue, the intake piece must be aligned with the flow direction of the flue.
When installing the exhaust duct
horizontally, you must slope it away from the source by at least 1 cm per meter (3/8" per 3 1/4'). This ensures that condensate cannot drain back into the ventilation hood.
– If flat exhaust ducts are used, the
cross section should not be smaller than that of the exhaust connector.
– The exhaust duct should be as short
and straight as possible.
– If elbows are needed, make sure they
have a large radius.
– The exhaust duct itself must not be
kinked or compressed.

If the exhaust duct is to be routed
through rooms, ceiling space etc., the temperatures in these different areas may differ greatly, which means that the problem of condensation will need to be addressed. The exhaust duct will need to be insulated.

Condensate trap

In addition to insulating the exhaust duct, we recommend installing a condensate trap to collect and evaporate any condensate which might accumulate. Condensate traps are available for exhaust ducts with a diameter of 5" (125 mm) or 6" (150 mm).
Exhaust duct
When installing a condensate trap,
make sure that it is positioned
vertically and, if possible, directly
above the hood outlet duct collar.
The arrow on the housing indicates
the direction of airflow.

Ensure that power to the appliance is OFF while installation or repair work is performed.
Verify that the voltage, load and circuit rating information found on the data plate (located behind the baffle filters), match the household electrical supply before installing the hood.
Use only with ventilation hood cord­connection kits that have been investigated and found acceptable for use with this model hood.
If there is any question concerning the electrical connection of this appliance to your power supply, please consult a licensed electrician or call Miele’s Technical Service Department.

Grounding Instructions

WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance.plug. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.
To increase security before the machine is installed, it is recommended to install a protective switch(30mA).
The hood must be hard wired
accordingly: Black/Red wire: connect to L1 (live) White wire: connect to N (neutral) Green wire: connect to GND (ground)
