Warning and Safety instructions

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 rangehood 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 cooktops, 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, or in recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the room, 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 will 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.
7
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 rangehood 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 or outside wall vents, or by other technical measures, such as ensuring that the rangehood 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 qualified gas fitter (registered with an official gas safety body in accordance with national safety regulations), must be sought.
If the rangehood is used in recirculation mode, where the air is directed back into the room in which it is located, operating a heating appliance which depends on the room air at the same time is not hazardous.
8
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Never use an open flame beneath the rangehood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on, the rangehood could draw flames into the filter. Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
The rangehood can become damaged when exposed to
excessive heat.
– When using the rangehood over a gas cooktop, 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. – Select a pan which is suitable for the size of the burner. – Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the
pan. – Avoid overheating the pan (e.g. when cooking with a wok).
Always switch the rangehood on when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in the rangehood, 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 rangehood on fire.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use the rangehood 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 rangehood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising
from the cooktop. Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the rangehood has cooled down.

Correct installation

Refer to the cooktop manufacturer's instructions as to whether a
rangehood may be operated above the cooktop.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solid
fuel stoves.
Insufficient distance between the cooktop and the rangehood can
result in damage to the rangehood. The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop and the bottom of the rangehood given in the "Installation" section must be maintained, unless the cooktop manufacturer states that a greater distance is required. If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the rangehood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the rangehood, select the greater distance.
The distances given in "Installation" must be observed when
fitting the rangehood.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable
material. These can be obtained 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.

Cleaning and care

There is a risk of fire if the rangehood is not cleaned as described
in these operating instructions.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine 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 machine warranty.

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
11

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.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing 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. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre.
12
Ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Description of the functions

Depending on the model of the rangehood, the following options are available:

Air extraction mode

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

Non-return flap

The non-return flap is designed to prevent the exchange of room and outside air taking place. The flap is closed when the rangehood is switched off. When the rangehood is switched on, the non-return flap opens for the cooking vapours to be blown directly outside.
If the on-site ventilation system does not have a non-return flap, the non­return flap supplied must be fitted.

Recirculation mode

(available as an optional extra with a conversion kit and charcoal filter: see "Technical Data")
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by the grease filters and then by a charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen.

Operation with an external motor

(...EXT model rangehoods. ...EXT models are only available in selected countries. )
Rangehoods set up for operation with an external motor have to be connected to a Miele external motor located in a suitable position outside the room in which the rangehood is installed. The external motor is linked to the rangehood via a control cable and then operated using the controls on the rangehood.

Energy saving tips

This rangehood operates very efficiently and economically. The following will help you to save even more energy when using it:
– Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation in the kitchen when cooking. In extraction mode, if there is insufficient air flow the rangehood cannot operate efficiently and this causes increased operating noise levels.
– Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking vapours, so you can use a lower rangehood power level and therefore benefit from reduced energy consumption.
– Check the power level selected on
the rangehood. A lower power level is generally sufficient for the majority of cooking. Only use the intensive setting when necessary.
– When a large volume of cooking
vapours are being produced, switch to a high power level in good time. This is more efficient than operating the rangehood for longer to try to capture cooking vapours which have already been distributed throughout the kitchen.
– Make sure that you switch the
rangehood off after use.
– Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce performance, increase the risk of fire and are unhygienic.
18

Cleaning and care

Housing

General

The surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasion.
Please observe the following cleaning instructions.
Switch the rangehood off before any
cleaning or maintenance work is carried out.
All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned using warm water with a small amount of 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.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.

Important for appliances with stainless steel surfaces

(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 (Original Miele Care
product for stainless steel) can also
be used. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on the packaging.
Apply sparingly with a soft cloth
following the instructions on the
packaging.
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.
19
Cleaning and care

Important for the controls

Do not leave soiling on the controls for any length of time.
Otherwise they may suffer discolouration or damage.
Remove any soiling immediately.
Observe the general notes on
cleaning earlier in this section.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the controls.

Grease filters

The re-usable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen vapours, preventing soiling of the rangehood.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.

When to clean the grease filters

The grease filters should be cleaned regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to avoid a build-up of grease.

Removing a grease filter

The grease filter can fall out when you are handling it.
This can result in damage to the filter and the cooktop below.
Make sure you hold the filter securely at all times when handling it.
20
To take out a grease filter, release the
locking clip on the filter, lower the
filter approx. 45°, unhook it at the
back and remove it.
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 a small amount of washing-up liquid. Do not use undiluted washing up liquid.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause damage to the surface of the filters if used regularly. Do not use:
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents, – powder cleaners or cream cleaners, – aggressive all-purpose cleaning
agents or spray cleaners for grease, – oven sprays.

Cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher

Place the filters as upright as
possible in the lower basket, with the short sides upright, ensuring the spray arm is not obstructed.

After cleaning

After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before refitting 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.
Replace the grease filters, making
sure that the locking clips are facing down towards the cooktop.
If a grease filter is inadvertently
refitted upside down, insert a small screwdriver blade into the slit to disengage the clip.
Use a proprietary household
dishwasher detergent.
Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50 °C and 65 °C.
Depending on the cleaning agent used, cleaning the filters in a dishwasher can cause permanent discolouration to the surface. However, this will not affect the functioning of the filters in any way.
21
Cleaning and care

NoSmell active charcoal filter

If the rangehood is connected for recirculation, a charcoal filter must be inserted in addition to the grease filters. This is designed to absorb cooking odours and is fitted in the canopy above the grease filters.
Replacement charcoal filters can be obtained from Miele or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com (depending on country). See back cover for contact details, and "Technical data" for type and reference number.

Fitting and replacing a charcoal filter

Before fitting or replacing the
charcoal filter, the grease filters must first be taken out (see previous section for instructions on how to do this).
Unwrap the charcoal filter from its
packaging.

When to change the NoSmell active charcoal filter

Always replace the charcoal filter
when it no longer absorbs kitchen odours effectively. It should, however, be replaced at least every 6 months.

Disposing of the charcoal filter

The used charcoal filter can be
disposed of with the normal household waste.
Insert the charcoal filter into the back
of the charcoal filter frame, then push up into the frame at the front.
Refit the grease filters.
22
Cleaning and care

Changing a halogen lamp

The halogen lights become very hot during operation.
It can cause burns even after being switched off for some time.
Allow them to cool down for a few minutes before changing them.
Disconnect the rangehood from the
mains electrical supply before replacing the lamp (see "Warning and Safety instructions").
Remove the grease filters.
Turn the bolt anti-clockwise as far as
it will go. The halogen lamp will then drop down towards you.
Turn the halogen lamp anti-clockwise
and pull it out.
Replace it with a new lamp of the
same type: GU/GZ 10, 230 V, 50W. Refit the lamp by reversing the steps shown above. Please observe manufacturer's instructions.
Replace the grease filters.

Installation recommendations

– When deciding on the safety
distance between the cooktop and
rangehood, please note that a
distance of 650 mm above electric
cooktops may be preferable to give
more working space under the
rangehood. – Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be
using the rangehood most often.
They should have sufficient space to
work comfortably at the cooktop,
and be able to reach the rangehood
controls with ease. – If positioned too high, extraction will
be inefficient. – To achieve optimum vapour
extraction, the rangehood must cover
the cooktop. It should be positioned
centrally over the cooktop, not to the
side. – The cooktop should be no wider than
the rangehood and, if possible, it
should be narrower, especially for
safety distances greater than 750
mm. – The installation area must be easily
accessible. The rangehood should be
easily accessible and easy to
dismantle in the event that service is
required. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the
position of cupboards, shelves,
ceilings or features in the vicinity of
the rangehood.

Drilling diagram for wall mounting

Please follow the directions given in
the installation instructions supplied for drilling.
For pre-installation of a back wall
where the holes have to be pre­drilled, please refer to the drilling distances in the drawing above (screws 5 mm).
*The dimension for the middle wall bracket is variable. It will depend on the position of the wall vent and the socket. It should be set as low as possible.
30

Connection for air extraction

Before installation, it is important
to read the information given on the following pages as well as the "Appliance dimensions" and the "Warning and Safety instructions" at the beginning of this booklet. This is particularly crucial when using the rangehood at the same time as a heating appliance that relies on oxygen from the same room, which could result in the build-up of toxic fumes.
The rangehood should be installed according to local and national 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.
Highly flexible, concertina type ducting material will greatly reduce the performance of the rangehood.
– A reduction in diameter will
compromise the extraction performance of the rangehood.
– If flat ducting is being used, the
cross-sectional area must not be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the exhaust connection.
– 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.
Remember that any constriction of the airflow will reduce extraction performance and increase operating noise.
If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a telescopic wall vent or a roof vent (available as an optional accessory) is recommended.
When using an external motor, make
sure that the exhaust ducting is sufficiently rigid. The external motor can cause an underpressure which can 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 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
When 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 rangehood.
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

exhaust collar. The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of airflow.
The condensate trap will be integrated in rangehoods which are designed to be connected to an external fan
(model......EXT).

Silencer

To achieve even further reductions in noise levels, a special silencer (optional accessory) can be fitted in the ducting system.
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 125 mm or 150 mm ducting.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically and if possible directly above the
32

Air extraction mode

The silencer not only reduces noise from the motor outside the house, 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 .

Recirculation mode

The silencer needs to be positioned between the exhaust connection and the directional unit . Ensure there is adequate space in the tower for fitting it.

Air extraction with external motor

Connection for air extraction
To minimise noise from the motor in the kitchen, the silencer should be positioned in front of the external motor if possible, or, if the ducting is long, above the exhaust connection inside the rangehood . In the case of an external motor located inside the house, fitting a silencer behind the external motor reduces the noise of the motor outside the house.
33

Electrical connection

All electrical work should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety and building code 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.
The rangehood must be connected to a suitably earthed socket (AC 230 V, 50 Hz).
For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA.
Connection of this appliance should be made via a suitable isolator which complies with national and local safety regulations and the On-Off switch should be easily accessible after the appliance has been built in.
If the mains socket is not accessible after installation, an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. There must be an all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the switch (including switch, fuses and relays according to EN 60335).
The connection data is given on the data plate (See "After sales service"). Ensure that this data matches the household mains supply.
