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 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 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.
8
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 or 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 qualified gas fitter (registered with an official gas safety body in accordance with national safety regulations) must be sought.
9
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Never use a naked flame beneath the cooker hood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over a naked flame. When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter. Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
The cooker hood can become damaged when exposed to
excessive heat.
– 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. – 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 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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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 cooker hood can get very hot during cooking due to heat
rising from the hob. Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the cooker hood has cooled down.

Correct installation

Refer to the cooker or hob manufacturer's instructions as to
whether a cooker hood may be operated above the cooker/hob.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
Insufficient distance between the cooker or hob and the cooker
hood can result in damage to the hood. The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood given in the "Installation" section must be maintained, unless the hob manufacturer states that a greater 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.
The distances given in "Installation" must be observed when
fitting the cooker hood.
Exhaust ducting must be of non-inflammable material. Suitable
material is available from your Miele dealer.
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or 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.
11
Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

There is a risk of fire if the cooker hood 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.

Accessories

Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.
12

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should 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.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also 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 it with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your Miele dealer for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
13

Modes of operation

Depending on the model of the cooker hood, the following options are available:

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 when the cooker hood is switched off. 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.

Operation with an external motor

(...EXT model cooker hoods)
A Miele extraction fan is installed in a location of your choice outside the room for cooker hoods which are designed to be connected to an external motor. The external motor is connected to the cooker hood by means of a control cable and is operated by Con@ctivity 2.0 or by the controls on the cooker hood.
If the on-site ventilation system does not have a non-return flap, the non­return flap supplied must be fitted in the exhaust socket in the motor unit.
14
Modes of operation

Con@ctivity 2.0 function

Automatic control
The cooker hood has a communication facility which enables the automatic operation of the cooker hood depending on the operational state of the hob.
To make use of the communication facility the hob must be fitted with a Con@ctivity 2.0 Stick .
The hob transmits information about its operational status via a wireless signal to the cooker hood.
– When the hob is switched on, the
hob lighting comes on independently and then after a short time the fan also comes on.
– During cooking the cooker hood
automatically sets the power level according to the number of cooking zones in operation and their power levels.
– After switching the hob off the fan
and the hob lighting will switch off automatically after a specified period of time.
See "Operation" for detailed information about this function.
Refer to the installation instructions for the Con@ctivity 2.0 Stick to check whether it is compatible with your hob.
To use the Con@ctivity 2.0 function, a wireless connection must be established between the hob and the cooker hood (see "Activating Con@ctivity 2.0").

Operation (Automatic mode)

When Con@ctivity 2.0 is activated, the cooker hood always works in automatic mode (see "Activating Con@ctivity
2.0").
To operate the cooker hood manually, see "Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0".

Cooking with Con@ctivity 2.0 (Automatic mode)

Switch a cooking zone on at the
power level you want.
The hob lighting will come on.
After a few seconds the fan will come on, first at power level 2, then it will switch immediately to power level 1.
The cooker hood selects the power level automatically during cooking.
This is determined by the total output of the hob, i.e, the number of cooking zones in operation and the power levels selected.
If you select a higher power level or
are using several cooking zones, the cooker hood will switch to a higher power level.

Reaction time

The cooker hood reacts with a slight delay because altering the power level on the hob does not immediately result in a reduction or increase in cooking vapours.
Because the hob transmits the information to the cooker hood at intervals, this can also cause delays.
The reaction can vary from a few seconds to a couple of minutes.
When you reduce the power level or
the number of cooking zones on the hob, the cooker hood power level is also reduced.
Examples for power levels 1 to 4
18
Operation (Automatic mode)

Cooking process

If for example you switch on a
cooking zone at the highest power level to heat a pan for frying and reduce the power level after approx. 60 to 90 seconds*, a cooking process is recognised (*60 seconds to 5 minutes for a HiLight hob).
The cooker hood switches itself on and when the hob power level has been reduced, the hood switches to power level 3 and remains at that level for approx. 5 minutes.
After that the cooker hood power level is determined automatically by the Con@ctivity function.
You can select another power level
manually before then.

Switching off

Switch off all cooking zones.
The cooker hood fan will reduce its power level over the next few minutes and will eventually switch itself off.
This helps to neutralise any lingering vapours and odours in the air.
– From the intensive setting, the fan
switches immediately to level 3.
– If the fan is operating at level 3, it will
switch to level 2 after approx. 1 minute.
– From level 2, the fan switches to level
1 after 2 minutes.
– After 2 minutes at level 1 the fan
switches itself off.
– After another 30 seconds, the hob
lighting switches off.
The cooking process is then finished.
19
Operation (Automatic mode)

Leaving automatic mode temporarily

To leave automatic mode temporarily during cooking:
Manually select a different power
level, or
Manually switch the cooker hood off,
or
Activate the run-on option on the
cooker hood. The fan will switch off after the selected time and the lighting remains switched on.
The cooker hood can now be operated manually (see "Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0").

Returning to automatic mode

The cooker hood returns to automatic mode:
if the cooker hood has not been used
for approx. 5 minutes after selecting a power level manually, or
if the manually selected fan power
level corresponds to the automatic one again, or
if the cooker hood fan and the hob
have been switched off for at least 30 seconds. Automatic mode will resume next time the hob is switched on.
If you wish to operate the cooker
hood manually for a complete cooking process, switch on the cooker hood fan before switching on the hob. If the cooker hood and the hob have been switched off for at least 30 seconds after cooking, automatic mode will resume the next time the hob is switched on.

Energy saving tips

This cooker hood 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 cooker hood 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 cooker hood power level and therefore benefit from reduced energy consumption.
– Use the Con@ctivity function. The
cooker hood will switch on and off automatically at the optimum power level for the cooking you are doing, which ensures low energy consumption.
– Make sure that you switch the
cooker hood off after use. If cooking vapours and odours still need to be removed from the kitchen air after cooking, use the run-on function. The fan will switch off automatically after the selected run-on time.
– Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce performance, increase the risk of fire and are unhygienic.
– If you are operating the cooker hood
manually, please note the following:
– Check the power level selected on
the cooker hood. 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 cooker hood for longer to try to capture cooking vapours which have already been distributed throughout the kitchen.
25

Cleaning and care

Housing

General information

The surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasion.
Please observe the following cleaning instructions.
All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned using hot water with a small amount of washing-up liquid applied with a well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.
Make sure that water does not get into the cooker hood.
Only clean the area of the controls with a damp cloth.
Then wipe the surfaces dry using a
soft cloth.
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.

Important for appliances with stainless steel surfaces

(This information does not apply to the controls).
Stainless steel surfaces can be
cleaned with a proprietary non­abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel.
To help prevent re-soiling, a
proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel (available from Miele) can also be used. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.

Important for RAL coloured housing

(Special order finish) Please observe the general notes on
cleaning earlier in this section.
It is very difficult to clean this type of surface without causing minor marks to the surface material. This can become particularly noticeable depending on the type of lighting in the kitchen.
26
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 soiling straight away.
Please 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 cooker hood.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.

Cleaning interval

Grease which builds up over time will harden and make cleaning more difficult. The grease filters should be cleaned regularly (at least every 3 - 4 weeks) to avoid a build-up of grease.
The filter operating hours control reminds you to regularly clean the grease filters by illuminating the grease filter symbol .
You can set the operating hours
counter interval to suit the type of cooking you do (see "Operation").

Removing a grease filter

When handling a grease filter, be careful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter and the hob below.
Make sure you hold the filter securely at all times when handling it.
27
Cleaning and care
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 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 "neat" 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, cream cleaners
– aggressive multi-purpose cleaning
agents or spray cleaners for grease

Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher

Place the filters as upright as possible
in the lower basket, with the short sides upright, ensuring the spray arm is not obstructed.
Use a standard household
dishwasher detergent.
Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50°C and 65°C.
Depending on the dishwasher detergent used, cleaning the filter in a dishwasher can cause permanent discolouration to the surface. However, this will not affect the functioning of the filter in any way.

After cleaning

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.
Replace the grease filters, making
sure that the locking clips are facing down towards the hob.
– oven sprays
28
Cleaning and care
If a grease filter is inadvertently
replaced upside down, insert a small screwdriver blade into the slit to disengage the clip.

Resetting the grease filter operating hours counter

After cleaning, the operating hours counter needs to be re-set.
Whilst the fan is switched on, press
the operating hours control  for approx. 3 seconds, until only the 1 is flashing.
The grease filter symbol goes out.
If you want to clean the grease filter(s) before the operating hours counter has reached its maximum,
Press the operating hours control
 for approx. 6 seconds, until only the 1 is flashing.

Installation recommendations

– When deciding on the safety distance
between the hob and cooker hood, please note that a distance of 650 mm above electric cookers/hobs may be preferable to give more working space under the hood.
– Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be using the hood most often. They should have sufficient space to work comfortably at the hob, and be able to reach the hood controls with ease.
– Please be aware that if positioned too
high, extraction will be inefficient.
– To achieve optimum vapour
extraction, the cooker hood must be positioned centrally over the hob, not to the side.
– The hob should be no wider than the
cooker hood, and if possible, it should be narrower.

Drilling diagram for wall mounting

Please follow the directions given in
the installation instructions supplied for drilling.
– The installation area must be easily
accessible. The cooker hood 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 cooker hood.
36
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).

Connection for air extraction

If the cooker hood is used at the
same time as a heating appliance that relies on oxygen from the same room, there is a risk in certain circumstances of toxic fumes building up.
It is essential that the "Warning and Safety" instructions are observed.
The cooker hood should be installed according to local and national building regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary.
Use smooth or flexible ducting made from approved non-flammable materials for exhaust ducting.
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 most efficient air extraction with the lowest noise levels, please note the following:
– The diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150mm.
– If flat ducting is being used, the cross
section must not be smaller than the cross sectional area of the exhaust connection.
– The exhaust ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– Ensure that all connections are
strong and airtight.
Remember that any constriction of the air flow 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.
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a flue, the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.
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 appliance.
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.
– Only use wide radius bends.
– The exhaust duct must not be kinked
or compressed.

Connection for air extraction

Condensate trap

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 for 125 mm or 150 mm ducting are available as optional accessories.

Silencer

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

Extraction mode

When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically and as closely as possible above the exhaust socket. The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of air-flow.
A condensate trap is integrated in cooker hoods which are designed for connection to an external motor
(model......EXT).
38
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.

Extraction mode with external motor

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 socket on the cooker hood . 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.

Electrical connection

Electrical connection

All electrical work should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent electrician in strict accordance with current national and local safety and building code regulations.
Please ensure the connection data (voltage and frequency) quoted on the data plate match the household mains supply. Please consult a qualified electrician if you are in any doubt.
Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket which is easily accessible after installation.
For extra safety it is advisable to operate the appliance via a suitable residual current device (RCD). Contact a qualified electrician for advice.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multisocket adapter or an extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
If the connection cable is faulty, it may only be replaced by a qualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard.
