(pull the plug not the cord).
Correct use
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP GREASE
FIRE:
– a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Heat oils slowly
on low or medium settings.
– b) Always turn the hood on when cooking at a high heat.
– c) Clean the ventilation hood frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter.
– d) Use the proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for
the size of the cooking area.
Never use an open flame beneath the ventilation hood.
To avoid the risk of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame.
When turned on, the ventilation hood will draw any flames into the
filter. Fat deposits may ignite.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING*:
– a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet, or
metal tray then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT
BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
– b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
– c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a
violent steam explosion will result.
– d) Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
– 1) You have a class ABC extinguisher, and you know how to operate it.
– 2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
– 3) The fire department is being called.
– 4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
The ventilation hood may become damaged if exposed to
excessive heat from a gas cooktop.
– When using the ventilation hood over a gas cooktop, ensure that
any burners in use are always covered by cookware. Turn burners
off when removing the cookware, even if doing so for just a short
time.
– Select cookware that is suitable for the size of the burner.
– Adjust the flame so that it never extends up the sides of the
cookware.
– Avoid overheating the cookware (e.g., when cooking with a wok).
Always turn the ventilation hood on whenever a burner is in use to
prevent damage from condensation.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
ventilation system.
Do not leave cookware, pans, and deep fryers unattended when
cooking with oil or fat. Similarly, never leave an open grill unattended
when grilling.
Fat and debris deposits impair the proper functioning of the
ventilation hood.
To ensure that cooking vapors are properly cleaned, never use the
ventilation hood without the grease filters in place.

your cooking appliance, please refer to the information provided by
the appliance's manufacturer.
Safety regulations prohibit the installation of a ventilation hood
over solid fuel stoves.
An insufficient safety distance between the cooktop and the
ventilation hood can result in damage to the ventilation hood.
The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop and
the bottom of the ventilation hood given in the “Installation” section
of this booklet must be observed, unless the cooktop manufacturer
states that a greater safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is installed beneath the
ventilation hood, and they have different minimum safety distances
to the ventilation hood, select the greater distance.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Be sure to observe the information contained in the “Installation”
section when mounting the ventilation hood.
Metal parts can have sharp edges which may cause injury.
Wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut.
When installing the exhaust duct, only use pipes or tubes made of
non-flammable material. These can be obtained from your Miele
dealer or from Miele Technical Service.
Exhaust air should not be vented into a chimney or vent flue which
is otherwise in use and should not be channeled into ducting which
ventilates rooms with fuel-burning installations.
If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation duct
no longer used for other purposes, seek professional advice.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE USE ONLY METAL
DUCTWORK.
Cleaning and maintenance
There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not completed according to the
instructions in this manual.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean the ventilation hood.
