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.

Packaging e.g. cling film, polystyrene and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!

Dispose of or recycle all packaging materials safely as soon as possible.

Disposal 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. Please do not therefore dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. If connected by a plug, the plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details.

Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on the safety, installation, use and maintenance of the appliance.

when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is in any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed

Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that all users are familiar with the contents. Pass them on to any future owner of the appliance.

Correct usage

This appliance is intended for

domestic use only. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper or incorrect use of the appliance.

Technical safety

Before connecting the appliance to

the mains supply, make sure that the connection details given on the data plate correspond with the on-site electricity supply; otherwise the appliance could get damaged. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

Installation, maintenance and

repair work may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Ensure that current is not supplied to the appliance until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

This equipment may only be used

in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

A damaged connection cable must

only be replaced by an approved and suitably qualified technician.

Warning and Safety instructions

The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply

when:

it is switched off at the wall socket

–

and the plug withdrawn, the fuse from the fused spur

–

connection unit is withdrawn, the mains fuse is withdrawn, or

–

the screw-out fuse is removed (in

–

countries where this is applicable).

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

For appliances with an external

motor fitted (EXT models) the connection of the two units must be made using the connection cable and the plug connectors. These models may only be combined with a Miele external motor.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Use

Never use an open flame beneath

the cooker hood. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame under the cooker hood. When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter. Fat particles drawn into the cooker hood present a fire hazard.

When using the cooker hood over

a gas hob, ensure that any burners in use are always covered by a pan. The burner should be switched off before taking a pan off the hob, even for brief periods. Regulate the flames so that they do not extend beyond the base of the pan. If flames are not covered by a pan, excessive heat can build up in the cooker hood with the risk of damage.

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.

Do not use the cooker hood without

the grease filters in place. This way you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance and hindering its smooth operation.

Warning and Safety instructions

The grease filters should be

regularly cleaned or changed as appropriate. Saturated filters are a fire hazard. See "Cleaning and care".

Do not use a steam-cleaner to

clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Safety with children

The appliance is only intended for

use by adults who have read these instructions. This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, keep children well away, and do not allow them to play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.

Older children may use the

appliance only when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

Please be aware that on

appliances with halogen lighting, the lamps will get very hot during use and remain hot for some time after switching off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the lamps at all times.

Packaging, e.g. cling film, polystyrene and plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all packaging safely as soon as possible.

Installation

The minimum safety distance

between the top of a cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood is as follows, unless a greater distance is specified by the manufacturer of your cooking appliance:

450 mm above electric hobs

–

and cookers, 650 mm above gas hobs and

–

cookers, 650 mm above an open grill or deep

–

fat fryer.

If more than one appliance is fitted beneath the cooker hood and they have different minimum safety distances to the cooker hood, select the greater distance.

Safety regulations prohibit the

fitting of a cooker hood over solid fuel stoves.

All ducting, pipework and fittings

must be of non-flammable material. These can be obtained from the Miele Spare Parts department or 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.

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, 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 may be starved of oxygen, impairing combustion.

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 extractor 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 and outside wall vents, or by other technical measures, such as ensuring that the extractor 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 "Corgi" installer, must be sought.

Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.

Warning and Safety instructions

One of the following technical measures may be necessary to ensure safe operation.

If the only way of ensuring adequate

–

ventilation is via an open window, a window contact switch should be fitted to ensure that the cooker hood can only operate when the window is opened sufficiently. A window contact switch kit is available from good builders' merchants. Take care when ventilating the room through an open window that ventilation is not impaired by a closed blind or curtain.

– The cooker hood can be set up to

automatically switch on an air intake fan or open a motorised inlet flap when it is switched on.

– The cooker hood can be set up to

automatically switch off a heating appliance which also depends on the air from the room when it is switched on.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

The Miele DSM 400 control module offers the possibility of combining other components with the cooker hood (see "Operation with Control module DSM 400"). It is available to purchase as an optional extra.

If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder or, for gas, a "Corgi" installer, must be sought.

If the hood is being operated in recirculation mode, the above restrictions do not apply.

Modes of operation

The cooker hood works with

. . . air extraction:

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the stainless steel outer filter and the grease filter, and then directed outside.

If the on-site ventilation system does not have a non-return flap, then the non-return flap supplied with the appliance must be fitted

Having a non-return flap fitted in the ducting ensures that air, once ducted to the outside, cannot get back into the room again.

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.

. . . air recirculation:

(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 stainless steel outer filter and the grease filter and then by a charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through grilles in the top of the cooker hood extension piece.

Charcoal filters are available to order through your Dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department. (See back cover for contact details and "Technical Data" for model number).

Before using the cooker hood in recirculation mode, ensure that the charcoal filter is in place. See "Cleaning and care".

. . . an external motor:

(EXT models only)

EXT models are designed to be connected to an external motor located outside the room.

The external motor is connected to the cooker hood by means of a control cable, and is operated by the controls on the cooker hood.
