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.

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.
Switch the cooking zone off when a pan
is removed, even for a short time.
Regulate the flame so that it does not
burn up the sides of the pan.
Do not allow the pans to overheat
excessively (e.g. when using a wok).
The cooker hood can become damaged
when exposed to excessive heat.
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.
The filters should be regularly
cleaned or changed as appropriate.
Saturated filters are a fire hazard. See
"Cleaning and care".

Warning and Safety instructions
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. It 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 distance betwen the top of the
cooker/hob and the bottom of the
cooker hood glass canopy must
measure at least 350 mm, unless a
greater distance is specified by the
manufacturer.
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.
6
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.
7
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.
8
Modes of operation
The cooker hood works with
. . . air extraction:
The air is drawn in through the vapour
plates, cleaned by the grease filter and
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 in the exhaust
socket in the motor unit.
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:
(requires a conversion kit and charcoal
filter: see "Technical Data")
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the vapour plates 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.

ter and a little washing-up liquid
applied with a well wrung-out soft
sponge or cloth.
^
Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate into the electronics and
cause damage.
-
(This infomation does not apply to the
controls).
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using the Miele E-Cloth, or with a
proprietary non-abrasive cleaning
agent designed specifically for use on
stainless steel.
To help prevent re-soiling, a
conditioning agent for stainless steel
such as Neoblank (available from the
Miele UK Spare Parts Department) can
also be used. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.
Controls
The controls may suffer
discolouration or damage if soiling is
left on them for too long.
Remove any soiling straight away.

Cleaning and care
Vapour plates and grease filter
The vapour plates and the re-useable
metal grease filter remove solid
particles from the kitchen vapours
(grease, dust, etc) preventing soiling of
the cooker hood.
The vapour plates and grease filter
should be cleaned regularly (at least
every 3-4 weeks) to avoid a build-up of
fat.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
Switch the hob lighting off and allow
to cool down before removing the
vapour plates to avoid any risk of
burning yourself on the lighting.
First, remove the vapour plate in the
^
middle. To do this, pull the vapour
plate out of its holder at the bottom
(1), then press on the top and bring it
down to remove it (2).
To avoid damaging the filter or the
hob below, make sure you hold the
filter securely at all times when
handling it.
20
Do not attempt to remove the side
vapour plates by pulling down on
the lower edge. If the lighting is still
hot, there is danger of burning
yourself.
To remove the side vapour plates,
^
hold on the side, pull out of the
holder at the bottom (1), then slide
towards the middle and pull
downwards (2).
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the grease filter by hand
Clean the filter with a soft nylon brush
^
in a mild solution of hot water and a
little washing-up liquid.
Do not use "neat" washing up liquid.
Do not use:
cleaning agents containing
–
descaling agents,
alkaline cleaning agents (with a pH
–
value higher than 7), such as powder
cleaners, cream cleaners or abrasive
all-purpose cleaning agents,
– oven sprays.
^ See the notes under "Housing" for
how to clean the vapour plates.
^
Pull the grease filter by the hand-hold
forwards and out.
Cleaning the grease filter in the
dishwasher
^ Place the filter with the short side
upright in the lower basket, and wash
in a 65° programme using a mild
dishwasher detergent, ensuring the
spray arm is not obstructed.
Avoid alkaline dishwasher detergents
(with a pH value higher than 7).
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the grease 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, leave the filter to dry
for a while on an absorbent surface
before putting it back in place.
21
Cleaning and care
When removing the filter 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 filter.
^
^ Replace the vapour plates.
First, slide the side vapour plates in
at the top, push sideways into place,
and click into place at the bottom.
After replacing the grease filter, press
^
the grease filter control for approx. 3
seconds to reset the operating hours
counter.
The indicator lamp will go out.
If the vapour plates and grease filter
^
are cleaned before the operating
hours counter has reached its
maximum, the grease filter touch
control should be pressed for approx.
6 seconds to reset the counter to
zero.
^
Fit the middle vapour plate into the
slots at the top (1), then click into
place at the bottom (2).
22
Cleaning and care
Glass surfaces
Glass surfaces can be cleaned using
^
a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning
agent designed specifically for use
on glass.
Avoid oven sprays.
–
^ The glass canopy can be tilted
forwards in order to clean it at the
back. Pull the lower edge forwards
until it is vertical.
If you cannot pull the glass canopy
forwards, it is possible that the
transport locking devices have not
been loosened. Follow the fitting
instructions.
Fitting and replacing the
charcoal filter
If the cooker hood is connected for
recirculation, a charcoal filter must be
inserted in addition to the grease filter.
This is designed to absorb cooking
odours.
It is fitted in the canopy above the
grease filter.
New filters can be purchased from
your Miele dealer or from the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
See back cover for contact details,
and "Technical data" for the model
number of the filter.
^ Before fitting or replacing the
charcoal filter, the vapour plates and
the grease filter must first be taken
out. See previous section for
instructions on how to do this.
^ Take the charcoal filter out of its
packaging.
^
After cleaning, tilt the glass canopy
back into position carefully. You will
feel a slight resistance when doing
so.
^
Slide it in above the guides for the
grease filter.
^
Replace the grease filter and vapour
plates.
23
Cleaning and care
When fitting for the first time:
Activate the operating hours counter
^
(see "Operation").
Always replace the charcoal filter imme
diately if
the indicator lamp for the charcoal
–
filter lights up,
or
– if it is no longer effective in absorbing
kitchen odours.
It should, however, be replaced at least
every 6 months.
Used charcoal filters can be disposed
of with the normal household waste.
^ After fitting the new charcoal filter,
press the charcoal filter touch control
for approx. 3 seconds to reset the
operating hours counter.
The charcoal filter indicator lamp will
go out.
-
^
If the charcoal filter is replaced
before the operating hours counter
has reached its maximum, the
charcoal filter touch control should be
pressed for approx. 6 seconds to
reset the counter.
24
Changing the halogen lamps
Disconnect the cooker hood from the
mains supply by:
- switching it off at the isolator or
at the wall socket and removing
the plug, or
- withdrawing the fuse from the
fused spur connection unit, or
- withdrawing the mains fuse, or
- removing the screw-out fuse (in
countries where this is
applicable).
Exercise caution when changing
halogen lamps. They get very hot
during use, and remain hot for some
time after being switched off. Do not
touch the surface directly when
changing a lamp, as grease particles
from your fingers will adhere to the
surface and damage it. Please follow
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Cleaning and care
To avoid damaging the lighting or
the hob below, make sure you hold
the lamp cover and halogen lamps
securely at all times when handling
them.
^ Pull the halogen lamp out of its
socket.
^ Gently push the new halogen lamp
into the socket (20 W with G 4
connector and side reflector, e.g.
Osram MINISTAR
reflector).

greater distance is specified by the
manufacturer of your cooking
appliance.
See "Warning and Safety
instructions".
Account should also be taken of the
–
height of the person who will be
using the hood most often. The
person should have sufficient space
to work comfortably at the hob, and
also be able to reach the hood
controls with ease.
– If positioned too high, extraction will
be inefficient.

Installation
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 book.
This is particularly crucial when
using the cooker hood at the same
time as a heating appliance that
relies on air from the same room, as
this could result in the build-up of
toxic fumes.
Installation instructions
See enclosed Installation sheet for
instructions on how to install this
appliance.
Protective foil
(on stainless steel appliances)
Some of the housing components have
protective foil around them to prevent
them being damaged during transport.
Dismantling
Should the appliance ever need to be
dismantled, follow the installation
instructions in reverse order as
described on the installation sheet.
A lever is supplied to assist with the
removal of the tower.
^ Push the lever between the tower and
the extension piece to lever the tower
out of its fixings.
^
Please remove this foil before fitting
the housing components. It can be
peeled off easily.
30
Important: To avoid the danger of
toxic fumes, please observe the
Warning and Safety instructions.
This is especially crucial when using
the cooker hood at the same time as
another heating appliance which
relies on air from the same room.
The cooker hood should be installed
according to local building
regulations. Seek approval from the
building inspector where necessary.
– All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable materials.
– The exhaust ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– To ensure efficient air extraction, the
diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150 mm.
Connection for air extraction
Where 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 cooker
hood.
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
–
the open air, the installation of a
telescopic wall vent is recommended.
If exhaust ducting with a diameter of
less than 150 mm, or if flat ducting is
used, the noise level of the cooker
hood will increase and extraction will
be less efficient.
Only reduce the diameter of the
ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g.
where narrower ducting has already
been installed.
–
Only use wide radius bends. Tight
bends reduce the air throughput of
the cooker hood.
–
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable
materials for extraction connection.
–
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
Important:
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
(optional accessory)
Silencer
(optional accessory for ...EXT models
only)
To achieve even further reductions in
noise levels, ...EXT models can have a
special silencer fitted in the ducting
system.
It can be sited at any suitable position
in the ducting system between the
cooker hood and the external motor.
In addition to insulating the exhaust
ducting, we recommend that a suitable
condensate trap is installed to collect
and evaporate any condensate which
may occur. Condensate traps are
available for C 125 mm or C 150 mm
ducting.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust connection. The arrow on the
housing indicates the direction of
air-flow.
32
All electrical work should be
undertaken by a suitably qualified
and competent person in strict
accordance with national and local
safety regulations
(BS 7671 in the UK).
Electrical connection
If the switch is not accessible after
installation (depending on country), an
additional means of disconnection must
be provided for all poles.
For extra safety it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD) with a
trip current of 30 mA.
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.
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. These do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance.
The voltage and connected load are
given on the data plate. This is visible
when the vapour plates are removed.
Ensure that these match the household
mains supply.
Connection of this appliance should be
made via a suitable isolator or a double
pole fused spur connection unit which
complies with national and local safety
regulations and the On-Off switch
should be easily accessible after the
appliance has been built in.
When switched off there must be an
all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the
switch (including switch, fuses and
relays according to EN 60 335).

33
Operation with DSM 400 control module
The Miele DSM 400 control module can
be used to combine the cooker hood
with other components.
It enables the following:
Connection to a window contact
switch
If adequate ventilation to the room can
only be ensured by having a window
open when the cooker hood is in use at
the same time as a heating appliance
which depends on the air from the
same room, then the control module
can be used to connect a window
contact switch (not supplied) to the
appliance.
Once connnected, the cooker hood can
only be operated when the window is
sufficiently open (see also "Warning
and Safety instructions").
When the window is closed, the cooker
hood fan cannot be switched on. The
indicator lamp for the On/Off touch
control on the cooker hood will flash.
The same applies to operation with an
external motor (depending on model).
The cooker hood lighting is not affected
by this.
EXT models can also be connected to a
window contact switch.
Take care when ventilating the room
through an open window that ventilation
is not impaired by a closed blind or
curtain.
If the control module is
disconnected in order to operate the
cooker hood without the window
contact switch (e.g. after moving
house), the cooker hood electronics
must be reset by a Miele service
technician.
Potential free connection
This enables a further appliance to be
controlled by the switch setting on the
cooker hood fan.
– For instance it can be used to ensure
a sufficient supply of fresh air when
the cooker hood and a heating
appliance which also depends on
the air in the room are being used
together, by switching on an air
intake fan, or opening a motorised
inlet flap as soon as the cooker hood
fan is switched on.
It is important to ensure that the fan
power is sufficient and that the air
intake has a suitable cross-sectional
diameter.
–
If a sufficient air intake cannot be
guaranteed, then the potential free
contact will enable a heating
appliance, which depends on air in
the same room as a cooker hood, to
be switched off when the cooker
hood is in operation.
See also "Warning and Safety"
instructions.
34
Operation with DSM 400 control module
Connection to a light switch
The control module can be used to
switch on the cooker hood lighting and
also to dim it via a light switch in the
house.
Installation
The tower needs to be removed before
the control module can be fitted to the
fan unit.
A fixing bracket is required for fitting
the control module. This is available
as an optional accessory (M.-Nr.
8363350).
The control module is supplied with its
own detailed operating and installation
instructions.
