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 it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your dealer for advice. 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.

hoods 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Before installation, check the cooker

hood for visible signs of damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance is dangerous.

Before connecting the appliance to

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

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly, and where there is 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).

For safety reasons, this appliance

may only be used when it has been fully installed.

Installation, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by a Miele authorised person in accordance with current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

During installation, maintenance and

repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– it is switched off at the isolator, or

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable), or

–

the mains fuse is disconnected, or

–

it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug withdrawn, or

–

the fuse from the fused spur connection unit is withdrawn.

Only open the housing as described

in the instructions given in the installation sheet and in the Cleaning and care section of this booklet. Under no circumstances should any other parts of the housing be opened. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user, and can cause operational faults.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

For appliances with an external fan

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.

This appliance 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.

In 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 which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

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 may 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.

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 of

0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible in the room.

Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which must not be blocked, in windows, doors and 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 (Corgi registered in the UK) must be sought.

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. 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 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 qualified builder, gas fitter (Corgi registered in the UK) or electrician must be sought.

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

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct 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. 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 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".

Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean

this appliance. Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Correct installation

Refer to the cooker or hob

manufacturer's instructions as to whether a cooker hood may be operated above the cooker/hob.

The minimum safety distances

between the top of the cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood given in the "Appliance dimensions" section of this booklet must be maintained, unless the hob manufacturer states that a greater safety 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts

and accessories with this appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

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

The touch control is used to reset the operating hours counter every time the charcoal filter is replaced (see "Cleaning and care").

It can also be used to check and alter the operating hours counter.

For information about using the appliance, see "Operation".

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/Chartered Agent 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".

...anexternal 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.
