Warning and Safety instructions
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 distances
between the top of a cooker or hob
and the bottom of the cooker hood are
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.

Page 7
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 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 such as carbon
monoxide could be drawn out of the
chimney or extraction ducting back
into the room, with potentially fatal
consequences.
7
Page 8
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
Page 9
Modes of operation
The cooker hood works with
. . . air extraction:
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap, 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:
(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 grease filters 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.
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)
The ...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.

E-Cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic
and chrome without the use of
chemicals. It can be washed 300 times.
Cleaning and care
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.
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.
These will damage the surface
material.

General notes
The surfaces and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasions. Please observe the
following cleaning instructions.
^
All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth, or
with warm water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a well
wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.
(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, and apply sparingly with
an even pressure in the direction of the
"grain".

Cleaning and care
Important for appliances with
lacquered housing
(special order finish)
It is very difficult to clean this type of
surface without causing minor marks to
the surface material. This can become
particularly noticeable with darker
colours and if there is halogen lighting
in the kitchen.
Controls
The controls may suffer
discolouration or damage if soiling is
left on them for too long. Remove
soiling straight away.
Observe the General notes on cleaning
earlier in this section.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the controls.
Glass surfaces
Grease filters
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid partilces from
the kitchen vapours (grease, dust etc),
preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filters should be cleaned
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to
avoid a built-up of grease, but always
clean immediately if the operating hours
control indicator lamp lights up red.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
^
Glass surfaces can be cleaned using
a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning
agent designed specifically for use
on glass.
Do not use:
–
abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
–
abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents,
–
oven sprays.
20
^
To take out the grease filters, release
the locking clip on the filter, lower the
filter 45°, unhook it at the back and
remove it.
To avoid damaging the filters or the
hob below, make sure you hold the
filters securely at all times when
handling them.
Page 21
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
Clean the filters 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.
Cleaning the grease filters in the
dishwasher
^ Place the filters with the short side
upright in the lower basket, and wash
on 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).
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.
When putting the grease filters back in
position, ensure that the locking clips
are facing down towards the hob.
If a grease filter is inadvertently
replaced upside down, insert a small
screwdriver blade into the slit to
disengage the clip.
^ After replacing the grease filters,
press the operating hours control for
approx. 3 seconds to reset the
operating hours counter.
The indicator lamp will go out.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the filters in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the filters in any way.
^
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before
replacing them.
If the grease filters are cleaned before
the operating hours counter has
reached its maximum, the operating
hours control should be pressed for
approx. 6 seconds to reset the counter.

Cleaning and care
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 filters.
This is designed to absorb cooking
odours.
It is fitted in the canopy above the
grease filters.
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 a charcoal
filter, the grease filters must first be
taken out (see previous section for
instructions on how to do this).
^ Take the charcoal filter out of its
packaging.
Always replace the charcoal filter imme
diately if
the indicator lamp for the operating
–
hours control lights up blue,
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 a new charcoal filter,
press the operating hours control
twice and hold it pressed in for
approx. 3 seconds to reset the
operating hours counter.
The operating hours indicator lamp
will go out.
-
^
Insert the charcoal filter into the
canopy.
^
Replace the grease filters.
When fitting for the first time:
^
Activate the operating hours counter
(see "Operation").
22
If a charcoal filter is replaced before
the operating hours counter has
reached its maximum, the operating
hours control should be pressed twice
and held pressed in for approx. 6
seconds to reset the counter.

Changing a halogen lamp
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work, disconnect the cooker hood
from the mains supply. Ensure that:
– it is switched off at the isolator, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed, or
– the fuse is withdrawn from the
fused spur connection unit, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed (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 access the halogen lamp, first
^
remove the lamp cover a.
Pull the old halogen lamp b out of its
^
socket and replace it with a new one.
^ Replace the lamp cover a carefully,
making sure it engages securely in
position.
Never use the lighting without the
lamp cover a in place; it has a filter
designed to cut out harmful rays.

Safety distance between hob and
cooker hood (S)
When planning the installation height
of your cooker hood, the minimum
safety distance between the top of a
cooker or hob and the bottom of the
cooker hood are 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.
See "Warning and Safety" instructions
for further information.
– 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.
Appliance dimensions
–
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.
–
The height of the cooking appliance
must be taken into account when
planning the installation height of the
cooker hood.

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 booklet.
This is particularly crucial when
using the cooker hood at the same
time as a heating appliance that
relies on oxygen from the same
room, which could result in the
build-up of toxic fumes.
Installation instructions
See enclosed Installation sheet for
instructions on how to install this
appliance.
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.
Protective foil
(on stainless steel appliances)
The housing components have
protective foil around them to prevent
them from transport damage.
Please remove this foil before fitting the
housing components. It can be peeled
off easily.
28
^ After loosening the fixing screws on
the tower, push the lever between the
tower and the extension piece to
lever the tower out of its fixings.
Page 29
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 and national
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.
29
Page 30
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)
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.
Silencer
To achieve even further reductions in
noise levels, a special silencer can be
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 on
EXT model cooker hoods.
On extraction models, it can be fitted
nearest the ducting outlet to the outside
to reduce neighbourhood noise.
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.
30
On recirculation models, it can be fitted
in between the fan and the deflector.

Operation with Control module DSM 400
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.
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 an external appliance to
be controlled according to 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.
