This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for an installation in these applications. Please contact the nearest Miele dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Use this unit only in the manner

intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

Before servicing or cleaning the unit,

switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. If the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

Before discarding an old appliance,

Do not flambé or grill with an open

flame beneath the hood. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction and the grease filters may catch fire.

Never operate gas burners without

cookware. Turn the burner off when not in use. Adjust the burner so that the flames do not extend beneath the cookware. Do not overheat the cookware, e.g. when using a wok. The hood can be damaged due to excessive heat from the burners and the cookware.

Do not use the hood without the

grease filter in place.

Clean the grease filter regularly.

Dirty filters are a fire hazard.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

the hood. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Always turn on the hood when using

the cooktop to prevent damage from condensation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

, WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:

Never leave surface units

unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

Always turn the hood on when

cooking at high heat.

Clean ventilating fans frequently.

Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

Use proper pan size. Always use

cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

area where it started.

–

The fire department is being called.

–

You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation

, WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire only use metal ductwork.

Any fittings, sealant, or materials

used to install the ductwork must be made of approved non-flammable materials.

Provided a larger distance is not

given by the manufacturer of the cooktop, follow the minimum safety distances between a cooktop and the bottom of the hood:

– 22" (550 mm) above electric

cooktops,

– 30" (762 mm) above gas cooktops,

– 26" (650 mm) above an open electric

grill or an open electric boiler/fryer.

If local building codes require a greater safety distance, follow their requirement.

If there is more than one appliance beneath the hood and they have different minimum safety distances always select the greater distance.

Never connect an exhaust hood to

an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue, or room ventilating ductwork. Seek professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Installation work and electrical

wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

Sufficient air is needed for

combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

Do not install this hood over

cooktops burning solid fuel.

Do not use an extension cord to

connect the appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance, (e.g. danger of overheating).

When cutting or drilling into wall or

ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

Ducted fans must always be vented

to the outdoors.

The ventilation hood works by air extraction. The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filter and directed outside.

The hood comes equipped with a non-return flap in each chimney. This flap automatically closes when the hood is turned off so that no exchange of outside air and room air can occur. When the hood is turned on, the air pressure of the exhaust fan automatically opens the flap blowing the inside air and cooking odors outside.
