The hood offers two modes of operation:

Functional description

Air extraction

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside.

The hood comes equipped with a non-return flap. 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.

Recirculation mode

Air is drawn through the grease filters and an active charcoal filter. The filtered air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through a vent at the top of the hood’s chimney.

The recirculation mode requires an install kit and charcoal filter which are optional accessories.

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

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

Before cleaning or servicing the hood, disconnect it from the power supply, see "Important Safety Instructions".

The halogen bulbs are very hot

when in use. They stay hot for some time after turned off. Use caution, danger of burns. Wet cleaning the hot bulbs will cause damage. Wait a few minutes after turning them off before cleaning.

Cleaning the casing

Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic (oven) cleaners on the hood. They will damage the surface.

Avoid:

cleaning agents containing soda,

–

acids or chlorides,

abrasive cleaning agents

–

e.g. powder or cream cleansers,

abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers

–

or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents.

These will damage the surface.

The following instructions for cleaning "Stainless steel" surfaces and "Stainless steel colored controls" should be followed in addition to the general "Cleaning the casing" instructions.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.

To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner for stainless steel can be applied.

Stainless steel colored controls

All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned with a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge.

Wipe dry using a soft cloth.

Do not use too much water when cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate the electronics and cause damage.

Glass surfaces can be cleaned using a glass cleaner.

These controls may become dis colored or damaged if not cleaned regularly. Do not use a stainless steel cleaner on these controls.

Cleaning and Care

Grease filters

The reusable metal grease filters remove solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).

The grease filters should be cleaned every3-4weeks or when the grease filter indicator lights.

A dirty filter is a fire hazard.

In a dishwasher: place the filter

vertically in the lower basket, making sure that the spray arm is not blocked. Use a wash program with a max. temperature of 150°F (65°C). In a Miele dishwasher use the "Normal" program. Use the recommended amount of dishwasher detergent. Overuse could destroy the filter.

Depending on the detergent, cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher may cause permanent discoloration of the filter surface. Performance of the filter will not be affected by this discoloration.

^ After cleaning, the filters can be

placed on a towel to air dry.

^ While the filters are removed, clean

any dirt or grease from the filter casing to prevent the risk of fire.

To remove the grease filters pull the locking clips, 1, forward. Lower the filter 45°, 2, unhook it at the rear, 3, and take it out. Support the grease filter so that it does not fall onto the cooktop.

Cleaning the grease filter

By hand: use a scrub brush with a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Do not use the pure detergent, aggressive all purpose cleaners, oven sprays, abrasive cleaning agents or limescale removers. They could destroy the filter.

When putting the grease filters back make sure that the locking clips are visibly facing the cooking surface.

If the filters are incorrectly installed, insert a small screwdriver into the slit along its edge to disengage it from the casing.

After returning the grease filters, press and hold the grease filter button for 3 seconds to reset the timer. The indicator light will go out.

If the grease filters are cleaned before the grease filter timer has reached its maximum, press the grease filter button for 6 seconds to reset the counter to zero.

WARNING

Danger of toxic fumes.

Air extraction

Exhaust ducting and connections

Use smooth or flexible pipwork made from approved non-flammable materials for exhaust ducting.

Gas cooking appliances release carbon monoxide that can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, the exhaust gases extracted by the hood should be vented outside of the building only.

Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or in attics, crawl spaces or garages.

To reduce the risk of fire, only use metal ductwork.

Please read and follow the

"IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of

personal injury. Follow all local building codes when installing the hood.

To achieve the most efficient air extraction and quietest noise levels, consider the following:

The diameter of the ductwork should

–

not be less than 6" (150 mm).

If flat ducting is used, the cross

–

section must not be smaller than the cross section of the ventilation exhaust.

– The ducting should be as short and

straight as possible.

– Use ductwork with a wide raduis.

– The exhaust duct must not be bent

or compressed.

– Make sure all connections are

secure.

– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it

must slope away from the hood at

least

/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to prevent condensation dripping into the appliance.

–

If the exhaust is ducted through an outside wall, a Telescopic Wall Vent can be used.

Air extraction

– If the exhaust is ducted into an

inactive flue, the air must be expelled parallel to the flow direction of the flue.

Never connect an exhaust hood to an active chimney, dryer vent, flue, or room venting ductwork. Seek professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.

Condensate trap

optional accessory

In some cases, a condensate trap may also be required to collect and evaporate any condensate which may occur. This optional accessory is available for ducts 5" (125 mm) and 6" (150 mm) in diameter.

^ When installing a condensate trap,

ensure that it is positioned vertically and if possible directly above the exhaust outlet.

Important

If the ductwork runs through rooms, ceilings, garages, etc. where temperature variations exist, it may need to be insulated to reduce condensation.

Electrical connection

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

All electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician in strict accordance with national regulations (for USA: ANSI-NFPA 70) and local safety regulations. Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Ensure that power to the appliance is off while installation or repair work is performed.
