Correct use

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP GREASE
FIRE:
- a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
- b) Always turn the hood on when cooking at a high heat.
- c) Clean the ventilation hood frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter.
- d) Use the proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the cooking area.
Open flames are a fire hazard.
The use of an open flame under the ventilation hood is not permitted. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on, the ventilation hood could draw flames into the filter. Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:
- a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
- b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
- c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.
- d) Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
– 1) You have a class ABC extinguisher, and you know how to operate it. – 2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started. – 3) The fire department is being called. – 4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
The ventilation hood may become damaged if exposed to
excessive heat from a gas cooktop.
- When using the ventilation hood over a gas cooktop, ensure that any burners in use are always covered by cookware. Turn burners off when removing the cookware, even if doing so for just a short time.
- Select cookware that is suitable for the size of the burner.
- Adjust the flame so that it never extends up the sides of the cookware.
- Avoid overheating the cookware (e.g., when cooking with a wok).
Always turn the ventilation hood on whenever a burner is in use to
prevent damage from condensation.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
ventilation hood. Do not leave cookware, pans, and deep-fat fryers unattended when cooking with oil or fat. Similarly, never leave an open flame unattended when grilling.
Fat and debris deposits impair the proper functioning of the
ventilation hood. To ensure that cooking vapors are properly cleaned, never use the ventilation hood without the grease filters in place.
There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not completed according to the
instructions in this manual.
Please note that the heat rising from the stovetop during cooking
can cause the ventilation hood to become very hot. Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the ventilation hood has cooled down.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper installation

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
- a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
- b) 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.
- c) When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
- d) Ducted hoods must always be vented to the outdoors.
- e) Do not use this hood with any solid-state speed control device.
To determine whether a ventilation hood may be operated above
your cooking appliance, please refer to the information provided by the appliance's manufacturer.
Safety regulations prohibit the installation of a ventilation hood
over solid fuel stoves.
An insufficient safety distance between the cooktop and the
ventilation hood can result in damage to the ventilation hood. The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop and the bottom of the ventilation hood given in the “Installation” section of this booklet must be observed, unless the cooktop manufacturer states that a greater safety distance is required. If more than one cooking appliance is installed beneath the ventilation hood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the ventilation hood, select the greater distance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Be sure to observe the information contained in the “Installation”
section when mounting the ventilation hood.
Components can have sharp edges which may cause injury.
Wear gloves to protect your hands.
When installing the exhaust duct, only use pipes or tubes made of
non-flammable material. These can be obtained from your Miele dealer or from Miele Technical Service.
Exhaust air should not be vented into a chimney or vent flue which
is otherwise in use and should not be channeled into ducting which ventilates rooms with fuel-burning installations.
If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation duct
no longer used for other purposes, seek professional advice.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE USE ONLY METAL
DUCTWORK.

Cleaning and maintenance

Never use a steam cleaner to clean the ventilation hood.
The steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Description of functions

Con@ctivity 2.0 function

Automatic control
This hood features a communication function which enables the automatic control of the hood based on the operational status of a Miele induction cooktop.
To enable the communication function, the cooktop must be equipped with the corresponding Con@ctivity 2.0 stick .
The cooktop transmits information about its operational status to the hood using a radio signal.
- When a burner is turned on, the cooktop lighting on the hood turns on automatically. After a brief delay, the ventilation hood fan also comes on.
- During cooking, the hood automatically selects the fan level based on the number of burners in operation and their power levels.
- Once you have turned off the cooktop, the fan and the lighting will turn off automatically after a predetermined delay.
Detailed information about this function can be found under “Operation.”
Please refer to the installation instructions for the Con@ctivity 2.0 stick to determine whether connection to your cooktop is possible.
There must be radio contact between the cooktop and the hood for you to be able to use the Con@ctivity 2.0 function (see “Activating Con@ctivity 2.0”).
