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.

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.

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.
10
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.

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.
