IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a

qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.

 To avoid damaging the ventilation hood, make sure that the

connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the building's power supply before connecting the appliance. When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

 Do not use a power bar or extension cord to connect the

ventilation hood to electricity. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required level of appliance safety.

 To ensure safe operation, only use the ventilation hood after it has

been properly installed.

 This ventilation hood may not be used in non-stationary locations

(e.g. on a ship).

 Only open the housing as described in the enclosed "Installation

diagram" and in the "Cleaning and care" section of this manual. Under no circumstances should any other parts of the housing be opened. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operation faults.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts

only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.

 If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a

qualified service technician.

 During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the ventilation

hood must be disconnected from the electrical supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply if one of the following applies:

– The circuit breakers on the electrical service panel are tripped. – The screw-type fuses on the electrical service panel have been

removed.

– The power cable (if present) has been unplugged from the socket

(pull the plug not the cord).

Proper 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.

 Never use an open flame beneath the ventilation hood.

To avoid the risk of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When turned on, the ventilation hood will draw any flames into the filter. Fat deposits may ignite.

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 Firesafety 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 oils and fats can ignite and set the ventilation hood

on fire. When cooking with oils or fats, do not leave pots, pans or fryers unattended. Never leave an electric grill 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.

 A filter containing too much grease is a fire hazard!

The filters should be cleaned or replaced at regular intervals.

 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

above solid fuel stoves.

 Insufficient distance between the cooking appliance and the

ventilation hood can result in damage to the hood. The minimum safety distances between the appliance and the bottom of the ventilation hood specified in the "Installation" section must be maintained, unless the appliance's manufacturer has indicated that a greater distance is required. If more than one cooking appliance is used beneath the ventilation hood, and if different minimum safety distances apply for these appliances, you should use the greater distance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Be sure to observe the information contained in the "Installation"

section when mounting the ventilation hood.

 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 vent flue no

longer used for other purposes, be sure to comply with all applicable regulations.

 WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE USE ONLY METAL

DUCTWORK.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning and care

 Never use a steam cleaner to clean the ventilation hood.

Description of functions

The following functions are available on your ventilation hood, depending on the model:

Vented mode

The air is drawn into the ventilation hood. It is then cleaned by the edge extraction panels and the grease filters and directed outside.

Non-return flap

A non-return flap in the ducting prevents the exchange of inside and outside air from occurring when the ventilation hood is not in use. The flap is closed when the ventilation hood is turned off. When the ventilation hood is turned on, the non-return flap opens so that the exhaust air can be transported outside without any obstruction.

Recirculation mode

(Only DA 6596 W requires a Recirculation kit and OdorFree Charcoal Filter (available as optional accessories); see "Technical data" for more information.)

The air is drawn in and cleaned first by the edge extraction panels and the grease filters, and then by a charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen.

A non-return flap has been provided with the hood in case your ducting does not have one. It is inserted into the outlet duct collar of the fan.
