Setting up Con@ctivity

Con@ctivity is the direct communication system between an electric Miele hob and a Miele cooker hood. It enables the cooker hood to operate automatically depending on the operational state of a Miele hob with onset controls.
- When the hob is switched on, the cooker hood lighting comes on automatically and then after a short time the fan also comes on.
- The cooker hood selects the power level automatically during cooking. The power level selected by the cooker hood depends on the number of cooking zones being used and their power levels.
- After switching the hob off the fan and the hob lighting will switch off automatically after a specified period of time.
See “Operation” for detailed information about this function.

Con@ctivity via the home WiFi network (Con@ctivity 3.0)

Prerequisite:
- Home WiFi network
- WiFi-enabled Miele hob

Page 21
When Con@ctivity is active, the cooker hood always operates in automatic mode (see “Before using for the first time” – “Setting up Con@ctivity”).
If you wish to manually operate the cooker hood, see “Operation (Manual mode)” – “Cooking without Con@ctivity”.

Cooking with Con@ctivity (Automatic mode)

Switch a cooking zone on at the
desired power level.
The hob lighting will come on.
After a few seconds the fan will come on, first at power level 2, then it will switch immediately to power level 1.
The cooker hood selects the fan power level automatically during cooking.

Operation (Automatic mode)

Examples for power levels 1 to B

Reaction time

The cooker hood reacts with a slight delay because altering the power level on the hob does not immediately result in a reduction or increase in cooking vapours.
Because the hob transmits the information to the cooker hood at intervals, this can also cause delays.
The reaction can vary from a few seconds to a couple of minutes.
This is determined by the total output of the hob, i.e. the number of cooking zones in operation and the power levels selected.
If you select a higher power level or are using several cooking zones, the cooker hood will switch to a higher fan power level.
When you reduce the power level or the number of cooking zones on the hob, the fan power level is also reduced.
21
Page 22
Operation (Automatic mode)

Cooking process

For example, you switch on a cooking
zone at the highest power level to heat a pan for frying. You reduce the power level after approx. 10seconds to 4minutes (60seconds to 5minutes for a for a HiLight hob).
The cooker hood recognises a cooking process.
The cooker hood switches itself on and when the hob power level has been reduced, the hood switches to fan power level 3 and remains at that level for approx. 5minutes.
After that, the cooker hood power level is determined automatically by the Con@ctivity function.
You can select another power level manually before then.

Switching off

Switch off all cooking zones.
The cooker hood fan will reduce its power level in stages over the next few minutes and will then switch itself off.
This helps to neutralise any lingering vapours and odours in the air.
- From the Booster setting, the fan switches immediately to Level 3.
- From Level 3, it will switch to Level 2 after approx. 1minute.
- From Level 2, it will switch to Level 1 after 2minutes.
- After 2minutes at Level 1 the fan switches itself off.
- After another 30 seconds, the hob lighting switches off.
The cooking process is then finished.
22
Page 23
Operation (Automatic mode)

Leaving automatic mode temporarily

To leave automatic mode temporarily during cooking:
Manually select a different fan power
level, or
Manually switch the cooker hood off,
or
Activate the run-on function on
the cooker hood. The fan will switch itself off after the selected run-on time, and the lighting will remain on.
The cooker hood functions are now operated manually (see “Operation (Manual mode)”).

Returning to automatic mode

The cooker hood will resume automatic mode:
- If the cooker hood has not been used for approx. 5minutes after selecting a fan power level manually, or
You can also operate the cooker hood manually for a complete cooking process.
Switch the cooker hood fan on
before the hob.
If the cooker hood fan and the hob have been switched off for at least 30seconds after cooking, automatic mode will resume next time the hob is switched on.
- If the manually selected fan power level corresponds to the automatic one again, or
- The cooker hood fan and the hob have been switched off for at least 30seconds. Automatic mode will resume next time the hob is switched on.
23
Page 24

Operation (Manual mode)

Cooking without Con@ctivity (Manual mode)

The cooker hood can be operated manually if:
- The Con@ctivity function is not activated.
- You have temporarily deactivated the Con@ctivity function (see “Operation (Manual operation)” – “Leaving automatic mode temporarily”).

Switching the fan on

Switch the fan on as soon as you start cooking. This is to ensure that vapours are captured right from the start.
Touch the On/Off control.
The fan will come on at power level 2.

To select a power level

For light to heavy cooking vapours and odours, select from power levels 1 to 3.
For short periods of cooking food with intensive vapours and a strong aroma, e.g. when searing meat, select Booster settingB.

Selecting the run-on time

It is advisable to run the fan for a few minutes after cooking has finished. This helps to remove any lingering vapours and odours from the air.
It also reduces the risk of residues accumulating in the cooker hood and any resultant odours.
The run-on function enables the fan to continue running for a pre-determined time before switching itself off automatically.
After you have finished cooking,
touch the run-on option control.
- Once: the fan will switch itself off
after 5minutes (5 lights up).
- Twice: The fan will switch itself off
after 15minutes ( 15 lights up).
- If you touch the run-on option
control again, the fan will remain on ( will go out).

Switching the fan off

Press the On/Off control to switch
the fan off.
Select the power level required by
touching a control from 1 to B.

Reducing power down from the Booster setting

If power management is activated (default setting), the fan automatically switches back to level 3 after 5minutes.
24

Press and hold the lighting control
again to increase the brightness to the level required and then release it.

Power management

The cooker hood is fitted with a power management system. Power management helps to save energy. It ensures that the fan power level is reduced automatically and that the lighting is switched off.
- If the Booster setting has been selected, the fan will automatically switch to level 3 after 5minutes.
- From fan power levels 3, 2 or 1, the power will be reduced by one level after 2hours and then in 30-minute stages until the fan finally switches off.
- The hob lighting will switch off automatically after 12hours.
You can deactivate power management. Keep in mind that deactivating this function may increase energy consumption.

Energy saving tips

This cooker hood operates very efficiently and economically. The following will help you to save even more energy when using it:
- It is important to ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated during operation.
- Always cook with the lowest possible setting. This produces fewer cooking vapours, so you can use a lower cooker hood power level and therefore benefit from reduced energy consumption.
- Clean or change the filters at regular intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce performance, increase the risk of fire and are unhygienic.
- Use the Con@ctivity function. The cooker hood will switch on and off automatically at the optimum power level for the cooking you are doing, which ensures low energy consumption.
- If you are operating the cooker hood manually, please note the following:
– Check the power level selected on
the cooker hood. A low power level is usually sufficient. Only use the Booster setting when necessary.
– When a large volume of cooking
vapours are being produced, switch to a high power level in good time. This is more efficient than operating the cooker hood for longer to try to capture cooking vapours which have already been distributed throughout the kitchen.
– Make sure that you switch the
cooker hood off after use. If cooking vapours and odours still need to be removed from the kitchen air after cooking, use the run-on function. The fan will switch off automatically after the selected run-on time.

Cleaning and care

Grease filters

Fire hazard
Oversaturated grease filters are a fire hazard.
Clean the grease filters at regular intervals.
The re-usable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen vapours, preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filters must be cleaned at regular intervals.
Heavily soiled grease filters hinder air extraction and will lead to increased levels of soiling in the cooker hood and in the kitchen.

Cleaning interval

Accumulated grease solidifies over a longer period of time and makes cleaning more difficult. The grease filters should therefore be cleaned every 3 to 4 weeks.
The filter operating hours control reminds you to regularly clean the grease filters by illuminating the grease filter symbol.

Removing a grease filter

When handling a grease filter, be
careful not to drop it. This can result in damage to the filter
and the hob below. Make sure you hold the filter securely
at all times when handling it.
To take out a grease filter, release the
locking clip on the filter, lower the filter approx. 45°, unhook it at the back and remove it.

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water and a small amount of washing-up liquid. Do not use “neat” washing up liquid.
You can set the operating hours counter interval to suit the type of cooking you do (see “Operation (Automatic and Manual modes)”).

Cleaning and care

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause damage to the surface of the filters if used regularly. Do not use:
- cleaning agents containing descaling agents
- powder cleaners, cream cleaners
- aggressive multi-purpose cleaning agents or spray cleaners for grease
- oven sprays

Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher

Place the grease filters upright or
slightly inclined in the lower basket. Ensure the spray arm is not obstructed.
Use a commercially available
household dishwasher detergent.
Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50°C and 65°C.
Depending on the detergent used, cleaning the filters in a dishwasher may cause the inside filter surfaces to become discoloured. This will not affect the functioning of the grease filters in any way.

After cleaning

After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before replacing them.
When removing the filters for
cleaning, also clean off any residues of oil or fat from the now accessible housing to prevent the risk of these catching fire.
Replace the grease filters, making
sure that the locking clips are facing down towards the hob.
If a grease filter is inadvertently
replaced upside down, insert a small screwdriver blade into the slit to disengage the clip.

Installation recommendations

- When deciding on the safety distance between the hob and cooker hood, please note that a distance of 650mm above electric cookers/hobs may be preferable to give more working space under the hood.
- Account should also be taken of the height of the person who will be using the hood most often. They should have sufficient space to work comfortably at the hob, and be able to reach the cooker hood controls with ease.
- Please be aware that if positioned too high, extraction will be inefficient.
- To achieve optimum vapour extraction, the cooker hood must be centred over the hob, not to the side or behind it.
- The hob should be no wider than the cooker hood, and if possible, it should be narrower.
- The installation area must be easily accessible. The cooker hood should be easily accessible and easy to dismantle in the event that service is required. This should be taken into consideration when planning the position of cupboards, shelves, ceilings or features in the vicinity of the cooker hood.
