Before using for the first time

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

 Connect the cooker hood and hob to

your home WiFi network (see “Setting
up Miele@home”).

The Con@ctivity function will be
activated automatically.

19

Before using for the first time

Con@ctivity via a direct WiFi connection (Con@ctivity 3.0)

Prerequisite:

- WiFi enabled Miele hob

If you do not have a home network, you
can establish a direct connection
between the hob and the cooker hood.

See the Hob instruction manual for
details on how to connect them.

Instructions on how to connect the
cooker hood are repeated in detail
below.

 Switch the cooker hood off.

 Press and hold the B control.

 Touch the 1 control at the same time.

 Start the WiFi connection on the hob.

For further details, see the hob
operating instructions.

When successfully connected, 2and
3will light up constantly.

 Quit connection mode on the cooker

hood by touching the run-on
control.

Con@ctivity is now activated.

With a direct WiFi connection, it is not
possible to connect the hob and the
cooker hood to a home network.
Should this be required at a later date,
the WiFi connection between the hob
and the cooker hood must be
disconnected (see “Sign out of WiFi”).

2will light up constantly, 3will flash on
and off.

The cooker hood will be ready for
connection in the next 2minutes.

20

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

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

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

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

Operation (Manual mode)

Dimming/switching the hob lighting on/off

The hob lighting can be switched on
and off and dimmed independently of

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

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

 Before proceeding with any

maintenance or cleaning task, the
cooker hood must be disconnected
from the power supply (see “Warning
and Safety instructions”).

Housing

General information

 The surfaces and controls are

susceptible to scratches and
abrasion.

Please observe the following
cleaning instructions.

 All external surfaces and controls can

be cleaned using hot water with a
small amount of washing-up liquid
applied with a well wrung-out soft
sponge or cloth.

 After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry

using a soft cloth.

Do not use:

- cleaning agents containing soda,
acids, chlorides or solvents,

Important information for appliances with stainless steel surfaces

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
with a non-abrasive cleaning agent
designed specifically for use on
stainless steel.

To prevent the surfaces from quickly
becoming dirty again, we recommend
treating them with a stainless steel care
product (available from Miele).

Important information for appliances with lacquered casing

Minor scratches on the surface are
inevitable when cleaning the casing;
they may be visible depending on the
lighting in the kitchen.

Important for appliances with glass surfaces

 Glass surfaces can be cleaned using

a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning
agent designed specifically for use on
glass.

- abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners or cream cleaners
and abrasive sponges, as well as pot
scourers or sponges which have
been used previously with abrasive
cleaning agents. These will damage
the surface material.

30

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)”).

31

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.

32

Cleaning and care

Resetting the grease filter operating hours counter

After cleaning, the operating hours
counter needs to be re-set.

 Whilst the fan is switched on, press

the Grease filter control  for
approx. 3 seconds, until only the 1 is
flashing.

The Grease filter symbol  goes out.

If you want to clean the grease filters
before the operating hours counter has
reached its maximum:

 Touch the Grease filter control  for

approx. 6 seconds, until only the 1 is
flashing.

Charcoal filters

Four charcoal filters must be fitted in
addition to the grease filters. These are
designed to absorb cooking odours.

The charcoal filters are fitted in the
canopy from above.

Fitting/replacing charcoal filters

 Take the charcoal filters out of their

packaging.

 Open the apertures for the charcoal

filters.

 Insert the charcoal filters and close

the apertures up again.

33

Cleaning and care

When to change the charcoal filters

 Always replace the charcoal filters

when they no longer absorb kitchen
odours effectively.
They should, however, be replaced at
least every 2 years.

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.

Electrical connection

 All electrical work should be

undertaken by a suitably qualified
and competent electrician in strict
accordance with current national and
local safety and building code
regulations.

Please ensure the connection data
(voltage and frequency) quoted on the
data plate match the household mains
supply. Please consult a qualified
electrician if you are in any doubt.

Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket which is easily
accessible after installation.

For extra safety it is advisable to
operate the appliance via a suitable
residual current device (RCD). Contact
a qualified electrician for advice.

Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a
multisocket adapter or an extension
lead. These are a fire hazard and do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance.

The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the
following code:

Green/yellow .................................earth

Blue .............................................neutral

Brown ................................................live
