Operation
Extending/retracting the canopy, switching the blower on/off
Danger of crushing injuries!
Do not reach into the motion range
of the canopy while it is extending/
retracting.
Switch the blower on as soon as you
start cooking. This is to ensure that
vapors are captured right from the start.
Touch the On/Off control until all
symbols are lit up.
The canopy comes up. The blower
switches on at power level 2, the
cooktop lighting switches on at 70%
brightness.

out.
Reducing power of the booster level
The blower automatically switches back
to power level 3 after 5minutes.
Selecting the delayed shutdown time
It is advisable to run the blower for a
few minutes after cooking has finished.
This helps to neutralize any lingering
vapors and odors in the air.
It also reduces the risk of residues
accumulating in the ventilation hood
and any resultant odors.
The delayed shutdown function enables
the blower to continue running for a
pre-determined time before switching
itself off automatically.
After cooking has finished, press the
delayed shutdown control15 while
the blower is still running.
The blower will switch off after 15minutes.
The canopy remains extended.
If you touch the delayed shutdown
control15 again, the blower will
remain on.
Selecting the power level
Power levels 1 to 3 are available for light
to heavy cooking vapors and odors.
For strong vapors and odors that are
temporarily produced when cooking,
e.g., during searing, select the B
booster level.
Select the power level required by
tapping a button from 1 to B.
16
Turning the overhead lighting on/off
The cooktop lighting is switched on
and off when the deflector plate is
extended and retracted.
The cooktop lighting switches on at
70% brightness.
Touch the cooktop lighting control
to switch the lighting to 100%
brightness.
Touch the cooktop lighting control
again to switch the lighting off.
Operation
17
Energy-saving tips
This hood operates in a very efficient
and energy-saving manner. The
following will help you to save even
more energy when using it:
- Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation in the kitchen when
cooking. If there is insufficient air flow
during extraction mode, the hood
cannot operate efficiently, causing
increased operating noise levels.
- Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking
vapors so that you can use a lower
hood power level and therefore
benefit from reduced energy
consumption.
- Check the power level selected on
the hood. A lower power level is
generally sufficient for the majority of
cooking. Only use the booster level
when necessary.
- When a large volume of cooking
vapors are being produced, switch to
a high power level in good time. This
is more efficient than operating the
hood for longer to try to capture
cooking vapors that have already
been distributed throughout the
kitchen.
- Make sure that you switch off the
hood after use.
- Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.
18
Cleaning and care
Before proceeding with any
maintenance or cleaning task, the
ventilation hood must be
disconnected from the power supply,
see “IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS”.
Stainless steel housing
General information
Unsuitable cleaning agents can
damage the surfaces and control
elements.
Do not use any cleaning agents
containing soda, acid, chloride, or
solvent.
Do not use any 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
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).
Special instructions for glass surfaces
Glass surfaces can be cleaned using
a cleaner specifically for use on glass.
Moisture in the ventilation hood
can cause damage.
Make sure that water does not get
into the ventilation hood.
Clean all surfaces and control buttons
using a small amount of warm water
and liquid dish soap. Apply with a
sponge cloth.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
19
Cleaning and care
Grease filters and edge extraction panel
Risk of fire
Oversaturated grease filters are a fire
hazard.
Clean the grease filters at regular
intervals.
The edge extraction panel and the reusable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapors, preventing soiling of the
ventilation hood.
The grease filters and the panel must be
cleaned at regular intervals.
Heavily soiled grease filters hinder air
extraction and will lead to increased
levels of soiling in the ventilation hood
and in the kitchen.
Cleaning intervals
Grease which has collected in the
ventilation hood hardens over time and
makes cleaning more difficult. It is
therefore recommended that the edge
extraction panel and the grease filters
should be cleaned regularly (at least
every 3–4 weeks) to avoid a build-up of
grease.
After 30 operating hours, the grease
filter symbol will light up when the
deflector plate is out to remind you to
clean the edge extraction panel and the
grease filters.
Removing the panel and grease filters
The panel is held in place by magnets
at the top. Pull the panel forwards by
the upper edge, unhook it at the
bottom and remove it.
Open the grease filter retainer catch
and remove the filters.
20
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the panel
Follow the instructions under
“Stainless steel housing.”
The panel is not suitable for cleaning
in a dishwasher.
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and dish soap. Do not use undiluted
dish soap.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage
to the filter surfaces if used regularly.
Do not use any of the following:
- Lime removers
- Abrasive powders or abrasive liquids
- Aggressive all-purpose cleaners and
degreaser sprays
- Oven sprays
Cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher
Place the grease filters upright or
slightly inclined in the lower basket.
Ensure the spray arm is not
obstructed.
Depending on the detergent used,
cleaning the filters in a dishwasher
may cause the inside filter surfaces to
become discolored. However, this will
not affect the functioning of the grease
filters in any way.
After cleaning
After cleaning, leave the filters on an
absorbent surface to dry.
When removing the panel and filters
for cleaning, also clean off any
accessible oil or grease buildup from
the housing. Doing so will prevent a
fire hazard.
Resetting the filter saturation counter for the grease filters
Once cleaning is complete, the filter
saturation counter must be reset.
With the deflector plate out, touch the
grease filter control for approx. 3
seconds until the grease filter symbol
goes out.
Use a commonly available household
dishwashing detergent.
In a Miele dishwasher use the
“Normal” program.

Air venting
WARNING: Danger of toxic fumes.
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled.
To reduce the risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, the exhaust
gases extracted by the hood should
be vented outside of the building
only.
Do not vent exhaust air into spaces
within walls or ceilings or in attics,
crawl spaces or garages.
To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.
Please read and follow the
“IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS” to reduce the risk
of personal injury. Follow all local
building codes when installing the
hood.
The exhaust connection depends on
the blower used:
DAG 600........................6" (150mm),
DAG 1000:.....................10" (254mm)
- If elbows are needed, make sure they
have a large radius.
- The exhaust duct must not be kinked
or compressed. When selecting the
exhaust duct, ensure that it is rigid
enough to retain its shape during
operation.
- Make sure that all connections are
secure and airtight.
Any constriction of the airflow will
reduce extraction performance and
increase operating noise.
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a flue, the duct must be directed in
the flow direction of the flue.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
duct hoses made from noncombustible materials for exhaust
duct.
To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise levels,
please observe the following:
- The cross-section of the exhaust
duct must not be smaller than the
cross-section of the vent collar (see
appliance dimensions).
- The exhaust duct should be as short
and straight as possible.
When duct is horizontal it must be
laid to slope away at at least ¹/₈ inch
per foot. This is to ensure that
condensate cannot drain back into
the appliance.
If the exhaust duct is to be routed
through rooms, ceiling space etc., the
temperatures in these different areas
may differ greatly, which means that
the problem of condensation will
need to be addressed. The exhaust
duct will need to be insulated.
