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.
Reliable and safe operation of this hood can only be guaranteed if
it has been connected to the electrical supply.
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).
Adequate ventilation must be provided when the hood is operated
simultaneously with devices that burn gas or other fuels.
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.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the
safety of the appliance.
5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.

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 Fire Safety 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.
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 system can result in damage to the hood.
The minimum safety distances between the appliance and the
bottom of the ventilation system specified in the "Installation"
section must be maintained, unless the appliance's manufacturer or
local building codes has indicated that a greater distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is used beneath the ventilation
system, and if different minimum safety distances apply for these
appliances, you should use the greater distance.
9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Be sure to observe the information contained in the "Installation"
section when mounting the ventilation hood.
Metal parts can have sharp edges which may cause injury.
Wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut.
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.
Cleaning and care
There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not completed according to the
instructions in this manual.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean the ventilation hood.
The steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
Accessories
Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from
other manufacturers are used, the warranty will become void.
