Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
technician.
A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check it for visible signs
of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of this rangehood can only be assured
if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the rangehood must match the mains electricity supply in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the rangehood.
Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains
electricity. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. Extension leads are a fire
hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
This rangehood must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
6
Warning and Safety instructions
Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
Only open the housing as described in the instructions given in the
installation sheet and in the "Cleaning and care" section of this
booklet. Under no circumstances should any other parts of the
housing be opened.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be
replaced by a Miele authorised service technician or suitably
qualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.

Warning and Safety instructions
Using at the same time as another heating appliance that depends on the air from the room
Danger of toxic fumes!
Great care should be taken when using the rangehood in the same
room or the same area of the house as another heating appliance
that depends on the air from the room.
Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct
exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. They
include gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters,
continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops and ovens.
The rangehood draws in air from the kitchen and from
neighbouring rooms. This applies to the following modes of
operation:
- extraction mode,
- extraction mode with an external motor,
-recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the
room.
If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating
appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extraction
ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.
Risk of death!
8
Warning and Safety instructions
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by
a heating appliance from being drawn back into the room, when
the range hood and the heater are both operated simultaneously,
an underpressure in the room of 0.04mbar (4Pa) is the maximum
permissible.
Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot
be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. The
diameter of the inlet openings must enable sufficient ventilation. A
ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to ensure safe
ventilation.
The overall ventilation condition of the dwelling must be taken into
account. If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder, or for
gas, a qualified gas fitter should be sought.
If the rangehood is being operated in recirculation mode, whereby
the air is redirected into the room in which it is installed, the above
restrictions do not apply.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Never use an open flame beneath the rangehood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame.
When switched on, the rangehood could draw flames into the filter.
Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
The rangehood can become damaged when exposed to excessive
heat.
– When using the rangehood over a gas cooktop, ensure that any
burners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the cooking
zone off when a pan is removed, even for a short time.
– Select a pan which is suitable for the size of the burner.
– Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the
pan.
– Avoid overheating the pan (e.g. when cooking with a wok).
Always switch the rangehood on when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in the rangehood, which could
cause corrosion.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
rangehood.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc., do
not leave the pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an open grill
unattended when grilling.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use the rangehood without the filters in place. This way
you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance
and hindering its smooth operation.
There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out as described in
these operating instructions.
The rangehood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising
from the cooktop.
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the rangehood
has cooled down.
Correct installation
Refer to the cooktop manufacturer's instructions as to whether a
rangehood may be operated above the cooktop.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solid
fuel stoves.
An insufficient safety distance between the stovetop and the
rangehood can result in damage to the rangehood.
The minimum safety distances between the top of the stovetop and
the bottom of the rangehood given in the "Installation" section of this
booklet must be observed, unless the stovetop manufacturer states
that a greater safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the rangehood,
and they have different minimum safety distances to the rangehood,
select the greater distance.
The distances given in "Installation" must be observed when
fitting the rangehood.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable
material. These can be obtained from builders' merchants.
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in current use for exhausting fumes from appliances burning
gas or other fuels. Neither should it be connected to ducting which
ventilates rooms with fireplaces.
If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation duct
no longer used for other purposes, seek professional advice.
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
You could injure yourself on the open vapour canopy. Only open it
when necessary.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered
by the machine warranty.
Accessories
Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be
invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
12
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Description of the functions
Depending on the model of the
rangehood, the following options are
available:
Air extraction mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filter and directed outside.
Non-return flap
The non-return flap is designed to
prevent the exchange of room and
outside air taking place.
The flap is closed when the rangehood
is switched off.
When the rangehood is switched on,
the non-return flap opens for the
cooking vapours to be blown directly
outside.
If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap, the nonreturn flap supplied must be fitted.
Recirculation mode
(can only be operated with a charcoal
filter, available as an optional
accessory: see "Technical Data")
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filter and then by a charcoal
filter. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen.
14
Description of the functions
Con@ctivity 2.0 function
Automatic control
The rangehood has a communication
facility which enables the automatic
operation of the rangehood depending
on the operational state of a Miele
electric cooktop.
For communication to take place, the
cooktop must be fitted with an
appropriate Con@ctivity 2.0 dongle .
The cooktop transmits information
about its operational status via a radio
signal to the rangehood.
– When the cooktop is switched on,
the cooktop lighting on the
rangehood comes on independently
and, then after a short time, the fan
also comes on.
– During cooking the rangehood
automatically sets the power level
according to the number of cooking
zones in operation and their power
levels.
– After switching the cooktop off, the
fan and the cooktop lighting will
switch off automatically after a
specified period of time.
See "Operation" for detailed information
about this function.
Please consult the installation
instructions for the Con@ctivity 2.0
dongle to see if connection to your
cooktop is possible.
In order to be able to use the
Con@ctivity 2.0 function, radio contact
between the cooktop and the
rangehood must be established (see
"Activating Con@ctivity 2.0").
