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 cooker hood in the same room or the same area of the house at the same time 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 hobs and ovens.
The cooker hood draws in air from the kitchen and from neighbouring rooms. This applies to the following modes of operation: – Extraction mode – Recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the room.
If there is insufficient air, negative pressure 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. Risk of death!
8
Warning and Safety instructions
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by the heating appliance from being drawn back into the room when the cooker hood and the heater are both operated simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04mbar (4Pa) 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 cross-section 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 (registered with an official gas safety body in accordance with national safety regulations)must be sought.
If the cooker hood 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

Open flames are a fire hazard.
The use of an open flame under the cooker hood is not permitted. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter. Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
The cooker hood can become damaged when exposed to
excessive heat.
– When using the cooker hood over a gas hob, 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 cooker hood on when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in the hood, which could cause corrosion.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
cooker hood. 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 cooker hood 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 the cooker hood is not cleaned as
described in these operating instructions.
The cooker hood can get very hot during cooking due to heat
rising from the hob. Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the cooker hood has cooled down.

Correct installation

Refer to the cooker or hob manufacturer's instructions as to
whether a cooker hood may be operated above the cooker/hob.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
An insufficient safety distance between the hob and the cooker
hood can result in damage to the cooker hood. The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood given in the “Installation” section of this booklet must be maintained, unless the hob manufacturer states that a greater safety distance is required. If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the cooker hood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the cooker hood, select the greater distance.
The distances given in „Installation“ must be observed when
fitting the cooker hood.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Exhaust ducting must be of non-inflammable material. Suitable
material is available from your Miele dealer.
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or flue which
is in use. 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.

Modes of operation

Depending on the model of the cooker hood, the following options are available:

Extraction mode

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filter and directed outside.

Non-return flap

A non-return flap fitted in the vent system ensures that when the cooker hood is not in operation the duct is closed and no exchange of room air and outside air can take place. The flap is closed when the cooker hood is switched off. When the cooker hood is switched on, the non-return flap opens for the cooking vapours to be blown directly outside.

Recirculation mode

Recirculation mode cooker hoods require charcoal filters. These are available as optional accessories: 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.
If the on-site ventilation system does not have a non-return flap, one is supplied with the cooker hood. It must be fitted in the exhaust socket on the motor unit.

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

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.
23
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.
24
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)”).

Energy saving tips

This cooker hood operates very efficiently and economically. The following will help you to save even more energy when using it:
– Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation in the kitchen when cooking. In extraction mode, if there is insufficient air flow the cooker hood cannot operate efficiently and this causes increased operating noise levels.
– 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”).

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 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.
Moisture in the cooker hood can
cause damage. Make sure that water does not get
into the cooker hood.
All external surfaces and control
elements 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.

Cleaning and care

Grease filters and panel for edge extraction

Fire hazard
An oversaturated grease filter is a fire hazard.
Clean the grease filter at regular intervals.
The edge extraction panel and the re­usable metal grease filter in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen vapours, preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filter and the panel must be cleaned at regular intervals.
A heavily soiled grease filter hinders air extraction and will lead to increased levels of soiling in the cooker hood and in the kitchen.

Cleaning interval

The edge extraction panel should be cleaned regularly (at least every 3 - 4 weeks) to avoid a build-up of grease.

Removing the panel and grease filters

The panel and grease filter can
fall out when you are handling them. This can result in damage. Make sure you hold the panel and
the grease filter securely at all times when handling them.
Pull the panel out of the holder at the
bottom, press it back a little at the top , then unhook it and carefully lift it out.
The operating hours counter will remind you to clean the edge extraction panel and the grease filter regularly via the grease filter symbol which will light up.
You can set the operating hours counter interval to suit the type of cooking you do (see “Operation (automatic and manual modes)”).
34
Release the locking clip on the
grease filter, allow it to swing out towards you slightly, then unhook it and take it out.
Cleaning and care

Removing the drip tray

Condensate collects in the drip tray underneath the grease filter. This tray can be removed for cleaning.
After taking the grease filter out, hold
the drip tray in the middle and pull it slightly upwards and then carefully pull it out towards you.
Pour any condensate away.

Cleaning the panel by hand

For cleaning purposes, follow the
instructions provided under “Housing”.

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 filter and the drip tray in a dishwasher

Place the grease filter and the drip
tray upright or slightly inclined in the lower basket, ensuring the spray arm is not obstructed.
Use a standard household
dishwasher detergent.
Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50°C and 65°C.

Cleaning the grease filter and the drip tray by hand

Clean the grease filter and the drip
tray with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and a little washing-up liquid. Do not use “neat” washing-up liquid.
Depending on the cleaning agent used, cleaning the filter in a dishwasher can cause permanent discolouration to internal surfaces of the filter. However, this will not affect the functioning of the filter in any way.
35
Cleaning and care

After cleaning

After cleaning, leave the filter to dry
on an absorbent surface before replacing it.
When removing the panel and grease
filter for cleaning, also clean off any residues of oil or fat from the now accessible parts of the casing to prevent the risk of these catching fire.
Refit the drip tray.Replace the grease filter, making sure
that the locking clip is facing outwards.
If the grease filter is inadvertently
replaced the wrong way round, insert a small screwdriver blade into the slit to disengage the clip.
Hook the panel in at the top and then
push it into position at the bottom.

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 operating hours control  for approx. 3 seconds, until only the 1 is flashing.
The Grease filter symbol goes out.
If you want to clean the grease filter before the operating hours counter has reached its maximum:
Press the operating hours control
 for approx. 6 seconds, until only the 1 is flashing.

Cleaning and care

Charcoal filter

For recirculation mode, a charcoal filter must be fitted in addition to the grease filter. The charcoal filter is designed to absorb cooking odours.
The charcoal filter is fitted in the top of the cooker hood.

Fitting/replacing charcoal filters

Take the charcoal filter out of its
packaging.
Fit the charcoal filter into the holder in
the top of the cooker hood.

When to change the charcoal filter

Replace the charcoal filter when it no
longer absorbs kitchen odours effectively. It should, however, be replaced at least every 6 months.
The operating hours counter will remind you to replace the charcoal filter by lighting up the charcoal filter symbol .

Resetting the charcoal filter operating hours counter

After changing the charcoal filter, the operating hours counter needs to be re­set.
To do this, with the fan switched on,

Installation recommendations

– 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 positioned centrally over the hob, not to the side.
– 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.

Installation

Connection for air extraction

If the cooker hood is used at the
same time as a heating appliance that relies on oxygen from the same room, there is a risk in certain circumstances of toxic fumes building up.
It is essential that the „Warning and Safety“ instructions are observed.
The cooker hood should be installed according to local and national building regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary.
For ducting, use smooth pipes or flexible ducting made from approved non-flammable materials.
To achieve the most efficient air flow rate with the lowest noise levels, please note the following:
– The diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150mm.
– If flat ducting is being used, the cross
section must not be smaller than the cross sectional area of the exhaust connection.
If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a telescopic wall vent or a roof vent (available as an optional accessory) is recommended.
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a flue, the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.
Where ducting is horizontal, it must
be laid to slope away at a gradient of at least 1cm per metre. This is to ensure that condensate cannot drain back into the cooker hood.
If the ducting is to run through cool
rooms, ceiling space, etc., there may be significant variations in temperature between the different areas. The problem of condensation will need to be addressed. The ducting will need to be suitably insulated.
– The ducting should be as short and
straight as possible.
– Only use wide radius bends.
– The ducting must not be kinked or
compressed.
– Ensure that all connections are
strong and airtight.
Remember that any constriction of the air flow will reduce the air flow rate and increase operating noise.

Installation

Condensate trap

In addition to insulating the exhaust ducting, we recommend that a suitable condensate trap is also installed to collect and evaporate any condensate which may occur. Condensate traps for 125mm or 150mm ducting are available as optional accessories.

Silencer

To achieve even further reductions in noise levels, a special silencer (optional accessory) can be fitted in the ducting system.

Extraction mode

A condensate trap can only be fitted in extraction ducting which is directed upwards out of the cooker hood.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically and as closely as possible above the exhaust socket. The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of air-flow.
The silencer not only reduces noise from the motor outside the house, but also sounds from outside (e.g. traffic noise). For this reason the silencer must be positioned as close as possible to the ducting exit.
