Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised 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 correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of this cooker hood 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 cooker hood must match the mains electricity supply in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the cooker hood
Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These 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.
The cooker hood must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
Touching electrical components and tampering with electrical 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.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele authorised technician.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised technician to protect the user from danger.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance

7
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 0.04mbar (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
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.
Accessories
Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other
manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept
liability.

sites.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however, essential for the correct
functioning of your appliance. Please
do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Miele dealer for
advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.

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.

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.
21
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.

Quit connection mode on the cooker
hood by pressing the run-on
control.
Con@ctivity has now been 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 2minutes.
22
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. 10seconds
to 4minutes (60seconds to
5minutes 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. 5minutes.
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. 1minute.
– From Level 2, it will switch to Level 1
after 2minutes.
– After 2minutes 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

changed. Further information about
cleaning and replacing the filters and
resetting the operating hours counter
can be found under “Cleaning and
care”.
Altering the operating hours counter
for the grease filter(s)
You can set the operating hours counter
to suit the type of cooking you do.
The factory default setting is a cleaning
interval of 30hours.
– Select a shorter time of 20hours if
you fry a lot.
– If you only cook occasionally, we
recommend that you still select a
short time. This is to prevent grease
hardening on the filter(s) and making

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.
32
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
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.
33
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.
36
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,
press the operating hours control

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.
Drilling diagram for wall
mounting

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 150mm.
– 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 1cm 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*
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 125mm or
150mm 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.
