time. They contain important infor­mation about the safety, use and
maintenance of the machine. This

damage to the machine.

Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner of

Appropriate use of the cooker
hood

The appliance is intended for do-

mestic use only.
The manufacturer cannot be held re­sponsible for any damage caused by
improper use or by non-observance of
these instructions.

when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing

Warning and safety instructions

The appliance is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply
when, depending on the type of con­nection:

- it is switched off at the fused unit or
the fuse is withdrawn
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed
To remove the plug, pull on the plug it­self, not the cable.
– the mains fuse is withdrawn
– or the screw-out fuse is removed. En­sure current is not restored to the ap­pliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the ap­pliance (eg danger of overheating).

Use of the appliance

Never use an open flame beneath

the cooker hood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambé or grill
dishes.
When switched on the cooker hood
could draw flames into the filter. Fat
particles drawn into the cooker hood
present a fire hazard.

When using the cooker hood over

a gas hob ensure that any burners
in use are always covered by a pan,
otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the cooker hood, parts of
which could then be damaged.

Always switch the cooker hood on

when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in
the hood, which could cause corrosion.

When cooking with oil or fat, chip

pans and deep fat fryers etc, do
not leave the pans unattended.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the cooker hood on fire.

Do not use the cooker hood with-

out the grease filters in place.
This way you will avoid the risk of
grease and dirt getting into the ap­pliance and hindering its smooth oper­ation.

Warning and safety instructions

The filters should be regularly

cleaned, or changed, as appropri­ate.
Saturated filters are a fire hazard.

Under no circumstances use a

steam cleaner to clean this ap­pliance.
Pressurised steam could give rise to a
short circuit or cause permanent dam­age to the surface and components, for
which the manufacturer of the cooker
hood cannot accept any responsibility.

Installation

The distance between the top of

the hob and the bottom of the
cooker hood must measure at least:

– 55 cm above electric hobs
– 65 cm above gas hobs

The distance of 65 cm between

the cooker hood and a gas hob is
a minimum, which is only permissible if
the nominal heat ratings given in the
table below are not exceeded:

Safety regulations prohibit the fit­ting of a cooker hood over solid

fuel stoves.

All ducting, pipework and fittings

must be of non-flammable mate­rial. These can be obtained from the
Miele Spare Parts department or from
builders’ merchants.

The appliance must not be con-

nected to a chimney or vent 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, take
professional advice.
