Caring for the environment

Disposal of packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances contain materials which can be reclaimed or recycled. Please contact your dealer, your waste collection centre or scrap merchant about potential recycling schemes.

Ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. See the appropriate section in the Warning and Safety instructions.

Warning and safety instructions

This appliance meets statutory safety requirements. Inappropriate use could, however, lead to risk of accidents to the user and damage to the appliance.

Read the operating instructions before using this machine for the first time. They contain important information about the safety, use and maintenance of the machine. This will avoid the risk of accidents and 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 the machine.

Appropriate use of the cooker hood

The appliance is intended for domestic use only.

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

Technical safety

Before connecting the cooker hood to the mains supply, make

sure that the voltage and frequency details given on the data plate correspond with the on-site electricity supply. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (eg electric shock).

Installation work and repairs may only be carried out by suitably

qualified and competent persons to ensure safety. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

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 without 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 appropri-

ate.

Saturated filters are a fire hazard.

Under no circumstances use a steam cleaner to clean this ap-

pliance.

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:

Gas cooker	maximum
	nominal rating
one burner	2.7 kW
all burners	7.5 kW
oven	3.5 kW

Gas hob	maximum
	nominal rating
one burner	3.5 kW
all burners	10.3 kW

Gas hob with ceramic cover plate

The data given for the maximum nominal (heat) ratings do not apply to a gas hob with a ceramic cover plate. In this case it is essential to refer to the hob manufacturer’s data.

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 connected 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.
