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the fuse is withdrawn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– the mains fuse is withdrawn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.
5
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.

Warning and safety instructions
When using the cooker hood at the
same time as another heating appliance which depends on the air in the
room (eg gas, oil or coal fired heaters,
continuous flow or other water heaters,
gas cooker, gas hob or gas oven), special care must be taken as the action of
the cooker hood extracts air from the
room, which these type of heaters need
for combustion.
In order to ensure safe operation, and to
prevent gases given off by the heating
appliances from being drawn back into
the room when the extractor and the
heater are in operation simultaneously,
an underpressure in the room of 0.04
mbar (4pa) is the maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be blocked, in windows, doors and outside wall vents, or
by other technical measures, such as ensuring that the extractor can only be
switched on when the heating appliance
is switched off or vice-versa.
Disposal of your old appliance
Ensure that disconnection from the
mains supply is carried out by a
competent person. Render any plug
useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by
non-observance of these instructions.
NB: 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 “Corgi”
installer must be sought.
If the cooker hood is operated in recirculation mode only, with active charcoal filters, these restrictions do not
apply.

Description of the appliance
The cooker hood can be set up to operate by either air extraction or by air recirculation.
The appliance is supplied from the factory ready for connection as an extractor.
Air extraction
Air is drawn in through the grease fil-
e, cleaned and directed outside.
ters
The appliance is fitted with a non-return
air flap. When the hood is not in operation, the non-return air flap is closed.
No exchange of air can take place between the air in the room and the air
outside.
Air recirculation
Air is drawn in through the grease filters and then through the active charcoal filters for cleaning. It then passes
back into the kitchen (see section “Air
recirculation”).

Cleaning and care
Before carrying out maintenance
work, the cooker hood must be disconnected from the mains supply.
ensure that, depending on the connection:
- it is switched off at the fused unit
or the fused unit switch is withdrawn, or
- it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed (do not pull
on the cable, only on the plug, or
- the mains fuse is withdrawn; or
- the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Ensure curent is not restored to the
appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.
Housing
The cooker hood housing can be
cleaned using hot water with a little
mild detergent. Dry using a soft cloth.
Never use cleaning agents containing soda, acids, chlorides or abrasive substances, as these can
damage the surface material.
Grease filters
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles from
the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc)
preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
Always clean the grease filters when
they are visibly saturated with grease,
or when their operating efficiency is reduced. They should be cleaned at
least every one to two months.
Cleaning and care
An oversaturated filter is a fire hazard!
To remove the grease filters, push
the filter retention clips in towards
the middle.
Take the grease filters out and clean.
By hand: with a scrubbing brush in hot
water with detergent.
In the dishwasher: Place the filters
with the short side upright in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray
arm is not obstructed.
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
for a while on an absorbant surface
before putting them back in place.
When removing the filters for cleaning also clean off any residues of oil
or fat from the now accessible housing to prevent the risk of these catching fire.
When replacing the filters, make sure
that the clips are visible, facing
down towards the hob.
Should a filter be replaced upside
down, insert a small screwdriver
blade into the slits to disengage the
clip. Do not let the filter drop onto the
hob below.
11
Cleaning and care
Changing the lamp and the
starter
Disconnect the cooker hood by
– switching off the mains switch
– withdrawing the mains fuse
– removing the screw-out fuse.
Lift the slide lug of the lamp cover
and slide to the right to remove.
Change the fluorescent lamp (15 W)
or the starter.
Inserting and removing active
charcoal filters
If the cooker hood is connected for air
recirculation, the active charcoal filters
must be installed in addition to the
grease filters. These filters absorb
odours from the kitchen.
Remove the grease filters.
12
Secure the active charcoal filters
using the screws enclosed.
The active charcoal filters should be replaced when they are no longer functioning efficiently, or at least every three
to four months.
Put back the grease filters.

Danger of toxic fumes
Please follow the advice in the section “Warning and safety instructions” very carefully.
The cooker hood should be installed acording to local regulations.
Seek approval from the buildings inspector where necessary.
Connection
– The extraction ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– Use large radius bends. Narrow
bends reduce the efficiency of the
cooker hood.
– Pipes made from non-flammable ma-
terials only may be used for extraction connection.
– If the extraction ducting is to be laid
horizontally, it should slope downwards away from the cooker hood
with a minimum incline of 1 cm per 1
metre of ducting to prevent condensed water from running back into
the appliance.
Calculating the extraction ducting
A pipe of diameter 120 mm (100 mm)
should guarantee trouble-free extraction by the cooker hood up to a total
pipe length of 34m (16m).
Determine the total pipe length as follows:
Measure the total length of the extraction ducting to be used.
Add the appropriate equivalent
length of additional piping to this figure, according to the number and
type of bends (see table).

Important!
If the exhaust ducting is to run through
cool rooms, ceiling space etc where
there may be great variations in temperature between the different areas,
the problem of sweating or condensation will need to be addressed.
The exhaust ducting will need to be
suitably insulated.
In addition to insulating the exhaust
ducting it may be necessary in some
cases to install a suitable condensate
trap to collect and evaporate any condensate which may occur.
Please note that the condensate
trap should be installed vertically
and as directly above the exhaust
socket of the cooker hood as
possible.
