Caring for the environment

Disposal of packing material

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

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!

Caring for the environment

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.

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

See the appropriate section in the
Warning and Safety instructions.

Description of the functions

Description of the functions

The cooker hood works with

. . . Air Extraction:

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

The cooker hood is fitted with a
non-return flap.
This flap is closed when the cooker
hood is switched off. No exchange of
room air and outside air can take
place. When the cooker hood is
switched on the non-return flap opens
for the cooking smells to be blown di­rectly outside.

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 appliance for the first
time. They contain important infor­mation about the safety, use and
maintenance of the appliance. This
will avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the appliance.
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 appliance.

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.

Technical safety

Before connecting the appliance to

the mains supply make sure that
the voltage and frequency correspond
to the rating on the data plate, other­wise the appliance could be damaged.
Consult a competent person if in doubt.

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 (e.g. 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.

The appliance is only completely iso­lated from the electricity supply when:

– it is switched off at the fused unit or

the fuse 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 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 (e.g.
danger of overheating).

The electrical safety of this ap-

pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and

Warning and Safety instructions

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 filters.
Fat particles drawn into the cooker
hood present a fire hazard.

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.

Clean or change the filters regu-

larly.
An over-greasy filter is a fire hazard.

Installation

The cooker hood can only be in-

stalled above an electric hob.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of
this cooker hood over a gas hob, a
solid fuel stove or an open grill (elec­tric).

The distance between the top of

the hob and the bottom of the
cooker hood (when the vapour guide is
completely retracted) must measure at
least 50 cm.

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.

Under no circumstances use a

steam cleaner to clean this ap­pliance.
Pressurised steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.

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, (e.g. 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 types of
heater need for combustion.
In order to ensure safe operation, and
to prevent the 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 (4 pa) 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.

N.B.: The overall ventilation condition of
the dwelling must be taken into ac­count.

In countries which may be subject

to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its surround­ings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guaran­tee.

Disposal of your old appliance

Before discarding an old ap-

pliance switch off and disconnect
from the power supply. Cut off and ren­der any plug useless. Cut off the cable
directly behind the appliance to pre­vent misuse. This should be done by a
competent person.

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

If in any doubt, the advice of a compe­tent builder or, for gas, a “Corgi” instal­ler must be sought.

Operation

Operation

Switching on

When the vapour guide is completely
retracted, the electrical connection is
switched off. In this position the cooker
hood cannot be operated.

To be switched on the vapour guide
must be drawn down slightly.

When the vapour guide is drawn down
a few centimetres to the "light position"
the hob illumniation can be switched on
or off. When the vapour guide is pulled
down further (“fan position”) all the
other functions can be activated.

The first time the cooker hood is
switched on and drawn down it will run
as follows (factory setting):

– Light on.
– Power level II.

Selecting the power level

Depending on how much the air needs
to be filtered, there are four power le­vels available. For normal cooking a
low to medium level is usually suffi­cient. For frying or cooking food with a
strong aroma the fourth level (intensive
setting) is recommended.

Setting the power level manually:

low setting intensive setting
Select the power level required by

pressing on the left hand or right hand
side of the touch control.

The indicator lamps show which power
level has been chosen.

The fan motor can be switched off by
pressing the left hand side of the power
level touch control. To switch on again,
press the right hand side of the control.

Setting the power level automatically:

Press the "AUTO" touch control.

The indicator lamp comes on. The
power setting can now be regulated by
drawing down the vapour guide or re­tracting it.
