. . . 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

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the fuse is withdrawn, or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– the mains fuse is withdrawn; or – the screw-out fuse is removed, (in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

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.

drawn down = low power (level II)

retracted = high power (intensive)

Operation

With automatic operation the power setting can also be altered manually.

Use the power level control to select the setting required.

Whatever the position of the vapour guide the fan will switch to the power setting required.

If you bring the vapour guide to the position which corresponds to the manually selected setting, the appliance will revert to "AUTO" operation.

Run-on option

If the air still needs to be cleared after cooking, the cooker hood can be set to continue running.

The fan motor will then be switched off automatically after a further 5 or 15 minutes.

Switching off

You can switch the fan off by either

repeatedly pressing the left hand side of the power control until all the indicator lamps go out,

retracting the vapour guide. The next time the vapour guide is drawn down, the fan will run at power level II.

Switching the lighting on or off

The lighting in the cooker hood for illuminating the hob can be switched on or off independently of the fan.

Draw the vapour guide down slightly. Press the touch control for the light-

ing.

Press the run-on option touch control.

Press once = 5 minutes run-on time Press twice = 15 minutes run-on time Press 3 times = switch off

The relevant indicator lamp glows to confirm the time selected.

To deactivate the run-on option time, press the run-on option touch control until both the control lamps go out.

To switch the lighting off either press the lighting touch control again, or retract the vapour guide.

Operation

Filter operating hours counter

The operating hours counter for the grease filter is set at the factory for 30 hours. (This can be changed if required. See “Altering the grease filter operating hours”).

After this set time has elapsed the indicator lamp for the grease filter touch control glows. The grease filters must then be cleaned.

After the grease filters have been cleaned and put back in place, the filter operating hours counter must be reset.

To do this, press the grease filter touch control and hold for about 4 seconds.

The indicator lamp will go out.

Reading the filter operating hours counter

To check the percentage of time set already used:

Switch the fan on.

Press the grease filter touch control.

One or several of the power level touch controls will flash.

The number of flashing lamps shows the percentage of the operating time which has already been used up.

1 lamp = 25% 2 lamps = 50% 3 lamps = 75% 4 lamps = 100%

The number of operating hours used remains in the memory, even when the appliance is switched off or there is a power cut.

Altering the filter operating hours counter

You can set the operating hours counter to suit the type of cooking you do.

– Select a short time if you roast or fry

a lot.

– If you use very little fat for cooking,

select a longer time.

– If you only cook occassionally, we

still recommend that you select a short time because grease which has built up gradually over a long period of time will harden on the grease filters and make cleaning more difficult.

Altering the grease filter operating hours

The operating hours counter for the grease filter is set at 30 hours. This can be lengthened or shortened. You can choose from 20, 30, 40 or 50 hours.

Pull down the vapour guide into the “fan position”.

Operation

Press the run-on and grease filter touch controls at the same time.

The indicator lamp for the grease filter touch control and one of the control lamps for the power level touch control will flash.

The power level touch control lamps show the time which has been set: 1st lamp from left = 20 hours 2nd lamp from left = 30 hours 3rd lamp from left = 40 hours 4th lamp from left = 50 hours

Use the power level touch control to select the desired time.

Confirm the procedure by pressing the grease filter touch control.

If the procedure is not confirmed within 4 minutes of programming the steps, the cooker hood will automatically revert to the "old" data.

Switch off the fan by pressing the left hand side of the power level touch control.

Operation

Power cut

If there is a power cut while the vapour guide is pulled down, the Automatic function is cancelled. Restore as follows:

Push the vapour guide right back in (until a resistance is felt).

Draw the vapour guide back down again until the desired power level position is reached.

Cleaning and care

Before any cleaning or maintenance work the cooker hood must be isolated from the power supply at the mains fuse box or the wall connection unit (as appropiate). See "Warning and Safety" instructions. Ensure current is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.

Housing

For stainless steel surfaces a mild nonabrasive proprietary stainless steel cleaner is suitable. Use a mild solution of washing up liquid and warm water to clean any painted surfaces. Rub dry with a soft cloth.

Never use a cleaner which scours or contains chlorine, acids or soda. These would damage the surface of the cooker hood.

Cleaning and care

To remove the upper grease filter push the filter hand hold to the back, and remove downwards.

To remove the lower grease filters take hold of each one by the filter hand hold and remove downwards.

Grease filters

Re-usable metal grease filters are fitted which remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc.) from the kitchen vapours, preventing soiling of the cooker hood. The grease filters should be cleaned regularly to avoid a build-up of fat, (approx. 3-4 weeks on average, but sooner if necessary). Always clean the filters immediately when the lamp for the grease filter touch control comes on.

An over-greasy filter is a fire hazard.

Cleaning and care

Clean the filters – by hand: with a scrubbing brush in a mild solution of warm water and washing up liquid. – in a dishwasher: place the filter with the short side upright in the lower basket, ensuring the spray arm is not obstructed.

Depending on the cleaning agent used, cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher can cause permanent discolouration of the surface of the filters. However, this will not affect the functioning of the grease filters in any way.

After cleaning, leave the filters to dry for a while on an absorbent surface before putting it 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.

After putting the grease filters back in place, press the grease filter touch control for approx. 4 seconds to reset the operating time counter.

Changing the compact light unit

Isolate the cooker hood from the power supply at the mains fuse box or the wall connection unit (as appropriate). See "Warning and Safety" instructions.

Cleaning and care

Unscrew and remove the securing screw on the lamp cover.

Take the lamp cover off downwards at an angle.

Carefully guide the compact light downards the front

Change the lamp (11W) and fit the new one.

Screw the lamp cover back in place.

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363 (UK)

If this machine or appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable plug, the following information applies:

If the socket outlets are not suitable for the plug supplied with this product, it must be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. The fuse carrier and the fuse should be removed from the old plug and disposed of. The plug cut from the flexible cord should then be disposed of, and on no account be inserted into any socket elsewhere in the house (electric shock hazard).

The fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.

The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug (as applicable to the design of plug fitted).

The correct fuse rating of the replacement fuses that are ASTA approved to BS 1362 should be fitted. Replacement fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical suppliers or Service agent.

Installation

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

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.

Dimensions for building-in

Installation

Building-in

Fix the support tracks on each interior side wall of the unit, using four 3.5 x 16 mm screws for each track. See the illustration for positioning.

The cooker hood must only be lifted by the main body, and not by the vapour guide.

Push the cooker hood into the wall unit from the front and hang on the support tracks.

for 16 mm thick unit sides only: Clip the spacer bars on to the left and right of the appliance.

Position the non-return unit in the vent socket so that the flaps can open upwards.

Screw in the allen bolts on both sides with an allen key.

To adjust the height turn the allen bolts clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Push the cooker hood into the correct position.

Use 3.5 x 16 mm screws to secure the cooker hood to the wall unit on both sides at the lower edge of the body.

Installation

19 mm thick unit sides:

16 mm thick unit sides:

Screw the cooker hood securely to the wall unit to the support tracks on each side with the 3.5 x 16 mm screws. Use washers with 16 mm unit sides.

Installation

Press the facia strips into their holders according to the thickness of the side walls. Observe the markings on the rear of the facia strips.

Depth alignment

Units deeper than 285 mm require the fitting of a spacer bar to prevent vapours collecting between the rear of the cooker hood and the wall.

Shorten the spacer bar to the appropriate length at the required breaking point.

Put the spacer bar on the guide rail which is fitted to the rear lower edge of the body.

Fit each grease filter with the hand hold to the rear.

Fit the door back on to the wall unit.

Installation - extraction

Connection for extraction

Danger of toxic fumes. Please heed the “Warning and Safety instructions” to avoid the danger of toxic fumes.

The cooker hood should be installed according to local building regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary.

– The extraction ducting should be as

short and straight as possible.

– To ensure efficient air extraction the

diameter of the exhaust ducting should not be less than 125 mm.

If exhaust ducting with a diameter of less than 125 mm or flat ducting were to be used, the noise level of the cooker hood would increase and extraction would be less efficient.

– When ducting is horizontal it must be

laid to slope away at 1 cm per metre, to ensure no condensate drains into the appliance.

– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into

the open air the installation of a telescopic wall vent is recommended.

Only reduce the diameter of the ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g. where narrower ducting has already been installed.

– Only use wide radius bends. Tight

bends reduce the air throughput of the cooker hood.

– Only use smooth pipes or flexible

hoses made from non-flammable materials for extraction connection.

– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into

a vent flue the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.

Important

If the exhaust ducting is to run through 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.

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.

When installing a condensate trap ensure that it is positioned vertically and if possible directly above the exhaust socket.
