Use
,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units
~
unattended at high settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers
may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
b) Always turn the ventilation system
~

EVENT OF A COOKTOP
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close
~
fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray
then turn off the burner.
BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS.
If the flames do not go out immediately,
EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING
~
PAN - You may be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including
~
wet dishcloths or towels - a violent
steam explosion will result.

1) You have a class ABC
extinguisher, and you know how to
operate it.
*
:
Do not allow children to play with or
~
operate the appliance or its controls.
Supervise its use by the elderly or
infirm.
Never operate gas burners without
~
cookware. Turn the burner off when not
in use. Adjust the burner so that the
flames do not extend beyond the
cookware. Do not overheat the
cookware, e.g. when using a wok. The
ventilation system can be damaged
due to excessive heat from the burners
and the cookware.

fuel.
h) Provided a larger distance is not
~
given by the manufacturer of the
cooktop, follow the minimum safety
distances between a cooktop and the
ventilation system given in the
"Appliance dimensions" section of this
manual.
If local building codes require a greater
safety distance, follow their
requirement.
i) Never connect a ventilation
~
system to an active chimney, dryer
vent, vent flue, or room ventilating
ductwork.
j) Seek professional advice before
~
connecting an exhaust vent to an
existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.

Functional description
The ventilation system offers two installation options:
with the internal DAG 500
exhaust blower
(not included)
The air is drawn through and cleaned
by the grease filters and then directed
outside.
with the DAG 1000 external
blower
(not included)
The air is drawn through and cleaned
by the grease filters and then directed
outside.
The external blower is designed to be
installed in a different location than the
ventilation system.
The external blower is connected to the
ventilation system by a control cable,
and exhaust ductwork and is operated
via the ventilation system's control
panel.

Operation
Temperature warning §
The ventilation system can become
very hot during operation. It can
cause burns, particularly when
cooking with gas.
The ventilation system is equipped
with a temperature sensor.
The warning light § above the
control panel will flash when the
temperature of the housing exceeds
113 °F (45°C).
When this happens, do not touch the
housing or the grease filters (e.g. to
clean).
The ventilation system can still be
used.
Please note:
Turn off the appliance immediately if
a pot boils over and liquid flows over
the burner towards the ventilation
system. The liquid could damage
the ventilation system.
– Turn off the ventilation system
by pressing the 0/1 button.
– Disconnect the ventilation
system from the power supply,
see "Important Safety
Instructions".
– Leave the ventilation system off
for an extended period of time
so that any liquid that may have
entered can evaporate.
Do not open the housing to remove
the liquid.
11
Cleaning and Care
Before cleaning or servicing the
ventilation system, disconnect it
from the power supply, see
"Important Safety Instructions".
Cleaning the casing
Never use abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic
(oven) cleaners on the ventilation
system. They will damage the
surface.
^ All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned with a mild solution of
warm water and liquid dish soap
applied with a soft sponge.
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate the electronics and cause
damage.
Avoid:
cleaning agents containing lye, acids
–
or chlorides,
abrasive cleaning agents,
–
e.g. powder or cream cleansers,
abrasive sponges, i.e. pot scourers
–
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.
These will damage the surface.
The following instructions for cleaning
"Stainless steel" surfaces should be
followed in addition to the general
"Cleaning the casing" instructions.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner
for stainless steel can be applied.
Cleaners are available from Miele.
