Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician.
A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check it for visible signs
of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks, back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that the energy supply system complies with all current local and national requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery systems. The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele product must also be assured in their function and operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the rangehood must match the mains electricity supply in order to avoid the risk of damage to the rangehood. Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains electricity. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. Extension leads are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
This rangehood must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
6
Warning and Safety instructions
Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults. Only open the housing as described in the instructions given in the installation sheet and in the “Cleaning and care” section of this booklet. Under no circumstances should any other parts of the housing be opened.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele authorised service technician.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician or suitably qualified and competent electrician in order to avoid a hazard.
The lamps are a built-in component of the lighting. Replacement
lamps may only be installed by a Miele authorised technician.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
- the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or
- it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions

Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room

Danger of toxic fumes! Great care should be taken when using the rangehood in the same room or the same area of the house as another heating appliance that depends on the air from the room. Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. They include gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops and ovens.
The rangehood draws in air from the kitchen and from neighbouring rooms. This applies to the following modes of operation:
- extraction mode
- recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the room.
If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion. Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room. This could have potentially fatal consequences. Risk of death!
8
Warning and Safety instructions
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by a heating appliance from being drawn back into the room, when the rangehood and the heater are both operated simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04mbar (4Pa) is the maximum permissible.
Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. The diameter of the inlet openings must enable sufficient ventilation. A ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to ensure safe ventilation.
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 qualified gas fitter (registered with an official gas safety body in accordance with national safety regulations) must be sought.
If the rangehood is being operated in recirculation mode, whereby the air is redirected into the room in which it is installed, the above restrictions do not apply.
9
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Open flames are a fire hazard!
Never use an open flame under the rangehood. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on, the rangehood could draw flames into the filter. Kitchen grease deposits could ignite.
The rangehood can become damaged when exposed to excessive
heat.
- When using the rangehood over a gas cooktop, ensure that any burners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the cooking zone off when a pan is removed, even for a short time.
- Select a pan which is suitable for the size of the burner.
- Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the pan.
- Avoid overheating the pan (e.g. when cooking with a wok).
Always switch the rangehood on when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in the rangehood, which could cause corrosion.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
rangehood. When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc., do not leave the pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an open grill unattended when grilling.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use the rangehood without the filters in place. This way
you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance and hindering its smooth operation.
The rangehood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising
from the cooktop. Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the rangehood has cooled down.

Correct installation

To determine whether a rangehood may be operated above your
cooking appliance, please refer to the information provided by the appliance’s manufacturer.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solid
fuel stoves.
An insufficient safety distance between the stovetop and the
rangehood can result in damage to the rangehood. The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop and the bottom of the rangehood given in the “Installation” section of these instructions must be observed, unless the cooktop manufacturer states that a greater safety distance is required. If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the rangehood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the rangehood, select the greater distance.
The information provided in “Installation” must be observed when
installing the rangehood.
There may be a risk of injury due to protruding parts and sharp
edges. Wear gloves that offer protection against cuts during assembly.
All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable
material and comply with all relevant national and local building regulations.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in current use for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. 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, seek professional advice.

Cleaning and care

There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out as described in
these operating instructions.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Accessories and spare parts

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of your appliance.
12

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. 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.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Before using for the first time

Setting up Con@ctivity

Con@ctivity is the direct communication system between an electric Miele cooktop and a Miele rangehood. It enables the rangehood to operate automatically depending on the operational state of a Miele cooktop with onset controls.
- When the cooktop is switched on, the cooktop lighting on the rangehood comes on independently and, after a short time, the fan also switches on.
- The rangehood selects the power level automatically during cooking. The power level selected by the rangehood depends on the number of cooking zones being used and their power levels.
- After switching the cooktop off, the fan and the cooktop lighting will switch off automatically after a specified period of time.
See “Operation” for detailed information about this function.
21
Before using for the first time

Con@ctivity via the home Wi-Fi network (Con@ctivity 3.0)

Prerequisites:
- Home Wi-Fi network
- Wi-Fi enabled Miele cooktop
Connect the rangehood and cooktop
to your home Wi-Fi network (see "Setting up Miele@home").
The Con@ctivity function will be activated automatically.

Con@ctivity via a direct Wi-Fi connection (Con@ctivity 3.0)

Prerequisite:
- Wi-Fi enabled Miele cooktop
If you do not have a home network, you can establish a direct connection between the cooktop and the rangehood.
Manually switch the rangehood off.
Press and hold the control.
Press the control at the same time.
2 will light up constantly, 3 will flash on and off.
The rangehood is ready for connection during the next twominutes.

cooktop. For further details, see the cooktop operating instructions.
When successfully connected 2 and 3 will light up constantly.
Quit connection mode on the
rangehood by pressing the run-on control.
Con@ctivity has now been activated.
With a direct Wi-Fi connection, it is not possible to connect the cooktop and the rangehood to a home network. Should this be required at a later date, the direct Wi-Fi connection between the cooktop and the rangehood must be disconnected first (see "Signing out of Wi-Fi").
Before using for the first time

Reattempting the connection

If it is not possible to connect, 2 and 3 flash or the rangehood cancels the process.
Disconnect the connection to the
rangehood (see “Signing out of Wi­Fi”) and to the cooktop.
Attempt to make the connection
again.
23

Operation (automatic mode)

When Con@ctivity is active, the rangehood always operates in automatic mode (see “Before using for the first time – Setting up Con@ctivity”).
If you wish to manually operate the rangehood, see “Operation (manual mode) – Cooking without Con@ctivity”.

Cooking with Con@ctivity (automatic mode)

Switch on a cooking zone at any
power level.
The rangehood lighting will come on. Pull out the deflector plate. The fan will come on at power level 2. The rangehood selects the power level
automatically during cooking. This is determined by the total output of
the cooktop, i.e. the number of cooking zones in operation and the power levels selected.
Examples for power levels 1 to B

Reaction time

The rangehood reacts with a slight delay because altering the power level on the cooktop does not immediately result in a reduction or increase in cooking vapours.
Because the cooktop transmits the information to the rangehood at intervals, this can also cause delays.
The reaction can vary from a few seconds to a few minutes.
If you select a higher power level on
the cooktop or are using several cooking zones, the rangehood will switch to a higher power level.
When you reduce the power level on
the cooktop or the number of cooking zones being used, the rangehood power level will also be reduced.
24
Operation (automatic mode)

Cooking process

For example, you switch on a cooking
zone at the highest power level to heat a pan for frying. After approx. 10seconds to 4minutes, you then reduce the power level (60seconds to 5minutes for a radiant cooktop).
The rangehood recognises a cooking process.
The rangehood switches itself on and when the cooktop power level has been reduced, the rangehood switches to power level 3 and remains at that level for approx. 5 minutes.
After that the rangehood power level is determined automatically by the Con@ctivity function.
You can select another power level manually before then.

Switching off

Switch off all cooking zones.
The rangehood fan will reduce its power level in stages over the next few minutes and will then switch itself off.
This helps to neutralise any lingering vapours and odours in the air.
- From the Booster setting, the fan switches immediately to level3.
- From level 3, it will switch to level 2 after approx. 1minute.
- From level 2, it will switch to level 1 after 2minutes.
- After 2minutes at Level 1, the fan switches itself off.
- After another 30 seconds, the cooktop lighting switches off.
The cooking process is then finished. If the deflector plate remains pulled out,
the rangehood will be switched on automatically the next time the cooktop is switched on: The fan switches on a few seconds after the cooktop switches on, initially at level
2, before immediately changing to level
1. Operation then continues
automatically.
25
Operation (automatic mode)

Leaving automatic mode temporarily

To leave automatic mode temporarily during cooking:
Manually select a different power
level, or
Manually switch the rangehood off, orActivate the run-on function on
the rangehood. The fan will switch itself off after the selected run-on time, and the lighting will remain on.
The rangehood functions are now operated manually (see “Operation (manual mode)”).

Returning to automatic mode

The rangehood returns to automatic mode:
- if the rangehood has not been used for approx. 5 minutes after selecting a power level manually, or
- if the manually selected power level corresponds to the automatic one again, or
You can also operate the rangehood manually for a complete cooking process.
To do so switch the rangehood fan on
before the cooktop.
If the rangehood fan and the cooktop have been switched off for at least 30 seconds after cooking, automatic mode will resume next time the cooktop is switched on.
- the rangehood fan and the cooktop have been switched off for at least 30 seconds. Automatic mode will resume next time the cooktop is switched on.
26

Operation (manual mode)

Cooking without Con@ctivity (manual mode)

The rangehood can be operated manually if:
- the Con@ctivity function is not activated.
- You have temporarily deactivated the Con@ctivity function (see “Operation (manual operation) – Leaving automatic mode temporarily”).

Switching the fan on

Switch the fan on as soon as you start cooking. This is to ensure that vapours are captured right from the start.
Pull out the deflector plate. To ensure
optimum extraction and a low noise level, pull the canopy all the way out.
The fan will switch on at power level 2.

Selecting a power level

For light to heavy cooking vapours and odours, select from power levels 1 to 3.

Reducing power down from the Booster setting

If Power management is activated (default setting), the fan automatically switches back to level 3 after 5minutes.

Selecting the run-on time

It is advisable to run the fan for a few minutes after cooking has finished. This helps to neutralise any lingering vapours and odours in the air.
It also reduces the risk of residues accumulating in the rangehood and any resultant odours.
The run-on function allows the fan to continue to run for a pre-determined time before switching itself off automatically.
After cooking has finished, press the
run-on control while the fan is still running:
- Once: the fan will switch itself off
after 5minutes (5 lights up).
- Twice: the fan will switch itself off
after 15minutes (15 lights up).
- If you touch the run-on control
again, the fan will remain switched on ( will go out).
For short periods of cooking food with intensive vapours and a strong aroma, e.g. when searing meat, select Booster settingB.
Select the power level you want by
pressing the or controls.
27
Operation (manual mode)

Switching the fan off

Push in the deflector plate.
The next time the deflector plate is pulled out, the fan will operate at power level 2 again.
Or switch the fan off with the On/Off
control.
The symbol will go out.

Dimming/Switching the cooktop lighting on/off

You can switch the cooktop lighting
on and off by pulling the deflector plate out and pushing it in or by pressing the lighting control .
The lighting will switch on at maximum brightness.
To change the brightness, press and
hold the lighting control with the lighting switched on. The brightness will gradually dim until you release the control.
To increase the brightness, press and
hold the lighting control again until the desired level has been reached and then release it.

Power management

The rangehood is fitted with a Power management system. The Power management system is designed to help save energy. It ensures that the fan power level is reduced automatically and that the lighting is switched off.
- If the Booster setting has been selected, the fan will automatically switch to setting 3 after 5minutes.
- From fan power levels 3, 2 and 1, the power will be reduced by one level after 2hours and then in 30-minute stages until the fan finally switches off.
- The cooktop lighting will switch off automatically after 12hours.

Safety switch-off

If Power management has been deactivated, the rangehood will switch itself off automatically after 12hours if it has been left on (fan and cooktop lighting).
To switch it back on press the On/
Off control or the lighting control.
28

Energy saving tips

This rangehood operates very efficiently and economically. The following will help you to save even more energy when using it:
- Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the kitchen when cooking. In extraction mode, if there is insufficient air flow the rangehood cannot operate efficiently and this causes increased operating noise levels.
- Always cook with the lowest possible setting. This produces fewer cooking vapours, so you can use a lower rangehood power level and therefore benefit from reduced energy consumption.
- Clean or change the filters at regular intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce performance, increase the risk of fire and are unhygienic.
- Use the Con@ctivity function. The rangehood will switch on and off automatically. The rangehood will select the optimum power level for the cooking you are doing, which ensures low energy consumption.
- If you are operating the rangehood manually, please note the following:
– Check the power level selected on
the rangehood. A low power level is usually sufficient. Only use the Booster setting when necessary.
– When a large volume of cooking
vapours are being produced, switch to a high power level in good time. This is more efficient than operating the rangehood for longer to try to capture cooking vapours which have already been distributed throughout the kitchen.
– Make sure that you switch the
rangehood off after use. If cooking vapours and odours still need to be removed from the kitchen air after cooking, use the run-on function. The fan will switch off automatically after the selected run-on time.

Housing

General information

Unsuitable cleaning agents can damage the surfaces and control elements.
Do not use any cleaning agents containing soda, acid, chloride, or solvent.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners or cream cleaners and abrasive sponges, or pot scourers or sponges which have been used previously with abrasive cleaning agents.
Moisture in the rangehood can
cause damage. Make sure that water does not get
into the rangehood.
Clean all surfaces and control
elements using a small amount of warm water and dishwashing liquid. Apply with a soft sponge.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.

Important information for appliances with stainless steel surfaces

This information does not apply to the control elements.
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel.
To prevent the surfaces from quickly becoming dirty again, we recommend treating them with a stainless steel care product (available from Miele).

Important for appliances with lacquered casing

Minor scratches on the surface are inevitable when cleaning the casing; they may be visible depending on the lighting in the kitchen.

Important information for the control elements

If soiling is not removed promptly, it could cause the control elements to alter or discolor.
Remove any soiling immediately.
The surface of the control elements can be damaged if they are cleaned using stainless steel cleaning agents.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the control elements.
32
Cleaning and care

Operating hours counter

The rangehood registers the length of time it has been operated.
When the grease filter symbol or the charcoal filter symbol lights up, the operating hours counters are signalling that the filters need to be cleaned or replaced.
You can set the operating hours counter to suit the type of cooking you do (see “Changing settings”).

Reading the filter operating hours counter

You can check the percentage of time set already used before the filters need replacing.
Switch the fan on with the On/Off
touch control.
Press and hold the operating hours
control :
- Once, to read the grease filter operating hours. The grease filter symbol lights up.
- Twice, to read the charcoal filter operating hours. The charcoal filter symbol lights up.
One or more of the fan power level indicators will flash.
The number of flashing indicators shows the percentage of the operating time which has already been used up.
The number of operating hours used remains in the memory even when the appliance is switched off or there is a power cut.

Grease filter

Fire hazard!
An oversaturated grease filter is a fire hazard.
Clean the grease filter at regular intervals.
The re-usable metal grease filter in the appliance removes solid particles from the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc.), preventing soiling of the rangehood.
The grease filter must be cleaned at regular intervals.
A heavily soiled grease filter hinders air extraction and will lead to increased levels of soiling in the rangehood and in the kitchen.

Grease filter cleaning intervals

Accumulated grease solidifies over a longer period of time and makes cleaning more difficult. The grease filter should therefore be cleaned at least every 3 to 4 weeks.
The operating hours control reminds you to regularly clean the grease filters by illuminating the grease filter symbol.

Installation

Connection for air extraction

Before installation, it is important
to read the information given on the following pages as well as the “Appliance dimensions” and the “Warning and Safety instructions” at the beginning of this booklet. This is particularly crucial when using the rangehood at the same time as a heating appliance that relies on oxygen from the same room, which could result in the build-up of toxic fumes.
The rangehood should be installed according to local and national building regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible ducting made from approved non­flammable materials for exhaust ducting.
To achieve the most efficient air extraction with the lowest noise levels, please note the following:
- If the ducting has flaps, these must be opened when the rangehood is switched on.
Any constriction of the airflow will reduce extraction performance and increase operating noise.

Vent flue

If the exhaust air is to be ducted into a vent flue, the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.
If the flue is used by several ventilation units, the cross-section of the flue must be large enough.
- The diameter of the exhaust ducting must not be smaller than the cross­section of the exhaust connection (see "Appliance dimensions"). This is particularly applicable when using flat ducting.
- The exhaust ducting must be as short and straight as possible.
- Only use wide radius bends.
- The exhaust ducting must not be kinked or compressed.
- All connections must be strong and airtight.
46
*INSTALLATION*

Non-return flap

Make sure you use a non-return flap
in the exhaust air system.
A non-return flap ensures that when the rangehood is not in operation, the duct is closed and no exchange of room and outside air can take place.
If the exhaust air is ducted through an outside wall, a Miele wall vent or a Miele roof vent (available as an optional accessory) is recommended. These are fitted with an integrated non-return flap.
If the on-site exhaust air system does not have a non-return flap, one is supplied with the rangehood.
The non-return flap is fitted to the fan's exhaust connection.

Condensed water

If the exhaust ducting is to run through rooms, ceiling space etc., condensate may form in the ducting due to variations in temperature between the different areas. To minimise temperature variations, the exhaust ducting will need to be suitably insulated.
Where ducting is horizontal, it must be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm per metre. The gradient ensures that condensate cannot drain back into the rangehood.
Installation
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.
Condensate traps are available for 125mm or 150mm ducting.
When installing a condensate trap, ensure that it is positioned vertically and, if possible, directly above the exhaust socket. The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of airflow.
Miele will not accept warranty claims for any functional defects or damage caused by inadequate ducting.
47
*INSTALLATION*
Installation

Silencer

To achieve even further reductions in noise levels, a special silencer (optional accessory) can be fitted in the ducting system.
In recirculation mode the silencer needs to be positioned between the exhaust connection and the exhaust grille. Please ensure there is adequate installation space.
In extraction mode the silencer not only reduces noise from the fan outside the house, but also sounds from outside which reach the kitchen via the vent ducting (e.g. traffic noise). For this reason, the silencer must be positioned as close as possible to the ducting exit .
48
*INSTALLATION*
Installation

Electrical connection

The rangehood is supplied with a mains connection cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a suitable earthed socket.
If the socket is not easily accessible or if the appliance is to be hard-wired, ensure that a suitable means of disconnection is provided on the installation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the rangehood to multi­socket adapters or extension cables can overload the cables.
For safety reasons, do not use an extension cable or multi-socket adapter.
All electrical work must be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations.
For safety reasons, we recommend using a suitable residual current device (RCD) in the relevant electrical installation for connecting the rangehood.
data of the on-site electrical connection. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks, back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that the energy supply system complies with all current local and national requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery systems. The protective measures provided in the domestic installation and in this Miele product must also be assured in their function and operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type (available from Miele). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent electrician or a Miele authorised service technician, in order to avoid a hazard.
