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.

Page 7
Warning and Safety instructions
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).
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
Page 9
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.

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
Page 11
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
Page 12
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.

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.

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
Page 24

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”.
Examples for power levels 1 to B

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.
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.

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.
24
Page 25
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
Page 26
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
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.
- if the manually selected power level corresponds to the automatic one again, or
- 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
Page 27

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.
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 required by
touching a control from 1 to B.

Selecting the second Booster level

When you select the Booster level,
the Bsymbol lights up. To increase the power level further, touch B again.
The Bsymbol lights up.
The second Booster level is activated. The air throughput is increased for a short time.

Switching back the Booster levels

If Power management is activated (default setting), the first Booster level Bautomatically switches back to level3 after 5minutes.
The second Booster level B switches back after 2minutes (even if Power management is deactivated).
27
Page 28
Operation (manual mode)

Selecting the run-on time

It is advisable to run the fan for a few minutes after cooking has finished. This helps to remove any lingering vapours and odours from 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 you have finished cooking,
touch the run-on control with the fan still switched on:
- 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).

Switching the fan off

Touching the control for the active
power level again switches the fan off.
Also, when you slide in the vapor
screen, the blower turns off.

Dimming/Switching the cooktop lighting on/off

You can switch the cooktop lighting
on by pulling the deflector plate out and off by pushing it in.
When the deflector plate is pulled
out, you can switch the cooktop lighting on and off with the lighting control .
The lighting will switch on at maximum brightness. All 3 bars next to the lighting control light up.
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.
Alternatively, you can select 3
brightness levels by touching the bars next to the lighting control.

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.

Cleaning and care

Grease filters

Fire hazard!
Oversaturated grease filters are a fire hazard.
Clean the grease filters at regular intervals.
The re-usable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen vapours, preventing soiling of the rangehood.
The grease filters must be cleaned at regular intervals.
Heavily soiled grease filters hinder 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 filters should therefore be cleaned every 3 to 4 weeks.
The operating hours control reminds you to regularly clean the grease filters by illuminating the grease filter symbol .

Removing the grease filter

When handling the grease filter,
be careful not to drop it. This can result in damage to the filter
and the cooktop below. Make sure you hold the filter securely
at all times when handling it.
Remove the grease filters from the
slots on the front of the housing.

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water and a small amount of washing-up liquid. Do not use undiluted washing up liquid.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause damage to the surface of the filters if used regularly. Do not use:
- cleaning agents containing descaling agents,
34
- powder cleaners or cream cleaners,
- aggressive all-purpose cleaning agents or spray cleaners for grease,
- oven sprays.
Page 35
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher

Place the grease filters upright or
slightly inclined in the lower basket. Ensure the spray arm is not obstructed.
Use a standard household
dishwasher detergent.
Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50°C and 65°C.
Depending on the detergent used, cleaning the filters in the dishwasher may cause the inside filter surfaces to become discoloured. This will not affect the functioning of the grease filters in any way.

After cleaning

After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before refitting them.

Change grease filters

Regular use and cleaning can cause the filter surfaces to wear.
If you notice any damage, replace the grease filters.
You can obtain grease filters from Miele customer service (see end of these operating instructions) or from your Miele specialist dealer.
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.
Refit the grease filters.

Resetting the grease filter operating hours counter

After cleaning, the operating hours counter needs to be reset.
While the fan is switched on, press
the grease filter control for approx. 3seconds until only 1 is flashing.
The grease filter symbol goes out.

NoSmell active charcoal filters

With recirculation mode, two charcoal filters must be fitted in addition to the grease filters. These are designed to absorb cooking odours.
Charcoal filters are available to order via the Miele online shop (see the end of this booklet for contact details) or directly from Miele.
The part number of the charcoal filter required is listed under “Technical data”.

Fitting/Replacing the charcoal filters

The slots for the charcoal filters are located above the grease filters.
The operating hours counter will remind you to replace the charcoal filters by lighting up the charcoal filter symbol .

Resetting the charcoal filter operating hours counter

After changing the charcoal filters, the operating hours counter needs to be reset.
Touch the charcoal filter control for
approx. 3 seconds with the rangehood switched on until only the indicator light for level 1 is flashing.
The charcoal filter symbol goes out.

Disposing of the charcoal filters

Used charcoal filters can be disposed
of with the normal household waste.
Take the lid off. It is held in place by
magnets.
Take the charcoal filters out of their
packaging.
Insert the charcoal filters in the slots
as far as they will go.

Installation

Adjusting the vapour shield

When retracted, the deflector plate is held in place by magnets. The retaining force of the magnets can be adjusted. The magnets should be adjusted such that the deflector plate is held in place securely on the left and right hand side and can be lowered slightly. An angled key is supplied for adjusting the magnets.
Adjust both sides equally. Turn in
stages by a half turn each time and
check the adjustment by lowering and raising the deflector plate.
- Turning the adjusting screws clockwise increases the magnetic retaining force.
- Turning the adjusting screws anti­clockwise reduces the magnetic retaining force.

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:
- 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.
44
- Only use wide radius bends.
- The exhaust ducting must not be kinked or compressed.
- All connections must be strong and airtight.
Page 45
*INSTALLATION*
Installation
- 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.

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.
45
Page 46
*INSTALLATION*
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.

Silencer

To achieve even further reductions in noise levels, a special silencer (optional accessory) can be fitted in the ducting system.
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.
46
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 .
Page 47
*INSTALLATION*
In recirculation mode the silencer needs to be positioned between the exhaust connection and the exhaust grille. Please ensure there is adequate installation space.
Installation
For safety reasons, we recommend using a suitable residual current device (RCD) in the relevant electrical installation for connecting the rangehood.
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.

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.
The data plate indicates the nominal power consumption and the connection data. Compare this information with the 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.
