isolated from the electricity supply

when:

it is switched off at the wall socket

–

and the plug removed (do not pull on
the cable, only on the plug), or

the fuse from the fused spur connec

–

tion unit is withdrawn, or
the mains fuse is withdrawn, or

–

the screw-out fuse is removed in

–

countries where this is applicable.

Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or re-

pair 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).

Use

Do not let small children play with

the appliance or its controls or op
erate it. Supervise its use by the elderly
or infirm.

Never use an open flame beneath

the cooker hood. To avoid the dan
ger of fire, do not flambé or grill under
the cooker hood. When switched on,
the cooker hood could draw flames into
the filter. Fat particles drawn into the
cooker hood present a fire hazard.

When using the cooker hood over

a gas hob ensure that any burners
in use are always covered by a pan,
otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the cooker hood, parts of

which could then be damaged.

Always switch the cooker hood on

when using the hob, 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. Never
leave an open grill unattended when
grilling.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the cooker hood on fire.

Do not use the cooker hood without

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.

The filters should be regularly

cleaned, or changed, as appropri­ate.
Saturated filters are a fire hazard (see
"Cleaning and care").

Under no circumstances use a

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

In countries where there are areas

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

Warning and Safety instructions

Installation

The minimum safety distance be

tween the top of the cooker / hob
and the bottom of the cooker hood
should be at least:

550 mm above electric hobs and

–

cookers,
650 mm above gas hobs and cookers,

–

650 mm above an open grill from our

–

range

For non-Miele cooking appliances
maintain the safety distance as recom
mended by the manufacturer in their In­stallation and Operating instructions. If
more than one appliance is fitted be­neath the cooker hood and they have
different minimum safety distances to
the cooker hood, select the greater dis­tance.

Safety regulations prohibit the fit-

ting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.

All ducting, pipework and fittings

must be of non-flammable material.
These can be obtained from the Miele
Spare Parts department or from build
ers’ 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, seek
professional advice.

6

-

Warning and Safety instructions

When using the cooker hood at the

same time as another heating ap
pliance 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), spe
cial care must be taken as the action of
the cooker hood extracts air from the
room, which these type of heaters need
for combustion.

They could also draw exhaust air back
in from chimneys or ducting in contra
vention of fire safety regulations.

In order to ensure safe operation, and
to prevent 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 appli
ance is switched off or vice-versa.

Appliances with external fans

For appliances with an external fan

motor fitted (EXT models) the con
nection of the two units must be made
using the connection cable and the

­plug connectors.

Make sure the correct combination of
the two appliances has been selected.
Separate instructions are supplied with
the external fan.

Disposal of your old appliance

Before throwing an old appliance

away it must first be made unus
able. Ensure that disconnection from
the mains supply is carried out by a
competent person and that the cable is
also removed from the appliance to
prevent misuse.

The manufacturer cannot be held lia­ble for damage caused by non-com
pliance with these Warning and
Safety instructions.

-

-

-

N.B: The overall ventilation condition of

Brief description

The cooker hood works with

. . . air extraction:

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

The cooker hood is fitted with a non-re
turn flap. This flap is closed when the
cooker hood is switched off. No ex
change of room air and outside air can
take place. When the cooker hood is
switched on, the non-return flap opens
for the cooking vapours to be blown di
rectly outside.

-

. . . an external fan:

The EXT models are designed to be
connected to an external fan located
outside the room.

The external fan is connected to the
cooker hood by means of a control ca­ble and is operated by the controls on
the cooker hood.

13

Operation

Altering the filter operating hours
counter

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

Select a short time if you roast or fry

–

a lot.
If you use very little fat for cooking,

–

select a longer time.
If, however, you only cook occasion

–

ally we 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.

Use the On/Off touch control to

^

switch the fan off.

Press the run-on option touch control

^

and the grease filter touch control at
the same time.

The indicator lamp for the grease filter
touch control and one of the – /+ touch

^ Use the – /+ touch controls to select

the desired time.

14

^

Confirm the selection by pressing the
grease filter touch control.

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

-

Before any cleaning or maintenance
work, disconnect the cooker hood
from the mains supply. Ensure that:
– it is switched off at the fused spur
connection unit, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed, (in
countries where this is applicable).

Housing

Warning: The surfaces and controls
are susceptible to scratches and
abrasion. Please observe the follow
ing cleaning instructions.

^ All external surfaces and controls can

be cleaned using warm water with a
little washing up liquid applied with a
well wrung out soft sponge or cloth.

^ Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.

Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate into the electronics and
cause damage.

^

Glass surfaces can be cleaned using

a proprietary cleaning agent for glass.
Avoid:
–

cleaning agents containing soda, ac
ids or chlorides,

–

abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow
der cleaners or cream cleaners, and
abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been previ
ously used with abrasive cleaning
agents.
These will damage the surface mate
rial.

-

-

Cleaning and care

Stainless steel surfaces

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a proprietary non-abrasive clean
ing agent designed specifically for use
on stainless steel.

To help prevent re-soiling, proprietary
conditioning agents for stainless steel
can also be used.
Apply sparingly with an even pressure.

E-Cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
Part number 98013530, which is suit­able for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome without the use of chemicals.

Stainless steel coloured controls

These controls may suffer discolour­ation or damage if soiling is left on
them for too long.
Remove any soiling straight away.

Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the controls.

If you are unsure about a particular
product or need further advice

Cleaning and care

Grease filters

Re-usable metal 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 (at least every 3-4 weeks) to
avoid a build-up of fat but always clean
them as soon as the grease filter touch
control lamp comes on.

An over saturated filter is a fire haz­ard.

Clean the filters

^

– by hand: with a nylon brush, warm
water with a little washing up liquid.
– in a dishwasher: place the filters
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 to the surface.
However, this will not affect the func
tioning of the grease filters in any
way.

^ After cleaning, leave the filters to dry

on an absorbent surface before putt­ing them back in place.

^ When removing the filters for clean-

ing also clean off any residues of oil
or fat from the now accessible hous­ing to prevent the risk of these catch­ing fire.

-

^

To remove the grease filters pull the

quick-release catches.

^

Carefully remove the filters in a down

wards direction.

16

^

After replacing the grease filters,
press the grease filter touch control
for approx. 3 seconds to re-set the
operating hours counter.
The indicator lamp will go out.

^

If the grease filter is cleaned before
the operating hours counter has
reached its maximum, the grease fil
ter touch control should be pressed

­for approx. 6 seconds to reset the

counter to zero.

-

Changing a halogen lamp

Disconnect the cooker hood from
the mains supply. Ensure that:
– it is switched off at the fused spur
connection unit, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).

Exercise caution when changing
halogen lamps. They get very hot
during use and remain hot for some
time after being switched off.
Do not touch the surface directly
when changing a lamp as grease
particles from your fingers will ad­here to the surface and damage it.
Please follow manufacturer’s instruc­tions.

Cleaning and care

To change the halogen lamp first re

^

move the outer ring a.

^ Then detach the circlip b taking care

that the glass c does not fall out.

^ The halogen lamp d is fitted to a

push-in connection socket. To re­place, pull out the old lamp and fit a
new one.

-

^ Replace the cover c and press the

circlip b carefully into the holder.

the mains electricity supply, read the
safety notes in "Warning and Safety
instructions" and in the "Electrical
connection" section.

Before using the appliance for the

^

first time, take the grease filters out
and remove the protective foil from
the filter frame. Then replace the
grease filters.

^ Finally, push the cover plate upwards

until the spring fixing clips click in se
curely and the frame lies tightly
against the ceiling.

All electrical work should be under
taken by a suitably qualified and
competent person in strict accor
dance with national and local safety
regulations.
Installation, repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer can
not be held responsible for un
authorised work.
Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance while installation or repair
work is being carried out.

U.K., IRL, NZ, ZA: The cooker hood is
supplied for connection to an a.c.
230 V single phase 50 Hz supply.

AUS: The cooker hood is supplied for
connection to an a.c. single phase
240 V, 50 Hz supply.

The voltage, rated load and fusing are
given on the data plate. This is visible
when the grease filters have been re­moved. Ensure that these match the
household mains supply.

Electrical connection

For extra safety it is advisable to install a

-

residual current device (RCD) with a trip
current of 30 mA (in accordance with
DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100 Section 739).

Important UK

The wires in the mains lead are col
oured in accordance with the following
code:

Green/yellow = earth
Blue = neutral
Brown = live

WARNING:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED

-

For U.K.: Connection should be made
by a double pole fused spur connection
unit. The On-Off switch should be easily
accessible after the appliance has
been built in.

When switched off there must be an
all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the
switch (including switch, fuses and re
lays according to EN 60 335).

If the socket is not accessible after in
stallation (depending on country) an
additional means of disconnection must
be provided for all poles.

Connection for air extraction

Danger of toxic fumes.

Please heed the "Warning and
Safety instructions" to avoid the dan
ger of toxic fumes.

The cooker hood should be installed
according to local building regula
tions. Seek approval from the build
ing inspector where necessary.

All ducting, pipework and fittings

–

must be of non-flammable material.

– 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 150 mm.

If exhaust ducting with a diameter of
less than 150 mm or flat ducting
were to be used, the noise level of
the cooker hood would increase and
extraction would be less efficient.

-

-

-

Where ducting is horizontal it must

–

be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm
per metre.

This is to ensure that condensate
cannot drain back into the cooker
hood.

If the exhaust air is to be ducted into

–

the open air, the installation of a tele
scopic 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 ma
terials for extraction connection.

26

–

If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a vent flue, the ducting must be di
rected 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 prob
lem of sweating or condensation will
need to be addressed. The exhaust
ducting will need to be suitably insu
lated.

Condensate trap

In addition to insulating the exhaust
ducting we recommend that a suitable
condensate trap is also installed to col
lect 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 connection.
