Warning and Safety instructions
This cooker hood complies with all relevant local and national safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and material damage.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before using the cooker hood. They contain important information on its safety, installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the cooker hood.
In accordance with standard IEC 60335-1, Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the chapter on installing the appliance as well as the safety instructions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by noncompliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.
Correct application
This cooker hood is intended for use in domestic households and similar working and residential environments.
The cooker hood is not intended for outdoor use.
It must only be used as a domestic appliance to extract vapours and remove odours from cooking.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
Where a recirculation cooker hood is fitted above a gas hob, please ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air into the room in which it is installed. Please seek the advice of a qualified gas fitter (e.g. GasSafe in the UK) for more information if necessary.
3
Warning and Safety instructions
The cooker hood can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the cooker hood unless they are constantly supervised.
Children aged 8 and older may only use the cooker hood without supervision if they have been shown how to use it and are able to do so in a safe manner. Children must be able to understand and recognise the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the cooker hood unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the cooker hood and do not let them play with it.
The hob lighting is very intensive.
Ensure, in particular, that babies/small children do not look at the light.
Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children may become entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.

Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised 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 correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of this cooker hood can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of the cooker hood must match the mains electricity supply in order to avoid the risk of damage to the cooker hood
Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These 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.
The cooker hood must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
Touching electrical components and tampering with electrical 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.
5
Warning and Safety instructions
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions
Using at the same time as another heating appliance that depends on the air
from the room
Danger of toxic fumes!
Great care should be taken when using the cooker hood in the same room or the same area of the house at the same time 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 to the open air through a chimney or extraction ducting. They include gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas hobs and ovens.
The cooker hood 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.
Risk of death!
7
Warning and Safety instructions
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by the heating appliance from being drawn back into the room, when the cooker hood 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 cross-section 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 should be sought.
If the cooker hood 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.
The use of an open flame under the cooker hood is not permitted. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter. Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
The cooker hood can become damaged when exposed to excessive heat.
-When using the cooker hood over a gas hob, 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 cooker hood on when a cooking zone is in use, otherwise condensation may collect in the hood, which could cause corrosion.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the cooker hood.
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.
Do not use the cooker hood 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.
There is a risk of fire if the cooker hood is not cleaned as described in these operating instructions.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
The cooker hood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising from the hob.
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the cooker hood has cooled down.
This cooker hood is not suitable for placing objects on.
Proper installation
Refer to the cooker or hob manufacturer's instructions as to whether a cooker hood may be operated above the cooker/hob.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid fuel stoves.
An insufficient safety distance between the hob and the cooker hood can result in damage to the cooker hood.
The minimum safety distances between the top of the hob and the bottom of the cooker hood given in the “Installation” section of this manual must be observed, unless the hob manufacturer states that a greater safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the cooker hood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the cooker hood, select the greater distance.
The information provided in “Installation” must be observed when fixing the ventilation hood.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Components can have sharp edges which may cause injury. Wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut.
Exhaust ducting must be of non-inflammable material. Suitable material is available from Miele specialist dealers or the Miele Spares Dept.
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or 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.
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Accessories
Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty and Miele cannot accept liability.
11
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should 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.
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, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Modes of operation
Depending on the model of the cooker
hood, the following options are
available:
Extraction mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
Recirculation mode
(recirculation mode cooker hoods require a conversion kit and charcoal filter, see “Technical Data”)
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by the grease filters and then by a charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen.
