Description of functions

The following functions are available on
your ventilation hood, depending on the
model:

Vented mode

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

Non-return flap

A non-return flap in the ducting
prevents the exchange of inside and
outside air from occurring when the
ventilation hood is not in use.
The flap is closed when the ventilation
hood is turned off.
When the ventilation hood is turned on,
the non-return flap opens so that the
exhaust air can be transported outside
without any obstruction.

Recirculation mode

The recirculation mode requires a
recirculation kit and OdorFree Charcoal
Filter (available as optional accessories,
see “Technical Data” for more
information)

The air is drawn in and first cleaned by
the grease filters and then by an
OdorFree Charcoal Filter. The cleaned
air is then recirculated back into the
kitchen.

A non-return flap has been provided
with the hood in case your ducting does
not have one. It is inserted into the
outlet duct collar of the fan.

17

Energy-saving tips

This hood operates in a very efficient
and energy-saving manner. The
following will help you to save even
more energy when using it:

– Ensure that there is sufficient

ventilation in the kitchen when
cooking. If there is insufficient air flow
during vented mode, the hood
cannot operate efficiently, causing
increased operating noise levels.

– Always cook with the lowest possible

setting. This produces fewer cooking
vapors so that you can use a lower
hood power level and therefore
benefit from reduced energy
consumption.

– Check the power level selected on

the hood. A lower power level is
generally sufficient for the majority of
cooking. Only use the booster level
when necessary.

– When a large volume of cooking

vapors are being produced, switch to
a high power level in good time. This
is more efficient than operating the
hood for longer to try to capture
cooking vapors that have already
been distributed throughout the
kitchen.

– Make sure that you switch off the

hood after use.

– Clean or change the filters at regular

intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.

18

Cleaning and care

 WARNING: TO REDUCE THE

RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

 Before cleaning or servicing the

hood, disconnect it from the power
supply, see “IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS”.

Stainless steel housing

General information

 The surfaces and control buttons

are susceptible to scratching and
chipping.

Observe the following cleaning
instructions.

 Clean all surfaces and control buttons

using warm water and liquid dish
soap. Apply with a sponge cloth.

 Make sure that no water gets

into the interior of the hood.
Only use a damp cloth to clean the

hood, especially in the control panel
area.

Special instructions for stainless steel surfaces

(does not apply to control buttons)
 Stainless steel surfaces can also be

cleaned using a non-abrasive
stainless steel cleaner, available from
Miele.

 To prevent the surfaces from quickly

becoming dirty again, we recommend
treating them with a stainless steel
care conditioner.
Apply sparingly over the entire area
using a soft cloth.

Important for the controls

Do not leave dirt and debris on the
buttons for any length of time.

Otherwise they may become
discolored or damaged.

Remove any dirt or debris
immediately.

 Observe the general cleaning

instructions contained in this chapter.

Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
to clean the control buttons.

 After cleaning, dry the surfaces with a

soft cloth.

Avoid the following:

– Cleaners containing soda, acid or

chloride, or cleaners containing
solvents

– Abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers

or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.

20

Grease filters

The reusable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove the solid particles
contained in kitchen vapors (grease,
dust, etc.), thereby preventing the
ventilation hood from becoming dirty.

The grease filters must be cleaned at
regular intervals.

Cleaning and care

Heavily soiled grease filters hinder air
extraction and will lead to increased
levels of soiling in the ventilation hood
and in the kitchen.

 Risk of fire!

Oversaturated grease filters are a fire
hazard.

Clean the grease filters at regular
intervals.

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.

Removing the grease filters

 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.

 To remove a grease filter, release the

locking clip. Then, open the filter to a
45° angle, unhook it, and remove it
from the hood.

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

 Clean the filters with a soft nylon

brush in a mild solution of hot water
and dish soap. Do not use undiluted
dish soap.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage
to the filter surfaces if used regularly.
Do not use any of the following:

– Lime removers

– Abrasive powders or abrasive liquids

– Aggressive all-purpose cleaners and

degreaser sprays

– Oven sprays

Cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher

 Place the grease filters upright or

slightly inclined in the lower basket.
Ensure the spray arm is not
obstructed.

 Use a commonly available household

dishwashing detergent.

21

Cleaning and care

 In a Miele dishwasher use the

“Normal” program.

Depending on the detergent used,
cleaning the filters in a dishwasher
may cause the inside filter surfaces to
become discolored. However, this will
not affect the functioning of the grease
filters in any way.

After cleaning

 After cleaning, leave the filters on an

absorbent surface to dry.

 When removing the filters for

cleaning, also clean off any
accessible oil or fat buildup from the
housing. Doing so will prevent a fire
hazard.

 Reinstall the grease filters. When

inserting the filters, make sure that
the locking clip is facing down.

OdorFree Charcoal Filter

If the hood is equipped for recirculation,
an OdorFree Charcoal Filter must be
installed in addition to the grease filters.
This filter is designed to absorb odor­causing agents and is mounted in the
canopy above the grease filters.

Charcoal filters are available to order via
the Miele Webstore, Miele Service (see
end of this booklet for contact details)
or directly from Miele.

How to install/replace a charcoal filter

 Remove the grease filters before

fitting or replacing a charcoal filter.

 Take the charcoal filter out of its

packaging.

 If the filters have been installed

incorrectly, you can insert a small
screwdriver into the slit to disengage
the locking clip.

22

 Press the charcoal filter into the

frame.

 Reinsert the grease filters.

When to change the OdorFree Charcoal Filter

 Replace the charcoal filter when it no

longer absorbs kitchen odors

Installation

Installation recommendations

– A distance of at least 26" (660mm) is

recommended above electric
cooktops to provide more workspace
and easier cooking under the hood.

– When selecting an installation height,

always take the user height into
consideration. Users should have
ample space to work comfortably on
the cooktop and reach the ventilation
hood controls with ease.

– Please note that the greater the

distance from the cooktop, the less
effective the hood is at drawing in the
cooking vapors.

– To achieve optimum vapor extraction,

the ventilation system must be
centered over the cooktop, not to the
side or behind.

Structural support

– The cooktop should be no wider than

the hood. Preferably, it should be
narrower for better extraction.

– The mounting area must be easily

accessible. The ventilation hood
should be easy to reach and
disassemble in case a service call is
necessary. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the
position of cabinetry, shelves,
ceilings or decorative elements in the
vicinity of the ventilation hood.

28

The hood must be attached to rigid
structural framing that is supported
in its entirety by the ceiling joists, or
to the ceiling joists directly. Do not
attach the plate directly to the ceiling
with anchors, toggle bolts, etc.

Removing the protective film

The housing components are covered
by a protective film to prevent them
from damage during transport.

 Please remove this film before

installing the housing components. It
can be peeled off easily without any
additional tools.

 Draw two intersecting lines on the

ceiling.

Installation

 For vented mode:

– Place a section of the exhaust

ducting in the ceiling and feed it
down through the cross-sectional
area as illustrated. Exhaust ducting of
approx. 27 ⁹/₁₆" (700 mm) length is
required between the ceiling and the
hood exhaust socket.

– Secure the exhaust ducting to the

exhaust socket, e.g. with a hose clip
(available as an optional accessory)
on flexible ducting.

 Place the power cord and guide it

through the ceiling in the area shown.
A power cord approx. 27 ⁹/₁₆" (700
mm) in length is required between the
ceiling and the hood connectors.

29

Installation

 Use a knife to release the four

spacers and the two covers from the
spacer frame supplied.

 Use the spacer frame as a drilling

template. Place it on the ceiling with
the arrows pointing forwards. Using
the notches, align the spacer frame
on the intersecting lines and make
pencil marks for the drill holes.

30

 Drill four holes  ³/₈“ (10mm),

approx. 4 ¹/₂” (115mm) deep for the
plugs supplied.

 Place the four plugs in the holes and

screw in the four screws so that they
protrude by approx. 1 ³/₁₆" (30mm).

The spacer frame can be installed
between the chimney and the ceiling.
This creates a shadow which gives the
illusion of a gap between the ceiling and
the chimney. This is useful if the ceiling
is not level or is uneven. The hood is
aligned vertically with the spacers
supplied. Visual irregularities between
the chimney and the ceiling are then
concealed by the shadow.

Installation

 Mount the spacer frame onto the

installation frame.

 If you wish to install the hood with the

spacer frame, remove the four inserts
from the fixing holes.

31

Installation

 Hang the installation frame on the

four screws. The front of the frame is
marked with a “V”.

 If using the spacer frame, place the

two covers into the fixing holes.

32

 Align the installation frame and

secure it with the screws.
The spacers, which were removed
from the spacer frame at the start,
can be used to align the hood
vertically.

 Holding the installation frame

securely, remove the two fixing
screws and extend the installation
frame to its maximum length.

 Replace the screws.

The directional unit from recirculation kit
DUI 32 (optional accessory) is installed
for recirculation mode (RM):

Installation

 Bend the four retaining tabs on the

installation frame outward.

 Place the power cord inside the

installation frame.

 Fit the directional unit as shown,

noting the marking on the front.

 Bend the retaining tabs back and

approx. 45° inward to hold the
directional unit in place.

33

Installation

 Secure the exhaust socket to the

hose using a hose clip.

 Secure the hose to the directional unit

socket using a hose clip.

 Check that the hose is held securely.

34

 Push the telescopic chimney over the

installation frame:

– with the recirculation grilles at the

bottom for vented mode (AE),

– with the recirculation grilles at the top

for recirculation mode (RM).

 Bend the two retaining tabs outwards

to prevent the telescopic chimney
from slipping down again.

Installation

 Fit the four telescopic chimney

clamps. When the screws are
tightened, the clamps spread out and
push the telescopic expansion piece
upwards.

Tighten the screws only until the top
edge of the telescopic chimney is
evenly aligned with the ceiling or the
spacer frame.

 Bend back the two retaining tabs.
 Push the chimney over the telescopic

extension piece and bend the
retaining tabs outward again to
prevent the chimney from slipping
down again.

35

Installation

A non-return flap is supplied with the
hood or is already fitted in the exhaust
socket of the motor unit (depending on
model).

 With vented mode (AE) insert the

non-return flap in the exhaust socket
if your ducting system is not
equipped with one.
Recirculation mode (RM) does not
require the non-return flap to be
inserted. If there is one present, it
should be removed.

 Hang the hood on the brackets,

making sure that the controls are at
the front.

36

 Secure the hood with the screws

supplied.

 Connect the power cord. See

“Electrical connection.”

 Place the exhaust ducting onto the

exhaust socket.

Installation

 Unscrew both screws from the

installation frame again.

The canopy can now be adjusted to the
desired height, observing the
permissible height ranges:

– With vented mode: upwards as far as

it will go, downwards only to the “A”
marking.

– With recirculation mode: upwards as

far as the “U”, downwards as far as it
will go.

Follow the instructions in “Appliance
dimensions.” Safety distances
between the cooktop and ventilation
hood must be observed.

37

Installation

 Raise the canopy to the desired

height and secure it with the screws.

38

 Hold the chimney securely, bend

back the retaining tabs and carefully
lower it.

The chimney will locate in the cut-out in
the canopy.

 Remove the grease filters from the

hood.

Installation

 With recirculation mode (RM)

ventilation hoods, insert the OdorFree
Charcoal Filter.

 Insert the safety screw on the inside.

 Carefully remove the protective foil

from the grease filters.

 Reinsert the grease filters.

39

Air venting

WARNING: Danger of toxic fumes.
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled.

To reduce the risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, the exhaust
gases extracted by the hood should
be vented outside of the building
only.

Do not vent exhaust air into spaces
within walls or ceilings or in attics,
crawl spaces or garages.

To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.

Please read and follow the
“IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS” to reduce the risk
of personal injury. Follow all local
building codes when installing the
hood.

Only use smooth pipes or flexible
duct hoses made from non­combustible materials for exhaust
ductwork.

To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise levels,
please note the following:

– The diameter of the exhaust duct

should not be less than 6" (150mm).

– If flat exhaust ducts are used, the

cross section should not be smaller
than that of the exhaust connector.

– The exhaust duct should be as short

and straight as possible.

– Make sure that all connections are

secure and airtight.

Remember that any constriction of
the airflow will reduce extraction
performance and increase operating
noise.

 If the exhaust duct is to be routed

through an outside wall, we
recommend installing a telescopic
wall vent or a rooftop vent (available
as an optional accessory).

 If the exhaust air is conveyed into an

exhaust air chimney, the inlet
connector must face the flow
direction.

 When installing the exhaust duct

horizontally, a minimum slope of ¹/₈
inch per foot must be maintained to
prevent condensate from flowing into
the ventilation hood.

 If the exhaust duct is to be routed

through cool rooms, ceilings, etc., the
temperatures in these different areas
may differ greatly. Therefore water
condensation must be considered
and the exhaust duct will need to be
insulated.

– If elbows are needed, make sure they

have a large radius.

– The exhaust duct itself must not be

kinked or compressed.

40

Condensate trap

In addition to insulating the exhaust
duct, we recommend installing a
condensate trap to collect and
evaporate any condensate which might
accumulate.
Condensate traps are available for
exhaust ducts with a diameter of
5" (125 mm) or 6" (150 mm).

Air venting

 When installing a condensate trap,

make sure that it is positioned
vertically and, if possible, directly
above the hood outlet duct collar.
The arrow on the housing indicates
the direction of airflow.
