The right solution for every home

Miele rangehoods

Miele offers four standard rangehood designs giving you great choice for your kitchen in terms of style and function. Miele wall mounted and island hoods are eye-catching with their prominent lines and perfect workmanship and will make an attractive focal point in any kitchen.

Island rangehoods

If you are planning on having a cooking islandyou will need a Miele island hood to set it off and become the crowning glory in your kitchen. Highlight your creative cooking zone with clean lines and exciting accents. With Miele you can be certain you'll find high-quality designs for the most discerning expectations.

Wall-mounted rangehoods

Turn your cooking area into an eye-catcher with a wall mounted rangehood fitted in between two wall units or on its own to make a bold statement. Miele wall mounted rangehoods boast clean, prominent lines and perfect workmanship and make a clear statement with a minimalist design in stainless steel or a combination of stainless steel and glass. There's even a choice ofa bowed or flat glass canopy: wall mounted rangehoods from Miele are ahighlight in every kitchen in terms of functionality and design.

The right solution for every home

Miele rangehoods

Miele slimline rangehoods, built-under rangehoods,and built-in rangehoods are allsuitable for installation underneath or in a wall unit depending on model. These models are offered in both recirculation and extraction mode.

Slimline rangehoods

A highlight for minimalists: slimline rangehoodscan be fittedso that they arehidden once installed. When installedtogether with the optional DAR 3000 built-in frame, all that you see when they are working is the stainless steel trim beneath the wall unit.The perfect fit for a minimalistic kitchen. The powerful flat, pull-out deflector plate

catches kitchen vapours effectively for complete extraction from the kitchen.

Built-under rangehoods

Individual kitchen designs – e.g. with an eye-catching chimney or sleek run of cupboards– can be fitted with built-in rangehoods. This type of rangehood offers unlimited planning and design freedom. Ideal for hand-crafted architectural features or a cupboard run in your kitchen. Let your imagination inspire you!

Integrated rangehoods

If you do not want to see the rangehood at all, a Miele integrated model is the one for you. With a furniture door to match the kitchen, it disappears discreetly into a row of wall units. Invisible when shut, this rangehood blends perfectly into the background and is the ideal rangehood for a sleek kitchen design.

Theperfect micro-climate

Miele rangehood operating modes

Extraction mode: highly efficient

Extraction mode rangehoods extract cooking vapours and filter the air through a grease filter to remove any grease particles. The filtered air is then transported out of the kitchen via extraction ducting together with any excess moisture and odours. To do this extraction mode rangehoods need ducting through the outside wall or roof and a supply of fresh air, e.g. through an open window.

Extraction mode rangehoods are recommended above gas cooktops, particularly when frying and using a wok. This type of cooking generates a lot of heat, fat and steam which these rangehoods removes most efficiently. For gas cooktops, they also ensure an adequate supply of oxygen as the combustion of gas requires an ample supply of oxygen.

Recirculation mode: simple and efficient

Recirculation mode rangehoods draw the cooking vapours in and pass them through different layers of filtration to remove grease and odour particles. The cleaned air is then redirected back into the kitchen. This air circulation takes place in a closed room and there is no need for ducting systems, or for holes to be drilled in walls or ceilings.

Recirculation mode rangehoods are very easy to install and are very often the only option available because of building constraints, e.g. in ablock of flats.

A recirculation mode rangehood is suitable for installation above a HiLight or induction cooktop.

During cooking, and in particular when frying, vapours are given off which consist of a mixture of steam, particles of fat and odours. If air in the room is not extracted or filtered, these vapours will remain in the room and affect the kitchen environment. Over a period of time this will affect the kitchen furniture, soft furnishings, paintwork etc. as this is where grease and vapours settle. There are two options for cleaning the air effectively: extraction mode and recirculation mode. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Which one suits you best will depend on a number or factors which are explained in this bochure.

The ideal rangehood for your cooktop

Miele rangehood widths

How wide does the rangehood need to be? This depends firstly on the width of the cooktop and secondly on the size of your kitchen. Ideally, the rangehood is slightly wider than the cooktop below it. Only then can you be certain of capturing all the rising cooking vapours and benefit fully from the rangehood's power. If there is not enough space for this, then the rangehood should be at least as wide as the cooktop.
