Functional description  
The ventilation hood offers two modes  
of operation:  
Air extraction  
Recirculation mode  
Air is drawn through the grease filter  
and active charcoal filter. The filtered  
air is then recirculated back into the  
kitchen through a vent at the top of the  
hood’s chimney.  
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the  
grease filter and directed outside.  
The hood comes equipped with a  
non-return flap. This flap automatically  
closes when the hood is turned off so  
that no exchange of outside air and  
room air can occur.  
The active charcoal filter and the  
installation kit may be purchased from  
your Miele.  
When the hood is turned on, the air  
pressure of the exhaust fan auto-  
matically opens the flap blowing the  
inside air and cooking odors outside.  
Before using the hood in  
recirculation mode, ensure that the  
active charcoal filter is in place, see  
"Cleaning and Care".

Cleaning and Care  
Stainless steel  
Before cleaning or servicing the  
hood, disconnect it from the power  
supply by either removing the fuse,  
unplugging it from the outlet or  
manually "tripping" the circuit  
breaker.  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned  
using a non-abrasive stainless steel  
cleaner.  
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner  
for stainless steel can also be used.  
Apply sparingly with even pressure.  
Cleaning the casing  
Stainless steel colored controls  
,Never use abrasive cleaners,  
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic  
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They  
will damage the surface.  
These controls may become dis-  
colored or damaged if not cleaned  
regularly.  
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner  
on these controls.  
^ The exterior surfaces and controls  
can be cleaned with warm water and  
liquid dish soap applied with a soft  
sponge.  
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.  
Only use a slightly damp sponge  
when cleaning the controls. Water  
could penetrate into the electronics  
and cause damage.  
^ Glass surfaces can be cleaned using  
glass cleaner.  
Avoid:  
– cleaning agents containing soda,  
acids, chlorides or thinners,  
– abrasive cleaning agents  
e.g. powder or cream cleansers,  
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers  
or sponges which have been  
previously used with abrasive  
cleaning agents,  
– limescale removers.  
These will damage the surface.

Cleaning and Care  
Grease filter  
Removing the grease filter  
The reusable metal grease filter  
removes solid particles from the vented  
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).  
The grease filter should be cleaned  
every 3 - 4 weeks or whenever the  
grease filter indicator lights red.  
^ To remove the grease filter pull the  
locking clip forward. Lower the filter  
45° unhook it at the rear and take it  
out. Support the grease filter so that it  
does not fall onto the cooktop.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Cleaning and Care  
Cleaning the grease filter  
^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a  
solution of warm water and mild  
detergent.  
Do not use pure detergent,  
aggressive all purpose cleaners,  
oven sprays, abrasive cleaning  
agents or limescale removers. They  
could destroy the filter.  
^ If the filter is incorrectly installed,  
insert a small screwdriver into the slit

dishwasher detergent. Overuse could  
destroy the filter.  
The indicator light will go out.  
^ If the grease filter is cleaned before  
the grease filter timer has reached its  
maximum, the grease filter button  
should be pressed for 6 seconds to  
reset the counter to zero.  
Depending on the detergent,  
cleaning the grease filter in a  
dishwasher may cause permanent  
discoloration of the filter surface.  
Performance of the filter will not be  
affected by this discoloration.  
^ After cleaning, the filter can be  
placed on a towel to air dry.  
^ While the filter is removed, clean any  
dirt or grease from the interior casing  
to prevent the risk of fire.  
^ When putting the grease filter back  
make sure that the locking clip is  
facing the cooking surface.

Cleaning and Care  
Active charcoal filter  
In recirculation mode an active  
charcoal filter must be used in addition  
to the grease filter. The charcoal filter is  
designed to absorb cooking odors.  
The active charcoal filter will be placed  
in the canopy above the grease filter.  
Replace the active charcoal filter when  
the grease/charcoal filter indicator  
lights blue, at least every 6 months or  
when they no longer absorb odors  
efficiently.  
Replacement active charcoal filters  
can be ordered from Miele.  
^ After replacing the charcoal filter,  
press the grease/charcoal filter  
button twice and hold for about  
3 seconds to reset the charcoal filter  
timer.

the charcoal filter. See "Cleaning and  
Care/Grease filter".  
The indicator light will go out.  
^ If the charcoal filter is replaced  
before the timer has reached its  
maximum, press the grease/charcoal  
filter button twice and hold for  
6 seconds to reset the counter to  
zero.  
^ Insert the charcoal filter.  
^ Reinsert the grease filter.

Plywood backing  
^ Find the studs to the left and right of  
the mounting location by tapping the  
wall or using a stud finder.  
The majority of the weight of the  
installed ventilation system will be  
supported by the lower retaining  
plate. It must be firmly attached to  
the stud framing behind the drywall.  
If studs are not available in the  
required locations, a plywood  
backing (min. ½" (13 mm) thick)  
spanning at least two studs must be  
installed. Failure to adequately  
support the weight as stated may  
result in the ventilation system falling  
off the wall, causing personal injury  
and property damage.  
^ Mark a vertical cutting line along the  
center of each stud.  
Be careful not to damage any wiring  
or plumbing that may be located  
behind the wall. Make sure that the  
power supply to the area where this  
installation is being performed has  
been turned off at the breaker panel  
before cutting into the wall.  
^ Remove the drywall between the

Grounding Instructions  
All electrical work must be  
performed by a qualified electrician  
in strict accordance with national  
and local safety regulations.  
Installation, repairs and other work  
by unqualified persons could be  
dangerous. The manufacturer  
cannot be held responsible for  
unauthorized work.  
This appliance must be grounded. In  
the event of an electrical short circuit,  
grounding reduces the risk of electric  
shock by providing a path of least  
resistance. This appliance is equipped  
with a cord having a grounding wire  
with a grounding plug. The plug must  
be plugged into an outlet that is  
properly installed and grounded.  
Ensure that power to the appliance  
is off while installation or repair work  
is performed.  
WARNING - Improper grounding can  
result in a risk of electric shock.  
If there is any doubt, have the electrical  
system of the house checked by a  
qualified electrician. The manufacturer  
cannot be held responsible for  
damages caused by the lack, or  
inadequacy, of an effective grounding  
system.  
^ Verify that the voltage, load and  
circuit rating information found on the  
data plate (located behind the  
grease filter), match the household  
electrical supply before installing the  
hood.  
If there is any question concerning the  
electrical connection of this appliance  
to your power supply, please consult a  
licensed electrician or call Miele’s  
Technical Service Department.  
Do not use an extension cord. If the  
power supply cord is too short, have a  
qualified electrician install an outlet  
near the appliance.

Distance between cooktop and  
hood (S)  
Do not install this exhaust hood over  
cooktops burning solid fuel.  
The installation procedure differs  
depending on the model and venting  
method.  
Provided a larger distance is not  
given by the manufacturer of the  
cooktop, follow the minimum safety  
distances between a cooktop and  
the bottom of the hood:  
Before beginning the installation:  
^ Read all instructions.  
^ Determine height (S), regarding the  
user’s body height, i.e. a comfortable  
height for the user.  
- 22" (550 mm) above electric  
cooktops,  
- 30" (762 mm) above gas cooktops,  
- 26" (650 mm) above an open  
electric grill or an open electric  
boiler/fryer.  
However, the greater the distance the  
less effectively cooking odors are  
drawn in.  
^ If the hood is fitted flush to the  
ceiling, regard the possible unit  
height when selecting the installation  
height.  
If local building codes require a  
greater safety distance, follow their  
requirement.  
Standard unit height H  
If there is more than one appliance  
beneath the hood and they have  
different minimum safety distances  
always select the greater distance.

Air extraction  
Exhaust ducting and connections  
,WARNING  
– The ducting should be as short and  
straight as possible, and the number  
of sharp bends should be minimized.  
Danger of toxic fumes.  
Gas cooking appliances release  
carbon monoxide that can be  
harmful or fatal if inhaled.  
– For most efficient air extraction, the  
diameter of the ductwork should not  
be less than 6" (150 mm). Use of flat  
ducts also reduces the air extraction  
efficiency.  
The exhaust gases extracted by  
the hood should be vented  
outside of the building only.  
– Noise levels of the hood will increase  
if flat ducts or round ducts of less  
than 6" (150 mm) in diameter are  
used.  
Do not terminate the exhaust  
ducts in attics, garages,  
crawlspaces, etc.  
– Use smooth or flexible pipes made  
from approved non-flammable  
materials for exhaust ducting.  
To reduce the risk of fire, only use  
metal ductwork.  
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it  
must slope away from the hood at  
least 1/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to  
prevent condensation dripping into  
the appliance.  
Please read and follow the  
"IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of  
personal injury. Follow all local building  
codes when installing the hood.  
– If the exhaust is ducted through an  
outside wall, a Miele Telescopic Wall  
Vent can be used.

Air extraction  
Condensate trap  
optional accessory  
In some cases, a condensate trap may  
also be required to collect and  
evaporate any condensate which may  
occur. This optional accessory is  
available for ducts 5" (125 mm) and  
5 7/8" (150 mm) in diameter.  
– If the exhaust is ducted into an  
inactive flue, the air must be expelled  
parallel to the flow direction of the  
flue.  
Never connect an exhaust hood to  
an active chimney, dryer vent, flue,  
or room venting ductwork. Seek  
professional advice before  
connecting an exhaust hood vent to  
an existing, inactive chimney or vent  
flue.  
^ When installing a condensate trap,  
ensure that it is positioned vertically  
and if possible directly above the  
exhaust outlet.  
Important  
If the ductwork runs through rooms,  
ceilings, garages, etc. where  
temperature variations exist, it may  
need to be insulated to reduce  
condensation.
