installations (e.g. on a ship).
Great care should be taken when
~
using the rangehood at the same time
and in the same room or area of the
house as another heating appliance
which depends on the air in the room.
Such appliances include gas, oil, wood
or coal-fired boilers and heaters,
continuous flow or other water heaters,
gas cooktops, cookers or ovens which
draw air in from the room and duct
exhaust gases out through a chimney
or extraction ducting.
When used in extraction mode, with or
without an external motor fitted, the
appliance draws air in from the room in
which it is installed and from
neighbouring rooms.
If there is insufficient air, an
underpressure will occur. The heating
appliance may be starved of oxygen,
impairing combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn out of
the chimney or extraction ducting back
into the room, with potentially fatal
consequences.

Description of the functions
The rangehood works with
. . . air extraction:
. . . air recirculation:
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filters and then by two
charcoal filters.
If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap, a
non-return flap is supplied with the
appliance.
The cleaned air is then recirculated
back into the kitchen through grilles in
the top of the rangehood extension
piece.
Having a non-return flap fitted in the
ducting ensures that air, once ducted
to the outside, cannot get back into the
room again.
Charcoal filters are available to order
through your Chartered Agent, from
Miele or via the internet at
for contact details and "Technical Data"
for model number).
The flap is closed when the rangehood
is switched off.
When the rangehood is switched on,
the non-return flap opens for the
cooking vapours to be blown directly
outside.
Before using the rangehood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
charcoal filters are in place. See
"Cleaning and care".

cleaning agents. These will damage
the surface material.
,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.
Grease filters
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapours, preventing soiling of the
rangehood.
The halogen lamps can also be
damaged if water is used to clean
them.
To avoid a build-up of fat, it should be
cleaned every 3-4 weeks on average,
but sooner if necessary.
Wait several minutes after switching
off before beginning cleaning.
,An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
Housing
The surfaces and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasion. Please observe the
following cleaning instructions.
All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned using warm water with a
small amount of washing-up liquid
applied with a well wrung-out soft
sponge or cloth.

WARNING:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
Connection of this appliance should be
made via a suitable isolator or a double
pole fused spur connection unit which
complies with national and local safety
regulations and the On-Off switch
should be easily accessible after the
appliance has been built in.
23
Connection for air extraction
– Where ducting is horizontal, it must
be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm
per metre.
Important: To avoid the danger of
toxic fumes, please observe the
Warning and Safety instructions.
This is especially crucial when using
the rangehood at the same time as
another heating appliance which
relies on air from the same room.
The rangehood should be installed
according to local and national
building regulations. Seek approval
from the building inspector where
necessary.
This is to ensure that condensate
cannot drain back into the
rangehood.
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
the open air, the installation of a
telescopic wall vent is
recommended.
– The exhaust 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 if flat ducting is
used, the noise level of the
rangehood will increase and
extraction will be less efficient.
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a vent flue, the ducting must be
directed in the flow direction of the
flue.
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 rangehood.
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
– Only use smooth pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable
materials for extraction connection.
