Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your appliance.  
Please do not therefore dispose of it  
with your household waste.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for  
disposal, and can normally be  
recycled.  
Packaging e.g. cling film, polystyrene  
and plastic wrappings must be kept out  
of the reach of babies and young  
children. Danger of suffocation!  
Dispose of or recycle all packaging  
materials safely as soon as possible.  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection / recycling  
centre or contact your dealer for  
advice. Ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
It should be unplugged or disconnected  
from the mains electricity supply by a  
competent person.

Using at the same time as other  
heating appliances that depend on  
the air from the room  
~
Warning - danger of toxic fumes  
For appliances with an external fan  
~
motor fitted (...EXT models) the  
connection of the two units must be  
made using the connection cable and  
the plug connectors.  
These models may only be combined  
with a Miele external motor.  
This appliance may only be used in  
~
mobile installations such as ships,  
caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk  
assessment of the installation has been  
carried out by a suitably qualified  
engineer.  
Great care should be taken when  
~
using the cooker hood 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 hobs, cookers or ovens which draw  
air in from the room and duct exhaust  
gases out through a chimney or  
extraction ducting.  
In areas which may be subject to  
~
infestation by cockroaches or other  
vermin, pay particular attention to  
keeping the appliance and its  
surroundings in a clean condition at all  
times. Any damage which may be  
caused by cockroaches or other vermin  
will not be covered by the guarantee.  
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.  
7
Warning and Safety instructions  
In order to ensure safe operation, and  
to prevent gases given off by the  
heating appliances from being drawn  
back into the room when the cooker  
hood and the heater are in operation  
simultaneously, an underpressure of  
0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum  
permissible in the room.  
One of the following technical  
measures may be necessary to ensure  
safe operation.  
– If the only way of ensuring adequate  
ventilation is via an open window, a  
window contact switch should be  
fitted to ensure that the cooker hood  
can only operate when the window is  
opened sufficiently.  
Take care when ventilating the room  
through an open window that  
ventilation is not impaired by a  
closed blind or curtain.  
– The cooker hood can be set up to  
automatically switch on an air intake  
fan or open a motorised inlet flap  
when it is switched on.  
– The cooker hood can be set up to  
automatically switch off a heating  
appliance which also depends on  
the air from the room when it is  
switched on.  
Ventilation can be maintained by air  
inlets which must not be blocked, in  
windows, doors and outside wall vents,  
or by other technical measures, such  
as ensuring that the cooker hood can  
only be switched on when the heating  
appliance is switched off or vice versa.  
A ventilation brick alone is not generally  
sufficient to ensure safe ventilation.  
The Miele DSM 400 control module  
offers the possibility of combining other  
components with the cooker hood (see  
"Operation with Control module  
DSM 400").  
It is available to purchase as an  
optional extra.  
,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 (registered with  
an official gas safety body in

Modes of operation  
The cooker hood works with  
. . . air recirculation:  
(Applies to the DA 420 V only. A  
conversion kit and charcoal filter are  
required, which are available as  
optional accessories: see "Technical  
Data")  
. . . air extraction:  
The air is drawn in, cleaned by the  
grease filters and directed outside.  
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  
through grilles in the top of the cooker  
hood telescopic tower.  
The cooker hood is fitted with a  
non-return flap, which is closed when  
the cooker hood is switched off. No  
exchange of room air and outside air  
can take place. When the cooker hood  
is switched on, the non-return flap  
opens for the cooking vapours to be  
blown directly outside.  
Before using the cooker hood in  
recirculation mode, ensure that the  
charcoal filter is in place. See  
"Cleaning and care".  
. . . an external motor:  
( ...EXT models only)  
EXT models are designed to be  
connected to an external motor located  
outside the room.  
The external motor is connected to the  
cooker hood by means of a control  
cable and is operated by the controls  
on the cooker hood.

the cooker hood from the mains  
supply. Ensure that:  
– it is switched off at the isolator, or  
– the fuse is withdrawn from the  
fused spur connection unit, or  
– the mains fuse is disconnected, or  
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in  
countries where this is applicable).  
– cleaning agents containing soda,  
acids, chlorides or solvents,  
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.  
powder cleaners or cream cleaners  
and abrasive sponges, as well as pot  
scourers or sponges which have  
been used previously with abrasive  
cleaning agents.  
These will damage the surface  
material.  
A range of Miele branded cleaning and  
conditioning agents are available to  
order through your Miele Dealer /  
Chartered Agent, the Miele Spare Parts  
Department, or via the internet on  
Important for appliances with  
stainless steel housing  
(This infomation does not apply to the  
controls).  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned  
using the Miele E-cloth, or with a  
proprietary non-abrasive cleaning  
agent designed specifically for use on  
stainless steel.  
Housing  
General notes  
The surfaces and controls are  
susceptible to scratches and  
abrasions. Please observe the  
following cleaning instructions.  
To help prevent re-soiling, a  
conditioning agent for stainless steel  
can also be used. Apply sparingly,  
following the instructions on the label.  
^ All external surfaces and controls can  
be cleaned with warm water and a  
small amount of washing-up liquid  
applied with a well wrung-out soft  
sponge or cloth.  
If too much conditioning agent is  
used traces of it may appear in the  
area where the canopy rises and  
falls.  
^ Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft  
cloth.  
Do not use too much water when  
cleaning the controls. Water could  
penetrate into the electronics and  
cause damage.  
22  
Cleaning and care  
Controls  
Grease filters  
Re-usable metal filters are fitted which  
remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc.)  
from the kitchen vapours, preventing  
soiling of the cooker hood.  
The controls may suffer  
discolouration or damage if soiling is  
left on them for too long. Remove  
soiling straight away.  
Observe the General notes on cleaning  
earlier in this section.  
The grease filters should be cleaned  
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to  
avoid a build-up of grease.  
Do not use stainless steel cleaning  
agents on the controls.  
However, they should be cleaned  
immediately if the grease filter touch  
control lamp comes on.  
,An oversaturated filter is a fire  
hazard.  
^ To take out the grease filters, release  
the locking clip on the filter, lower the  
filter 45°, unhook it at the back and  
remove it.  
To avoid damaging the filter or the  
hob below, make sure you hold the  
filter securely at all times when  
handling it.  
23  
Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the grease filters by hand  
^ When removing the filters for  
cleaning, also clean off any residues  
of oil or fat from the now accessible  
housing to prevent the risk of these  
catching fire.  
^ Clean the filters with a soft nylon  
brush in a mild solution of hot water  
and a small amount of washing-up  
liquid.  
Do not use:  
– undiluted washing-up liquid,  
– cleaning agents containing  
descaling agents,  
– powder cleaners, cream cleaners or  
abrasive all-purpose cleaning  
agents,  
When putting the grease filters back  
in position, ensure that the locking  
clips are facing down towards the  
hob.  
– oven sprays.  
Cleaning the grease filters in the  
dishwasher  
If the grease filters are inadvertently  
replaced upside down, insert a small  
screwdriver blade into the slits to  
disengage the clip.  
^ Place the filters as upright as  
possible in the lower basket, with the  
short sides upright, and wash on a  
65°C programme, ensuring the spray  
arm is not obstructed. If a Miele  
dishwasher is being used, select the  
Sensor wash programme.  
^ After replacing the grease filters,  
press the grease filter touch control  
for approximately 3 seconds to re-set  
the operating hours counter.  
^ Use a mild dishwasher detergent.  
The indicator lamp will go out.  
Depending on the cleaning agent  
used, cleaning the filters in a  
dishwasher can cause permanent  
discolouration to the surface.  
However, this will not affect the  
functioning of the filters in any way.  
If the grease filters are cleaned before  
the operating hours counter has  
reached its maximum, the grease filter  
touch control should be pressed for  
approximately 6 seconds to reset the  
counter.  
^ After cleaning, leave the filters to dry  
on an absorbent surface before  
replacing them.  
24  
Cleaning and care  
Fitting and replacing the  
charcoal filter  
Always replace the charcoal filter im-  
mediately if  
If the cooker hood is connected for  
recirculation, a charcoal filter must be  
inserted in addition to the grease filters.  
It is designed to absorb cooking  
odours.  
– the indicator lamp for the charcoal  
filter touch control lights up,  
It is fitted in the canopy above the  
grease filters.  
or  
– if it is no longer effective in absorbing  
kitchen odours.  
New filters can be purchased from  
your Miele Dealer / Chartered Agent  
or from the Miele Spare Parts  
Department.  
See back cover for contact details,  
and "Technical data" for the model  
number of the filter.  
It should, however, be replaced at least  
every 6 months.  
Used charcoal filters can be disposed  
of with the normal household waste.  
^ After fitting the new charcoal filter,  
press the charcoal filter touch control  
for approximately 3 seconds to re-set  
the operating hours counter.  
^ Before fitting or replacing a charcoal  
filter, the grease filters must first be  
taken out (see previous section for  
instructions on how to do this).  
The indicator lamp will go out.  
^ Take the charcoal filter out of its  
packaging.  
^ If a charcoal filter is replaced before  
the operating hours counter has  
reached its maximum, the charcoal  
filter touch control should be pressed  
for approximately 6 seconds to reset  
the counter.  
^ Insert the charcoal filter into the  
canopy.  
When fitting for the first time:  
^ Set the operating hours counter to  
suit your requirements (see  
"Operation").  
25  
Cleaning and care  
Changing a halogen lamp  
^ Before any cleaning or maintenance  
work, disconnect the cooker hood  
from the mains supply. Ensure that  
– it is switched off at the isolator, or  
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in  
countries where this is applicable).  
,Exercise caution when changing  
halogen lamps. They get very hot  
during use and remain hot for some  
time after being switched off. Let  
them cool down before you change  
them.  
Do not touch the surface directly  
when changing a lamp, as grease  
particles from your fingers will  
adhere to the surface and damage  
it. Please follow the manufacturer's  
instructions.  
^ To access the halogen lamp, push  
the lamp cover gently upwards. The  
cover will open and can be pulled  
down.  
^ Pull the old halogen lamp out of the  
connection socket and replace it with  
a new one (20 W, G 4 fitting).  
^ Push the cover back up and make  
sure it clicks into place.

Safety distance between hob and  
cooker hood (S)  
The minimum safety distances  
between the top of a cooker or hob  
and the bottom of the cooker hood  
are as follows, unless a greater  
distance is specified by the  
manufacturer of your cooking  
appliance:  
550 mm (GB), 600 mm (AU, NZ)  
above electric hobs and  
cookers,  
650 mm above an open grill or  
deep fat fryer,  
650 mm above gas hobs and  
cookers.  
If this cooker hood is installed above  
a Miele Wok CS 1028 CombiSet  
appliance, a minimum safety  
distance of 760 mm must be  
maintained between the burner and  
the lower edge of the cooker hood.  
For further advice, see "Warning and  
Safety" instructions.  
If the distance falls below the  
recommended safety distance when  
the canopy is lowered, the maximum  
interval it is allowed to be lowered must  
be re-set during installation (see  
"Installation").

Installation  
,Before installation, it is important  
to read the information given on the  
following pages as well as the  
"Appliance dimensions" and the  
"Warning and Safety instructions" at  
the beginning of this booklet.  
This is particularly crucial when  
using the cooker hood at the same  
time as a heating appliance that  
relies on oxygen from the same  
room to avoid the danger of toxic  
fumes building up.  
2 screws M4 x 8 mm  
for securing the tower.  
4 spacers to use in the event of an  
uneven ceiling.

Installation  
Extending or limiting the adjustment  
range  
,Ensure that the tower is held  
securely while carrying out the  
following steps. Danger of inury.  
The height range for the appliance can  
be extended or limited by moving the  
limit switch.  
It may be necessary to do this if  
– the distance between the hob and  
the canopy when it is lowered is less  
than the minimum safety disance  
required. By moving the limit switch,  
the height range for the appliance  
can be limited (the canopy will not be  
lowered as far).  
– a greater adjustment range is  
required (the canopy will be lowered  
further). A maximum appliance  
height of 1030 mm is possible (for  
extraction mode only, not possible  
for recirculation mode).

Electrical connection  
If the switch is not accessible after  
installation (depending on country), an  
additional means of disconnection must  
be provided for all poles.  
All electrical work should be  
undertaken by a suitably qualified  
and competent person in strict  
accordance with current national  
and local safety regulations.  
(BS 7671 in the UK).  
For extra safety it is advisable to install  
a residual current device (RCD) with a  
trip current of 30 mA.

WARNING:  
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE  
EARTHED  
The voltage and connected load are  
given on the data plate. This is visible  
when the grease filters have been  
removed. Ensure that these match the  
household mains supply.  
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.  
When switched off there must be an  
all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the  
switch (including switch, fuses and  
relays according to EN 60 335).  
33  
Operation with DSM 400 control module  
The Miele DSM 400 control module can  
be used to combine the cooker hood  
with other components.  
If the control module is  
disconnected in order to operate the  
cooker hood without the window  
contact switch (e.g. after moving  
house) the cooker hood electronics  
must be reset by a Miele service  
technician.  
It enables the following:  
Connection to a window contact  
switch  
If adequate ventilation to the room can  
only be ensured by having a window  
open when the cooker hood is in use at  
the same time as a heating appliance  
which depends on the air from the  
same room, then the control module  
can be used to connect a window  
contact switch (not supplied) to the  
appliance.  
Potential free connection  
This enables a further appliance to be  
controlled by the switch setting on the  
cooker hood fan.  
– For instance it can be used to ensure  
a sufficient supply of fresh air when  
the cooker hood and a heating  
appliance which also depends on  
the air in the room are being used  
together, by switching on an air  
intake fan, or opening a motorised  
inlet flap as soon as the cooker hood  
fan is switched on.  
Once connnected, the cooker hood can  
only be operated when the window is  
sufficiently open (see also "Warning  
and Safety instructions").  
When the window is closed, the cooker  
hood fan cannot be switched on. The  
indicator lamp for the On/Off touch  
control on the cooker hood will flash.  
It is important to ensure that the fan  
power is sufficient and that the air  
intake has a suitable cross-sectional  
diameter.  
The same applies to operation with an  
external motor (depending on model).  
The cooker hood lighting is not affected  
by this.  
– If a sufficient air intake cannot be  
guaranteed, then the potential free  
contact will enable a heating

a window contact switch.  
appliance, which depends on air in  
the same room as a cooker hood, to  
be switched off when the cooker  
hood is in operation.  
Take care when ventilating the room  
through an open window that ventilation  
is not impaired by a closed blind or  
curtain.  
See also "Warning and Safety"  
instructions.  
34  
Operation with DSM 400 control module  
Connection to a light switch  
The control module can be used to  
switch on the cooker hood lighting and  
also to dim it (depending on model) via  
a light switch in the house.  
Installation  
The control module is fitted in the tower  
after the cover plate has been  
unscrewed from the ceiling.  
The control module is supplied with its  
own detailed operating and installation  
instructions.  
35  
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 cooker hood at the same time as  
another heating appliance which  
relies on air from the same room.  
The cooker hood 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 cooker  
hood.  
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into  
the open air, the installation of a  
telescopic wall vent is  
recommended.  
– All ducting, pipework and fittings  
must be of non-flammable materials.  
– 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 cooker  
hood 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 cooker hood.  
– Only use smooth pipes or flexible  
hoses made from non-flammable  
materials for extraction connection.  
36  
Connection for air extraction  
Important!  
Cooker hoods designed for use with an  
external motor (...EXT models) have an  
integrated condensate trap.  
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  
Silencer  
problem of condensation will need to  
be addressed. The exhaust ducting will  
need to be suitably insulated.  
(optional accessory)  
Condensate trap  
(optional accessory)  
To achieve even further reductions in  
noise levels, a special silencer can be  
fitted in the ducting system.  
It can be sited at any suitable position  
in the ducting system between the  
cooker hood and the external motor on  
...EXT model cooker hoods.  
On extraction models, it can be fitted  
nearest the ducting outlet to the outside  
to reduce neighbourhood noise.  
In addition to insulating the exhaust  
ducting, we recommend that a suitable  
condensate trap is also installed to  
collect and evaporate any condensate  
which may occur. Condensate traps  
are available for C 125 mm or  
C 150 mm ducting.  
When installing a condensate trap,  
ensure that it is positioned vertically  
and if possible directly above the  
exhaust connection. The arrow on the  
housing indicates the direction of  
air-flow.
