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.

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.

– 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. A window

contact switch kit is available from

good builders' merchants.

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

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.

Modes of operation

The cooker hood works with

. . . air extraction:

. . . air recirculation:

(available as an optional extra with a

conversion kit and charcoal filter: see

"Technical Data")

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the

grease filters and directed outside.

If the on-site ventilation system does

not have a non-return flap, the

non-return flap supplied with the

appliance must be fitted in the exhaust

socket in the motor unit.

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 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.

Before using the cooker hood in

recirculation mode, ensure that the

charcoal filter is in place. See

"Cleaning and care".

The flap is closed when the cooker

hood is switched off.

When the cooker hood is switched on,

the non-return flap opens for the

cooking vapours to be ducted away.

Cleaning and care

Important for appliances with

lacquered housing

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

cooker hood.

(special order finish)

It is very difficult to clean this type of

surface without causing minor marks to

the surface material. This can become

particularly noticeable with darker

colours and if there is halogen lighting

in the kitchen.

The grease filters should be cleaned

regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to

avoid a build-up of grease.

An oversaturated filter is a fire

hazard.

Controls

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.

Do not use stainless steel cleaning

agents on the controls.

^ To take out the grease filters, release

the locking clip on the filters, lower

the filters 45°, unhook them at the

back and remove them.

Glass surfaces

^ Glass surfaces can be cleaned using

a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning

agent designed specifically for use

on glass.

To avoid damaging the filters or the

hob below, make sure you hold the

filters securely at all times when

handling them.

Do not use:

– sharp metal tools,

– oven sprays.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

^ After cleaning, leave the filters to dry

on an absorbent surface before

replacing them.

^ Clean the filters with a soft nylon

brush in a mild solution of hot water

and a small amount of washing-up

liquid.

^ 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.

Do not use undiluted washing up

liquid.

Do not use:

When putting the grease filters back in

position, ensure that the locking clips

are facing down towards the hob.

– cleaning agents containing

descaling agents,

– powder cleaners, cream cleaners or

abrasive all-purpose cleaning

agents,

– oven sprays.

Cleaning the grease filters in the

dishwasher

^ 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.

If a grease filter is inadvertently

replaced upside down, insert a small

screwdriver blade into the slit to

disengage the clip.

^ Use a mild dishwasher detergent.

Depending on the cleaning agent

used, cleaning the filters in a

dishwasher can cause permanent

discolouration to the surface.

Dismantling

,^{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.

Should the appliance ever need to be

dismantled, follow the installation

instructions in reverse order as

described on the installation sheet.

A lever is supplied to assist with the

removal of the tower.

Installation instructions

See enclosed Installation sheet for

instructions on how to install this

appliance.

Connection for air extraction

,^{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.

If the exhaust ducting is secured to

the exhaust stub by a hose clip,

ensure that it is fitted correctly. Do

not overtighten.

Otherwise the exhaust stub could

buckle and the non-return flap could

become jammed.

– 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.

– Where ducting is horizontal, it must

be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm

per metre.

This is to ensure that condensate

cannot drain back into the cooker

hood.

Only reduce the diameter of the

ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g.

where narrower ducting has already

been installed.

– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into

the open air, the installation of a

telescopic wall vent is recommended.

– Only use wide radius bends. Tight

bends reduce the air throughput of

the cooker hood.

– 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 use smooth pipes or flexible

hoses made from non-flammable

materials for extraction connection.

Connection for air extraction

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

problem of condensation will need to

be addressed. The exhaust ducting will

need to be suitably insulated.

Condensate trap

(optional extra)

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.

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
