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".

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.  
,CAUTION  
When cutting or drilling into the wall  
or ceiling, do not damage electrical  
wiring and other hidden utilities.  
^ Remove the drywall between the  
cutting lines and replace it with  
plywood of a matching thickness  
(min. ½" (13 mm) thick). Tape the  
joints and refinish the wall.  
(If plywood backing is not needed,  
proceed to the included "Installation  
diagram".)  
^ Proceed to the enclosed "Installation  
diagram" to complete the installation.  
To install a plywood backing  
^ Determine and mark the location of  
the retaining plate for the canopy as  
outlined on the "Installation diagram".

Air extraction  
Exhaust ducting and connections  
,WARNING  
Use smooth or flexible pipework made  
from approved non-flammable  
materials for exhaust ducting.  
Danger of toxic fumes.  
Gas cooking appliances release  
carbon monoxide that can be  
harmful or fatal if inhaled.  
To reduce the risk of fire and to  
properly exhaust air, the exhaust  
gases extracted by the hood  
should be vented outside of the  
building only.  
To achieve the most efficient air  
extraction and quietest noise levels,  
consider the following:  
– The diameter of the ductwork should  
not be less than 6" (150 mm).  
– If flat ducting is used, the cross  
section must not be smaller than the  
cross section of the ventilation  
exhaust.  
Do not vent exhaust air into  
spaces within walls or ceilings or  
in attics, crawl spaces or garages.  
– The ducting should be as short and  
straight as possible.  
– Use ductwork with a wide radius.  
To reduce the risk of fire, only use  
metal ductwork.  
– The exhaust duct must not be bent  
or compressed.  
Please read and follow the  
– Make sure all connections are  
secure.  
"IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of  
personal injury. Follow all local building  
codes when installing the hood.  
– 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.  
– If the exhaust is ducted through an  
outside wall, a 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 6"  
(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.
