Functional description
The ventilation hood works by air
extraction. 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. When the hood is
turned on, the air pressure of the
exhaust fan automatically opens the
flap blowing the inside air and cooking
odors outside.

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
discolored or damaged if not
cleaned regularly.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
on these controls.
^ All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned with warm water and
liquid dish soap applied with a soft
sponge.
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Do not use too much water 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 or chlorides,
– 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 filters
^ In a dishwasher: place the filters
vertically in the lower basket, making
sure that the spray arm is not
blocked.
The reusable metal grease filters
remove solid particles from the vented
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).
Use a hot temperature program, e.g.
"Heavy Soil" or "Pots and pans".
Use the recommended amount of
dishwasher detergent. Overuse could
destroy the filter.
The grease filters should be cleaned
every 3 - 4 weeks or whenever the
grease filter indicator lights.
Depending on the detergent,
cleaning the grease filters in a
dishwasher may cause permanent
discoloration of the filter surface.
Performance of the filter will not be
affected by this discoloration.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
^ After cleaning, the filters can be
placed on a towel to air dry.
^ While the filters are removed, clean
any dirt or grease from the filter
casing to prevent the risk of fire.
When putting the grease filters back
make sure that the locking clips are
visible facing down towards the
cooking surface.
^ To remove the grease filters pull the
locking clips, 1, forward. Lower the
filter 45°, 2, unhook it at the rear, 3,
and take it out. Support the grease
filter so that it does not fall onto the
cooktop.
If the filters are incorrectly installed,
insert a small screwdriver into the slit
along its edge to disengage it from the
casing.
^ After returning the grease filters,
press the grease filter button for
3 seconds to reset the timer. The
indicator light will go out.
Cleaning the grease filters
^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a
solution of warm water and mild
detergent.
^ If the grease filters are 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.
Do not use the pure detergent,
aggessive all purpose cleaners, oven
sprays or limescale removers. They
could destroy the filters.

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
– If the exhaust is ducted into an
inactive flue, the air must be expelled
parallel to the flow direction of the
flue.
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.
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.
