Operation (Automatic mode)

Examples for power levels 1 to B
Reaction time
Changing the power setting on the cooktop does not lead to an immediate increase or decrease in cooking vapors. For this reason, the hood reacts with a slight delay.
Delays can also result from the fact that the cooktop transmits the information to the hood in intervals.
The reaction time can vary from a few seconds to a couple of minutes.
Cooking process

• For example, you switch on a burner at the highest power level to heat cookware for frying. After approx. 10 seconds to 4 minutes, you then reduce the power level (60 seconds to 5 minutes for a HiLight cooktop). The ventilation hood recognizes a cooking process.

The ventilation hood turns itself on and when the cooktop power level has been reduced, the ventilation hood switchesto power level 3 and remains at that level for approx. 5 minutes.
After this, the blower level is once again determined by the Con@ctivity function.
You can also manually select a different blower level before then.
Switching off

• Turn off all burners.
  Over the next few minutes, the ventilation hood blower setting will decrease one level at a time until the hood eventually turns off.
  This helps to neutralize any lingering vapors and odors in the air.
  – From the Booster setting, the blower switches immediately to level 3.
  – From level 3, it will switch to level 2 after approx. 1 minute.
  – From level 2, it will switch to level 1 after 2 minutes.
  – After 2 minutes at level 1, the blower automatically turns off.
  – After another 30 seconds, the overhead lighting turns off.
  The cooking process is then finished.

Temporarily exiting Automatic mode
To temporarily exit Automatic mode when cooking:

• Manually select a different blower level; or
• Manually turn the ventilation hood off; or
• Activate the delayed shutdown function on the ventilation hood.

The blower will switch itself off after the selected run-on time, and the lighting will remain on.
The ventilation hood functions are now operated manually (see “Operation (Manual mode)”).
Resuming Automatic mode
The ventilation hood resumes Automatic mode:

• If the ventilation hood has not been used for a period of approx. 5 minutes after the manual selection of a blower level; or

• If the manually selected blower level once again matches the automatic setting; or

• The ventilation hood blower and the cooktop have been switched off for  at least 30 seconds.Automatic mode will resume next time the cooktop is switched on.
  You can also operate the ventilation hood manually for a complete cooking process.

• To do so, switch the ventilation hood blower on before the cooktop.
  If the ventilation hood and the cooktop have been switched off for at least 30 seconds after cooking, Automatic mode will resume next time the cooktop is switched on.

Cooking without Con@ctivity (Manual mode)
The ventilation hood can be operated manually if:

• The Con@ctivity function is not activated.
• You have temporarily deactivated the Con@ctivity function (see “Operation (Automatic mode) – Temporarily exiting Automatic mode”).

Indicators 1 and 2 ……………………. 50%
Indicators 1 to 3 ……………………… 75%
Indicators 1 to B ……………………. 100%
The number of elapsed operating hours remains stored in memory when the ventilation hood is turned off or if there is a power outage.

Energy-saving tips

This hood operates in a very efficient and energy-saving manner. The following will help you to save even more energy when using it:

• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the kitchen when cooking. If there is insufficient air flow during extraction mode, the hood cannot operate efficiently, causing increased operating noise levels.
• Always cook with the lowest possible setting. This produces fewer cooking  vapors so that you can use a lowerhood power level and therefore benefit from reduced energy consumption.
• Clean or change the filters at regular intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce performance, increase the risk of fire and are unhygienic.
• Use the Con@ctivity function. The ventilation hood will switch on and off automatically. The ventilation hood will select the optimum power level for the cooking you are doing, which ensures low energy consumption.
• If you are operating the ventilation hood manually, please note the following:
• Check the power level selected on the ventilation hood. A low power level is usually sufficient. Only use the Booster setting when necessary.
• When a large volume of cooking vapors are being produced, switch to a high power level in good time. This is more efficient than operating the hood for longer to try to capture cooking vapors that have already been distributed  throughout the kitchen.
• Make sure that you switch off the hood after use. If cooking vapors and odors still  need to be removed from the kitchen air after cooking, use the delayed shutdown function. The blower will switch off automatically after the selected delayed shutdown time.

Cleaning and care

Before proceeding with any maintenance or cleaning task, the ventilation hood must be disconnected from the power supply, see “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.
Stainless steel housing
General information
Unsuitable cleaning agents can damage the surfaces and control elements.
Do not use any cleaning agents containing soda, acid, chloride, or solvent.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents, e.g., powder cleaners or  cream cleaners and abrasivesponges, as well as pot scourers or sponges which have been used previously with abrasive cleaning  agents
Moisture in the ventilation hood can cause damage.
Make sure that water does not get into the ventilation hood.

• Clean all surfaces and control buttons using a small amount of warm water and liquid dish soap. Apply with a sponge cloth.
• After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.

Grease filters
Risk of fire Oversaturated grease filters are a fire hazard.
Clean the grease filters at regular intervals.
The re-usable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen vapors, preventing soiling of the ventilation hood.
The grease filters must be cleaned at regular intervals.
Heavily soiled grease filters hinder air extraction and will lead to increased levels of soiling in the ventilation hood and in the kitchen.
Cleaning intervals
Accumulated grease solidifies over a longer period of time and makes  cleaning more difficult. The grease filters should therefore be cleaned every3 to 4 weeks.
Removing the grease filters
When handling the grease filter, be careful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter and the cooktop below.
Make sure you hold the filter securely at all times when handling it.

•  To remove a grease filter, release the locking clip. Then, open the filter to a 45° angle, unhook it, and remove it from the hood.

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

• Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and dish soap. Do not use undiluted dish soap.

Unsuitable cleaning agents
Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage to the filter surfaces if used regularly. Do not use any of the following:

• Lime removers
• Abrasive powders or abrasive liquids
• Aggressive all-purpose cleaners and degreaser sprays
• Oven sprays

Cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher

• Place the grease filters upright or slightly inclined in the lower basket. Ensure the spray arm is not obstructed.
• Use a commonly available household dishwashing detergent.
• In a Miele dishwasher use the “Normal” program.

Depending on the detergent used, cleaning the filters in a dishwasher may cause the inside filter surfaces to become discolored. However, this will not affect the functioning of the grease filters in any way.
After cleaning

• After cleaning, leave the filters on an absorbent surface to dry.
• When removing the filters for cleaning, also clean off any accessible oil or fat buildup from the housing. Doing so will prevent a fire hazard.

Resetting the filter saturation indicator for the grease filters
Once cleaning is complete, the filter saturation indicator must be reset.

• While the blower is turned on, press the filter saturation indicator for approx. 3 seconds until 1 is the only indicator flashing.

The grease filter symbol goes out.
When cleaning the grease filters before the full operating time has elapsed:

• Press the filter saturation indicator for approx. 6 seconds until 1 is the only indicator flashing.
• Reinsert the grease filters. When inserting the grease filters, make surthat the locking clip is facing outward.
• If a grease filter is inadvertently fitted upside down, insert a small screwdriver blade into the slit to disengage the clip.

Replacing the grease filter
Regular usage and cleaning can cause the filter surfaces to become worn.
If you identify any damage, replace the grease filters.
Grease filters are available to order via Miele Customer Service (see end of these operating instructions for contact details) or from your Miele dealer.
OdorFree Charcoal Filter
With recirculation mode, two charcoal filters must be fitted in addition to the grease filters. These are designed to absorb cooking odors.
The charcoal filters are fitted in the canopy above the grease filters.
Charcoal filters are available to order via the Miele Web Store (see end of this booklet for contact details), or from your Miele dealer. The charcoal filters are listed under “Technical data” at the back of this booklet.
Installing/replacing the charcoal filters

• Before installing or replacing the charcoal filters, you must first remove the grease filters (see previous section for instructions).
• Take the charcoal filters out of their packaging.
• Press the filters into the frame.
• Reinstall the grease filters.

When to change the OdorFree Charcoal Filter
Replace the charcoal filters when they no longer absorb kitchen odors effectively, and at least every 6 months. The filter saturation indicator reminds you to regularly replace the charcoal filters by illuminating the charcoal filter symbol .
Resetting the filter saturation indicator for the charcoal filters
After changing the charcoal filters, the filter saturation indicator must be reset.

• To do this, press the filter saturation indicator twice with the blower turned on and hold it for approx. 3 seconds until 1 is the only indicator flashing.

The charcoal filter symbol will go out.
If you want to replace the charcoal filters before the full operating time elapses:

• Press the filter saturation indicator twice and hold it for approx. 6 seconds until 1 is the only indicator flashing.

Disposing of charcoal filters

• Used charcoal filters can be disposed of with normal household waste.

Changing a light bulb
Only use the specified light bulbs.
Other bulbs, for example halogen bulbs, may become damaged due to the high generation of heat.
The light bulbs should be replaced with the following:
Bulb type ………………………… LED, GU10
Power ……………………………………….. 3W
Light bulbs are available from Miele or specialist dealers.

• Turn off the blower and the lighting.

• The light bulbs can get very hot when in use.
  Allow the bulbs to cool down for a few minutes before changing them.

• Disconnect the hood from the electrical supply before replacing the light bulbs (see “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”).

• Insert the lever supplied into the gap between the bulb and the bulb holder..
  The bulb will then drop downwards.

• Grip the light bulb, turn it counterclockwise and take it out.

• Screw the new bulb into the socket and push it upwards. Please follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions.

Installation recommendations

• To achieve optimum vapor extraction, the hood must be centered over the cooktop, not to the side.
• The mounting area must be easily accessible. The ventilation hood should be easy to reach and disassemble in case a service call is necessary. This should be taken into consideration when planning the position of cabinetry, shelves, ceilings or decorative elements in the vicinity of the ventilation hood.

Air venting
WARNING: 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.
Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or in attics, crawl spaces or garages.
To reduce the risk of fire, only use metal ductwork.
Please read and follow the “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” to reduce the risk of personal injury. Follow all local building codes when installing the hood.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible ducting made from approved nonflammable materials for ducting.
To achieve the most efficient air throughput with the lowest noise levels, please note the following:

• The diameter of the vent ducting must not be smaller than the crosssection of the vent collar (see “Appliance dimensions”).
• This applies in particular when using flat ducting.
• The ducting should be as short and straight as possible.
• Only use wide radius bends.
• The ducting must not be kinked or compressed.
• All connections must be strong and airtight.
• If the ducting has flaps, these must be opened whenever the ventilation hood is switched on.

Any constriction of the air throughput will reduce extraction performance and increase operating noise.
Ventilation stack

If the exhaust air is to be ducted into a flue, the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.
If the flue is used by several ventilation units, the cross-section of the flue must be large enough.
Non-return flap

• Use a non-return flap in the vent system.

A non-return flap ensures that when the ventilation hood is not in operation, the duct is closed to prevent unwanted exchange of room air and outside air.
If the exhaust is ducted through an outside wall, a Miele wall vent or roof vent (available as an optional accessory) is recommended. Both of these have a built-in non-return flap. If the on-site vent system does not have a non- return flap, one is supplied with the ventilation hood.
The non-return flap is installed in the exhaust socket of the fan. Condensate
If the ducting is to run through cool rooms or ceiling space, for example, the significant variations in temperature between the different areas can cause condensate to form. Insulate the ducting to reduce temperature variations.
If the ducting is to be laid horizontally, it must be laid with a downwards sloping gradient of at least ³/₈” (1 cm) per meter. This is to ensure that condensate cannot drain back into the ventilation hood.In addition to insulating the ducting, it is advisable to also install a condensate trap for collecting and evaporating any potential condensate.
Condensate traps for 5″ (125 mm) or 6″ (150 mm) diameter ducting are available as optional accessories.
When installing a condensate trap, ensure that it is positioned vertically and as closely as possible to the ventilation hood above the exhaust vent. The arrow on the casing indicates the direction of airflow.
Miele will not accept warranty claims for any functional defects or damage caused by inadequate ducting.
Reducing Collar
(optional accessory)If you would like to reduce the environmental impact of your ventilation system by limiting the CFM output the Reducing Collar can be installed. It reduces the air flow to less than 400 CFM. Check local building codes for max. CFM requirements.

• Push the Reducing Collar on the exhaust port of the blower.
• Push the exhaust hose over it.
• Secure both with a hose clamp.
