Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician. A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check it for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance. The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or nonmains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks, back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that the energy supply system complies with all current local and national requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery systems. The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele product must also be assured in their function and operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation. The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of the rangehood must match the mains electricity supply in order to avoid the risk of damage to the rangehood. Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains electricity. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. Extension leads are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
6

Warning and Safety instructions For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in. This rangehood must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship). Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults. Only open the housing as described in the instructions given in the installation sheet and in the “Cleaning and care” section of this booklet. Under no circumstances should any other parts of the housing be opened. The manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele authorised service technician. If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised service technician or suitably qualified and competent electrician in order to avoid a hazard. During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: – the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions
Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room
Danger of toxic fumes! Great care should be taken when using the rangehood in the same room or the same area of the house as another heating appliance that depends on the air from the room. Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. They include gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops and ovens. The rangehood draws in air from the kitchen and from neighbouring rooms. This applies to the following modes of operation: – extraction mode – recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the room. If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion. Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room. This could have potentially fatal consequences. Risk of death!
8

Warning and Safety instructions
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by a heating appliance from being drawn back into the room, when the rangehood and the heater are both operated simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 Pa) is the maximum permissible. Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. The diameter of the inlet openings must enable sufficient ventilation. A ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to ensure safe ventilation. 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 accordance with national safety regulations) must be sought. If the rangehood is being operated in recirculation mode, whereby the air is redirected into the room in which it is installed, the above restrictions do not apply.
9

Warning and Safety instructions Correct use Open flames are a fire hazard!
Never use an open flame under the rangehood. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on, the rangehood could draw flames into the filter. Kitchen grease deposits could ignite. The rangehood can become damaged when exposed to excessive heat. – When using the rangehood over a gas cooktop, ensure that any
burners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the cooking zone off when a pan is removed, even for a short time. – Select a pan which is suitable for the size of the burner. – Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the pan. – Avoid overheating the pan (e.g. when cooking with a wok). Always switch the rangehood on when a cooking zone is in use, otherwise condensation may collect in the rangehood, which could cause corrosion. Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the rangehood. When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc., do not leave the pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an open grill unattended when grilling.
10

Warning and Safety instructions Do not use the rangehood without the filters in place. This way
you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance and hindering its smooth operation. The rangehood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising from the cooktop. Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the rangehood has cooled down. This rangehood is not suitable for placing objects on. Correct installation To determine whether a rangehood may be operated above your cooking appliance, please refer to the information provided by the appliance’s manufacturer. Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solid fuel stoves. An insufficient safety distance between the stovetop and the rangehood can result in damage to the rangehood. The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop and the bottom of the rangehood given in the “Installation” section of these instructions must be observed, unless the cooktop manufacturer states that a greater safety distance is required. If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the rangehood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the rangehood, select the greater distance. The information provided in “Installation” must be observed when installing the rangehood. There may be a risk of injury due to protruding parts and sharp edges. Wear gloves that offer protection against cuts during assembly.
11

Warning and Safety instructions
All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable material and comply with all relevant national and local building regulations. The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue which is in current use for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Neither should it be connected to ducting which ventilates rooms with fireplaces. If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation duct no longer used for other purposes, seek professional advice.
Cleaning and care There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out as described in these operating instructions. Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine 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 machine warranty.
Accessories and spare parts Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used. Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your appliance.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled. Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Description of the functions
Depending on the model of the rangehood, the following options are available:
Air extraction mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside.
Recirculation mode
(available as an optional extra with a conversion kit and charcoal filter: see “Technical Data”)
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.
16

Operation

Switching the fan on/off
Switch the fan on as soon as you start cooking. This is to ensure that vapours are captured right from the start. Select power levels 1 to 3 for light to heavy cooking vapours, odours or build-up of heat. Increase the power level as the level of vapours, odours or heat increases. For short periods of cooking food with intensive vapours, odours or heat, e.g. when searing meat, select the Booster setting B. Switch the fan on with the fan
switch and select the power level you want.

Switching the cooktop lighting on/off
The cooktop lighting can be switched on and off independently of the fan. Use the lighting switch to switch
the cooktop lighting on (1) or off (0).

Switching back the Booster setting
The fan power level is reduced after 5 minutes when the Booster setting B is selected.

Switching the fan off
It is advisable to run the fan for a few minutes after cooking has finished to neutralise any lingering vapours and odours in the air. To switch off, move the fan switch to
0.

Energy saving tips
This rangehood operates very efficiently and economically. The following will help you to save even more energy when using it: – Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation in the kitchen when cooking. In extraction mode, if there is insufficient air flow the rangehood cannot operate efficiently and this causes increased operating noise levels. – Always cook with the lowest possible setting. This produces fewer cooking vapours, so you can use a lower rangehood power level and therefore benefit from reduced energy consumption. – Check the power level selected on the rangehood. A lower power level is generally sufficient for the majority of cooking. Only use the Booster setting when necessary. – When a large volume of cooking vapours are being produced, switch to a high power level in good time. This is more efficient than operating the rangehood for longer to try to capture cooking vapours which have already been distributed throughout the kitchen. – Make sure that you switch the rangehood off after use. – Clean or change the filters at regular intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce performance, increase the risk of fire and are unhygienic.
18

Cleaning and care

Before carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning, the rangehood must be disconnected from the electricity supply (see “Warning and Safety instructions”).
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 abrasive sponges, or pot scourers or sponges which have been used previously with abrasive cleaning agents.

Important information for appliances with stainless steel surfaces This information does not apply to the control elements. Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel. To prevent the surfaces from quickly becoming dirty again, we recommend treating them with a stainless steel care product (available from Miele). Important for appliances with lacquered casing Minor scratches on the surface are inevitable when cleaning the casing; they may be visible depending on the lighting in the kitchen.

Moisture in the rangehood can
cause damage. Make sure that water does not get into the rangehood.
Clean all surfaces and control elements using a small amount of warm water and dishwashing liquid. Apply with a soft sponge.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.

19

Cleaning and care

Important information for the control elements
If soiling is not removed promptly, it could cause the control elements to alter or discolor. Remove any soiling immediately.
The surface of the control elements can be damaged if they are cleaned using stainless steel cleaning agents. Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the control elements.
Grease filters Fire hazard!
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 vapours, preventing soiling of the rangehood. 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 rangehood and in the kitchen.

Grease filter cleaning intervals Accumulated grease solidifies over a longer period of time and makes cleaning more difficult. The grease filters should therefore be cleaned every 3 to 4 weeks. Removing the grease filter
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 take out the grease filter, release the locking clip on the filter, lower the filter approx. 45°, unhook it at the back and remove it.
Cleaning the grease filters by hand 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.

20

Cleaning and care

Unsuitable cleaning agents Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause damage to the surface of the filters if used regularly. Do not use: – cleaning agents containing descaling
agents, – powder cleaners or cream cleaners, – aggressive all-purpose cleaning
agents or spray cleaners for grease, – oven sprays.
Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher Place the grease filters upright or
slightly inclined in the lower basket. Ensure the spray arm is not obstructed. Use a standard household dishwasher detergent. Select a dishwasher programme with a wash temperature between 50 °C and 65 °C.
Depending on the detergent used, cleaning the filters in the dishwasher may cause the inside filter surfaces to become discoloured. This will not affect the functioning of the grease filters in any way.

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.
Refit the grease filters. When inserting the grease filters, make sure that the latch faces outwards.
If a grease filter is inadvertently fitted upside down, insert a small screwdriver blade into the slit to disengage the clip.
Change grease filters Regular use and cleaning can cause the filter surfaces to wear. If you notice any damage, replace the grease filters. You can obtain grease filters from Miele customer service (see end of these operating instructions) or from your Miele specialist dealer.

After cleaning After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before refitting them.

21

Cleaning and care

NoSmell active charcoal filter
With recirculation mode, a charcoal filter must be fitted in addition to the grease filters. The charcoal filter is designed to absorb cooking odours.

The charcoal filter is fitted in the canopy above the grease filters.

Charcoal filters are available to order via the Miele online shop (see the end of this booklet for contact details) or directly from Miele. The part number of the charcoal filter required is listed under “Technical data”.

Fitting and replacing the charcoal filter Before fitting or replacing the
charcoal filter, the grease filters must first be taken out (see previous section for instructions on how to do this).

Place the charcoal filter in its duct and push it up against the recirculation grille.
Refit the cover and the grease filters.
When to change the NoSmell active charcoal filter Replace the charcoal filter when it no
longer absorbs kitchen odours effectively. It should be replaced at least every 6 months.

Push the cover for the charcoal filter duct slightly to the right and then lower it to remove.

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

Unwrap the charcoal filter from its packaging.

Hang the rangehood on the brackets.

For 150 mm exhaust ducting, cut the exhaust socket to size with a sharp knife. For 125 mm exhaust ducting, the exhaust socket is installed as it is.

Tighten the screws at the back of the rangehood on the left and right. This will adjust the pitch of the rangehood and secure it against being lifted off the mounting plates.
Refit the lamps. Refit the grease filters.

If required, install the non-return flap. Check that the flap opens easily and closes by itself.

INSTALLATION

Installation

Secure the exhaust ducting to the exhaust connection, e.g. with a hose clip (available as an optional accessory) on flexible ducting.
Insert the exhaust socket into the exhaust opening and secure it by turning clockwise.
See “Connection for air extraction” for further instructions on fitting the ducting.
For recirculation mode
Fit the charcoal filter (see “Cleaning and care”).

Mains connection
Refer to the notes in “Electrical connection” and “Warning and Safety instructions” before connecting to the electricity supply.
Plug the connection cable into an electrical socket.
Functional check
To do this, switch the fan on. – In air extraction mode air should not
come out of the air outlet at the front of the rangehood. – In recirculation mode the air should come out of the air outlet at the front of the rangehood. If this does not happen, the deflector is not installed correctly (see “Deflector”).

INSTALLATION

Installation

Electrical connection
The rangehood is supplied with a mains connection cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a suitable earthed socket. If the socket is not easily accessible or if the appliance is to be hard-wired, ensure that a suitable means of disconnection is provided on the installation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the rangehood to multisocket adapters or extension cables can overload the cables. For safety reasons, do not use an extension cable or multi-socket adapter.
All electrical work must be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. For safety reasons, we recommend using a suitable residual current device (RCD) in the relevant electrical installation for connecting the rangehood. If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type (available from Miele). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent electrician or a Miele authorised service technician, in order to avoid a hazard. The data plate indicates the nominal power consumption and the connection data. Compare this information with the data of the on-site electrical 38

connection. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks, back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that the energy supply system complies with all current local and national requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery systems. The protective measures provided in the domestic installation and in this Miele product must also be assured in their function and operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.

INSTALLATION

Installation

Connection for air extraction 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 rangehood at the same time as a heating appliance that relies on oxygen from the same room, which could result in the build-up of toxic fumes. The rangehood should be installed according to local and national building regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible ducting made from approved nonflammable materials for exhaust ducting.
To achieve the most efficient air extraction with the lowest noise levels, please note the following: – The diameter of the exhaust ducting
must not be smaller than the crosssection of the exhaust connection (see “Appliance dimensions”). This is particularly applicable when using flat ducting. – The exhaust ducting must be as short and straight as possible. – Only use wide radius bends. – The exhaust ducting must not be kinked or compressed. – All connections must be strong and airtight.

– If the ducting has flaps, these must be opened when the rangehood is switched on. Any constriction of the airflow will reduce extraction performance and increase operating noise.
Vent flue
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into a vent 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 Make sure you use a non-return flap
in the exhaust air system. A non-return flap ensures that when the rangehood is not in operation, the duct is closed and no exchange of room and outside air can take place. If the exhaust air is ducted through an outside wall, a Miele wall vent or a Miele roof vent (available as an optional accessory) is recommended. These are fitted with an integrated non-return flap. If the on- site exhaust air system does not have a non-return flap, one is supplied with the rangehood.

The non-return flap is fitted to the fan’s exhaust connection.
Condensed water If the exhaust ducting is to run through rooms, ceiling space etc., condensate may form in the ducting due to variations in temperature between the different areas. To minimise temperature variations, the exhaust ducting will need to be suitably insulated. Where ducting is horizontal, it must be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm per metre. The gradient ensures that condensate cannot drain back into the rangehood.

exhaust socket. The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of airflow. Miele will not accept warranty claims for any functional defects or damage caused by inadequate ducting. Silencer

To achieve even further reductions in noise levels, a special silencer (optional accessory) can be fitted in the ducting system.

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 125 mm or 150 mm ducting. When installing a condensate trap, ensure that it is positioned vertically and, if possible, directly above the 40

In extraction mode the silencer not only reduces noise from the fan outside the house, but also sounds from outside which reach the kitchen via the vent ducting (e.g. traffic noise). For this reason, the silencer must be positioned as close as possible to the ducting exit .
