• Older children may only use the rangehood if its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely.
  They must be able to understand and recognise the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.

• Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the supervision of an adult.

• Children should be supervised near the appliance. Ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• The cooktop lighting is very intense.
  Ensure, in particular, that babies/small children do not look directly at the light.

• Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves in packing material or pull it over their heads with the risk of suffocation. Keep children away from any packing material.

Technical safety

• Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service 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.

• 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.

• The lamps are a built-in component of the lighting. Replacement lamps may only be installed by a Miele authorised technician.

• 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.

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 coalfired 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!
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.

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.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

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.

Setting up Con@ctivity
Con@ctivity is the direct communication system between an electric Miele cooktop and a Miele rangehood. It enables the rangehood to operate automatically depending on the operational state of a Miele cooktop with onset controls.

• When the cooktop is switched on, the cooktop lighting on the rangehood comes on independently and, after a short time, the fan also switches on.
• The rangehood selects the power level automatically during cooking. The power level selected by the rangehood depends on the number of cooking zones being used and  their power levels.
• After switching the cooktop off, the fan and the cooktop lighting will switch off automatically after a specified period of time.

See “Operation” for detailed information about this function.

Con@ctivity via the home Wi-Fi network (Con@ctivity 3.0)
Prerequisites :

• Home Wi-Fi network
• Wi-Fi enabled Miele cooktop

● Connect the rangehood and cooktop to your home Wi-Fi network (see “Setting up Miele@home”).
The Con@ctivity function will be activated automatically.

Con@ctivity via a direct Wi-Fi connection (Con@ctivity 3.0)
Prerequisite:

• Wi-Fi enabled Miele cooktop

If you do not have a home network, you can establish a direct connection between the cooktop and the rangehood.

• Touch the On/Off sensor .
  All symbols light up with reduced brightness.

• Press and hold the run-on option control   until the grease filter and charcoal filter symbols light up.

• Touch the 3 control.2 will light up constantly, 3 will flash on and off.
  The rangehood is ready for connection during the next two minutes.

• Start the Wi-Fi connection on the cooktop. For further details, see the  cooktop operating instructionsWhen successfully connected 2 and 3 will light up constantly.

• Quit connection mode on the rangehood by touching the run-on control .

Con@ctivity has now been activated.
With a direct Wi-Fi connection, it is not possible to connect the cooktop and the rangehood to a home network. Should this be required at a later date, the direct Wi-Fi connection between the cooktop and the rangehood must be disconnected first (see “Signing out of Wi-Fi”).

Reattempting the connection

If it is not possible to connect, 2 and 3 flash or the rangehood cancels the process.

• Disconnect the connection to the rangehood (see “Signing out of WiFi”) and to the cooktop.
• Attempt to make the connection again.

Operation (automatic mode)

When Con@ctivity is active, the rangehood always operates in automatic mode (see “Before using for the first time – Setting up Con@ctivity”).
If you wish to manually operate the rangehood, see “Operation (manual mode) – Cooking without Con@ctivity”.

Cooking with Con@ctivity (automatic mode)

• Switch on a cooking zone at any power level.
  The rangehood lighting will come on.

• Pull out the deflector plate.
  The fan will come on at power level 2.
  The rangehood selects the power level automatically during cooking.
  This is determined by the total output of the cooktop, i.e. the number of cooking zones in operation and the power levels selected.

• If you select a higher power level on the cooktop or are using several cooking zones, the rangehood will switch to a higher power level.

• When you reduce the power level on the cooktop or the number of cooking zones being used, the rangehood power level will also be reduced.

Examples for power levels 1 to B

Reaction time
The rangehood reacts with a slight delay because altering the power level on the cooktop does not immediately result in a reduction or increase in cooking vapours.
Because the cooktop transmits the information to the rangehood at intervals, this can also cause delays.
The reaction can vary from a few seconds to a few minutes.

Cooking process

• For example, you switch on a cooking zone at the highest power level to heat a pan for frying. After approx.
  10 seconds to 4 minutes, you then reduce the power level (60 seconds to 5 minutes for a radiant cooktop).

The rangehood recognises a cooking process.
The rangehood switches itself on and when the cooktop power level has been reduced, the rangehood switches to power level 3 and remains at that level for approx. 5 minutes.
After that the rangehood power level is determined automatically by the Con@ctivity function.
You can select another power level manually before then.

Switching off

• Switch off all cooking zones.

The rangehood fan will reduce its power level in stages over the next few minutes and will then switch itself off.
This helps to neutralise any lingering vapours and odours in the air.

• From the Booster setting, the fan 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 fan switches itself off.
• After another 30 seconds, the cooktop lighting switches off.

The cooking process is then finished.
If the deflector plate remains pulled out, the rangehood will be switched on automatically the next time the cooktop is switched on:
The fan switches on a few seconds after the cooktop switches on, initially at level 2, before immediately changing to level 1. Operation then continues automatically.

Leaving automatic mode temporarily
To leave automatic mode temporarily during cooking:

• Manually select a different power level, or
• Manually switch the rangehood off, or
• Activate the run-on function on the rangehood. The fan will switch itself off after the selected run-on time, and the lighting will remain on.

The rangehood functions are now operated manually (see “Operation (manual mode)”).

Returning to automatic mode
The rangehood returns to automatic mode:

• if the rangehood has not been used for approx. 5 minutes after selecting a power level manually, or
• if the manually selected power level corresponds to the automatic one again, or
• the rangehood fan 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 rangehood manually for a complete cooking process.

• To do so switch the rangehood fan on before the cooktop.

If the rangehood fan 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.

Operation (manual mode)

Cooking without Con@ctivity (manual mode)
The rangehood can be operated manually if:

• the Con@ctivity function is not activated.
• You have temporarily deactivated the Con@ctivity function (see “Operation (manual operation) – Leaving automatic mode temporarily”).

Switching the fan on
Switch the fan on as soon as you start cooking. This is to ensure that vapours are captured right from the start.

• Pull out the deflector plate. To ensure optimum extraction and a low noise level, pull the canopy all the way out.

The fan will switch on at power level 2.

Selecting a power level
For light to heavy cooking vapours and odours, select from power levels 1 to 3. For short periods of cooking food with intensive vapours and a strong aroma, e.g. when searing meat, select Booster setting B.

• Select the power level required by touching a control from 1 to B.

Selecting the second Booster level

• When you select the Booster level, the B. symbol lights up. To increase the power level further, touch B again.

The B : symbol lights up.
The second Booster level is activated.
The air throughput is increased for a short time.

Switching back the Booster levels
If Power management is activated (default setting), the first Booster level B . automatically switches back to level 3 after 5 minutes.
The second Booster level B : switches  back after 2 minutes (even if Power management is deactivated).

Selecting the run-on time
It is advisable to run the fan for a few minutes after cooking has finished. This helps to remove any lingering vapours and odours from the air.
It also reduces the risk of residues accumulating in the rangehood and any resultant odours.
The run-on function allows the fan to continue to run for a pre-determined time before switching itself off automatically.

• After you have finished cooking, touch the run-on control with the fan still switched on:
  – Once: the fan will switch itself off after 5 minutes (5 lights up).
  – Twice: The fan will switch itself off after 15 minutes ( 15 lights up).
  – If you touch the run-on control again, the fan will remain switched on ( will go out).

Switching the fan off

• Touching the control for the active power level again switches the fan off.
• Also, when you slide in the vapor screen, the blower turns off.

Dimming/Switching the cooktop lighting on/off

• You can switch the cooktop lighting on by pulling the deflector plate out and off by pushing it in.

• When the deflector plate is pulled out, you can switch the cooktop lighting on and off with the lighting control .
  The lighting will switch on at maximum brightness. All 3 bars next to the lighting control light up.

• To change the brightness, press and hold the lighting control with the lighting switched on. The brightness will gradually dim until you release the control.

• To increase the brightness, press and hold the lighting control again until the desired level has been reached and then release it.

• Alternatively, you can select 3 brightness levels by touching the bars next to the lighting control .

Safety switch-off

• To switch back on, press the On/Off control .

All settings are made with the rangehood switched off.

• Pull out the deflector plate and switch off the fan and the lighting.

Altering the grease filter operating hours counter
You can set the operating hours counter to suit the type of cooking you do.
The factory setting is a cleaning interval of 30 hours.

• Select a shorter time of 20 hours if you fry a lot.
• If you only cook occasionally, we recommend that you still select a short time for the counter. This is to prevent grease from hardening on the filter and making cleaning more difficult.
• Select a longer time of 40 or 50 hours if you use very little fat for cooking.
• Touch the On/Off sensor .

All symbols light up with reduced brightness.

• Press and hold the run-on option control  until the grease filter and charcoal filter symbols light up.

Regardless of the previous setting, the buzzer will be reactivated when power is restored to the rangehood after it has been disconnected from the mains electricity supply or after a power cut.

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.
• 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 rangehood will switch on and off automatically. The rangehood will select the optimum power level for the cooking you are doing, which ensures low energy consumption.
• If you are operating the rangehood manually, please note the following:
• Check the power level selected on the rangehood. A low power level is usually sufficient. 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.
  If cooking vapours and odours still need to be removed from the kitchen air after cooking, use the run-on function. The fan will switch off automatically after the selected run-on time.

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

The surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasion.
Please observe the following cleaning instructions.

• All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned using warm water with a small amount of washing-up liquid applied with a well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.
• After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.

Do not use:

• cleaning agents containing soda, acids, chlorides or solvents,
• abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners or cream cleaners and abrasive sponges, as well as pot scourers or sponges which have been used previously with abrasive cleaning agents. These will damage the surface material.

Important information for appliances with stainless steel surfaces
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 glass surfaces

• Glass surfaces can be cleaned using a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on glass.

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.
The operating hours control reminds you to regularly clean the grease filters by illuminating the grease filter symbol .

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.

• Remove the grease filters from the slots on the front of the housing.

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-upliquid. Do not use undiluted washing up liquid.

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.

After cleaning

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

Resetting the grease filter operating hours counter
After cleaning, the operating hours counter needs to be reset.

• While the fan is switched on, press the grease filter control for approx. 3 seconds until only 1 is flashing.
  The grease filter symbol   goes out.

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.

NoSmell active charcoal filters
With recirculation mode, two charcoal filters must be fitted in addition to the grease filters. These are designed to absorb cooking odours.
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/Replacing the charcoal filters The slots for the charcoal filters are located above the grease filters.

• Take the lid off. It is held in place by magnets.
• Take the charcoal filters out of their packaging.
• Insert the charcoal filters in the slots as far as they will go.
• Refit the lid.

When to change the NoSmell active charcoal filters
Replace the charcoal filters when they no longer absorb kitchen odours effectively, or at least every 6 months.
The operating hours counter will remind you to replace the charcoal filters by lighting up the charcoal filter symbol .

Resetting the charcoal filter operating hours counter
After changing the charcoal filters, the operating hours counter needs to be reset.

• Touch the charcoal filter control for approx. 3 seconds with the rangehood switched on until only the indicator light for level 1 is flashing.
  The charcoal filter symbol goes out.

Disposing of the charcoal filters

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

Reactivatable charcoal filters
Reactivatable charcoal filters are available for this rangehood. They can be used several times after being reactivated in the oven.
Please follow the operating instructions supplied with the filter.

• Bend out the tab, e.g. with a screwdriver. The charcoal filter can be pulled out at the tab for removal.
• Insert the charcoal filters in the slots as far as they will go.
• Refit the lid.

Installation

Before installation

Before installation, it is important to read the information given on the following pages as well as the “Warning and Safety instructions” at the beginning of this booklet.

Installation recommendations

• To achieve optimum vapour extraction, the rangehood must be positioned centrally over the cooktop, not to the side.
• The cooktop should be no wider than the rangehood and, if possible, it should be narrower, especially for safety distances greater than 750 mm.
• The installation area must be easily accessible. The rangehood should be easily accessible and easy to dismantle in the event that service is required. This should be taken into consideration when planning the position of cupboards, shelves, ceilings or features in the vicinity of the rangehood.

Safety distance (S)

The minimum distances between the cooking surface of a cooktop (pan support(s) for gas models) and the bottom of the rangehood are as follows, unless a greater distance is specified by the manufacturer of your cooking appliance. See also “Warning and Safety instructions”.

Multi-burner gas cooktop with maximum 45.4 MJ/h total output, with no burner having a greater output than 16.2 MJ/h.| 650 mm
Multi-burner gas cooktop with total output greater than 45.4 MJ/h, but with a maximum of 77.8 MJ/h, with no burner having a greater output than 17.3 MJ/h.| 760 mm
Multi-burner gas cooktop with total output greater than 77.8 MJ/h, with a single burner having a greater output than 17.3 MJ/h.| Not possible
Single burner gas cooktop with a maximum output of 21.6 MJ/h.| 650 mm
Single burner gas cooktop with an output greater than 21.6 MJ/h, but with a maximum of 29.2 MJ/h.| 760 mm
Single burner gas cooktop with an output greater than 29.2 MJ/h.| Not possible

Adjusting the vapour shield

When retracted, the deflector plate is held in place by magnets.
The retaining force of the magnets can be adjusted. The magnets should be adjusted such that the deflector plate is held in place securely on the left and right hand side and can be lowered slightly. An angled key is supplied for adjusting the magnets.

•  Adjust both sides equally. Turn in stages by a half turn each time and check the adjustment by lowering and raising the deflector plate.
  – Turning the adjusting screws clockwise increases the magnetic retaining force.
  – Turning the adjusting screws anticlockwise reduces the magnetic retaining force.

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.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 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 ductingsystem.In extraction mode the silencer not only  reduces noise from the fan outside thehouse, 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 1.In recirculation mode the silencer needs to be positioned between the exhaust connection and the exhaust grille 2.
Please ensure there is adequate installation space.

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 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.
