qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance,
continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system.
It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any
doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified
electrician. Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply
system or a power supply system that is not synchronized with the grid power
supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite
for operation is that the power supply system complies with national and local
codes. The function and operation of the protective measures provided in the
domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must also be
maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not synchronized with
the grid power supply, or these measures must be replaced by equivalent
measures in the installation. To avoid damaging the ventilation hood, make
sure that the connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate
correspond to the building’s power supply before connecting the appliance. If
in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Do not use a power bar or extension
cord to connect the ventilation hood to electricity. These are a fire hazard
and do not guarantee the required level of appliance safety. To ensure safe
operation, only use the ventilation hood after it has been properly installed.
This ventilation hood may not be used in non-stationary locations (e.g. on a
ship). Adequate ventilation must be provided when the hood is operated
simultaneously with devices that burn gas or other fuels.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Open flames are a fire hazard. The use of an open flame under the ventilation
hood is not permitted. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill
over an open flame. When switched on, the ventilation hood could draw flames
into the filter. Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard. WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: – a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting lid, cookie
sheet, or
metal tray then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the
flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. – b)
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned. – c) DO NOT USE WATER,
including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result. –
d) Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You have a class ABC extinguisher, and you know how to operate it. 2)
The fire is small and contained in the area where it started. 3) The fire
department is being called. 4) You can fight the fire with your back to an
exit.
Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA. The ventilation hood may become damaged if exposed to excessive heat from a gas cooktop. – When using the ventilation hood over a gas cooktop, ensure that
any burners in use are always covered by cookware. Turn burners off when
removing the cookware, even if doing so for just a short time. – Select
cookware that is suitable for the size of the burner. – Adjust the flame so
that it never extends up the sides of the cookware. – Avoid overheating the
cookware (e.g., when cooking with a wok).
8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Always turn the ventilation hood on whenever a
burner is in use to
prevent damage from condensation. Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing
fire damage to the ventilation hood. Do not leave cookware, pans, and deep-fat
fryers unattended when cooking with oil or fat. Similarly, never leave an open
flame unattended when grilling. Fat and debris deposits impair the proper
functioning of the ventilation hood. To ensure that cooking vapors are
properly cleaned, never use the ventilation hood without the grease filters in
place. Please note that the heat rising from the stovetop during cooking can
cause the ventilation hood to become very hot. Do not touch the housing or the
grease filters until the ventilation hood has cooled down.

Operation (Automatic mode)
When Con@ctivity is active, the ventilation hood always operates in automatic
mode (see “Before using for the first time Setting up Con@ctivity”). If you
wish to operate the ventilation hood manually; see “Operation (Manual mode)
Cooking without Con@ctivity”.
Cooking with Con@ctivity (Automatic mode)
Turn on a burner to the desired power setting.
The overhead lighting will come on. After a few seconds, the blower will come
on, briefly operating at power level 2 before immediately switching to level
- The ventilation hood selects the power level automatically during cooking. This level is determined by the total output of the cooktop, i.e., the number of burners in operation and the power levels selected. If you select a higher power level on the cooktop or switch on multiple burners, the ventilation hood will switch to a higher blower level. If you select a lower power level on the cooktop or turn off a burner, the ventilation hood will accordingly switch to a lower blower level.
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 switches to 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.
27
Operation (Automatic mode)
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.
28
Operation (Manual mode)
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”).
Turning on the blower
Switch the blower on as soon as you start cooking. This is to ensure that
vapors are captured right from the start. Touch the On/Off control . The
blower switches on at power level 2.
Selecting the power level
Power levels 1 to 3 are available for light to heavy cooking vapors and odors.
For strong vapors and odors that are temporarily produced when cooking, e.g.,
during searing, select the B booster level. Select the power level required by
tapping a button from 1 to B.
Reducing power down from the Booster setting If power management is activated
(default setting), the blower automatically switches back to level 3 after 5
minutes.
Selecting the delayed shutdown time
It is advisable to run the blower for a few minutes after cooking has
finished. This helps to neutralize any lingering vapors and odors in the air.
It also reduces the risk of residues accumulating in the ventilation hood and
any resultant odors. The delayed shutdown function enables the blower to
continue running for a pre-determined time before switching itself off
automatically. After you have finished cooking,
touch the delayed shutdown control . – Once: blower switches off after 5
minutes (5 lights up). – Twice: blower switches off after 15 minutes ( 15
lights up). – If you touch the delayed shutdown control again, the blower will
remain switched on ( will go out).
Turning off the blower
Press the On/Off control to turn the blower off.
Dimming/switching the overhead lighting on/off
The overhead lighting can be switched on and off and dimmed independently of
the blower. Touch the lighting control briefly to
switch it on or off. The lighting will switch on at maximum brightness.
29
Operation (Manual mode)
With the lighting switched on, press and hold the lighting control . 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.
Power management
The ventilation hood is equipped with a power management system. Power
management helps to save energy. It ensures that the blower power level is
reduced automatically and that the lighting is switched off. – If the booster
level is selected, the
blower automatically switches to level 3 after 5 minutes. – If the blower is
set to level 3, 2, or 1, it switches back one blower setting after 2 hours and
then in 30-minute intervals until the blower eventually switches off. – The
overhead lighting will switch off automatically after 12 hours. You can
deactivate power management. Keep in mind that this may increase energy
consumption.
Activating/deactivating power management Switch off the blower and the
lighting. Touch the delayed shutdown
control for approx. 10 seconds, until 1 lights up in the power level display.
Then press in order:
– the lighting control , – the 1 control, and then – the lighting control .
When power management is turned on, the 1 and B indicators will be
continuously lit. When it is turned off, the 1 and B indicators will flash.
Touch the 1 control to deactivate
power management. The 1 and B indicators will flash. Touch the B control to
activate power
management. The 1 and B indicators will be continuously lit. Confirm the
setting by pressing the
delayed shutdown control . All the indicator lights will go out. If you do not
confirm the new setting within 4 minutes, the ventilation hood will revert to
the previous setting.
Safety shut-off
If power management has been deactivated, the ventilation hood will switch
itself off automatically after 12 hours if it has been left on (blower and
overhead lighting). To switch it back on, press the On/
Off control or the lighting control .
30
Operation (Automatic and Manual modes)
Filter saturation indicator
The ventilation hood registers the length of time it has been operated. The
filter saturation indicators show when the filters need to be cleaned or
changed by lighting up the grease filter symbol or charcoal filter symbol .
Additional information on cleaning and changing the filters and resetting the
filter saturation indicators can be found under “Cleaning and care”.
Adjusting the grease filter filter saturation indicator The filter saturation
indicator can be set to suit the customer’s cooking habits. The factory
default setting is a cleaning interval of 30 hours. – Select a shorter
interval of 20 hours if
food is fried regularly. – A shorter cleaning interval is also
recommended if the customer only cooks occasionally. This will prevent grease
buildup from hardening and making cleaning more difficult. – Select a longer
cleaning interval of 40 or 50 hours if the customer uses very little fat when
cooking.
Switch off the blower and the lighting. Touch the delayed shutdown
control and the grease filter control at the same time. The grease filter
symbol and one of the blower power level indicators will flash. The indicators
1 to B show the current time setting: 1……………………………………….. 20 hours
2……………………………………….. 30 hours 3……………………………………….. 40 hours B ………………………………………. 50
hours Touch the relevant control to select the duration required. Confirm your
choice by touching the grease filter control . All the indicator lights will
go out. If the new setting is not confirmed within 4 minutes, the ventilation
hood will revert to the previous setting.
31
Operation (Automatic and Manual modes)
Adjusting or deactivating the filter saturation indicator for the charcoal
filter The charcoal filter is needed for recirculation mode. The filter
saturation indicator can be set to suit the customer’s cooking habits. It has
to be deactivated for vented mode. The factory default setting is an interval
of 180 hours. Switch off the blower and the lighting. Touch the delayed
shutdown
control and the charcoal filter control at the same time. The charcoal filter
symbol and one of the blower power level indicators will flash. The indicators
1 to B show the current time setting: 1……………………………………… 120 hours
2……………………………………… 180 hours 3……………………………………… 240 hours B …………………………………..
Deactivated Touch the relevant control to select the duration required.
Confirm your choice by touching the charcoal filter control . All the
indicator lights will go out. If the new setting is not confirmed within 4
minutes, the ventilation hood will revert to the previous setting.
Checking the filter saturation indicator Before the set operating time has run
out, you can check what percentage of the time has elapsed. Press the On/Off
control to turn
the blower on. Press and hold the grease filter
control or the charcoal filter control . One or more of the power level
indicators will flash. The number of flashing indicators shows the elapsed
operating time as a percentage. 1 …………………………………………… 25 % 1 and 2
…………………………………. 50 % 1 to 3 ……………………………………. 75 % 1 to B ………………………………….. 100 %
The elapsed operating time remains stored in the memory when the ventilation
hood is turned off or in the event of an interruption to the power supply.
32
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 lower hood 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.
33
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
The surfaces and control buttons
are susceptible to scratching and chipping. Observe the following cleaning
instructions.
Clean all surfaces and control buttons using warm water and liquid dish soap.
Apply with a sponge cloth.
After cleaning, dry the surfaces with a soft cloth.
Avoid the following: – Cleaners containing soda, acid or
chloride, or cleaners containing solvents – Abrasive cleaners such as scouring
powder, scouring liquid, abrasive sponges such as pot scourers, or used
sponges that still contain residues from abrasive cleaners
Important information for appliances with stainless steel surfaces Stainless

34
Cleaning and care
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.
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.
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 every 3 to 4 weeks. The filter saturation indicator reminds you to
regularly clean the grease filters by illuminating the grease filter symbol .
You can adjust the interval for the filter saturation indicator to match your
cooking habits (see “Operation (Automatic and Manual modes)”).
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.
35
Cleaning and care
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. Reinsert the grease filters. When
inserting the grease filters, make sure that the locking clip is facing
outward. 36
If a grease filter is inadvertently fitted upside down, insert a small
screwdriver blade into the slit to disengage the clip.
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, touch
the grease filter control for approx. 3 seconds, until only the 1 is flashing.
The grease filter symbol goes out. When cleaning the grease filters before the
full operating time has elapsed: Touch the grease filter control for approx. 6
seconds, until only the 1 is flashing.
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.
Cleaning and care
OdorFree 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 odors. The
charcoal filter is fitted in the canopy above the grease filters. How to
install/replace a charcoal filter Remove the grease filters before
fitting or replacing a charcoal filter. Take the charcoal filter out of its
packaging.
Slide the filter into the back of the intake frame, then push the front of the
filter up into the frame.
Reinsert the grease filters.
When to change the OdorFree Charcoal Filter Replace the charcoal filter when
it no
longer absorbs kitchen odors effectively. It should be replaced at least every
6 months. The filter saturation indicator reminds you to regularly replace the
charcoal filter 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.
Touch the charcoal filter control for
approx. 3 seconds with the blower switched on until only the indicator light
for level 1 is flashing. The charcoal filter symbol will go out. If you want
to replace the charcoal filter before the full operating time elapses: Touch
the charcoal filter control for approx. 6 seconds until only the indicator
light for level 1 is flashing.
Disposing of charcoal filters Used charcoal filters can be disposed
of with normal household waste. Charcoal filters are available to order via

Installation recommendations
– A distance of at least 26″ (660 mm) is recommended above electric cooktops
to provide more workspace and easier cooking under the hood.
– When selecting an installation height, always take the user height into
consideration. Users should have ample space to work comfortably on the
cooktop and reach the ventilation hood controls with ease.
– Please note that the greater the distance from the cooktop, the less
effective the hood is at drawing in the cooking vapors.
– To achieve optimum vapor extraction, the hood must be centered over the
cooktop, not to the side.
– The cooktop should be no wider than the hood. Preferably, it should be
narrower for better extraction.
– 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.
Drilling diagram for wall mounting
Please follow the directions given in the installation instructions supplied
for drilling.
When installing a custom back wall with pre-drilled holes, please refer to the
drilling distances in the drawing above (screws ³/” (5 mm)).
42
INSTALLATION
Plywood backing
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.
If plywood backing is not needed, proceed to the included “Installation
diagram”.
To install a plywood backing
Installation
Make a cutting line 3″ (76 mm) above and 3″ (76 mm) below the outline of the
retaining plate.
Find the studs to the left and right of the mounting location by tapping the
wall or using a stud finder.
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.
Proceed to the enclosed “Installation diagram” to complete the installation.
Determine and mark the location of the retaining plate for the canopy as outlined on the “Installation diagram”. 43
INSTALLATION
Installation
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.
44
INSTALLATION
Installation
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/” (1 cm) per meter. This is to ensure
that condensate cannot drain back into the ventilation hood.
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)
In addition to insulating the ducting, it is advisable to also install a condensate trap for collecting and evaporating any potential condensate.
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.
