IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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. Proper installation WARNING: TO REDUCE
THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
– a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including
fire-rated construction. – b) Sufficient air is needed for combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney of fuel burning equipment to
prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline
and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities. – c) When
cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring
and other hidden utilities. – d) Ducted hoods must always be vented to the
outdoors. – e) Do not use this hood with any solid-state speed control device.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS To determine whether a ventilation hood may be
operated above
your cooking appliance, please refer to the information provided by the
appliance’s manufacturer. Safety regulations prohibit the installation of a
ventilation hood over solid fuel stoves. An insufficient safety distance
between the cooktop and the ventilation hood can result in damage to the
ventilation hood. The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop
and the bottom of the ventilation hood given in the “Installation” section of
this manual must be observed, unless the cooktop manufacturer states that a
greater safety distance is required. If more than one cooking appliance is
installed beneath the ventilation hood, and they have different minimum safety
distances to the ventilation hood, select the greater distance. The
information provided in “Installation” must be observed when installing the
ventilation hood. Components can have sharp edges which may cause injury. Wear
gloves to protect your hands. When installing the exhaust duct, only use pipes
or tubes made of non-flammable material. These can be obtained from your Miele
dealer or from Miele Technical Service. Always observe local building code
requirements when selecting duct material. Exhaust air should not be vented
into a chimney or vent flue which is otherwise in use and should not be
channeled into ducting which ventilates rooms with fuel-burning installations.
If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation duct no longer
used for other purposes, seek professional advice. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF FIRE USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Cleaning and maintenance There is a risk of fire
if cleaning is not completed according to the
instructions in this manual. Never use a steam cleaner to clean the
ventilation hood. The steam can reach the electrical components and cause a
short circuit. Accessories and parts Use only genuine original Miele parts. If
parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may
become void. Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can safety of the appliance be assured as intended
by the manufacturer. Miele will guarantee to supply functional parts for a
minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your
ventilation unit.

Description of functions
The following functions are available on your ventilation hood, depending on
the model:
Extraction mode
Air entering through the intake is cleaned by the grease filters and conducted
out of the building.
Recirculation mode
(only with conversion kit and charcoal filters as optional accessories, see
“Technical data”) The air is drawn in and cleaned first by the grease filter
and then by charcoal filters. The air is then circulated back into the
kitchen.
16
Operation
Turning on the fan
Switch the fan on as soon as you start cooking. This is to ensure that vapors
are captured right from the start.
Pull out the canopy. To ensure optimum extraction and a low noise level, pull
the canopy all the way out.
The fan 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 setting. Select the power level you want
by
pressing the or control. 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.
Delayed shut-down
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 resulting odors.
Turning off the blower
Turn off the blower by pushing the deflector plate back in. The next time the
deflector plate is pulled out, the blower will switch on at setting 2 again.
Press the On/Off control to turn the blower off.
Turning the overhead lighting on/off
The overhead lighting can be turned on and off independently from the blower.
You can turn the overhead lighting on
and off by pulling out the fume deflector and pushing it in again or by
pressing the lighting button . The symbol is lit when the overhead lighting is
turned on.
17
Operation
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.
Turning power management on/off You can deactivate power management. Keep in
mind that this may increase energy consumption. To set this option, turn off
the fan and
the overhead lighting first. Press the and buttons at the
same time for approx. 10 seconds, until 1 lights up. Then, press the following
buttons in succession: – the lighting button , – followed by the button and
then – the lighting button . If power management is turned on, the 1 and B
indicators will be continuously lit. If it is turned off, the 1 and B
indicators will flash. Press the button to turn power management off.
The 1 and B indicators will flash. To turn it on, press the button. The 1 and
B indicators will be continuously lit. Confirm your choice with the On/Off
button . All the indicator lights will go out. If the new setting is not
confirmed within 4 minutes, the ventilation system reverts 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 .
18
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. – Check the power level
selected on the hood. A lower power level is generally sufficient for the
majority of cooking. Only use the booster level 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. – Clean or change
the filters at regular intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce performance,
increase the risk of fire and are unhygienic.
Energy-saving tips

Cleaning and care
Before proceeding with any
maintenance or cleaning task, the ventilation hood must be disconnected from
the power supply, see “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.
Stainless steel housing
General information Unsuitable cleaning agents can damage the surfaces and
control elements. Do not use any cleaning agents containing soda, acid,
chloride, or solvent. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents, e.g., powder
cleaners or cream cleaners and abrasive sponges, as well as pot scourers or
sponges which have been used previously with abrasive cleaning agents
Moisture in the ventilation hood
can cause damage. Make sure that water does not get into the ventilation hood.
Important information for appliances with stainless steel surfaces This
information does not apply to the control buttons. 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 information for the controls If soiling is not removed promptly, it
could cause the control elements to alter or discolor. Remove soiling
immediately.
The surface of the control elements can become damaged if they are cleaned
using stainless steel cleaning agents. Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the control elements.
Clean all surfaces and control buttons using a small amount of warm water and
liquid dish soap. Apply with a sponge cloth.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.
20
Cleaning and care
Grease filter Risk of fire
An oversaturated grease filter is a fire hazard. Clean the grease filter at
regular intervals.
The re-usable metal grease filter in the appliance removes solid particles
from the kitchen vapors (grease, dust, etc.), preventing soiling of the
ventilation hood. The grease filter must be cleaned at regular intervals.
A heavily soiled grease filter hinders 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 filter should therefore be
cleaned at least every 3 to 4 weeks.
Removing the grease filters
When handling the grease filter,
be careful not to drop it. This can result in damage to the filter and the
cooktop below. Make sure you hold the filter securely at all times when
handling it.
Pull out the deflector plate.
Support the grease filter with your right hand. Press down on the lock on the
left-hand side. The filter slides down.
Push the grease filter from the righthand side slightly to the left.
Pull the grease filter down to remove it.
21
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the grease filter by hand Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water and dish soap. Do not use undiluted dish
soap.
Unsuitable cleaning agents Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage to the filter
surfaces if used regularly. Do not use any of the following: – Lime removers –
Abrasive powders or abrasive liquids – Aggressive all-purpose cleaners and
degreaser sprays – Oven sprays
Cleaning the grease filter in the dishwasher
Risk of damage due to
excessively high temperatures in the dishwasher. Excessively high temperatures
can render the grease filter unusable (due to being warped out of shape, for
example). Select a program that does not exceed the recommended temperature.
Also follow the information provided in the operating instructions for the
dishwasher.
Place the grease filter upright or slightly inclined in the lower basket.
Ensure the spray arm is not obstructed.
Use a standard household cleaning agent.
Select a program with a maximum wash temperature of 150°F (65°C).
Depending on the cleaning agent used, the internal filter surfaces may 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 filter for cleaning,
also clean off any residues of oil or fat from the now accessible casing to
prevent the risk of these catching fire.
Reinsert the grease filter. Replacing the grease filter Regular usage and
cleaning can cause the filter surfaces to become worn. If you identify any
damage, replace the grease filter. Grease filters are available to order via
Miele Customer Service (see end of these operating instructions for contact
details) or from your Miele dealer.
22
Cleaning and care
OdorFree Charcoal Filter
With recirculation mode, two charcoal filters must be inserted in addition to
the grease filter. These are designed to absorb cooking odors. The charcoal
filters are fitted in the canopy above the grease filter. Charcoal filters are
available to order via the Miele website or from your Miele dealer. The
charcoal filters are listed under “Technical data” at the back of this
booklet.
Installing/replacing the charcoal filters The matching frames must be
installed in order to use the charcoal filter. Follow the directions on the

Air venting
WARNING: Danger of toxic fumes. Gas cooking appliances release carbon monoxide
that can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. To reduce the risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, the exhaust gases extracted by the hood should be vented
outside of the building only. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls
or ceilings or in attics, crawl spaces or garages. To reduce the risk of fire,
only use metal ductwork. Please read and follow the “IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS” to reduce the risk of personal injury. Follow all local building
codes when installing the hood.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible ducting made from approved nonflammable
materials for ducting.
To achieve the most efficient air throughput with the lowest noise levels,
please note the following: – The diameter of the vent ducting
must not be smaller than the crosssection of the vent collar (see “Appliance
dimensions”). This applies in particular when using flat ducting. – The
ducting should be as short and straight as possible. – Only use wide radius
bends. – The ducting must not be kinked or compressed. – All connections must
be strong and airtight.
– If the ducting has flaps, these must be opened whenever the ventilation hood
is switched on. Any constriction of the air throughput will reduce extraction
performance and increase operating noise.
Ventilation stack
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into a flue, the ducting must be directed
in the flow direction of the flue. If the flue is used by several ventilation
units, the cross-section of the flue must be large enough. Non-return flap Use
a non-return flap in the vent
system. A non-return flap ensures that when the ventilation hood is not in
operation, the duct is closed to prevent unwanted exchange of room air and
outside air. If the exhaust is ducted through an outside wall, a Miele wall
vent or roof vent (available as an optional accessory) is recommended. Both of
these have a built-in non-return flap. If the on-site vent system does not
have a non-return flap, one is supplied with the ventilation hood. The non-
return flap is installed in the exhaust socket of the fan.

INSTALLATION
Installation
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.
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. 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.
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.

Grounding Instructions WARNING – Improper grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of
the house checked by a qualified electrician. Do not use an extension cord. If
the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an
outlet near the appliance. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded. WARNING – Grounding
instructions (Canada) The grounding-type attachment plug shall be connected to
a groundingtype receptacle installed in accordance with CSA C22.1-12, Canadian
