IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a  
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.  
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. When 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).

Description of functions  
The following functions are available on  
your ventilation hood, depending on the  
model:  
Recirculation mode  
The recirculation mode requires a  
recirculation kit and OdorFree Charcoal  
Filter (available as optional accessories,  
see "Technical Data" for more  
information)  
Vented mode  
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the  
grease filters and directed outside.  
The air is drawn in and first cleaned by  
the grease filters and then by an  
OdorFree Charcoal Filter. The cleaned  
air is then recirculated back into the  
kitchen.  
Non-return flap  
A non-return flap in the ducting  
prevents the exchange of inside and  
outside air from occurring when the  
ventilation hood is not in use.  
The flap is closed when the ventilation  
hood is turned off.  
When the ventilation hood is turned on,  
the non-return flap opens so that the  
exhaust air can be transported outside  
without any obstruction.  
A non-return flap has been provided  
with the hood in case your ducting  
does not have one. It is inserted into  
the outlet duct collar of the fan.

Grease filters  
The reusable metal grease filters in the  
appliance remove the solid particles  
contained in kitchen vapors (fat, dust,  
etc.), thereby preventing the ventilation  
hood from becoming dirty.  
Do not leave dirt and debris on the  
buttons for any length of time.  
Otherwise they may become  
discolored or damaged.  
Remove any dirt or debris  
immediately.  
A dirty filter is a fire hazard!  
Cleaning intervals  
Observe the general cleaning  
instructions contained in this chapter.  
Over longer periods of time, fat buildup  
on the grease filter hardens and makes  
cleaning more difficult. Therefore, we  
recommend cleaning the grease filters  
once every 3-4 weeks.  
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner  
to clean the control buttons.  
Removing the grease filters  
When handling a grease filter, be  
careful not to drop it.  
This can result in damage to the filter  
and to the cooktop.  
Make sure you hold the filter  
securely at all times when handling  
it.  
To remove a grease filter, release the  
locking clip. Then, open the filter to a  
45° angle, unhook it, and remove it  
from the hood.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the grease filters by hand  
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.  
Clean the filters with a soft nylon  
brush in a mild solution of hot water  
and dish soap. Do not use undiluted  
dish soap.  
Reinstall the grease filters. When  
inserting the filters, make sure that  
the locking clip is facing down.  
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

If the filters have been installed  
incorrectly, you can insert a small  
screwdriver into the slit to disengage  
the locking clip.  
Cleaning the grease filters in the  
dishwasher  
Place the filters as upright or inclined  
as possible in the lower basket.  
Ensure that the spray arm is not  
obstructed.  
Use a common household  
dishwasher detergent.  
Select a program with a wash  
temperature between 122°F (50°C)  
and 149°F (65°C). 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 filters  
in any way.  
After cleaning  
After cleaning, leave the filters on an  
absorbent surface to dry.

Installation recommendations  
Drilling diagram for wall  
mounting  
When drilling, please follow the  
directions contained on the  
accompanying installation sheet.  
– We also recommend a distance of at  
least 25 1/2" (650 mm) 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 optimal vapor extraction,  
make sure that the hood covers the  
cooktop. The hood should be  
positioned centrally over the  
cooktop, not to the side or rear.  
– The cooktop should be no wider than  
the hood. Preferably, it should be  
narrower.  
– The mounting area must be easily  
accessible. The ventilation hood  
should be easy to reach and  
When installing a custom back wall  
with pre-drilled holes, please refer to  
the drilling distances in the drawing  
above (screws 3/16" (5 mm)).  
disassemble in case a service call is  
necessary. This should be taken into  
consideration when planning the  
position of cupboards, shelves,  
ceilings or decorative elements in the  
vicinity of the ventilation hood.  
* The dimension for the middle wall  
bracket is variable. It will depend on the  
position of the wall vent and the socket.  
It should be set as low as possible.

Installation  
Make a cutting line 3" (76 mm) above  
and 3" (76 mm) below the outline of  
the retaining plate.  
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.  
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.  
If plywood backing is not needed,  
proceed to the included "Installation  
diagram".  
Proceed to the enclosed "Installation  
diagram" to complete the installation.  
To install a plywood backing  
Determine and mark the location of  
the retaining plate for the canopy  
as outlined on the "Installation  
diagram".

Exhaust duct  
– Make sure that all connections are  
secure and airtight.  
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.  
Remember that any constriction of  
the airflow will reduce extraction  
performance and increase operating  
noise.  
If the exhaust duct is to be routed  
through an outside wall, we  
recommend installing a telescopic  
wall vent or a rooftop vent (available  
as an optional accessory).  
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.  
If the exhaust air is to be conducted  
into a vent flue, the intake piece must  
be aligned with the flow direction of  
the flue.  
Only use smooth pipes or flexible  
duct hoses made from non-  
flammable materials for exhaust  
ductwork.  
When installing the exhaust duct  
horizontally, you must slope it away  
from the source by at least 1 cm per  
meter (3/8" per 3 1/4'). This ensures  
that condensate cannot drain back  
into the ventilation hood.  
To achieve the greatest possible air  
extraction with the lowest noise  
levels, please note the following:  
– The diameter of the exhaust duct  
should not be less than 6" (150 mm).  
– If flat exhaust ducts are used, the  
cross section should not be smaller  
than that of the exhaust connector.  
If the exhaust duct is to be routed  
through rooms, ceiling space etc., the  
temperatures in these different areas  
may differ greatly, which means that  
the problem of condensation will  
need to be addressed. The exhaust  
duct will need to be insulated.  
– The exhaust duct should be as short  
and straight as possible.  
– If elbows are needed, make sure they  
have a large radius.  
– The exhaust duct itself must not be  
kinked or compressed.

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 fan.  
When installing a condensate trap,  
make sure that it is positioned  
vertically and, if possible, directly  
above the hood outlet duct collar.  
The arrow on the housing indicates  
the direction of airflow.  
Push the exhaust hose over it.  
Fix both with a hose clamp.
