Functional description  
The ventilation hood offers two modes  
of operation:  
Air extraction  
Recirculation mode  
Air is drawn through the grease filters  
and an active charcoal filter. The  
filtered air is then recirculated back into  
the kitchen.  
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the  
grease filters and directed outside.  
The hood comes equipped with a  
non-return flap. The flap automatically  
closes when the hood is turned off so  
that no exchange of outside air and  
room air can occur. When the hood is  
turned on, the air pressure of the  
exhaust fan automatically opens the  
flap blowing the inside air and cooking  
odors outside.  
The recirculation mode requires an  
install kit and charcoal filter which are  
optional accessories.  
Before using the hood in  
recirculation mode, ensure that the  
active charcoal filter is in place, see  
"Cleaning and care".

Cleaning and care  
,WARNING  
Avoid:  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR  
INJURY TO PERSONS,  
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:  
– cleaning agents containing soda,  
acids or chlorides,  
– abrasive cleaning agents  
e.g. powder or cream cleansers,  
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers  
or sponges which have been  
previously used with abrasive  
cleaning agents.  
Before cleaning or servicing the  
hood, disconnect it from the power  
supply, see "Important Safety  
Instructions".  
These will damage the surface.  
The following instructions for cleaning  
"Stainless steel" surfaces and "Stainless  
steel colored controls" should be  
followed in addition to the general  
"Cleaning the casing" instructions.  
,The halogen bulbs are very hot  
when in use. They stay hot for some  
time after turned off. Use caution,  
danger of burns.  
Wet cleaning the hot bulbs will  
cause damage.  
Stainless steel surfaces  
Wait a few minutes after turning  
them off before cleaning.  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned  
using a non-abrasive stainless steel  
cleaner.  
Cleaning the casing  
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner  
for stainless steel can be applied.  
Never use abrasive cleaners,  
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic  
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They  
will damage the surface.  
Stainless steel colored controls  
These controls may become dis-  
colored or damaged if not cleaned  
regularly.  
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner  
on these controls.  
^ All external surfaces and controls can  
be cleaned with a mild solution of  
warm water and liquid dish soap  
applied with a soft sponge.  
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.

The grease filter should be cleaned  
every 3 - 4 weeks.  
,A dirty filter is a fire hazard.  
^ In a dishwasher: place the filter  
vertically in the lower basket, making  
sure that the spray arm is not  
blocked.  
Use a wash program with a max.  
temperature of 150°F (65°C). In a  
Miele dishwasher use the "Normal"  
program.  
Use the recommended amount of  
dishwasher detergent. Overuse could  
destroy the filter.  
^ To remove hold and pull out the  
deflector and the grease filter  
together.  
Depending on the detergent,  
cleaning the grease filter in a  
dishwasher may cause permanent  
discoloration of the filter surface.  
Performance of the filter will not be  
affected by this discoloration.  
^ Pull the grease filter downwards and  
out. Support the grease filter so that it  
does not fall onto the cooktop.  
^ Turn the hood off.  
^ After cleaning, the filter can be  
placed on a towel to air dry.

Installation  
The DA3460, DA3480 and DA3490  
Built-In Ventilation Hoods all include  
brackets to affix the hood body to  
the rear wall of the enclosing  
cabinet. (Fig. 1) These brackets are  
necessary to ensure the long-term  
rigidity and stability of the installed  
appliance. In many cases, we have  
found that the rear walls of some  
cabinets are not structurally reliable.  
This may be due to the materials  
used, or the thickness of the rear  
wall.  
^ Connect the space bar from the rear  
with 4 plastic rivets at the hood rear  
side.  
In this case, to guarantee a solid  
connection, these brackets must be  
attached to a structurally sound  
surface (such as the wall behind the  
cabinet) to maintain the hood's level  
attitude (Fig 2). Depending on the  
cabinet and wall construction,  
alternative hardware may be  
5. Install the front panel  
if necessary  
required. Please use hardware  
which is designed to be used for  
your specific installation application.  
Failure to do so may cause the hood  
to lean forward and cause  
permanent damage to the sliding  
shelf. This damage is not covered  
by the warranty!  
The installation kit DML 400 is  
necessary. It can be obtained as an  
optional accessory from Miele. The  
installation kit has an installation manual  
supplied.

Installation  
Weight of the front panel  
6. Install the grease filter  
The weight of the front panel must not  
exceed 2.8 lbs (1.3 kg). This applies for  
front panels with a depth of up to 1 1/4"  
(30 mm). In the case of front panels of  
greater depth or greater weight, the  
weight must be reduced by milling out  
the back of the panel, for instance.  
^ Remove the protective film from the  
grease filter frame.  
^ To reinsert the grease filter, pull the  
deflector out.  
^ The deflector can be adjusted up to  
1 3/8" (35 mm) towards the front with  
the two adjusting screws left and  
right in the deflector. Adjust the  
deflector until it is flush with the front  
of the adjacent cabinetry.  
^ Make sure that the red plastic  
guides are at the front and facing up.  
^ Insert the grease filter into the  
deflector, and push upwards. It  
should glide onto the fixing pins.

7. Venting  
Air extraction mode  
^ Complete the venting installation, see  
"Air extraction".  
Recirculation mode  
If the hood cannot be installed for air  
extraction the appliance must be  
connected for recirculation mode.  
For recirculation mode a respective  
installation kit is recommended which  
can be obtained from Miele.  
In addition an active charcoal filter is  
needed.  
^ Install the installation kit as described  
in the manual supplied with the kit.  
^ The non-return flap is not needed for  
the recirculation mode. Pull the  
non-return flap off the bracket from  
the vent connection.  
^ Make sure that the slats in the grill  
point towards the center of the room  
and not towards a wall or the ceiling.  
^ Install the Active Charcoal Filter (see  
"Cleaning and care").  
8. Electrical connection  
Refer to the notes in "Electrical  
connection" and "Important Safety  
Instructions" before connecting to  
the mains.  
^ Plug in the power cord.

Air extraction  
Exhaust ducting and connections  
,WARNING  
Use smooth or flexible pipework made  
from approved non-flammable  
materials for exhaust ducting.  
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.  
To achieve the most efficient air  
extraction and quietest noise levels,  
consider the following:  
– The diameter of the ductwork should  
not be less than 6" (150 mm).  
– If flat ducting is used, the cross  
section must not be smaller than the  
cross section of the ventilation  
exhaust.  
Do not vent exhaust air into  
spaces within walls or ceilings or  
in attics, crawl spaces or garages.  
– The ducting should be as short and  
straight as possible.  
– Use ductwork with a wide radius.  
To reduce the risk of fire, only use  
metal ductwork.  
– The exhaust duct must not be bent  
or compressed.  
Please read and follow the  
"IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of  
personal injury. Follow all local building  
codes when installing the hood.  
– Make sure all connections are  
secure.  
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it  
must slope away from the hood at  
least 1/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to  
prevent condensation dripping into  
the appliance.  
– If the exhaust is ducted through an  
outside wall, a Telescopic Wall Vent  
can be used.

Air extraction  
Condensate trap  
optional accessory  
In some cases, a condensate trap may  
also be required to collect and  
evaporate any condensate which may  
occur. This optional accessory is  
available for ducts 5" (125 mm) and 6"  
(150 mm) in diameter.  
– If the exhaust is ducted into an  
inactive flue, the air must be expelled  
parallel to the flow direction of the  
flue.  
Never connect an exhaust hood to  
an active chimney, dryer vent, flue,  
or room venting ductwork. Seek  
professional advice before  
connecting an exhaust hood vent to  
an existing, inactive chimney or vent  
flue.  
Important  
If the ductwork runs through rooms,  
ceilings, garages, etc. where  
temperature variations exist, it may  
need to be insulated to reduce  
condensation.  
When installing a condensate trap,  
ensure that it is positioned vertically  
and if possible directly above the  
exhaust outlet.
