Functional description  
The 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 through a vent at the top of  
the hood’s chimney.  
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the  
grease filters and directed outside.  
The hood comes equipped with a  
non-return flap. This 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  
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.  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR  
INJURY TO PERSONS,  
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:  
Special instructions for stainless  
steel surfaces  
Before cleaning or servicing the  
hood, disconnect it from the power  
supply, see "Important Safety  
Instructions".  
(not applicable to the controls)  
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.  
Special instructions for colored  
casings  
^ All external surfaces and controls can  
be cleaned with a mild solution of  
warm water and liquid dish soap  
applied with a soft sponge.  
(Special order)  
It is very difficult to clean this type of  
surface without causing minor marks to  
the surface material. This can become  
particularly noticeable with darker  
colors and if there is halogen lighting in  
the kitchen.  
Do not use too much water when  
cleaning the controls. Water could  
penetrate the electronics and cause  
damage.  
Stainless steel colored controls  
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.  
These controls may become dis-  
colored or damaged if not cleaned  
regularly.  
Avoid:  
– cleaning agents containing soda,  
acids or chlorides,  
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner  
on these controls.  
– 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.  
These will damage the surface.

Cleaning and Care  
Grease filters  
Cleaning the grease filter  
The reusable metal grease filters in the  
hood remove solid particles from the  
vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc)  
and prevent soiling of the ventilation  
system.  
^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a  
solution of warm water and mild  
detergent.  
Do not use the pure detergent,  
aggressive all purpose cleaners,  
oven sprays, abrasive cleaning  
agents or limescale removers. They  
could destroy the filter.  
The grease filters 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.  
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.  
^ To remove the grease filter pull the  
locking clips forward, lower the filter  
down 45°, unhook it at the rear, and  
take it out.  
Support the grease filter so that it  
does not fall and damage the  
cooktop.  
^ After cleaning, the filter can be  
placed on a towel to air dry.  
^ While the filters are removed, clean  
any dirt or grease from the filter  
casing.  
14  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Cleaning and Care  
When putting the grease filters back  
make sure that the locking clips are  
visibly facing the cooking surface  
Active charcoal filter  
In recirculation mode an active  
charcoal filter must be used in addition  
to the grease filters. It is designed to  
absorb cooking odors.  
The active charcoal filter will be  
replaced in the canopy above the  
grease filters.  
Replacement active charcoal filters  
can be ordered from Miele.  
^ If the filters are incorrectly installed,  
insert a small screwdriver into the slit  
along its edge to disengage it from  
the casing.  
^ To install or replace the charcoal  
filter, the grease filters must first be  
removed as described in the  
previous section.  
^ Remove the charcoal filter from the  
packaging.  
^ Slide the charcoal filter into the rear  
of the filter frame, then raise the front  
up and push it into the frame.  
^ Replace the grease filters.  
Replace the active charcoal filter at  
least every 6 months or when they no  
longer absorb odors efficiently.  
^ Used charcoal filters may be  
discarded in household trash.

,WARNING  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR  
INJURY TO PERSONS,  
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:  
Before changing the light bulbs,  
disconnect the hood from the power  
supply, see "Important Safety  
Instructions".  
^ Turn the knurled screw

extremely hot, use caution. Do not  
attempt to change the bulbs until  
they have had sufficient time to cool.  
Do not touch the bulb surface.  
Fingerprints or body oils deposited  
on the bulb will decrease its life.  
Follow the bulb manufacturer’s  
instructions.  
^ Turn the bulb counterclockwise and  
pull it out of its socket.  
Use the same bulb type as a  
replacement: GU/GZ10, 120V, 50W.

Plywood backing  
^ Find the studs to the left and right of  
the mounting location by tapping the  
wall or using a stud finder.  
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.  
^ 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".  
^ Make a cutting line 3" (76 mm) above  
and 3" (76 mm) below the outline of  
the retaining plate.

,WARNING  
Grounding Instructions  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR  
INJURY TO PERSONS,  
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:  
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. The plug must  
be plugged into an outlet that is  
All electrical work should be  
performed by a qualified electrician  
in strict accordance with national  
regulations (for USA: ANSI-NFPA 70)  
and local safety regulations.  
Installation, repairs and other work  
by unqualified persons could be  
dangerous.  
properly installed and grounded.  
WARNING - Improper grounding can  
result in a risk of electric shock.  
If there is any doubt, have the electrical  
system of the house checked by a  
qualified electrician.  
Ensure that power to the appliance  
is off while installation or repair work  
is performed.  
Do not use an extension cord. If the  
power supply cord is too short, have a  
qualified electrician install an outlet  
near the appliance.  
^ Verify that the voltage, load and  
circuit rating information found on the  
data plate (located behind the  
grease filters), match the household  
electrical supply before installing the  
hood.  
Important  
The hood comes equipped with a 4 ft  
(1.2 m) power cord with a NEMA 5-15  
molded plug for connection to a 120 V,  
60 Hz, 15 A power outlet.  
^ Use only with ventilation hood  
cord-connection kits that have been  
investigated and found acceptable  
for use with this model hood.  
If there is any question concerning the  
electrical connection of this appliance  
to your power supply, please consult a  
licensed electrician or contact Miele’s  
Technical Service Department.

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  
– Make sure all connections are  
secure.  
"IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of  
personal injury. Follow all local building  
codes when installing the hood.  
– 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  
– 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.  
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.  
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.
