Functional description  
The hood offers two modes of  
operation:  
Air extraction  
Recirculation mode  
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the  
grease filters and directed outside.  
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 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.  
Before using the hood in  
recirculation mode, ensure that the  
active charcoal filters are in place,  
see "Cleaning and care".

openings on one end.  
These vents are required for recir-  
culation mode and will be closest to the  
ceiling when installed.  
^ Slip the hose clamps over the flex  
hose onto the diverter and the motor  
assembly exhaust connection. Once  
in place, tighten the hose clamps.  
For air extraction, the vents are not  
required and are covered by the  
chimney.

Air extraction  
Exhaust ducting and connections  
,WARNING  
– The ducting should be as short and  
straight as possible, and the number  
of sharp bends should be minimized.  
Danger of toxic fumes.  
Gas cooking appliances release  
carbon monoxide that can be  
harmful or fatal if inhaled.  
The exhaust gases extracted by  
the hood should be vented  
outside of the building only.  
– For most efficient air extraction, the  
diameter of the ductwork should not  
be less than 6" (150 mm). Use of flat  
ducts also reduces the air extraction  
efficiency.  
– Noise levels of the hood will increase  
if flat ducts or round ducts of less  
than 6" (150 mm) in diameter are  
used.  
Do not terminate the exhaust  
ducts in attics, garages,  
crawlspaces, etc.  
– Use smooth or flexible pipes made  
from approved non-flammable  
materials for exhaust ducting.  
To reduce the risk of fire, only use  
metal ductwork.  
– 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.  
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 is ducted through an  
outside wall, a Miele 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 4" (125 mm) and  
5 7/8" (150 mm) in diameter.  
When installing a condensate trap,  
ensure that it is positioned vertically  
and if possible directly above the  
exhaust outlet. The arrow on the casing  
shows the venting direction.  
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, 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.
