Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing

material

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances

often contain materials which, if

handled or disposed of incorrectly,

could be potentially hazardous to

human health and to the environment.

They are, however, essential for the

correct functioning of your appliance.

Please do not therefore dispose of it

with your household waste.

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for

disposal, and can normally be

recycled.

Packaging e.g. cling film, polystyrene

and plastic wrappings must be kept out

of the reach of babies and young

children. Danger of suffocation!

Dispose of or recycle all packaging

materials safely as soon as possible.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre or contact your dealer for

advice. Ensure that it presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected

from the mains electricity supply by a

competent person.

Warning - danger of toxic fumes

For appliances with an external fan

motor fitted (...EXT models) the

connection of the two units must be

made using the connection cable and

the plug connectors.

These models may only be combined

with a Miele external motor.

This appliance may only be used in

mobile installations such as ships,

caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk

assessment of the installation has been

carried out by a suitably qualified

engineer.

Great care should be taken when

using the cooker hood at the same time

and in the same room or area of the

house as another heating appliance

which depends on the air in the room.

Such appliances include gas, oil, wood

or coal-fired boilers and heaters,

continuous flow or other water heaters,

gas hobs, cookers or ovens which draw

air in from the room and duct exhaust

gases out through a chimney or

extraction ducting.

In areas which may be subject to

infestation by cockroaches or other

vermin, pay particular attention to

keeping the appliance and its

surroundings in a clean condition at all

times. Any damage which may be

caused by cockroaches or other vermin

will not be covered by the guarantee.

When used in extraction mode, with or

without an external motor fitted, the

appliance draws air in from the room in

which it is installed and from

neighbouring rooms.

If there is insufficient air, an

underpressure will occur. The heating

appliance may be starved of oxygen,

impairing combustion.

Harmful gases could be drawn out of

the chimney or extraction ducting back

into the room, with potentially fatal

consequences.

Warning and Safety instructions

In order to ensure safe operation, and

to prevent gases given off by the

heating appliances from being drawn

back into the room when the cooker

hood and the heater are in operation

simultaneously, an underpressure of

0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum

permissible in the room.

One of the following technical

measures may be necessary to ensure

safe operation.

– If the only way of ensuring adequate

ventilation is via an open window, a

window contact switch should be

fitted to ensure that the cooker hood

can only operate when the window is

opened sufficiently.

Take care when ventilating the room

through an open window that

ventilation is not impaired by a

closed blind or curtain.

– The cooker hood can be set up to

automatically switch on an air intake

fan or open a motorised inlet flap

when it is switched on.

– The cooker hood can be set up to

automatically switch off a heating

appliance which also depends on

the air from the room when it is

switched on.

Ventilation can be maintained by air

inlets which must not be blocked, in

windows, doors and outside wall vents,

or by other technical measures, such

as ensuring that the cooker hood can

only be switched on when the heating

appliance is switched off or vice versa.

A ventilation brick alone is not generally

sufficient to ensure safe ventilation.

The Miele DSM 400 control module

offers the possibility of combining other

components with the cooker hood (see

"Operation with Control module

DSM 400").

It is available to purchase as an

optional extra.

,^{The overall ventilation condition}

of the dwelling must be taken into

account. If in any doubt, the advice

of a competent builder or, for gas, a

qualified gas fitter (Corgi registered

in the UK) must be sought.

If in any doubt, the advice of a

qualified builder, gas fitter (Corgi

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety regulations prohibit the fitting

of a cooker hood over solid fuel stoves.

All ducting, pipework and fittings

must be of non-flammable material.

These can be obtained from the Miele

Spare Parts department or from

builders' merchants.

The appliance must not be

connected to a chimney or vent flue

which is in use. Neither should it be

connected to ducting which ventilates

rooms with fireplaces.

If exhaust air is to be extracted into

a chimney or ventilation duct no longer

used for other purposes, seek

professional advice.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts

and accessories with this appliance. If

spare parts or accessories from other

manufacturers are used, this will

invalidate the guarantee, and Miele

cannot accept liability.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by

non-compliance with these Warning

and Safety instructions.

Modes of operation

The cooker hood works with

. . . air recirculation:

(available as an optional extra with a

conversion kit and charcoal filter: see

"Technical Data")

. . . air extraction:

The air is drawn in and cleaned first by

the grease filters and then by a

charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then

recirculated back into the kitchen

through grilles in the top of the cooker

hood extension piece.

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the

grease filters and directed outside.

If the on-site ventilation system does

not have a non-return flap, the

non-return flap supplied with the

appliance must be fitted in the exhaust

socket in the motor unit.

Before using the cooker hood in

recirculation mode, ensure that the

charcoal filter is in place. See

"Cleaning and care".

Having a non-return flap fitted in the

ducting ensures that air, once ducted

to the outside, cannot get back into the

room again.

The flap is closed when the cooker

hood is switched off.

. . . an external motor:

When the cooker hood is switched on,

the non-return flap opens for the

cooking vapours to be blown directly

outside.

(...EXT models only)

The ...EXT models are designed to be

connected to an external motor located

outside the room.

The external motor is connected to the

cooker hood by means of a control

cable, and is operated by the controls

on the cooker hood.

brush in a mild solution of hot water

and a small amount of washing-up

liquid.

Do not use undiluted washing up

liquid.

Do not use:

– cleaning agents containing

descaling agents,

The grease filters should be cleaned at

least every 3-4 weeks to avoid a

build-up of grease, but always clean

immediately if the grease filter touch

control lamp comes on.

– powder cleaners, cream cleaners or

abrasive all-purpose cleaning

agents,

– oven sprays.

An oversaturated filter is a fire

hazard.

Cleaning the grease filters in the

dishwasher

^ Place the filters with the short side

upright in the lower basket, and wash

on a 65° programme using a mild

dishwasher detergent, ensuring the

spray arm is not obstructed.

Depending on the cleaning agent

used, cleaning the filters in a

dishwasher can cause permanent

discolouration to the surface.

However, this will not affect the

functioning of the filters in any way.

^ To take out the grease filters, release

the locking clip on the filter, lower the

filter 45°, unhook it at the back and

remove it.

^ After cleaning, leave the filters to dry

on an absorbent surface before

replacing them.

To avoid damaging the filters or the

hob below, make sure you hold the

filters securely at all times when

handling them.

Cleaning and care

When removing the filters for cleaning,

also clean off any residues of oil or fat

from the now accessible housing to

prevent the risk of these catching fire.

Charcoal filter

If the cooker hood is connected for

recirculation, a charcoal filter must be

inserted in addition to the grease filters.

This is designed to absorb cooking

odours.

When putting the grease filters back in

position, ensure that the locking clips

are facing down towards the hob.

It is fitted in the canopy above the

grease filters.

New filters can be purchased from

your Miele Dealer / Chartered Agent

or from the Miele Spare Parts

Department.

See back cover for contact details,

and "Technical data" for the model

number of the filter.

If the grease filters are inadvertently

replaced upside down, insert a small

screwdriver blade into the slits to

disengage the clip.

^ Before fitting or replacing a charcoal

filter, the grease filters must first be

taken out (see previous section for

instructions on how to do this).

^ After replacing the grease filters,

press the grease filter touch control

for approximately 3 seconds to reset

the operating hours counter.

^ Take the charcoal filter out of its

packaging.

The indicator lamp will go out.

If the grease filters are cleaned before

the operating hours counter has

reached its maximum, the grease filter

touch control should be pressed for

approximately 6 seconds to reset the

counter.

^ Insert the charcoal filter into the

canopy.

When fitting for the first time:

^ Set the operating hours counter to

suit your requirements (see

Cleaning and care

Always replace the charcoal filter im-

mediately if

– the indicator lamp for the charcoal

filter lights up,

– if it is no longer effective in absorbing

kitchen odours.

It should, however, be replaced at least

every 6 months.

Used charcoal filters can be disposed

of with the normal household waste.

Cleaning and care

Changing a halogen lamp

^ Before any cleaning or maintenance

work, disconnect the cooker hood

from the mains supply. Ensure that–

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug removed, or–

– it is switched off at the isolator, or-

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable).

,^{Exercise caution when changing}

halogen lamps. They get very hot

during use and remain hot for some

time after being switched off. Let

them cool down before you change

them.

Do not touch the surface directly

when changing a lamp, as grease

particles from your fingers will

adhere to the surface and damage

it. Please follow the manufacturer's

instructions.

^ To access the halogen lamp, push

the lamp cover gently upwards. The

cover will open and can be pulled

down.

^ Pull the old halogen lamp out of the

connection socket and replace it with

Safety distance (S)

When planning the installation height

of your cooker hood, the minimum

safety distance between the top of a

cooker or hob and the bottom of the

cooker hood are as follows, unless a

greater distance is specified by the

manufacturer of your cooking

appliance:

450 mm (GB), 600 mm (AU, NZ)

above electric hobs and cookers,

650 mm above gas hobs and

cookers,

650 mm above an open grill or deep

fat fryer.

See "Warning and Safety" instructions

for further information.

– When deciding on the safety

distance, please note that 650 mm

may be preferable above electric

cookers/hobs to give more working

space.

Installation

Dismantling

Before installation, it is important to

read the information given on the

following pages as well as the

"Appliance dimensions" and the

"Warning and Safety instructions" at

the beginning of this booklet.

This is particularly crucial when

using the cooker hood at the same

time as a heating appliance that

relies on oxygen from the same

room, which could result in the

build-up of toxic fumes.

Should the appliance ever need to be

dismantled, follow the installation

instructions in reverse order as

described on the installation sheet.

A lever is supplied to assist with the

removal of the tower.

Installation instructions

See enclosed Installation sheet for

instructions on how to install this

appliance.

Protective foil

^ After loosening the fixing screws on

the tower, push the lever between the

tower and the extension piece to

lever the tower out of its fixings.

(on stainless steel appliances)

The housing components have

protective foil around them to prevent

them from transport damage.

Please remove this foil before fitting the

housing components. It can be peeled

off easily.

Connection for air extraction

Important: To avoid the danger of

toxic fumes please observe the

Warning and Safety instructions.

This is especially crucial when using

the cooker hood at the same time as

another heating appliance which

relies on air from the same room.

The cooker hood should be installed

according to local and national

building regulations. Seek approval

from the building inspector where

necessary.

If the exhaust ducting is secured to

the exhaust stub by a hose clip,

ensure that it is fitted correctly. Do

not overtighten.

Otherwise the exhaust stub could

buckle and the non-return flap could

become jammed.

– All ducting, pipework and fittings

must be of non-flammable materials.

– The exhaust ducting should be as

short and straight as possible.

– To ensure efficient air extraction, the

diameter of the exhaust ducting

should not be less than 150 mm.

If exhaust ducting with a diameter of

less than 150 mm, or if flat ducting is

used, the noise level of the cooker

hood will increase and extraction will

be less efficient.

– Where ducting is horizontal, it must

be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm

per metre.

This is to ensure that condensate

cannot drain back into the cooker

hood.

Only reduce the diameter of the

ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g.

where narrower ducting has already

been installed.

– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into

the open air, the installation of a

– Only use wide radius bends. Tight

bends reduce the air throughput of

the cooker hood.

telescopic wall vent is recommended.

– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into

a vent flue, the ducting must be

directed in the flow direction of the

flue.

– Only use smooth pipes or flexible

hoses made from non-flammable

materials for extraction connection.

Connection for air extraction

Important:

Cooker hoods designed for use with an

external motor (...EXT models) have an

integrated condensate trap.

If the exhaust ducting is to run through

rooms, ceiling space etc. where there

may be great variations in temperature

between the different areas, the

Silencer

problem of condensation will need to

be addressed. The exhaust ducting will

need to be suitably insulated.

Condensate trap

(optional accessory)

To achieve even further reductions in

noise levels, a special silencer can be

fitted in the ducting system.

It can be sited at any suitable position

in the ducting system between the

cooker hood and the external motor on

EXT model cooker hoods.

On extraction models, it can be fitted

nearest the ducting outlet to the outside

to reduce neighbourhood noise.

In addition to insulating the exhaust

ducting, we recommend that a suitable

condensate trap is installed to collect

and evaporate any condensate which

may occur. Condensate traps are

available for C 125 mm or C 150 mm

ducting.

On recirculation models, it can be fitted

in between the fan and the deflector.

When installing a condensate trap,

ensure that it is positioned vertically

and if possible directly above the

exhaust connection. The arrow on the

housing indicates the direction of

air-flow.

Electrical connection

If the switch is not accessible after

installation (depending on country), an

additional means of disconnection must

be provided for all poles.

All electrical work should be

undertaken by a suitably qualified

and competent person in strict

accordance with current national

and local safety regulations

(BS 7671 in the UK).

For extra safety it is advisable to install
