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".

Operation  
Turning the fan on  
Fan performance  
^ Pull the deflector plate out about 2"  
(5 cm).  
The maximum air flow capacity is  
625 cfm. Factors such as narrow duct  
diameter and bends will affect this  
value.  
The hood will operate at power level "II".  
There will also be a slight decrease in  
airflow for hoods operated in  
recirculation mode due to the active  
charcoal filter.  
Selecting the power level  
Depending on how much the air needs  
to be filtered, there are four power  
levels available.  
Level 1 operates at 40% capacity  
Level 2 operates at 60% capacity  
Level 3 operates at 80% capacity  
Level 4 operates at 100% capacity  
For normal cooking a low to medium  
level is usually sufficient.  
For frying or cooking food with a strong  
aroma use the highest level.  
Turning the fan off  
^ Press the On/Off button to turn the  
fan off.

Cleaning and care  
Stainless steel surfaces  
Before servicing or cleaning the  
hood, disconnect it from the power  
supply by "tripping" the circuit  
breaker or unplugging it.  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned  
using a non-abrasive stainless steel  
cleaner.  
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner  
for stainless steel can be applied.  
Make sure power is not restored to  
the appliance while maintenance or  
repair work is performed.  
Grease filter  
The reusable metal grease filters  
remove solid particles from the vented  
kitchen air like grease and dust, etc.  
Cleaning the casing  
Never use abrasive cleaners,  
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic  
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They  
will damage the surface.  
The hood has an external filter which  
is visible from beneath. An internal  
filter is situated above the external filter  
within the casing.  
^ All external surfaces and controls can  
be cleaned with warm water and  
liquid dish soap applied with a soft  
sponge.  
The grease filters should be cleaned  
every 3-4 weeks or whenever the  
grease filter indicator lights.  
Always clean both filters.  
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.  
Dirty filters are a fire hazard.  
Do not use too much water when  
cleaning the controls. Water could  
penetrate the electronics and cause  
damage.

Air extraction  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of fire, Use only  
metal ductwork.  
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.  
Do not terminate the exhaust  
ducts in attics, garages,  
crawlspaces, etc.  
CAUTION  
To reduce risk of fire and to properly  
exhaust air, be sure to duct air  
outside - Do not vent exhaust air into  
spaces within walls or ceilings or  
into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.  
Use smooth or flexible pipes made  
from approved non-flammable  
materials for exhaust ducting.  
Please read and follow the "Important  
Safety Instructions" to reduce the risk  
of personal injury, and 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 (1cm per meter) to  
prevent condensation dripping into  
the appliance.  
Exhaust ducting and connections  
The ducting should be as short and  
straight as possible, and the number  
of sharp bends should be minimized.  
If the exhaust is ducted through an  
outside wall, a Miele Telescopic Wall  
Vent can be used.  
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.

Air extraction  
If the ductwork runs through rooms,  
ceilings, garages, etc. where  
temperature variations exist, it may  
need to be insulated to reduce  
condensation. In some cases, a  
condensate trap may also be  
required to collect and evaporate  
any condensate which may occur.  
When installing a condensate trap,  
ensure that it is positioned vertically  
and if possible directly above the  
exhaust outlet.  
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.
