6
Warning and Safety instructions  
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has  
been built in.  
The cooker hood must not be used in a non-stationary location  
(e.g. on a ship).  
Touching electrical components and tampering with electrical and  
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause  
operational faults.  
Only open the housing as described in the instructions given in the

7
Warning and Safety instructions  
Using at the same time as another heating appliance that depends on the air  
from the room  
Danger of toxic fumes!  
Great care should be taken when using the cooker hood in the  
same room or the same area of the house at the same time as  
another heating appliance that depends on the air from the room.  
Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct  
exhaust gases out to the open air through a chimney or extraction  
ducting. They include gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and  
heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas hobs and  
ovens.  
The cooker hood draws in air from the kitchen and from  
neighbouring rooms. This applies to the following modes of  
operation:  
- extraction mode,  
- recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the  
room.  
If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating  
appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion.  
Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extraction  
ducting back into the room.  
Risk of death!  
8
Warning and Safety instructions  
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by  
the heating appliance from being drawn back into the room, when  
the cooker hood and the heater are both operated simultaneously,  
an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 Pa) is the maximum  
permissible.  
Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot  
be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. The  
cross-section of the inlet openings must enable sufficient  
ventilation. A ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to  
ensure safe ventilation.  
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 should be sought.  
If the cooker hood is being operated in recirculation mode,  
whereby the air is redirected into the room in which it is installed,  
the above restrictions do not apply.  
9
Warning and Safety instructions  
Correct use  
Open flames are a fire hazard.  
The use of an open flame under the cooker hood is not permitted. To  
avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame.  
When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter.  
Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.  
The cooker hood can become damaged when exposed to  
excessive heat.  
- When using the cooker hood over a gas hob, ensure that any  
burners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the cooking  
zone off when a pan is removed, even for a short time.  
- Select a pan which is suitable for the size of the burner.  
- Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the  
pan.  
- Avoid overheating the pan (e.g. when cooking with a wok).  
Always switch the cooker hood on when a cooking zone is in use,  
otherwise condensation may collect in the hood, which could cause  
corrosion.  
Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the  
cooker hood.  
When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers, etc, do  
not leave the pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an open grill  
unattended when grilling.  
10  
Warning and Safety instructions  
Do not use the cooker hood without the filters in place. This way  
you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance  
and hindering its smooth operation.  
The cooker hood can get very hot during cooking due to heat  
rising from the hob.  
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the cooker hood  
has cooled down.  
This cooker hood is not suitable for placing objects on.  
Proper installation  
Refer to the cooker or hob manufacturer's instructions as to  
whether a cooker hood may be operated above the cooker/hob.  
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid  
fuel stoves.  
An insufficient safety distance between the hob and the cooker  
hood can result in damage to the cooker hood.  
The minimum safety distances between the top of the hob and the  
bottom of the cooker hood given in the “Installation” section of this  
manual must be observed, unless the hob manufacturer states that a  
greater safety distance is required.  
If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the cooker  
hood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the  
cooker hood, select the greater distance.  
The information provided in “Installation” must be observed when  
fixing the ventilation hood.  
11  
Warning and Safety instructions  
Exhaust ducting must be of non-inflammable material. Suitable  
material is available from Miele specialist dealers or the Miele Spares  
Dept.  
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or 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.  
Cleaning and care  
There is a risk of fire if the cooker hood is not cleaned as  
described in these operating instructions.  
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.  
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short  
circuit.  
Accessories  
Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with  
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other  
manufacturers will invalidate the warranty and Miele cannot accept  
liability.

Modes of operation  
Depending on the model of the cooker  
hood, the following options are  
available:  
Extraction mode  
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the  
grease filters and directed outside.  
Recirculation mode  
(recirculation mode cooker hoods  
require a conversion kit and charcoal  
filter, see “Technical Data”)  
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.  
16  
 
Operation  
Switching the fan on and off  
Switch the fan on as soon as you start  
cooking. This is to ensure that vapours  
are captured right from the start.  
For light to heavy cooking vapours and  
odours, select from power levels 1 to 3.  
For short periods of cooking food with  
intensive vapours and a strong aroma,  
e.g. when searing meat, select Booster  
setting B.  
Switch the fan on with the fan  
switch and select the power level  
you want.  
Switching the fan off  
It is advisable to run the fan for a few  
minutes after cooking has finished to  
neutralise any lingering vapours and  
odours in the air.  
Turn the fan switch to 0.  
Switching the hob lighting on/  
off  
The hob lighting can be switched on  
and off independently of the fan.  
Use the lighting switch to switch  
the hob lighting on (1) or off (0).

Energy saving tips  
This cooker hood operates very  
efficiently and economically. The  
following will help you to save even  
more energy when using it:  
- Ensure that there is sufficient  
ventilation in the kitchen when  
cooking. In extraction mode, if there  
is insufficient air flow the cooker  
hood cannot operate efficiently and  
this causes increased operating noise  
levels.  
- Always cook with the lowest possible  
setting. This produces fewer cooking  
vapours, so you can use a lower  
cooker hood power level and  
therefore benefit from reduced  
energy consumption.  
- Check the power level selected on  
the cooker hood. A lower power level  
is generally sufficient for the majority  
of cooking. Only use the Booster  
setting when necessary.  
- When a large volume of cooking  
vapours is being produced, switch to  
a high power level in good time. This  
is more efficient than operating the  
cooker hood for longer to try to  
capture cooking vapours which have  
already been distributed throughout  
the kitchen.  
- Make sure that you switch the cooker  
hood off after use.  
- Clean or change the filters at regular  
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce  
performance, increase the risk of fire  
and are unhygienic.  
18  
 
Cleaning and care  
Important information for appliances  
with stainless steel surfaces  
Before proceeding with any  
maintenance or cleaning task, the  
cooker hood must be disconnected  
from the power supply (see “Warning  
and Safety instructions”).  
This information does not apply to the  
control buttons.  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned  
with a non-abrasive cleaning agent  
designed specifically for use on  
stainless steel.  
Housing  
General information  
To prevent the surfaces from quickly  
becoming dirty again, we recommend  
treating them with a stainless steel care  
product (available from Miele).  
Unsuitable cleaning agents can  
damage the surfaces and control  
elements.  
Do not use any cleaning agents  
containing soda, acid, chloride or  
solvent.  
Important information for appliances  
with lacquered casing  
Do not use any abrasive cleaning  
agents, e.g. powder cleaners or  
cream cleaners and abrasive  
sponges, as well as pot scourers or  
sponges which have been used  
previously with abrasive cleaning  
agents.  
Minor scratches on the surface are  
inevitable when cleaning the casing;  
they may be visible depending on the  
lighting in the kitchen.  
Moisture in the cooker hood can  
cause damage.  
Make sure that water does not get  
into the cooker hood.  
All external surfaces and control  
elements can be cleaned using hot  
water with a small amount of  
washing-up liquid applied with a well  
wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.  
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry  
using a soft cloth.  
19  
     
Cleaning and care  
Important information for the control  
elements  
Cleaning interval  
Accumulated grease solidifies over a  
longer period of time and makes  
cleaning more difficult. The grease  
filters should therefore be cleaned every  
3 to 4 weeks.  
If soiling is not removed promptly, it  
could cause the control elements to  
alter or discolour.  
Remove any soiling immediately.  
Removing a grease filter  
The surface of the control elements  
can become damaged if they are  
cleaned using stainless steel  
cleaning agents.  
Do not use stainless steel cleaning  
agents on the control elements.  
When handling a grease filter, be  
careful not to drop it.  
This can result in damage to the filter  
and the hob below.  
Make sure you hold the filter securely  
at all times when handling it.  
Grease filters  
Fire hazard  
Oversaturated grease filters are a fire  
hazard.  
Clean the grease filters at regular  
intervals.  
The re-usable metal grease filters in the  
appliance remove solid particles  
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen  
vapours, preventing soiling of the  
cooker hood.  
To take out a grease filter, release the  
locking clip on the filter, lower the  
filter approx. 45°, unhook it at the  
back and remove it.  
The grease filters must be cleaned at  
regular intervals.  
Cleaning the grease filters by hand  
Heavily soiled grease filters hinder air  
extraction and will lead to increased  
levels of soiling in the cooker hood  
and in the kitchen.  
Clean the filters with a soft nylon  
brush in a mild solution of hot water  
and a small amount of washing-up  
liquid. Do not use “neat” washing up  
liquid.  
20  
 
Cleaning and care  
Unsuitable cleaning agents  
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.  
Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause  
damage to the surface of the filters if  
used regularly.  
Do not use:  
Replace the grease filters, making  
sure that the locking clips are facing  
down towards the hob.  
- cleaning agents containing descaling  
agents  
- powder cleaners, cream cleaners  
- aggressive multi-purpose cleaning  
agents or spray cleaners for grease  
- oven sprays  
Cleaning the grease filters in the  
dishwasher  
Place the grease filters upright or  
slightly inclined in the lower basket.  
Ensure the spray arm is not  
obstructed.  
If a grease filter is inadvertently  
replaced upside down, insert a small  
screwdriver blade into the slit to  
disengage the clip.  
Use a commercially available  
household dishwasher detergent.  
Select a dishwasher programme with  
a wash temperature between 50 °C  
and 65 °C.  
Depending on the detergent used,  
cleaning the filters in a dishwasher  
may cause the inside filter surfaces to  
become discoloured. This will not  
affect the functioning of the grease  
filters in any way.  
After cleaning  
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry  
on an absorbent surface before  
replacing them.  
21  
Cleaning and care  
Charcoal filter  
With recirculation mode, a charcoal  
filter must be fitted in addition to the  
grease filters. The charcoal filter is  
designed to absorb cooking odours.  
The charcoal filter is fitted in the canopy  
above the grease filters.  
Charcoal filters are available to order via  
the Miele online shop, the Miele  
Customer Service Department (see end  
of these operating instructions for  
contact details) or from your Miele  
dealer. The model designation required  
is listed under “Technical data.  
Fitting/replacing the charcoal filter  
Insert the charcoal filter in its  
compartment and push it up against  
the recirculation grille.  
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).  
Refit the cover and the grease filters.  
When to change the charcoal filter  
Replace the charcoal filter when it no  
longer absorbs kitchen odours  
effectively.  
It should, however, be replaced at  
least every 6 months.  
Disposing of charcoal filters  
Used charcoal filters can be disposed  
of with normal household waste.  
Push the cover for the charcoal filter  
compartment slightly to the right and  
then lower it to remove it.  
Take the charcoal filter out of its  
packaging.

damage.  
- The hob should be no wider than the  
cooker hood, and if possible, it  
should be narrower.  
Please remove the grease filters from  
the appliance and remove this foil  
from the housing components and  
the frames of the grease filters before  
installing the cooker hood. The foil  
can be peeled off easily.  
- The installation area must be easily  
accessible. The cooker hood should  
be easily accessible and easy to  
dismantle in the event that service is  
required. This should be taken into  
consideration when planning the  
position of cupboards, shelves,  
ceilings or features in the vicinity of  
the cooker hood.  
Deflector  
A deflector is installed in the rear of the  
cooker hood. Its position depends on  
operating mode. With extraction the air  
is directed upwards and out of the  
housing at the back. With recirculation  
the opening is closed and the air is  
directed forwards through the  
recirculation grille.

You also have the option of securing the  
cooker hood to the wall using two fixing  
brackets.  
Remove the guide plugs from the  
housing.  
Cut the drilling template to size and  
position against the wall. The top  
edge of the template indicates the  
top edge of the cooker hood. Please  
observe the safety distance (S) to the  
hob (see “Appliance dimensions”).  
Use the cover caps to close the holes  
(this also applies when securing the  
cooker hood from above).  
Mark and drill four holes for the fixing  
brackets (8 mm).  
Replace the grease filters.  
Remove the drilling template.  
34  
 
*INSTALLATION*

*INSTALLATION*  
Installation  
For extraction mode  
Hang the cooker hood on the  
brackets.  
For 150 mm exhaust ducting, cut  
the exhaust socket to size with a  
sharp knife.  
For 125 mm exhaust ducting, the  
exhaust socket is installed as it is.  
Tighten both screws at the back of  
the cooker hood on the left and right.  
This adjusts the alignment of the  
cooker hood to prevent it being lifted  
off the fixing brackets.  
Attach the exhaust ducting, e.g.  
flexible hose, to the exhaust  
connection using a hose clip  
(available as an optional accessory).  
Replace the lamps.  
Insert the exhaust duct into the  
exhaust opening and secure it by  
turning it slightly clockwise.  
Replace the grease filters.  
See “Exhaust ducting” for more  
detailed instructions on fitting the  
exhaust ducting.  
36  
 
*INSTALLATION*  
Installation  
The connection must be made via a  
socket which remains accessible after  
the cooker hood has been installed. If  
the socket is no longer accessible after  
installation or if you are using a hard-  
wired connection, there must be a  
suitable means of disconnection for all  
poles in the household electrical system  
which meets the requirements of  
overvoltage category III.  
For recirculation mode  
Fit the charcoal filter (see “Cleaning  
and care”).  
Electrical connection  
Refer to the notes in “Electrical  
connection” and “Warning and  
Safety instructions” before  
connecting to the electricity supply.  
Safety can be increased by fitting the  
appliance with a residual current  
device.  
Connect the cooker hood to the  
electricity supply.  
Only qualified electricians are permitted  
to carry out work on the household  
electrical system.  
Functional check  
To do this, switch the fan on.  
- In air extraction mode air should not  
come out of the recirculation grille at  
the front of the cooker hood.  
This appliance must be earthed.  
Connection for air extraction  
- In recirculation mode the air should  
come out of the recirculation grille at  
the front of the cooker hood.  
If the cooker hood is used at the  
same time as a heating appliance  
that relies on oxygen from the same  
room, there is a risk in certain  
circumstances of toxic fumes  
building up.  
It is essential that the “Warning and  
Safety” instructions are observed.  
The cooker hood should be installed  
according to local and national  
building regulations. Seek approval  
from the building inspector where  
necessary.  
If this does not happen, the deflector is  
not installed correctly (see “Deflector”).  
Electrical connection  
Refer to the notes in “Electrical  
connection” and “Warnings and  
safety notes” before connecting to  
the power supply.  
The connection data (voltage,  
frequency) on the data plate must  
match the data of the mains power  
supply. The position of the data plate is  
explained in the “Service” chapter.  
Only use smooth pipes or flexible  
exhaust ducting made from  
approved non-flammable materials  
for exhaust ducting.  
The cooker hood is equipped with a  
power cable and a safety plug.  
To achieve the most efficient air  
throughput with the lowest noise levels,  
please note the following:  
37  
         
*INSTALLATION*  
Installation  
- The diameter of the exhaust ducting  
must not be smaller than the cross-  
section of the exhaust duct (see  
If the exhaust is ducted through an  
outside wall, a Miele wall vent or roof  
vent (available as an optional  
“Appliance dimensions”). This applies accessory) is recommended. Both of  
in particular when using flat ducting.  
these have a built-in non-return flap.  
- The exhaust ducting should be as  
short and straight as possible.  
If the on-site ventilation system does  
not have a non-return flap, you can  
purchase one as an optional accessory.  
- Only use wide radius bends.  
Condensation  
- The exhaust ducting must not be  
kinked or compressed.  
If the exhaust ducting is to run through  
cool rooms or ceiling space, for  
example, the significant variations in  
temperature between the different areas  
can cause condensation to form.  
Insulate the exhaust ducting to reduce  
temperature variations.  
- All connections must be strong and  
airtight.  
- If the exhaust ducting has flaps,  
these must be opened whenever the  
cooker hood is switched on.  
If the exhaust ducting is to be laid  
horizontally, it must be laid with a  
downwards sloping gradient of at least  
1 cm per meter. This is to ensure that  
condensation cannot drain back into  
the cooker hood.  
Any constriction of the air throughput  
will reduce extraction performance  
and increase operating noise.  
Flue  
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into a  
flue, the ducting must be directed in the  
flow direction of the flue.  
If the flue is used by several ventilation  
units, the cross-section of the flue must  
be large enough.  
A non-return flap ensures that when the  
cooker hood is not in operation, the  
duct is closed to prevent unwanted  
exchange of room air and outside air.  
38  
 
*INSTALLATION*  
Installation  
Silencer  
To reduce noise levels even further, a  
silencer (optional accessory) can be  
installed in the exhaust ducting.  
In addition to insulating the exhaust  
ducting, it is advisable to also install a  
condensate trap for collecting and  
evaporating any potential condensation.  
Condensate traps for 125 mm or  
150 mm diameter exhaust ducting are  
available as optional accessories.  
When installing a condensate trap,  
ensure that it is positioned vertically  
and as closely as possible to the cooker  
hood above the exhaust connection.  
The arrow on the casing indicates the  
direction of airflow.  
In extraction mode, the silencer not only  
reduces noise from the fan outside the  
house, but also sounds originating  
outside reaching the kitchen through  
the exhaust ducting (e.g. traffic noise).  
For this reason, the silencer must be  
positioned as close as possible to the  
ducting exit .  
Miele shall not accept warranty claims  
for any functional defects or damage  
caused by inadequate exhaust  
ducting.
