Functional description
The ventilation 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 active charcoal filters. The filtered
air is then recirculated back into the
kitchen.
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 active charcoal filter and the
installation kit may be purchased from
Miele.
Before using the hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
active charcoal filters are in place,
see "Cleaning and Care".

– cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
– 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.
Before cleaning or servicing the
hood, disconnect it from the power
supply, see "Important Safety
Instructions".
These will damage the surface.
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.
,The halogen bulbs are very hot
when in use. They stay hot for some
time after turned off. Use caution,
danger of burns.
Wet cleaning the hot bulbs will
cause damage.
Special instructions for stainless steel
surfaces (not applicable to the controls)
Wait a few minutes after turning
them off before cleaning.
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
Cleaning the casing
Never use abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They
will damage the surface.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner
for stainless steel can be applied.
Special instructions for colored
casings (RAL) (Special order)
^ All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned with a mild solution of
warm water and liquid dish soap
applied with a soft sponge.
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. Do not use a stainless
steel cleaner on these controls.
12
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 1., lower the
filter down 45° 2., unhook it at the
rear 3., 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.
13
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.
^ To install or replace the charcoal
filter, the grease filters must first be
removed as described in the
previous section.
^ If the filters are incorrectly installed,
insert a small screwdriver into the slit
along its edge to disengage it from
the casing.
^ Remove the charcoal filter from the
packaging.
^ Insert the charcoal filter into the
canopy.
^ 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.

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.
24
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.
