Functional description
The ventilation hood works by air
extraction. The air is drawn in and
cleaned by the grease filter and
directed outside.
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.

Cleaning and care
Stainless steel
Before cleaning or servicing the
hood, disconnect it from the power
supply by either removing the fuse,
unplugging it from the outlet or
manually "tripping" the circuit
breaker.
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner
for stainless steel can also be used.
Apply sparingly with even pressure.
Cleaning the casing
Stainless steel colored controls
,Never use abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They
will damage the surface.
These controls may become dis-
colored or damaged if not cleaned
regularly.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
on these controls.
^ The exterior surfaces and controls
can be cleaned with warm water and
liquid dish soap applied with a soft
sponge.
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Only use a slightly damp sponge
when cleaning the controls. Water
could penetrate into the electronics
and cause damage.
^ Glass surfaces can be cleaned using
glass cleaner.
Avoid:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
acids, chlorides or thinners,
– 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,
– limescale removers.
These will damage the surface.
17
Cleaning and care
Grease filter
Removing the grease filter
The reusable metal grease filter
removes solid particles from the vented
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).
The grease filter and the air intake
panel should be cleaned every 3 - 4
weeks or whenever the grease filter
indicator lights red.
^ To remove the grease filter pull the
locking clip forward. Lower the filter
45° unhook it at the rear and take it
out. Support the grease filter so that it
does not fall onto the cooktop.
Keep the grease filter clean to
prevent a fire hazard.
18
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the grease filter
^ 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.
^ If the filter is incorrectly installed,
insert a small screwdriver into the slit
along its edge to disengage it from
the casing.
^ In a dishwasher: place the filter
vertically in the lower basket, making
sure that the spray arm is not
blocked.
Use a hot temperature program,
e.g. "Heavy Soil" or "Pots and pans".
Use the recommended amount of
dishwasher detergent. Overuse could
destroy the filter.
^ After returning the grease filter, press
the grease filter button for 3 seconds
to reset the timer.
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.
The indicator light will go out.
^ If the grease filter is cleaned before
the grease filter timer has reached its
maximum, the grease filter button
should be pressed for 6 seconds to
reset the counter to zero.
^ After cleaning, the filter can be
placed on a towel to air dry.
^ While the filter is removed, clean any
dirt or grease from the interior casing
to prevent the risk of fire.
^ When putting the grease filter back
make sure that the locking clip is
facing the cooking surface.
19
Cleaning and care
Changing the light bulb
Before changing the light bulbs,
disconnect the hood from the power
supply by either removing the fuse,
unplugging it, or manually "tripping"
the circuit breaker.

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 vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings or
in attics, crawl spaces, or garages
– 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.
31
Air extraction
Condensate trap
optional accessory
In some cases, a condensate trap may
be required to collect and evaporate
any condensation which may develop.
This optional accessory is available for
ducts 5" (125 mm) and 5 7/8" (150 mm)
in diameter.
– 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.
^ When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust outlet.
Important
If the ductwork runs through rooms,
ceilings, garages, etc. where
temperature variations exist, it may
need to be insulated to reduce
condensation.
