4
Warning and Safety instructions
The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug withdrawn,
– the fuse from the fused spur connection unit is withdrawn,
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
For appliances with an external 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.
In countries where there are 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 caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Use
Never use an open flame beneath the cooker hood. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame under the cooker hood. When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter.
Fat particles drawn into the cooker hood present a fire hazard.
When using the cooker hood over a gas hob, ensure that any burners in use are always covered by a pan.
The burner should be switched off before taking a pan off the hob, even for brief periods.
Regulate the flames so that they do not extend beyond the base of the pan.
If flames are not covered by a pan, excessive heat can build up in the cooker hood with the risk of damage.
Always switch the cooker hood on when a cooking zone is in use, otherwise condensation may collect in the hood, which could cause corrosion.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc, do not leave the pans unattended. Never leave an open grill unattended when grilling. Overheated oil and fat can ignite and could set the cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood without the grease filters in place.
This way you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance and hindering its smooth operation.
5
Warning and Safety instructions
The grease filters should be regularly cleaned or changed as appropriate. Saturated filters are a fire hazard. See "Cleaning and care".
Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Safety with children
The appliance is only intended for use by adults who have read these instructions. This appliance is not a toy!
To avoid the risk of injury, keep children well away, and do not allow them to play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.
Older children may use the appliance only when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
Please be aware that on appliances with halogen lighting, the lamps will get very hot during use and remain hot for some time after switching off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the lamps at all times.
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 safely as soon as possible.
Installation
The minimum safety distance between the top of a cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood is as follows, unless a greater distance is specified by the manufacturer of your cooking appliance:
– 450 mm above electric hobs and cookers,
– 650 mm above gas hobs and cookers,
– 650 mm above an open grill or deep fat fryer.
If more than one appliance is fitted beneath the cooker hood and they have different minimum safety distances to the cooker hood, select the greater distance.
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.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room
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 extractor and the heater are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible.
Warning - danger of toxic fumes
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.
When used in extraction mode, with or without an external motor, 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.
Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be blocked, in windows, doors and outside wall vents, or by other technical measures, such as ensuring that the extractor 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 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
"Corgi" installer, must be sought.
Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
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. A window contact switch kit is available from good builders' merchants.
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.
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.
If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder or, for gas, a
"Corgi" installer, must be sought.
If the hood is being operated in recirculation mode, the above restrictions do not apply.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
8
The cooker hood works with
. . . air extraction:
Modes of operation
. . . air recirculation:
(available as an optional extra with a conversion kit and charcoal filter: see
"Technical Data")
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the stainless steel outer filter and the grease filter, and then directed outside.
If the on-site ventilation system does not have a non-return flap , then the non-return flap supplied with the appliance must be fitted
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.
When the cooker hood is switched on, the non-return flap opens for the cooking vapours to be blown directly outside.
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by the stainless steel outer filter and the grease filter 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.
Charcoal filters are available to order through your Dealer or the Miele Spare
Parts Department. (See back cover for contact details and "Technical Data" for model number).
Before using the cooker hood in recirculation mode, ensure that the charcoal filter is in place. See
"Cleaning and care".
. . . an external motor:
(EXT models only)
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.

Safety distance between hob and cooker hood (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 is as follows, unless a greater distance is specified by the manufacturer of your cooking appliance:
450 mm 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 between the hob and cooker hood, please note that a distance of 650 mm above electric cookers/hobs may be preferable to give more working space under the hood.
– Account should also be taken of the height of the person who will be using the hood most often. The person should have sufficient space to work comfortably at the hob, and also be able to reach the hood controls with ease.
– If positioned too high, extraction will be inefficient.
– The height of the cooking appliance must be taken into account when planning the installation height of the cooker hood.

Installation
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 to avoid the danger of toxic fumes building up.
Installation instructions
See enclosed Installation sheet for instructions on how to install this appliance.
Dismantling
Should the appliance 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.
Protective foil
(on stainless steel appliances)
The tower and extension piece have protective foil around them to prevent them being damaged during transport.
Please remove this foil before fitting them. It can be peeled off easily.
^ 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.

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.
– 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.
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into the open air, the installation of a telescopic wall vent is recommended.
– 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.
Only reduce the diameter of the ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g.
where narrower ducting has already been installed.
– Only use wide radius bends. Tight bends reduce the air throughput of the cooker hood.
– Only use smooth pipes or flexible hoses made from non-flammable materials for extraction connection.
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into a vent flue, the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.
31
Connection for air extraction
Important:
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 problem of condensation will need to be addressed. The exhaust ducting will need to be suitably insulated.
Silencer
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.
On recirculation models, it can be fitted in between the fan and the deflector.
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.
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
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).
be provided for all poles.
For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA.
Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous, for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable.

Operation with Control module DSM 400
The Miele DSM 400 Control module can be used to combine the cooker hood with other components.
It enables the following:
If the control module is disconnected in order to operate the cooker hood without the window contact switch
(e.g. after moving house) the cooker hood electronics must be reset by a
Miele service technician.
Connection to a window contact switch
If adequate ventilation to the room can only be ensured by having a window open when the cooker hood is in use at the same time as a heating appliance which depends on the air from the same room, then the control module can be used to connect a window contact switch (not supplied) to the appliance.
Once connnected, the cooker hood can only be operated when the window is sufficiently open (see also "Warning and Safety instructions").
When the window is closed the cooker hood fan cannot be switched on. The indicator lamp for the On/Off touch control on the cooker hood will flash.
The same applies to operation with an external motor (depending on model).
The cooker hood lighting is not affected by this.
Take care when ventilating the room through an open window that ventilation is not impaired by a closed blind or curtain.
Potential free connection
This enables an external appliance to be controlled according to the switch setting on the cooker hood fan.
– For instance it can be used to ensure a sufficient supply of fresh air when the cooker hood and a heating appliance which also depends on the air in the room are being used together, by switching on an air intake fan, or opening a motorised inlet flap as soon as the cooker hood fan is switched on. It is important to ensure that the fan power is sufficient and that the air intake has a suitable cross-sectional diameter.
– If a sufficient air intake cannot be guaranteed, then the potential free contact will enable a heating appliance, which depends on air in the same room as a cooker hood, to be switched off when the cooker hood is in operation.
See also "Warning and Safety" instructions.

Operation with Control module DSM 400
Connection to a light switch
The control module can be used to switch on the cooker hood lighting and also to dim it, depending on model, via a light switch in the house.
Installation
The tower needs to be removed before the control module can be fitted to the fan unit.
The control module is supplied with its own detailed operating and installation instructions.
