4

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

~

Before installation, check the cooker hood for visible signs of damage.

Under no circumstances should you use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance is dangerous.

~

Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency details given on the data plate correspond with the on-site electricity supply, otherwise the appliance could be damaged. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

~

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

~

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has been fully installed.

~

Only open the housing as described in the instructions given in the installation sheet and in the Cleaning and care section of this booklet. Under no circumstances should any other parts of the housing be opened.

Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user, and can cause operational faults.

~

Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carried out by a

Miele authorised person in accordance with current national and local safety regulations.

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

~

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

~

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– it is switched off at the isolator, or

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable), or

– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug withdrawn, or

– the fuse from the fused spur connection unit is withdrawn.

5

Warning and Safety instructions

~

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead.

These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

~

For appliances with an external fan 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.

~

This appliance may only be used in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

~

In 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 which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room

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 fitted, 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.

Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.

6

Warning and Safety instructions

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 cooker hood and the heater are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure of

0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible in the room.

Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which must not be blocked, in windows, doors and outside wall vents, or by other technical measures, such as ensuring that the cooker hood 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 qualified gas fitter (registered with an official gas safety body in accordance with national safety regulations) must be sought.

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.

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 qualified gas fitter must be sought.

If the hood is being operated in recirculation mode, the above restrictions do not apply.

7

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct 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.

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. Switch the cooking zone off when a pan is removed, even for a short time.

Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the pan.

Do not allow the pans to overheat excessively (e.g. when using a wok).

The cooker hood can become damaged when exposed to excessive heat.

~

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 filters in place. This way you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance and hindering its smooth operation.

~

The filters should be regularly cleaned or changed as appropriate.

Saturated filters are a fire hazard. See

"Cleaning and care".

~

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.

~

Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean this appliance. Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Correct installation

~

Refer to the cooker or hob manufacturer's instructions as to whether a cooker hood may be operated above the cooker/hob.

~

The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood given in the "Appliance dimensions" section of this booklet must be maintained, 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.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

~

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.

Accessories

~

Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Modes of operation

The cooker hood works with

. . . air recirculation:

(...U models only)

. . . air extraction:

(excluding ...U models)

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside.

The cooker hood is fitted with a

non-return flap, which is closed when the cooker hood is switched off. No exchange of room air and outside air can take place. 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 grease filters 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.

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.

(This infomation does not apply to the controls).

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using the Miele E-Cloth, or with a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel.

To help prevent re-soiling, a conditioning agent for stainless steel such as Neoblank (available from the

Miele UK Spare Parts Department) can also be used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

21

Cleaning and care

Important for appliances with lacquered housing

(special order finish)

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 colours and if there is halogen lighting in the kitchen.

Controls

The controls may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long.

Remove soiling straight away.

Observe the General notes on cleaning earlier in this section.

Important for appliances with an aluminium housing:

Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls on it, by the surrounding environment and by the angle you observe it from.

Aluminium surfaces may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long. Remove any soiling straight away.

Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the controls.

Glass surfaces

Glass surfaces can be cleaned using a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on glass.

Avoid oven sprays.

Observe the General notes on cleaning earlier in this section.

Do not use:

– stainless steel cleaning agents,

– cleaning agents containing descaling agents,

– dishwasher cleaner,

– oven sprays.

22

Cleaning and care

Grease filters

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 avoid a build-up of grease, the grease filters should be cleaned regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks), but always clean immediately the grease filter indicator lamp comes on.

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

^ Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and a little washing-up liquid.

Do not use "neat" washing up liquid.

Do not use:

– cleaning agents containing descaling agents,

– powder cleaners, cream cleaners or abrasive all-purpose cleaning agents,

– oven sprays.

An oversaturated filter is a fire hazard.

^ To take out the grease filters, release the locking clip on the filter, lower the filter 45°, unhook it at the back and remove it.

To avoid damaging the filters or the hob below, make sure you hold the filters securely at all times when handling them.

Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher

^ Place the filters as upright as possible in the lower basket, with the short sides upright, and wash on a

65°C programme, ensuring the spray arm is not obstructed. If a Miele dishwasher is being used, select the

Sensor wash programme.

^ Use a mild dishwasher detergent.

Depending on the cleaning agent used, cleaning the filters in a dishwasher can cause permanent discolouration to the surface.

However, this will not affect the functioning of the filters in any way.

^ After cleaning, leave the filters to dry on an absorbent surface before replacing them.

23

Cleaning and care

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.

When putting the grease filters back in position, ensure that the locking clips are facing down towards the hob.

Charcoal filter

(...U models only)

If the cooker hood is connected for recirculation, a charcoal filter must be inserted in addition to the grease filters.

This is designed to absorb cooking odours.

It is fitted in the canopy above the grease filters.

If a grease filter is inadvertently replaced upside down, insert a small screwdriver blade into the slit to disengage the clip.

^ After replacing the grease filters, press the grease filter control for approx. 3 seconds to reset the operating hours counter.

The indicator lamp will go out.

If the grease filters are cleaned before the operating hours counter has reached its maximum, the grease filter control should be pressed for approx. 6 seconds to reset the counter.

New filters can be purchased from your Miele dealer or from the Miele

Spare Parts Department.

See back cover for contact details, and "Technical data" for the model number of the filter.

^ 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).

^ Take the charcoal filter out of its packaging.

^ Insert the charcoal filter into the canopy.

When fitting for the first time:

^ Set the operating hours counter to suit your requirements (see

"Operation").

24

Always replace the charcoal filter immediately if

– the indicator lamp for the charcoal filter lights up, or

– if it is no longer effective in absorbing kitchen odours.

It should, however, be replaced at least every 6 months.

Used charcoal filters can be disposed of with the normal household waste.

^ After fitting the new charcoal filter, press the charcoal filter touch control for approx. 3 seconds to reset the operating hours counter.

The charcoal filter indicator lamp will go out.

If the charcoal filter is replaced before the operating hours counter has reached its maximum, the charcoal filter touch control should be pressed for approx. 6 seconds to reset the counter.

^ Finally refit the grease filters.

Cleaning and care

25

Cleaning and care

Changing a halogen lamp

^ Before any cleaning or maintenance work, disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply. Ensure that

– it is switched off at the isolator, or

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).

,

Exercise caution when changing halogen lamps. They get very hot during use and remain hot for some time after being switched off. Let them cool down before you change them.

Do not touch the surface directly when changing a lamp, as grease particles from your fingers will adhere to the surface and damage it. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions.

^ To access the halogen lamp, push the lamp cover gently upwards. The cover will open and can be pulled down.

^ Pull the old halogen lamp out of the connection socket and replace it with a new one (20 W, G 4 fitting).

^ Push the cover back up and make sure it clicks into place.

In recirculation mode, only the mains cable is required.

Exhaust connection

C 150 mm (not needed for recirculation mode)

Safety distance between hob and cooker hood

The minimum safety distances between the top of a cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood are as follows, unless a greater distance is specified by the manufacturer of your cooking appliance:

550 mm above electric hobs and cookers,

650 mm above an open grill or deep fat fryer,

650 mm above gas hobs and cookers.

If this cooker hood is installed above a Miele Wok CS 1028 CombiSet appliance, a minimum safety distance of 760 mm must be maintained between the burner and the lower edge of the cooker hood.

See "Warning and Safety" instructions for further information.

– A distance of 650 mm above the hob may be preferable to give more working space.

27

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.

Assembly parts

2 screws M4 x 8 mm for securing the tower.

4 spacers to use in the event of an uneven ceiling.

1 floating bracket to give a choice of position for the exhaust cut-out in the ceiling (not required for ...U models)

4 screws 8 x 60 mm with

4 washers and

4 plugs S 10 to secure the cover plate to the ceiling

The screws and plugs are for use in concrete ceilings only.

For other types of construction, alternative suitable fixings will be required.

Make sure the ceiling is strong enough to bear the weight of the cooker hood.

1 hose clip for securing the exhaust ducting to the exhaust stub

(not required for ...U models)

28

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.

– 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.

– 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.

– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into a vent flue, the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.

29

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.

Cooker hoods designed for use with an external motor (...EXT models) have an integrated condensate trap.

Silencer

(optional accessory)

Condensate trap

(optional accessory)

In addition to insulating the exhaust ducting, we recommend that a suitable condensate trap is also 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.

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.

30

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).

If the switch is not accessible after installation (depending on country), an additional means of disconnection must 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.

Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation or repair work has been carried out.

Important

This appliance is supplied for connection to an a.c.

230 V single phase 50 Hz supply.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green/yellow = earth

Blue = neutral

Brown = live

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

The connection data is given on the

data plate. (See "After Sales Service").

Ensure that this data matches the household mains supply.

Connection of this appliance should be made via a suitable isolator or a double pole fused spur connection unit which complies with national and local safety regulations and the On-Off switch should be easily accessible after the appliance has been built in.

When switched off there must be an all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the switch (including switch, fuses and relays according to EN 60335).

WARNING:

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

EARTHED

31

Operation with DSM 400 control module

The Miele DSM 400 control module can be used to combine the cooker hood with other components.

It enables the following:

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.

...EXT models can also be connected to a window contact switch.

Take care when ventilating the room through an open window that ventilation is not impaired by a closed blind or curtain.

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.

Potential free connection

This enables a further appliance to be controlled by 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.

32

Operation with DSM 400 control module

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 control module is fitted in the tower after the cover plate has been unscrewed from the ceiling.

The control module is supplied with its own detailed operating and installation instructions.
