IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning and care

Never use a steam cleaner to clean the ventilation hood.

The steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will become void.

11

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.

Danger of suffocation!

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances contain valuable materials. They also contain certain substances, compounds and components which were essential for the proper functioning and safe use of the equipment. Handling these materials improperly by disposing of them in your household waste can be harmful to your health and the environment. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with regular household waste and follow local regulations on proper disposal.

Consult with local authorities, dealers or

Miele in order to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances.

Miele assumes no responsibility for deleting any personal data left on the appliance being disposed. Please ensure that your old appliance is kept away from children until removal.

Observe safety requirements for appliances that may tip over or pose an entrapment hazard.

12

Description of functions

The following functions are available on your ventilation hood, depending on the model:

Vented mode

Recirculation mode

The recirculation mode requires a recirculation kit and OdorFree Charcoal

Filter (available as optional accessories, see "Technical Data" for more information)

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

Non-return flap

A non-return flap in the ducting prevents the exchange of inside and outside air from occurring when the ventilation hood is not in use.

The flap is closed when the ventilation hood is turned off.

When the ventilation hood is turned on, the non-return flap opens so that the exhaust air can be transported outside without any obstruction.

A non-return flap has been provided with the hood in case your ducting does not have one. It is inserted into the outlet duct collar of the fan.

The air is drawn in and first cleaned by the grease filters and then by an

OdorFree Charcoal Filter. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen.

Operation

Switch on the blower

Power levels 1 to 3 are available for light to heavy cooking vapors and odors.

If heavy cooking vapors and odors occur temporarily, e.g., during frying, select stage B as booster level.

 Use the blower switch  to turn on the blower and select the appropriate power level.

Turning off the blower

It is advisable to run the blower for a few minutes after cooking has finished to neutralize any lingering vapors and odors in the air.

 To turn the blower off, turn the blower switch to 0.

Turning the overhead lighting on/off

The overhead lighting can be turned on and off independently from the blower.

 Use the light switch  to turn the overhead lighting on (1) and off (0).

16

This hood operates in a very efficient and energy-saving manner. The following will help you to save even more energy when using it:

– Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the kitchen when cooking. If there is insufficient air flow during vented mode, the hood cannot operate efficiently, causing increased operating noise levels.

– Always cook with the lowest possible setting. This produces fewer cooking vapors so that you can use a lower hood power level and therefore benefit from reduced energy consumption.

– Check the power level selected on the hood. A lower power level is generally sufficient for the majority of cooking. Only use the booster level when necessary.

– When a large volume of cooking vapors are being produced, switch to a high power level in good time. This is more efficient than operating the hood for longer to try to capture cooking vapors that have already been distributed throughout the kitchen.

– Make sure that you switch off the hood after use.

– Clean or change the filters at regular intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce performance, increase the risk of fire and are unhygienic.

Energy-saving tips

 Clean all surfaces and control buttons using warm water and liquid dish soap. Apply with a sponge cloth.

Make sure that no water gets into the interior of the hood.

Only use a damp cloth to clean the hood, especially in the control panel area.

Special instructions for stainless steel surfaces

(does not apply to control buttons)

 Stainless steel surfaces can also be cleaned using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner, available from

Miele.

 To prevent the surfaces from quickly becoming dirty again, we recommend treating them with a stainless steel care conditioner.

Apply sparingly over the entire area using a soft cloth.

Special instructions for RAL color finish housing

 Observe the general cleaning instructions contained in this chapter.

It is very difficult to clean this type of surface without causing minor marks to the surface material. This can become particularly noticeable if there is halogen lighting in the kitchen.

 After cleaning, dry the surfaces with a soft cloth.

Avoid the following:

– Cleaners containing soda, acid or chloride, or cleaners containing solvents

– Abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents.

18

Cleaning and care

Important for the controls

Do not leave dirt and debris on the buttons for any length of time.

Otherwise they may become discolored or damaged.

Remove any dirt or debris immediately.

 Observe the general cleaning instructions contained in this chapter.

Do not use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the control buttons.

Grease filters

The reusable metal grease filters in the appliance remove the solid particles contained in kitchen vapors (fat, dust, etc.), thereby preventing the ventilation hood from becoming dirty.

A dirty filter is a fire hazard!

Cleaning intervals

Over longer periods of time, fat buildup on the grease filter hardens and makes cleaning more difficult. Therefore, we recommend cleaning the grease filters once every 3-4 weeks.

Removing the grease filters

During removal, the filter may drop to the ground.

This can result in damage to the filter and the cooktop.

During cleaning, be sure to hold the filter securely.

 To remove a grease filter, release the locking clip. Then, open the filter to a

45° angle, unhook it, and remove it from the hood.

19

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

 Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and dish soap. Do not use undiluted dish soap.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage to the filter surfaces if used regularly.

Do not use any of the following:

– Lime removers

– Abrasive powders or abrasive liquids

– Aggressive all-purpose cleaners and degreaser sprays

– Oven sprays

Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher

 Place the filters as upright as possible in the lower basket. Ensure that the spray arm is not obstructed.

 Use a common dishwashing detergent.

 Select a program with a wash temperature between 120°F (50°C) and 150°F (65°C). In a Miele dishwasher use the "Normal" program.

Depending on the detergent used, cleaning the filters in a dishwasher may cause the inside filter surfaces to become discolored. However, this will not affect the functioning of the filters in any way.

 When removing the filters for cleaning, also clean off any accessible oil or fat buildup from the housing. Doing so will prevent a fire hazard.

 Reinstall the grease filters. When inserting the filters, make sure that the locking clip is facing down.

 If the filters have been installed incorrectly, you can insert a small screwdriver into the slit to disengage the locking clip.

After cleaning

 After cleaning, leave the filters on an absorbent surface to dry.

Air venting

WARNING: 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.

Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or in attics, crawl spaces or garages.

To reduce the risk of fire, only use metal ductwork.

Please read and follow the

"IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of personal injury. Follow all local building codes when installing the hood.

– Make sure that all connections are secure and airtight.

Remember that any constriction of the airflow will reduce extraction performance and increase operating noise.

 If the exhaust duct is to be routed through an outside wall, we recommend installing a telescopic wall vent or a rooftop vent (available as an optional accessory).

Only use smooth pipes or flexible duct hoses made from noncombustible materials for exhaust ductwork.

To achieve the greatest possible air extraction with the lowest noise levels, please note the following:

– The diameter of the exhaust duct should not be less than 6" (150 mm).

– If flat exhaust ducts are used, the cross section should not be smaller than that of the exhaust connector.

– The exhaust duct should be as short and straight as possible.

– If elbows are needed, make sure they have a large radius.

– The exhaust duct itself must not be kinked or compressed.

 If the exhaust air is conveyed into an exhaust air chimney, the inlet connector must face the flow direction.

 When installing the exhaust duct horizontally, a minimum slope of ¹/₈ inch per foot must be maintained to prevent condensate from flowing into the ventilation hood.

 If the exhaust duct is to be routed through cool rooms, ceilings, etc., the temperatures in these different areas may differ greatly. Therefore water condensation must be considered and the exhaust duct will need to be insulated.

Air venting

Condensate trap

In addition to insulating the exhaust duct, we recommend installing a condensate trap to collect and evaporate any condensate which might accumulate.

Condensate traps are available for exhaust ducts with a diameter of

5" (125 mm) or 6" (150 mm).

 When installing a condensate trap, make sure that it is positioned vertically and, if possible, directly above the hood outlet duct collar.

The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of airflow.
