The hood offers two modes of operation:

Air extraction

Functional description

Recirculation mode

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

Air is drawn through the grease filters and an active charcoal filter. The filtered air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through a vent at the top of the hood’s chimney.

The recirculation mode requires an install kit and charcoal filter which are optional accessories.

Before using the hood in recirculation mode, ensure that the active charcoal filter is in place, see

"Cleaning and care".

Cleaning and Care

,WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR

INJURY TO PERSONS,

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Before cleaning or servicing the hood, disconnect it from the power supply, see "Important Safety

Instructions".

Cleaning the casing

Avoid:

– 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.

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.

Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic

(oven) cleaners on the hood. They

will damage the surface.

^ All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned with a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge.

^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.

To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner for stainless steel can be applied.

Do not use too much water when cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate the electronics and cause damage.

Stainless steel colored controls

^ Glass surfaces can be cleaned using a glass cleaner.

These controls may become discolored or damaged if not cleaned regularly.

Do not use a stainless steel cleaner on these controls.

17

Cleaning and Care

Grease filters

The reusable metal grease filters remove solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).

The grease filters should be cleaned every 3 - 4 weeks or when the grease filter indicator lights.

,

A dirty filter is a fire hazard.

^ To remove the grease filters pull the locking clips, 1, forward. Lower the filter 45°, 2, unhook it at the rear, 3, and take it out. Support the grease filter so that it does not fall onto the cooktop.

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.

18

^ 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 filters in a dishwasher may cause permanent discoloration of the filter surface.

Performance of the filter will not be affected by this discoloration.

^ After cleaning, the filters can be placed on a towel to air dry.

^ While the filters are removed, clean any dirt or grease from the filter casing to prevent the risk of fire.

The majority of the weight of the installed ventilation system will be supported by the lower retaining plate. It must be firmly attached to the stud framing behind the drywall.

If studs are not available in the required locations, a plywood backing (min. ½" (13 mm) thick) spanning at least two studs must be installed. Failure to adequately support the weight as stated may result in the ventilation system falling off the wall, causing personal injury and property damage.

(If plywood backing is not needed, proceed to the included "Installation diagram".)

To install a plywood backing

Plywood backing

^ Find the studs to the left and right of the mounting location by tapping the wall or using a stud finder.

^ Mark a vertical cutting line along the center of each stud.

,

CAUTION

When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

^ Remove the drywall between the cutting lines and replace it with plywood of a matching thickness

(min. ½" (13 mm) thick). Tape the joints and refinish the wall.

^ Proceed to the enclosed "Installation diagram" to complete the installation.

^ Determine and mark the location of the retaining plate for the canopy as outlined on the "Installation diagram".

^ Make a cutting line 3" (76 mm) above and 3" (76 mm) below the outline of the retaining plate.

Air extraction

,

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.

Exhaust ducting and connections

Use smooth or flexible pipwork made from approved non-flammable materials for exhaust ducting.

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.

– The ducting should be as short and straight as possible.

– Use ductwork with a wide raduis.

– The exhaust duct must not be bent or compressed.

– Make sure all connections are secure.

– 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.

33

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.

^ 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.
