Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your appliance.  
Please do not therefore dispose of your  
old appliance with your household  
waste.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for  
disposal, and can normally be  
recycled.  
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  
materials safely as soon as possible.  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection / recycling  
centre and ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
It should be unplugged or disconnected  
from the mains electricity supply by a  
competent person. If connected by a  
plug, the plug must be rendered  
useless and the cable cut off directly  
behind the appliance to prevent  
misuse. See the "Warning and Safety"  
section of this booklet for further details.

Warning and Safety instructions  
The appliance is only completely  
isolated from the electricity supply  
when:  
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.  
– it is switched off at the isolator,  
– 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and the plug withdrawn,  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connection unit is withdrawn,  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or  
When using the cooker hood over  
a gas hob, ensure that any burners  
in use are always covered by a pan;  
otherwise flames could be drawn up by  
the suction of the cooker hood, parts of  
which could then be damaged.  
– 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).  
Always switch the cooker hood on  
when a cooking zone is in use,  
otherwise condensation may collect in  
the hood, which could cause corrosion.  
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.  
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.  
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 which may be caused by  
cockroaches or other vermin will not be  
covered by the guarantee.  
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.  
The 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.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Safety with children  
The minimum safety distances  
between the top of a cooker or hob  
The appliance is only intended for  
and the bottom of the cooker hood are  
as follows, unless a greater distance is  
specified by the manufacturer of your  
cooking appliance:  
use by adults who have read these  
instructions. Keep children well away  
from the appliance at all times and  
supervise them when you are using it.  
– 550 mm above electric hobs and  
cookers,  
Older children may use the  
appliance only when its operation  
has been clearly explained to them and – 650 mm above gas hobs and  
they are able to use it safely,  
cookers,  
recognising the dangers of misuse.  
– 650 mm above an open grill or deep  
fat fryer.  
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.  
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.  
If the distance falls below the  
recommended safety distance when  
the canopy is lowered, the max. interval  
it is allowed to be lowered must be  
re-set during installation. See the  
installation instructions for further  
advice.  
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.  
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.  
Installation  
Safety regulations prohibit the  
fitting of a cooker hood over solid  
fuel stoves.  
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.

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  
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.  
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.  
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 such as carbon  
monoxide could be drawn out of the  
chimney or extraction ducting back  
into the room, with potentially fatal  
consequences.

Warning and Safety instructions  
One of the following technical  
measures may be necessary to ensure  
safe operation.  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Before disposing of your old  
appliance, first make it unusable.  
This should be done by a competent  
person.  
– 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.  
The manufacturer cannot be held  
liable for damage caused by  
non-compliance with these Warning  
and Safety instructions.  
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 control module DSM 400  
offers the possibility of combining such  
components with the cooker hood (see  
"Operation with a control module").  
This 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.

Modes of operation  
The cooker hood works with  
. . . air recirculation:  
(Applies to the DA 420 V only. A  
conversion kit and charcoal filter are  
required, which are available as  
optional accessories: see "Technical  
Data")  
. . . air extraction:  
The air is drawn in, cleaned by the  
grease filters and directed 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 telescopic tower.  
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.  
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.

Cleaning and care  
without the use of chemicals.  
Avoid:  
Before carrying out any cleaning or  
maintenance work, disconnect the  
cooker hood from the mains supply.  
Ensure that:  
– cleaning agents containing soda,  
acids, chlorides or solvents,  
– it is switched off at the isolator, or  
– it is switched off at the wall socket  
and the plug removed, or  
– the fuse is withdrawn from the  
fused spur connection unit, or  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or  
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in  
countries where this is applicable).  
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.  
powder cleaners or cream cleaners  
and abrasive sponges, as well as pot  
scourers or sponges which have  
been used previously with abrasive  
cleaning agents.  
These will damage the surface  
material.  
Important for appliances with  
stainless steel housing  
Housing  
(This infomation does not apply to the  
controls).  
General notes  
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.  
The surfaces and controls are  
susceptible to scratches and  
abrasions. Please observe the  
following cleaning instructions.  
To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary  
conditioning agent for stainless steel,  
e.g. Neoblank (available from the Miele  
Spare Parts Dept.) can also be used.  
Apply sparingly, following the  
instructions on the label, with an even  
pressure in the direction of the "grain".  
^ All external surfaces and controls can  
be cleaned using warm water with a  
little washing-up liquid applied with a  
well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.  
^ Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft  
cloth.  
Do not use too much water when  
cleaning the controls. Water could  
penetrate into the electronics and  
cause damage.  
Important for appliances with  
lacquered housing  
(special 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.  
^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available  
from the Miele UK Spare Parts  
Department which is suitable for  
cleaning surfaces such as stainless  
steel, glass, plastic and chrome

Cleaning and care  
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.  
Do not use stainless steel cleaning  
agents on the controls.  
^ 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.  
Grease filters  
To avoid damaging the filter or the  
hob below, make sure you hold the  
filter securely at all times when  
handling it.  
Re-usable metal filters are fitted which  
remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc.)  
from the kitchen vapours, preventing  
soiling of the cooker hood.  
The grease filters should be cleaned  
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to  
avoid a build-up of grease.  
^ Clean the filters  
- by hand: with a soft nylon brush,  
warm water and a little washing up  
liquid.  
- in a dishwasher: place filters  
upright in the lower basket, and wash  
on a 65° programme, ensuring that  
the spray arm is not obstructed.  
However, they should be cleaned im-  
mediately if the grease filter touch  
control lamp comes on.  
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.  
An oversaturated filter is a fire  
hazard.

inserted in addition to the grease filters.  
It is designed to absorb cooking  
odours.  
It is fitted in the canopy above the  
grease filters.  
^ 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.  
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).  
If the grease filters are inadvertently  
replaced upside down, insert a small  
screwdriver blade into the slits to  
disengage the clip.  
^ After replacing the grease filters,  
press the grease filter touch control  
for approx. 3 seconds to re-set the  
operating hours counter.  
The indicator lamp will go out.

Cleaning and care  
Always replace the charcoal filter imme-  
diately if  
– the indicator lamp for the charcoal  
filter touch control 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 re-set the  
operating hours counter.  
The indicator lamp will go out.  
^ If a 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.

Cleaning and care  
Changing a halogen lamp  
Before any cleaning or maintenance  
work, the cooker hood must be  
disconnected from the mains supply.  
Ensure that, depending on  
connection:  
– it is switched off at the isolator, or  
– it is switched off at the wall socket  
and the plug is removed, or  
– the fuse is withdrawn from the  
fused spur connection unit, or  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or  
– the screw-out fuse is removed  
(in countries where this is

applicable).  
^ Replace the lamp cover a carefully,  
making sure it engages securely in  
position.  
Exercise caution when changing  
halogen lamps. They get very hot  
during use and remain hot for some  
time after being switched off.  
Never use the lighting without the  
lamp cover in place. It has a filter  
designed to cut out harmful rays.  
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.

Safety distance between hob and  
cooker hood (S)  
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 gas hobs and  
cookers,  
– 650 mm above an open grill or  
deep fat fryer.  
For further advice, see "Warning and  
Safety".  
If the distance falls below the  
recommended safety distance when  
the canopy is lowered, the max. interval  
it is allowed to be lowered must be  
re-set during installation. See the  
installation instructions for further  
advice.

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, which could result in the  
build-up of toxic fumes.

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).  
For extra safety it is advisable to install  
a residual current device (RCD) with a  
trip current of 30 mA.

Operation with Control module DSM 400  
The Miele DSM 400 Control module can  
be used to combine the cooker hood  
with other components.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
It is important to ensure that the fan  
power is sufficient and that the air  
intake has a suitable cross-sectional  
diameter.  
The cooker hood lighting is not affected  
by this.  
...EXT models can also be combined  
with a window contact switch.  
– 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.

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 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.  
29  
 
 
Connection for air extraction  
– Where ducting is horizontal, it must  
be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm  
per metre.  
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.  
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.  
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into  
a vent flue, the ducting must be  
directed in the flow direction of the  
flue.  
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.  
30  
 
 
Connection for air extraction  
Important:  
Cooker hoods designated for use with  
an external motor (...EXT models), have  
an integrated condensate trap.  
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  
Silencer  
problem of condensation will need to  
be addressed. The exhaust ducting will  
need to be suitably insulated.  
(optional accessory for ...EXT models  
only)  
To achieve even further reductions in  
noise levels, ...EXT models can have a  
special silencer fitted in the ducting  
system.  
Condensate trap  
(optional accessory)  
It can be sited at any suitable position  
in the ducting system between the  
cooker hood and the external motor.  
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.
