Functional description  
The hood offers two modes of  
operation:  
Air extraction  
Recirculation mode  
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the  
grease filters and directed 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 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.  
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  
Avoid:  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR  
INJURY TO PERSONS,  
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:  
– 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.  
Before cleaning or servicing the  
hood, disconnect it from the power  
supply, see "Important Safety  
Instructions".  
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.  
,The halogen bulbs are very hot  
when in use. They stay hot for some  
time after turned off. Use caution,  
danger of burns.  
Wet cleaning the hot bulbs will  
cause damage.  
Stainless steel  
Wait a few minutes after turning  
them off before cleaning.  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned  
using a non-abrasive stainless steel  
cleaner.  
Cleaning the casing  
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner  
for stainless steel can be applied.  
Never use abrasive cleaners,  
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic  
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They  
will damage the surface.  
Stainless steel colored controls  
These controls may become dis-  
colored or damaged if not cleaned  
regularly.  
^ All external surfaces and controls can  
be cleaned with a mild solution of  
warm water and liquid dish soap  
applied with a soft sponge.  
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner  
on these controls.  
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.  
Do not use too much water when  
cleaning the controls. Water could  
penetrate the electronics and cause  
damage.  
^ Glass surfaces can be cleaned using  
a glass cleaner.  
17  
 
Cleaning and Care  
Grease filters  
^ In a dishwasher: place the filter  
vertically in the lower basket, making  
sure that the spray arm is not  
blocked.  
The reusable metal grease filters  
remove solid particles from the vented  
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).  
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.  
The grease filters should be cleaned  
every 3 - 4 weeks or when the grease  
filter indicator lights.  
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.  
,A dirty filter is a fire hazard.  
^ 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.  
When putting the grease filters back  
make sure that the locking clips are  
visibly facing the cooking surface.  
^ 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.  
If the filters are incorrectly installed,  
insert a small screwdriver into the slit  
along its edge to disengage it from the  
casing.  
^ After returning the grease filters,  
press and hold the grease filter  
button for 3 seconds to reset the  
timer. The indicator light will go out.  
Cleaning the grease filter  
^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a  
solution of warm water and mild  
detergent.  
^ If the grease filters are cleaned  
before the grease filter timer has  
reached its maximum, press the  
grease filter button for 6 seconds to  
reset the counter to zero.  
Do not use the pure detergent,  
aggressive all purpose cleaners,  
oven sprays, abrasive cleaning  
agents or limescale removers. They  
could destroy the filter.  
18  
 
Cleaning and Care  
Active charcoal filter  
In recirculation mode an active  
charcoal filter must be used in addition  
to the grease filters. It is designed to  
absorb cooking odors.  
The active charcoal filter will be  
replaced in the canopy above the  
grease filters.  
Replacement active charcoal filters  
can be ordered from Miele.  
^ Insert the charcoal filter.  
Before using:  
^ Remove the grease filters to access  
the charcoal filter. See "Cleaning and  
Care".  
^ Program the charcoal filter timer, see  
"Operation / Reprogramming the  
charcoal filter timer".  
Replace the active charcoal filter when  
the charcoal filter indicator lights, at  
least every 6 months or when they no  
longer absorb odors efficiently.  
^ After replacing the charcoal filter,  
press and hold the charcoal filter  
button for about 3 seconds to reset  
the charcoal filter timer.  
The indicator light will go out.  
If the charcoal filter is replaced before  
the timer has reached its maximum, the  
charcoal filter button should be pressed  
for 6 seconds to reset the counter to  
zero.  
19  
 
Cleaning and Care  
Changing the light bulbs  
,WARNING  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR  
INJURY TO PERSONS,  
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:  
Before changing the light bulbs,  
disconnect the hood from the power  
supply, see "Important Safety  
Instructions".  
When in use halogen bulbs become  
extremely hot, and can burn your  
hands. Do not attempt to change the  
bulbs until they have had sufficient  
time to cool.  
^ To change the halogen bulb, first  
gently press the light cover. The  
cover will open and can now be  
flipped down.  
Do not touch the bulb surface.  
Fingerprints or body oils deposited  
on the bulb will decrease its life.  
Please follow the manufacturer’s  
instructions.  
^ Pull the halogen bulb from its socket,  
then insert a new bulb (type 12V,  
20W, G4).  
^ Flip the light cover back up, making

– If several gas surfaces are installed under the hood, the total output must be  
considered when determining the minimum safety distance.  
– Be sure to follow the minimum safety distances given by the gas cooktop  
manufacturer to easily flammable materials e.g. upper cabinets.  
– If local building codes require a greater safety distance, follow their  
requirement.  
– If there is more than one appliance beneath the hood and they have different  
minimum safety distances always select the greater distance.

Plywood backing  
^ Find the studs to the left and right of  
the mounting location by tapping the  
wall or using a stud finder.  
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.  
^ 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.  
(If plywood backing is not needed,  
proceed to the included "Installation  
diagram".)  
^ Proceed to the enclosed "Installation  
diagram" to complete the installation.  
To install a plywood backing  
^ 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  
Exhaust ducting and connections  
,WARNING  
Use smooth or flexible pipwork made  
from approved non-flammable  
materials for exhaust ducting.  
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.  
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.  
Do not vent exhaust air into  
spaces within walls or ceilings or  
in attics, crawl spaces or garages.  
– The ducting should be as short and  
straight as possible.  
– Use ductwork with a wide raduis.  
To reduce the risk of fire, only use  
metal ductwork.  
– The exhaust duct must not be bent  
or compressed.  
Please read and follow the  
– Make sure all connections are  
secure.  
"IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of  
personal injury. Follow all local building  
codes when installing the hood.  
– 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.  
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.  
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.  
^ 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.
