Functional description  
The ventilation hood works by air  
extraction. The air is drawn in and  
cleaned by the grease filter 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.

Cleaning and care  
Stainless steel  
Before cleaning or servicing the  
hood, disconnect it from the power  
supply by either removing the fuse,  
unplugging it from the outlet or  
manually "tripping" the circuit  
breaker.  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned  
using a non-abrasive stainless steel  
cleaner.  
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner  
for stainless steel can also be used.  
Apply sparingly with even pressure.  
Cleaning the casing  
Controls  
,Never use abrasive cleaners,  
scouring pads, steel wool, thinner or  
caustic (oven) cleaners on the hood.  
They will damage the surface.  
These controls may become  
discolored or damaged if not  
cleaned regularly.  
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner  
on these controls.  
^ All external surfaces and controls can  
be cleaned with warm water and  
liquid dish soap applied with a soft  
sponge.  
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.  
Do not use too much water when  
cleaning the controls. Water could  
penetrate into the electronics and  
cause damage.  
^ Glass surfaces can be cleaned using  
a glass cleaner.  
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.  
16  
 
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.  
^ 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.  
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.  
17  
 
Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the grease filter  
^ After cleaning, the filters can be  
placed on a towel to air dry.  
^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a  
solution of warm water and mild  
detergent.  
Do not use pure detergent,  
aggressive all purpose cleaners,  
oven sprays, abrasive cleaning  
agents or limescale removers. They  
could destroy the filter.  
^ 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.  
If the filters are incorrectly installed,  
insert a small screwdriver into the slit  
along its edge to disengage it from the  
casing.  
^ In a dishwasher: place the filter  
vertically in the lower basket, making  
sure that the spray arm is not  
blocked.  
Use a hot temperature program,  
e.g. "Heavy Soil" or "Pots and pans".  
Use the recommended amount of  
dishwasher detergent. Overuse could  
destroy the filter.  
^ 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.  
^ 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.  
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.  
18  
 
Cleaning and care  
Changing the light bulb  
Before changing the light bulbs,  
disconnect the hood from the power  
supply by either removing the fuse,  
unplugging it, or manually "tripping"  
the circuit breaker.  
When in use halogen bulbs become  
extremely hot, and they can burn  
your hands. Do not attempt to  
change the bulbs until they have  
had sufficient time to cool.  
^ Remove the outer ring, a.  
^ Support the glass, c, while  
detaching the circlip, b. Be careful  
not to let the glass fall out.  
Do not touch the bulb surface.  
Fingerprints or body oils will  
decrease the life of the bulb. Please  
follow the bulb manufacturer’s  
instructions.  
^ Pull the old bulb, d, out of its socket  
and replace it with a new one.  
^ Reinstall the glass, circlip and outer  
ring.

Air extraction  
Danger of toxic fumes.  
,WARNING  
Gas cooking appliances release  
carbon monoxide that can be  
harmful or fatal if inhaled. The  
exhaust gases extracted by the  
hood should be vented outside of  
the building only.  
Do not terminate the exhaust  
ducts in attics, garages,  
crawlspaces, etc.  
To reduce the risk of fire only use  
metal ductwork.  
CAUTION  
To reduce the risk of fire and to  
properly exhaust air, be sure to duct  
air outside. Do not vent exhaust air  
into spaces within walls or ceilings,  
or into attics, crawl spaces, or  
garages.  
Please read and follow the "Important  
Safety Instructions" to reduce the risk  
of personal injury. Follow all local  
building codes when installing the  
hood.  
– Use smooth or flexible pipes made  
from approved non-flammable  
materials for exhaust ducting.  
– 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.  
Exhaust ducting and connections  
– The ducting should be as short and  
straight as possible, and the number  
of sharp bends should be minimized.  
– If the exhaust is ducted through an  
outside wall, a Miele Telescopic Wall  
Vent can be used.  
– For most efficient air extraction, the  
diameter of the ductwork should not  
be less than 6" (150 mm). Use of flat  
ducts also reduces the air extraction  
efficiency.  
– Noise levels of the hood will increase  
if flat or round ducts of less than 6"  
(150 mm) in diameter are used.  
31  
 
Air extraction  
Condensate trap

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  
Never connect an exhaust hood to  
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent  
flue, or room venting ductwork.  
Seek professional advice before

an existing, inactive chimney or vent  
flue.  
evaporate any condensate which may  
occur. This optional accessory is  
available for ducts 5" (125 mm) and  
5 7/8" (150 mm) in diameter.  
When installing a condensate trap,  
ensure that it is positioned vertically  
and if possible directly above the  
exhaust outlet. The arrow on the  
casing shows the venting direction.  
Important!  
If the ductwork runs through rooms,  
ceilings, garages, etc. where  
temperature variations exist, it may  
need to be insulated to reduce  
condensation.
