Functional description  
The hood offers two modes of  
operation:  
Air extraction  
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.

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 be applied.  
Cleaning the casing  
Stainless steel colored controls  
Warning: Never use abrasive clean-  
ers, scouring pads, steel wool or  
caustic (oven) cleaners on the hood.  
They will damage the surface.  
These controls may become dis-  
colored 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 liq-  
uid dish soap applied with a soft  
sponge.  
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.

cleaning the controls. Water could  
penetrate the electronics and cause  
damage.  
^ Glass surfaces can be cleaned using  
glass cleaner.  
15  
 
 
Cleaning and Care  
Grease filters  
Cleaning the grease filters  
The reusable metal grease filters  
remove solid particles from the vented  
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).  
^ Clean the filters  
- by hand: use a scrub brush in  
warm water with a mild detergent.  
- in a dishwasher: place the filters  
vertically in the lower basket, making  
sure that the spray arm is not  
blocked.  
The grease filters should be cleaned  
every 3 - 4 weeks or whenever the  
grease filter indicator lights.  
Depending on the detergent, clean-  
ing 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.  
^ To remove the grease filters press the  
locking clips in towards the middle of  
the filter. Support grease filter so that  
it does not fall on to the cooktop.  
16  
 
 
Cleaning and Care  
Inserting the grease filters  
When putting the grease filters back  
make sure that the locking clips are  
visible 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.  
^ After returning the grease filters,  
press 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.  
17  
 
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 down.  
^ To change the halogen bulb first  
remove the lamp cover, a.  
^ Pull the bulb, b, out of its socket and  
replace with a new one.  
Do not touch the bulb surface.  
Fingerprints or body oils deposited  
on the bulb will decrease the life of  
the bulb.  
Follow the bulb manufacturer’s  
instructions.  
^ Return the lamp cover, a.  
Never use the lighting without the  
lamp cover, a, in place. The glass is  
specially made to filter harmful light  
rays.

cooktops burning solid fuel.  
When installing the hood, adhere to  
the following minimum distance (S)  
between the top of a Miele cooking  
surface and the bottom of the hood:  
- 22" (55 cm) above electric cooktops  
- 26" (65 cm) above gas cooktops  
- 26" (65 cm) above an open grill  
For non-Miele appliances, maintain  
the safety distances recommended  
by the cooktop manufacturer in their  
installation instructions.  
If there is more than one appliance  
beneath the hood and they have  
different minimum safety distances  
always select the greater distance.  
^ Mark a line on the ceiling going from  
the rear of the cooktop towards the  
front and centered over the cooktop.  
^ Cut a 7 1/2" (190 mm) hole in the  
ceiling for the exhaust duct to pass  
through. The exhaust connection has  
a 6" (150 mm) diameter.  
Observe local building codes.  
See "Important Safety Instructions"  
for further information.  
26" (65 cm) is recommended for all  
installations to allow for optimum work  
space under the hood.  
CAUTION:  
During the installation process,  
please be careful of sharp edges  
that can cause harm.  
27  
 
 
Installation  
^ Feed the ductwork and power cord  
through their respective holes in the  
ceiling.  
If 6" (150 mm) ductwork is not possible  
then 5" (125 mm) ductwork can be  
used in conjunction with a reducing  
collar available from Technical Service  
(see "Installation / Air extraction" for  
further details).  
^ Hold the mounting plate up to the  
ceiling so that the orange arrow faces  
the front of the hood and aligns with  
the line drawn on the ceilling.  
Mark the position of the four mount-  
ing bolts a for securing the mounting  
plate and determining the position of  
the hole the power cord b will pass  
through.  
Select the hole providing the shortest  
route for the power cable b to reach  
the power terminal located at the top  
of the hood’s chimney.  
^ Drill four 3/16" (5 mm) holes in the  
ceiling.  
The S10 wall anchors included in the  
packaging are not for use in  
USA/CDN.  
Be certain that the ceiling is stable  
enough to support the hood.  
28  
 
Installation  
^ Secure the ducting to the mounting  
plate using a hose clip.  
^ Insert the short edge of the two  
spring clips into their slots from  
below and pivot them 90° so that the  
tab faces the center of the mounting  
brake.  
^ Pull the power cord through the  
mounting plate.  
^ Insert the four countersunk screws  
M 6 x 20 into the recessed holes from  
above.  
^ Tape the screws from above to  
prevent them from being pushed  
upwards when the nuts are tightened.  
29  
 
Installation  
^ Screw the mounting plate through the  
ceiling and into the structural framing  
using 8 x 60 lag bolts and washers.  
Once tight, make sure that the  
mounting plate can safely support  
the weight of the hood.  
^ Using at least two people, lift the  
hood and guide the spring clips  
through their respective slots in the  
flange at the top of the chimney.  
Make sure they click into place and that  
the hood is hanging securely from the  
spring clips before allowing them to  
carry the weight.  
30  
 
Installation  
^ Bolt the flange firmly to the ceiling  
using the four M6 nuts.  
^ Finally, being careful not to scratch  
the chimney, push the cover plate up  
until the spring fixing clips click into  
place. If installed correctly, the cover  
should be secure and flush against  
the ceiling.  
^ Shorten the power cord as much as  
possible and attach it to the terminal  
block inside the chimney. See  
"Electrical data".  
Before making the electrical connec-  
tion read the "Important Safety  
Instructions" and "Electrical data"  
sections.  
^ Before using the appliance remove  
the grease filter and remove the  
protective foil from the filter frame.  
Reseat the filter.

Air extraction  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of fire, only use  
metal ductwork.  
Danger of toxic fumes.  
Gas cooking appliances release  
carbon monoxide that can be harm-  
ful 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.  
CAUTION  
To reduce 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.  
– Use smooth or flexible pipes made  
from approved non-flammable  
materials for exhaust ducting.  
Please read and follow the "Important  
Safety Instructions" to reduce the risk  
of personal injury. Follow all local build-  
ing codes when installing the hood.  
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it  
must slope away from the hood at  
least 1/8" per foot (1cm 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 ducts or round ducts of less  
than 6" (150 mm) in diameter are  
used.  
32  
 
 
Air extraction  
– 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, vent  
flue, or room venting ductwork. Seek  
professional advice before connect-  
ing an exhaust hood vent to an  
existing, inactive chimney or vent  
flue.  
– If the ductwork runs through rooms,  
ceilings, garages, etc. where temper-  
ature variations exist, it may need to  
be insulated to reduce condensation.  
In some cases, a condensate trap  
may also be required to collect and  
evaporate any condensate which  
may occur.  
When installing a condensate trap,  
ensure that it is positioned vertically  
and if possible directly above the  
exhaust outlet.
