Functional description  
The ventilation hood offers two modes  
of operation:  
Air extraction  
Recirculation mode  
Air is drawn through the grease filter  
and 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 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.  
The active charcoal filter and the  
installation kit may be purchased from  
your Miele.  
When the hood is turned on, the air  
pressure of the exhaust fan auto-  
matically opens the flap blowing the  
inside air and cooking odors outside.  
Before using the hood in  
recirculation mode, ensure that the  
active charcoal filter is in place, see  
"Cleaning and Care".

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  
Stainless steel colored controls  
,Never use abrasive cleaners,  
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.  
^ The exterior surfaces and controls  
can be cleaned with warm water and  
liquid dish soap applied with a soft  
sponge.  
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.  
Only use a slightly damp sponge  
when cleaning the controls. Water  
could penetrate into the electronics  
and cause damage.  
^ Glass surfaces can be cleaned using  
glass cleaner.  
Avoid:  
– cleaning agents containing soda,  
acids, chlorides or thinners,  
– 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,  
– limescale removers.  
These will damage the surface.  
17  
 
Cleaning and Care  
Grease filter  
Removing the grease filter  
The reusable metal grease filter  
removes solid particles from the vented  
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).  
The grease filter should be cleaned  
every 3 - 4 weeks or whenever the  
grease filter indicator lights red.  
^ To remove the grease filter pull the  
locking clip forward. Lower the filter  
45° unhook it at the rear and take it  
out. Support the grease filter so that it  
does not fall onto the cooktop.

prevent a fire hazard.  
18  
 
Cleaning and Care  
Cleaning the grease filter  
^ 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.  
^ If the filter is 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.  
^ After returning the grease filter, press  
the grease filter button for 3 seconds  
to reset the timer.  
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.  
The indicator light will go out.  
^ If the grease filter is cleaned before  
the grease filter timer has reached its  
maximum, the grease filter button  
should be pressed for 6 seconds to  
reset the counter to zero.  
Depending on the detergent,  
cleaning the grease filter 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 filter can be  
placed on a towel to air dry.  
^ While the filter is removed, clean any  
dirt or grease from the interior casing  
to prevent the risk of fire.  
^ When putting the grease filter back  
make sure that the locking clip is  
facing the cooking surface.  
19  
 
Cleaning and Care  
Active charcoal filter  
In recirculation mode an active  
charcoal filter must be used in addition  
to the grease filter. The charcoal filter is  
designed to absorb cooking odors.  
The active charcoal filter will be placed  
in the canopy above the grease filter.  
Replace the active charcoal filter when  
the grease/charcoal filter indicator  
lights blue, at least every 6 months or  
when they no longer absorb odors  
efficiently.  
Replacement active charcoal filters  
can be ordered from Miele.  
^ After replacing the charcoal filter,  
press the grease/charcoal filter  
button twice and hold for about  
3 seconds to reset the charcoal filter  
timer.

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 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 pull  
off the lamp cover, a.  
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 bulb, b, out of its socket and  
replace it with a new one.  
^ Return the lamp cover, a, making  
sure it clicks into place.  
Never use the lighting without the  
lamp cover, a, in place. The glass  
is specially made to filter harmful  
light rays.

Distance between cooktop and  
hood (S)  
Do not install this exhaust hood over  
cooktops burning solid fuel.  
The installation procedure differs  
depending on the model and venting  
method.  
Provided a larger distance is not  
given by the manufacturer of the  
cooktop, follow the minimum safety  
distances between a cooktop and  
the bottom of the hood:  
Before beginning the installation:  
^ Read all instructions.  
^ Determine height (S), regarding the  
user’s body height, i.e. a comfortable  
height for the user.  
- 22" (550 mm) above electric  
cooktops,  
- 30" (762 mm) above gas cooktops,  
- 26" (650 mm) above an open  
electric grill or an open electric  
boiler/fryer.  
However, the greater the distance the  
less effectively cooking odors are  
drawn in.  
^ If the hood is fitted flush to the  
ceiling, regard the possible unit  
height when selecting the installation  
height.  
If local building codes require a  
greater safety distance, follow their  
requirement.  
Standard unit height H  
If there is more than one appliance  
beneath the hood and they have  
different minimum safety distances  
always select the greater distance.

Installation  
Installation instructions  
Dismantling  
^ See the enclosed installation  
instruction sheet.  
If the hood needs to be disassembled,  
follow the instructions on the installation  
sheet in the reverse order.  
^ Please read the "Important Safety  
Instructions" and Installation  
instructions before installing this  
hood.  
A lever is enclosed for easier removal  
of the chimney extension.  
Protective film  
The casing is covered with a protective  
film to prevent scratching during  
transport.  
^ Peel off the film before installing the  
casing parts.  
^ After removing the screws from the  
chimney, slide the lever between the  
chimney and the chimney extension  
and gently apply pressure to ease  
the chimney from its hooks.

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

Air extraction  
Condensate trap  
optional accessory  
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  
5 7/8" (150 mm) in diameter.  
– 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.  
^ 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.
