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 in each chimney. 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
Stainless steel colored controls
,Never use on the hood:
These controls may become dis-
colored or damaged if not cleaned
regularly.
- cleaning agents containing soda,
acids, chlorides or thinners,
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
on these controls.
- abrasive cleaning agents
e.g. powder or cream cleansers,
- steel wool or abrasive sponges,
e.g. pot scourers or sponges which
have been previously used with
abrasive cleaning agents,
- limescale removers,
- caustic (oven) cleaners.
They will damage the surface.
^ 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.
16
Cleaning and care
Grease filters
Removing the grease filter
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 whenever the
grease filter indicator lights.
^ To remove the grease filters 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.
Keep the grease filters clean to
prevent a fire hazard.
17
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the grease filters
^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a
solution of warm water and mild
detergent.
Do not use the 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.
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 cleaning and returning the grease
filters the timer must be reset.
^ While the fan is on, press and hold
the grease filter control until only the
first "-/+" indicator is flashing.
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.
^ The second grease filters must also
be reset in the same way, even if the
timer has not yet reached its
maximum.
^ 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 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.
18
Cleaning and care
Changing the light bulbs
Disconnect the exhaust hood from
the power supply by either shutting
off the main breaker or completely
removing the fuse.
Note: The appliance has 2 electrical
connections, each must be
disconnected from the main power
supply.
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.
Do not touch the bulb surface.
Fingerprints or body oils deposited
on the bulb will decrease its life.
Please follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
^ To change the halogen bulb, first
gently press the light cover. The
cover will open and can now be
flipped down.

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 vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings or
in attics, crawl spaces, or garages
– 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.
28
Air extraction
Condensate trap
optional accessory
In some cases, a 2 condensate traps
may be required to collect and
evaporate any condensation which may
develop. 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 the condensate traps,
ensure that they are 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.
