Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on the safety, installation, use and maintenance of the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: – it is switched off at the isolator, or – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug withdrawn, or – the fuse from the fused spur connection unit is withdrawn, or – the mains fuse is withdrawn, or – the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable). Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead.
Warning and Safety instructions Safety with children Installation The appliance is only intended for use by adults who have read these instructions. The minimum safety distances between the top of a cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood are as follows, unless a greater distance is specified by the manufacturer of your cooking appliance: This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, keep children well away, and do not allow them to play with it or use the controls.
Warning and Safety instructions Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by the heating appliances from being drawn back into the room when the extractor and the heater are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible.
Warning and Safety instructions One of the following technical measures may be necessary to ensure safe operation. – If the only way of ensuring adequate ventilation is via an open window, a window contact switch should be fitted to ensure that the cooker hood can only operate when the window is opened sufficiently. A window contact switch kit is available from good builders' merchants. Take care when ventilating the room through an open window that ventilation is not impaired by a closed blind or curtain.
Brief description The cooker hood works with . . . air extraction: . . . air recirculation: The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside. (...U models only) If the on-site ventilation system does not have a non-return flap, the non-return flap supplied with the appliance must be fitted in the exhaust socket in the motor unit. Having a non-return flap fitted in the ducting ensures that air, once ducted to the outside, cannot get back into the room again.

Operation Filter operating hours counter The number of hours the appliance has been in operation is stored in memory. The operating hours counter tells you when the grease filters need to be cleaned. Resetting the operating hours counter for the grease filters After 30 hours of operation (or another time if the operating hours counter has been altered), the grease filter indicator lamp will light up. The grease filters must then be cleaned.
Operation Altering the filter operating hours counter The filter operating hours counter is set at 30 hours. This can be lengthened or shortened to suit the type of cooking you do. You can choose 20, 30, 40 or 50 hours – Select a short time if you roast or fry a lot.
Cleaning and care Before any cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply. Ensure that: – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug withdrawn, or – the fuse from the fused spur connection unit is withdrawn, or – the mains fuse is withdrawn, or – the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).
Cleaning and care Important for appliances with lacquered housing (special order finish) It is very difficult to clean this type of surface without causing minor marks to the surface material. This can become particularly noticeable with darker colours and if there is halogen lighting in the kitchen. Controls The controls may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long. Remove soiling straight away. Observe the General notes on cleaning earlier in this section.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the grease filters by hand ^ Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and a little washing-up liquid. Do not use "neat" washing up liquid. When putting the grease filters back in position, ensure that the locking clips are facing down towards the hob.
Cleaning and care Fitting / replacing the active charcoal filters If the cooker hood is connected for recirculation two active charcoal filters must be inserted in addition to the grease filters. These filters absorb normal kitchen odours. They are fitted in the canopy above the grease filters. Active charcoal filters can be obtained from your dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department. Refer to the section "Technical data" for type and reference number. The filters are supplied with fitting instructions.
Cleaning and care Changing a light bulb Disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply by – switching it off at the wall socket and removing the plug (do not pull on the cable, only on the plug), or – withdrawing the fuse from the fused spur connection unit (if accessible), or – withdrawing the mains fuse, or – removing the screw-out fuse, (in countries where this is applicable). Hob illumination Changing a halogen light bulb When in use the halogen bulbs become very hot.
Cleaning and care Feature lighting Changing the compact light tube ^ To change the light tube loosen the two screws on the lamp cover and then take the cover off. ^ Carefully lift the light tube upwards out of the holder and pull it out as illustrated. ^ Fit the new light tube into the holder and lower it into position, making sure it sits securely in the holder. ^ Refit the lamp cover using the two screws.

Installation Before installation, it is important to read the information given on the following pages as well as the "Appliance dimensions" and the "Warning and Safety instructions" at the beginning of this booklet. This is particularly crucial when using the cooker hood at the same time as a heating appliance that relies on oxygen from the same room to avoid the danger of toxic fumes building up. Installation instructions See enclosed Installation sheet for instructions on how to install this appliance.
Connection for air extraction Important: To avoid the danger of toxic fumes please observe the Warning and Safety instructions. This is especially crucial when using the cooker hood at the same time as another heating appliance which relies on air from the same room. The cooker hood should be installed according to local and national building regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary. – Where ducting is horizontal, it must be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm per metre.
Connection for air extraction Important: Silencer If the exhaust ducting is to run through rooms, ceiling space etc. where there may be great variations in temperature between the different areas, the problem of condensation will need to be addressed. The exhaust ducting will need to be suitably insulated. Condensate trap (optional accessory) To achieve even further reductions in noise levels, a special silencer can be fitted in the ducting system.
Electrical connection be provided for all poles. All electrical work should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous, for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation or repair work has been carried out.
Operation with Control module DSM 400 The Miele DSM 400 Control module can be used to combine the cooker hood with other components. It enables the following: Connection to a window contact switch If adequate ventilation to the room can only be ensured by having a window open when the cooker hood is in use at the same time as a heating appliance which depends on the air from the same room, then the control module can be used to connect a window contact switch (not supplied) to the appliance.
Operation with Control module DSM 400 Connection to a light switch The control module can be used to switch on the cooker hood lighting and also to dim it, depending on model, via a light switch in the house.
