Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety ~ Before installation, check the cooker hood for visible signs of damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. ~ Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency details given on the data plate correspond with the household electricity supply, otherwise the appliance could be damaged. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room Warning - danger of toxic fumes ~ For appliances with an external fan motor (...EXT models) the connection of the two units must be made using the connection cable and the plug connectors.
Warning and Safety instructions 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 cooker hood and the heating appliance are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible.
Warning and Safety instructions Correct use ~ Never use an open flame beneath the cooker hood. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter. Fat particles drawn into the cooker hood present a fire hazard. ~ When using the cooker hood over a gas hob, ensure that any burners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the cooking zone off when a pan is removed, even for a short time.
Warning and Safety instructions Correct installation Accessories ~ Refer to the cooker or hob manufacturer's instructions as to whether a cooker hood may be operated above the cooker/hob. ~ Only use genuine Miele original ~ The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood given in the "Appliance dimensions" section of this booklet must be maintained, unless the hob manufacturer states that a greater safety distance is required.

Modes of operation The cooker hood works with . . . air recirculation: . . . air extraction: (this requires an optional conversion kit and charcoal filter: see "Technical Data") The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside. 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.
Operation To switch the fan on s ^ Press the On/Off control s. The fan will come on at power level lI. To select a power level - / + ^ To select a lower power level, press the – symbol, or to select a higher power level, press the + symbol. Depending on the intensity of the cooking vapours, levels "I" to "III" are usually sufficient for normal cooking.
Operation To switch the fan off s ^ Press the On/Off control s to switch the fan off. The s symbol goes out. It is advisable to run the fan for a few minutes after cooking has finished to neutralise any lingering odours in the air, whether you are using air extraction or recirculation mode. Hob lighting I ^ The hob lighting can be switched on and off independently of the fan by pressing the hob lighting control I.
Cleaning and care A range of Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products is available to order from Miele (see back page for details) or the via the internet at www.miele-shop.com. ,Before any cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply. ,Halogen lamps get very hot during use and remain hot for some time after being switched off. The hot lamps are also susceptible to damage from damp cleaning.
Cleaning and care 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. Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the controls. Grease filters The re-usable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen vapours, preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
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. Do not use: – cleaning agents containing descaling agents, ^ When removing the filters for cleaning, also clean off any residues of oil or fat from the now accessible housing to prevent the risk of these catching fire.
Cleaning and care Fitting and replacing the charcoal filter If the cooker hood is connected for recirculation, a charcoal filter must be inserted in addition to the grease filters. This is designed to absorb cooking odours. It is fitted in the canopy above the grease filters. New charcoal filters can be purchased from your Miele dealer, from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet at www.miele.shop.com. See back cover for contact details, and "Technical data" for the model number of the filter.
Cleaning and care Changing a halogen lamp ^ Before any cleaning or maintenance work, disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply. ^ First remove the grease filters from the cooker hood. ,Exercise caution when changing halogen lamps. They get very hot during use and remain hot for some time after being switched off. Let them cool down before you change them. ^ Now turn the thumb screw anti-clockwise. This releases the halogen lamp partially from its housing.
