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.
Modes of operation The cooker hood works with . . . air extraction: . . . an external motor: (...EXT models only) 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 must be fitted. The non-return flap is designed to prevent the exchange of room and outside air taking place.

Installation Dismantling 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 book. This is particularly crucial when using the cooker hood at the same time as a heating appliance that relies on air from the same room, as this could result in the build-up of toxic fumes.
Electrical connection 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. Installation The tower needs to be removed before the control module can be fitted to the fan unit. The control module is supplied with its own detailed operating and installation instructions.
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.
