Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material Disposal of your old appliance The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and should be recycled. Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance.
Warning and safety instructions This appliance complies with all relevant local and national safety requirements. 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 Technical safety ~ Before installation, check the cooker hood for visible signs of damage. Under no circumstances should you install or 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 on-site 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 unit 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 fitted (...
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 heater are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible. One of the following technical measures may be necessary to ensure safe operation.
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.

Cleaning and care A range of Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products is available to order from Miele (see back page for details) or 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. 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. Observe the General notes on cleaning earlier in this section. Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the controls.
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 Charcoal filter (...U models only) 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. ,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. ^ To access the halogen lamp, push the lamp cover gently upwards. The cover will open and can be pulled down. ^ Pull the old halogen lamp out of the connection socket.

Exhaust connection C 150 mm (not needed for recirculation mode) The exhaust connection in the ceiling plate is not fixed in the middle which means that the hood can also be installed where the exhaust cut-out in the ceiling is not centrally positioned over the hob. There is a max.
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. 2 screws M4 x 8 mm for securing the tower. 4 spacers to use in the event of an uneven ceiling.
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.
Connection for air extraction – If the exhaust air is to be ducted into the open air, the installation of a telescopic wall vent or roof vent is recommended. Condensate trap (optional accessory) – If the exhaust air is to be ducted into a vent flue, the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue. Important. If the exhaust ducting is to run through rooms, ceiling space etc.
Connection for air extraction Silencer ...with air extraction: (optional accessory) The silencer not only reduces noise from the fan, but also sounds from outside (e.g. traffic noise). For this reason the silencer must be positioned as close as possible to where the ducting leaves the building a. ...air extraction with external motor: To achieve even further reductions in noise levels, a special silencer can be fitted in the ducting system...
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 DSM 400 control module 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 DSM 400 control module Connection to a light switch The control module can be used to switch on the cooker hood lighting and also to dim it via a light switch in the house. Installation dai1692b The control module is fitted in the tower after the cover plate has been unscrewed from the ceiling. The control module is supplied with its own detailed operating and installation instructions.
