Warning and Safety instructions The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug withdrawn, – the fuse from the fused spur connection unit is withdrawn, – the mains fuse is withdrawn, or – the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).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. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g.
Warning and Safety instructions Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Safety with children The appliance is only intended for use by adults who have read these instructions. 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. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it.
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: . . . air recirculation: (available as an optional extra with a 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 To switch the fan off ^ Press the On/Off control to switch the fan off. ^ Press the On/Off control. The fan will come on at power level lI. If the cooker hood has been connected to a window contact switch via the Miele DSM 400 control module, then the fan cannot be switched on if the window is shut. The indicator lamp will flash.
Operation Automatic switch-off of the Intensive setting You can set the Intensive setting so that it only runs for 10 minutes before reverting automatically to level III. ^ To set this option, both the fan and the hob lighting must be switched off. ^ Press the + control to activate the automatic switch-off. The indicator lamps for fan power levels I and IV will now light up constantly. Press the – control to deactivate the automatic switch-off function. ^ Press the On/Off control to confirm.
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 removed, or – the fuse is withdrawn from the fused spur connection unit, 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 in the dishwasher Fitting and replacing the charcoal filter ^ Place the filters with the short side upright in the lower basket, and wash on a 65° programme using a mild dishwasher detergent, ensuring the spray arm is not obstructed. If the cooker hood is connected for recirculation, a charcoal filter must be inserted in addition to the grease filters. It is designed to absorb cooking odours. It is fitted in the canopy above the grease filters.
Cleaning and care Changing a halogen lamp Before any cleaning or maintenance work, disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply. Ensure that: – it is switched off at the isolator, or – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug removed, or – the fuse is withdrawn from the fused spur connection unit, or – the mains fuse is withdrawn, or – the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable). Exercise caution when changing halogen lamps.
After Sales Service In the event of a fault which you cannot correct yourself, or if the appliance is under guarantee, please contact: – Your Miele Dealer or – The Miele Service Department (see back cover for address). When contacting your Dealer or the Service Department, please quote the model and serial number of your appliance. These are shown on the data plate which is visible when the grease filter is removed. Please note that telephone calls may be monitored and recorded for training purposes.
Appliance dimensions Safety distance between hob and cooker hood (S) When planning the installation height of your cooker hood, 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: – 450 mm above electric hobs and cookers. – 650 mm above gas hobs and cookers – 650 mm above an open grill or deep fat fryer.
Installation Assembly parts 20
Installation a 3 protective sheets for use when fitting the tower. b 2 hose clips for securing the exhaust ducting. 2 x M 6 self-tapping nuts for securing the appliance. c 1 reducing collar for exhaust ducting C 125 mm . d 1 non-return valve for fitting into the exhaust connection on the motor unit (for extraction mode only) e Telescopic wall bracket for securing the cooker hood to the wall.
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 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.
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 extra) 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 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.
