IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS , WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE: ~ Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings. ~ Always turn the hood on when cooking at high heat. ~ Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. ~ Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Installation ~ Never connect an exhaust hood to ~, an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue, or room ventilating ductwork. Seek professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue. WARNING To reduce the risk of fire only use metal ductwork. ~ Any fittings, sealant, or materials used to install the ductwork must be made of approved non-flammable materials.
Functional description The ventilation hood works by air extraction. The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filter and directed outside. The hood comes equipped with a non-return flap. This flap automatically closes when the hood is turned off so that no exchange of outside air and room air can occur. When the hood is turned on, the air pressure of the exhaust fan automatically opens the flap blowing the inside air and cooking odors outside.

Operation Reprogramming the grease filter timer The grease filter timer is preset to 30 hours. This time can be lengthened or shortened to 20, 30, 40 or 50 hours. – A time of 20 hours should be programmed in kitchens with frequent pan or deep frying. – A time of 20 hours should also be programmed if the kitchen is only used occasionally to prevent grease which has accumulated over a long period of time from hardening on the filter, making cleaning more difficult.
Cleaning and care Stainless steel Before cleaning or servicing the hood, disconnect it from the power supply by either removing the fuse, unplugging it from the outlet or manually "tripping" the circuit breaker. Cleaning the casing ,Never use on the hood: - cleaning agents containing soda, acids, chlorides or thinners, - abrasive cleaning agents e.g. powder or cream cleansers, - steel wool or abrasive sponges, e.g.
Cleaning and care Grease filter Removing the grease filter The reusable metal grease filter removes solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc). The grease filter should be cleaned every 3 - 4 weeks or whenever the grease filter indicator lights. Keep the grease filter clean to prevent a fire hazard. ^ To remove the grease filter pull the locking clip forward. Lower the filter 45° unhook it at the rear and take it out.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the grease filter ^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Do not use the pure detergent, aggressive all purpose cleaners, oven sprays, abrasive cleaning agents or limescale removers. They could destroy the filter. ^ In a dishwasher: place the filter vertically in the lower basket, making sure that the spray arm is not blocked. Use a hot temperature program, e.g. "Heavy Soil" or "Pots and pans".
Cleaning and care Changing the light bulbs Disconnect the exhaust hood from the power supply by either shutting off the main breaker or completely removing the fuse. When in use halogen bulbs become extremely hot, and can burn your hands. Do not attempt to change the bulbs until they have had sufficient time to cool. Do not touch the bulb surface. Fingerprints or body oils deposited on the bulb will decrease its life. Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
After Sales Service Repairs MieleCare In the event of a fault which you cannot easily fix yourself, please contact the Miele Technical Service Department. (USA only) ^ When contacting the Technical 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 filters are removed.
