IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Reliable and safe operation of this hood can only be guaranteed if it has been connected to the electrical supply. To avoid damaging the ventilation hood, make sure that the connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the building's power supply before connecting the appliance. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Do not use a power bar or extension cord to connect the ventilation hood to electricity.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the ventilation hood must be disconnected from the electrical supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply if one of the following applies: – The circuit breakers on the electrical service panel are tripped. – The screw-type fuses on the electrical service panel have been removed. – The power cord (if present) has been unplugged from the socket (pull the plug not the cord).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned. – c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result. – d) Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if: – 1) You have a class ABC extinguisher, and you know how to operate it. – 2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started. – 3) The fire department is being called. – 4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not completed according to the instructions in this manual. Please note that the heat rising from the stovetop during cooking can cause the ventilation hood to become very hot. Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the ventilation hood has cooled down.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Proper installation WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: – a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction. – b) Sufficient air is needed for combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Be sure to observe the information contained in the “Installation” section when mounting the ventilation hood. Metal parts can have sharp edges which may cause injury. Wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut. When installing the exhaust duct, only use pipes or tubes made of non-flammable material. These can be obtained from your Miele dealer or from Miele Technical Service.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Cleaning and maintenance Never use a steam cleaner to clean the ventilation hood. The steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Accessories Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will become void.

Cleaning and care WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: Before cleaning or servicing the hood, disconnect it from the power supply, see “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”. Stainless steel housing General information The surfaces and control buttons are susceptible to scratching and chipping. Observe the following cleaning instructions. Clean all surfaces and control buttons using warm water and liquid dish soap. Apply with a sponge cloth.
Cleaning and care Important for the controls Do not leave dirt and debris on the buttons for any length of time. Otherwise they may become discolored or damaged. Remove any dirt or debris immediately. Observe the general cleaning instructions contained in this chapter. Do not use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the control buttons. Grease filters The reusable metal grease filters in the appliance remove the solid particles contained in kitchen vapors (grease, dust, etc.
Cleaning and care In a Miele dishwasher use the “Normal” program. Depending on the detergent used, cleaning the filters in a dishwasher may cause the inside filter surfaces to become discolored. However, this will not affect the functioning of the grease filters in any way. To remove a grease filter, release the locking clip. Then, open the filter to a 45° angle, unhook it, and remove it from the hood.
Cleaning and care OdorFree Charcoal Filter If the hood is equipped for recirculation, an OdorFree Charcoal Filter must be installed in addition to the grease filters. This filter is designed to absorb odorcausing agents and is mounted in the canopy above the grease filters. Charcoal filters are available to order via the Miele Webstore, Miele Service (see end of this booklet for contact details) or directly from Miele.
Cleaning and care Changing a light bulb Remove the grease filters. The bulbs should be replaced with the following: Bulb type .............................. LED, GU10 Power ............................................... 3W Replacement bulbs are available from Miele. Turn off the blower and the lighting. Only use the specified lamps. Other lamps, for example halogen lamps, may become damaged due to the high generation of heat. Turn the bolt counterclockwise as far as it will go.

Distance between cooktop and ventilation hood (S) Provided a larger distance is not given by the manufacturer of the cooktop, follow the minimum safety distances between a cooktop and the bottom of the hood.
Installation Installation recommendations – A distance of at least 26" (660 mm) is recommended above electric cooktops to provide more workspace and easier cooking under the hood. Drilling diagram for wall mounting When drilling, please follow the directions contained on the accompanying installation sheet. – When selecting an installation height, always take the user height into consideration.
Installation Plywood backing The majority of the weight of the installed ventilation system will be supported by the lower retaining plate. It must be firmly attached to the stud framing behind the drywall. If studs are not available in the required locations, a plywood backing (min. ½" (13 mm) thick) spanning at least two studs must be installed. Failure to adequately support the weight as stated may result in the ventilation system falling off the wall, causing personal injury and property damage.
Air venting WARNING: Danger of toxic fumes. Gas cooking appliances release carbon monoxide that can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, the exhaust gases extracted by the hood should be vented outside of the building only. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or in attics, crawl spaces or garages. To reduce the risk of fire, only use metal ductwork.
Air venting Condensate trap Reducing Collar (optional accessory) In addition to insulating the exhaust duct, we recommend installing a condensate trap to collect and evaporate any condensate which might accumulate. Condensate traps are available for exhaust ducts with a diameter of 5" (125 mm) or 6" (150 mm). When installing a condensate trap, make sure that it is positioned vertically and, if possible, directly above the hood outlet duct collar.
Electrical connection WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: All electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician in strict accordance with national regulations (for USA: ANSI-NFPA 70) and local safety regulations. Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Ensure that power to the appliance is OFF while installation or repair work is performed.
