Guide to the hood a Chimney extension b Recirculation vent For recirculation use with optional accessories c Chimney d Canopy e Overhead lighting m Grease filter button The indicator next to the grease filter button lights when the grease filter and decor cover need to be cleaned. This button is also used: – to reset the grease filter timer after cleaning the grease filter (see "Cleaning and Care"). – to show how long the grease filter have been in use (see "Operation / Filter timers").
Functional description The hood offers two modes of operation: Air extraction Recirculation mode The air is drawn in and cleaned by the decor panel and the grease filter and directed outside. Air is drawn through the the decor panel, grease filter and an active charcoal filter. The filtered air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through a vent at the top of the hood’s chimney. The hood comes equipped with a non-return flap.

Operation Reprogramming the timers 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. Otherwise grease which has accumulated over a long period of time will harden on the filters making cleaning more difficult.
Operation Reprogramming the charcoal filter timer The active charcoal filter can only be used in recirculation mode and can not be used to exhaust fumes. The charcoal filter timer is not not preset. Before using the hood in recirculation mode, the charcoal filter timer must be programmed. The indicator for the charcoal filter and one of the "–/+" indicators will flash.
Cleaning and Care 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 Warning: Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic (oven) cleaners on the hood. They will damage the surface. ^ All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned with warm water and liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge. ^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Cleaning and Care Grease filter Removing the decor cover The decor panel and reusable metal grease filter remove solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc). The grease filter is visible when the decor cover is removed. The grease filter should be cleaned every 3 - 4 weeks or whenever the grease filter indicator lights. Always clean both the decor panel and the grease filter. A dirty filter is a fire hazard. ^ To remove the decor cover, pull on the release knobs.
Cleaning and Care Cleaning the grease filters ^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Do not use the pure detergent, aggessive all purpose cleaners, oven sprays or limescale removers. They could destroy the filters. ^ If the grease filter is cleaned before the timer has reached its maximum, the grease filter button should be pressed for 6 seconds to reset the counter to zero.
Cleaning and Care Active charcoal filters In recirculation mode an active charcoal filter must be used in addition to the grease filter. The charcoal filter is designed to absorb cooking odors. Replacement active charcoal filters can be ordered from the Miele Technical Service Department. U 1-800-999-1360 V 1-800-565-6435 ^ The decor cover must be removed to access the active charcoal filter. See "Cleaning and Care".
Cleaning and Care Replace the active charcoal filter when the charcoal filter indicator lights. Replace the filter at least every 6 months or when it no longer absorbs odors efficiently. The old charcoal filter can be disposed of in the household waste. ^ After replacing the charcoal filters, press and hold the charcoal filter button for about 3 seconds to reset the charcoal filter timer. The indicator light will go out.
Cleaning and Care Changing the light bulbs Before changing the light bulbs, disconnect the hood from the power supply by either removing the fuse, unplugging it, or manually "tripping" the circuit breaker. ^ Remove the decor cover, see "Cleaning and Care / Removing the decor cover". ^ Pull the old bulb out of its socket and replace it with a new one of the same type. Be careful not to drop the bulb on the cooktop. When in use halogen bulbs become extremely hot, and they can burn your hands.

A lever is enclosed for easier removal of the chimney extension. Protective film The casing is covered with a protective film to prevent scratching during transport.
Air extraction ,WARNING Danger of toxic fumes. Gas cooking appliances release carbon monoxide that can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. The exhaust gases extracted by the hood should be vented outside of the building only. Do not terminate the exhaust ducts in attics, garages, crawlspaces, etc. To reduce the risk of fire, only use metal ductwork. Please read and follow the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of personal injury. Follow all local building codes when installing the hood.
Air extraction Condensate trap optional accessory If the exhaust is ducted into an inactive flue, the air must be expelled parallel to the flow direction of the flue. Never connect an exhaust hood to an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue, or room venting ductwork. Seek professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue. Important! If the ductwork runs through rooms, ceilings, garages, etc.
