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 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 only, applying the mixture with a sponge cloth.
Cleaning and care Special instructions for control buttons 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 (fat, dust, etc.
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 dish soap. Do not use undiluted dish soap. Unsuitable cleaning agents Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage to the filter surfaces if used regularly. Do not use any of the following: When removing the filters for cleaning, also clean off any accessible oil or fat buildup from the housing. Doing so will prevent a fire hazard. Reinstall the grease filters.
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. OdorFree Charcoal Filters are available from your Miele dealer or from Miele. See "Technical data" for the type and reference number.
Cleaning and care Changing an overhead light Remove the grease filters. The halogen lights become very hot when in use. They can cause burns even after being shut off for some time. Allow them to cool down for a few minutes before changing them. Disconnect the hood from the electrical supply before replacing the lamps (see "IMPOARTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS"). Turn the bolt counterclockwise as far as it will go. The halogen lamp will then drop down towards you.

Installation Installation recommendations – We also recommend a distance of at least 25 1/2" (650 mm) 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.
Exhaust duct 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.
Exhaust duct 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.
