Functional description The hood offers two modes of operation: Air extraction Recirculation mode The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside. Air is drawn through the grease filters 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.

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". Cleaning the casing 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 a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge.
Cleaning and Care Grease filters Cleaning the grease filter The reusable metal grease filters in the hood remove solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc) and prevent soiling of the ventilation system. ^ 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.
Cleaning and Care When putting the grease filters back make sure that the locking clips are visibly facing the cooking surface Active charcoal filter In recirculation mode an active charcoal filter must be used in addition to the grease filters. It is designed to absorb cooking odors. The active charcoal filter will be replaced in the canopy above the grease filters. Replacement active charcoal filters can be ordered from Miele.
Cleaning and Care Changing the light bulb ^ Remove the grease filters. ,WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: Before changing the light bulbs, disconnect the hood from the power supply, see "Important Safety Instructions". ^ Turn the knurled screw counterclockwise. The halogen lamp will swivel down. When in use halogen bulbs become extremely hot, use caution. Do not attempt to change the bulbs until they have had sufficient time to cool.
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.

Wall/ceiling area respectively for vent hole and outlet installation. For recirculation mode only the outlet installation is required. Connection for air extraction mode 6" (150 mm), with reducing collar 5" (125 mm).
Appliance dimensions Distance between cooktop and hood (S) Do not install this exhaust hood over cooktops burning solid fuel. 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: Miele Cooktops Non-Miele Cooktops Electric Cooktops 24" (610 mm) Electric Barbeques and Fryers 26" (660 mm) Multiburner Gas cooktops < 43,000 BTU (12.6 KW) and no burner > 15,000 BTU (4.
Appliance dimensions Drilling diagram To prepare a backing plate, the spacings for the 5 mm screws need to be drilled as shown. * The dimension between the ceiling and the middle bracket may vary depending on the position of the vent cut-out and the power socket. It should be installed as low as possible. If the ventilation hood will be mounted directly to the wall, follow the additional instructions given in the included "Installation diagram".
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.
Installation Dismantling Before installation read the information in the "Dimensions" and "Important Safety Instruction" chapters. Under certain conditions, there is a danger of poisonous fumes by when the ventilation system and a furnace drawing interior air run at the same time. If the hood needs to be disassembled, follow the instructions on the "Installation diagram" in the reverse order. A lever is enclosed for easier removal of the chimney extension.
Installation Installation materials 28
Installation a 3 protective shields to prevent scratches to the chimney during installation. b 1 vent collar for use with 6" (150 mm) exhaust ducting. 6 Screws 5 x 40 mm (S8 wall anchors included in the packaging are not for use in USA / CDN) c 1 reducing collar for use with 5" (125 mm) exhaust ducting. The screws and wall anchors are suitable for solid brick walls. For other wall constructions, use appropriate materials. Ensure that the wall can support the weight.
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.
Air extraction ,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 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, 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.
