Description of functions The following functions are available on your ventilation hood, depending on the model: Vented mode (requires DAG 600 internal blower as optional accessory) The cooking vapors are drawn in by the ventilation system. The air is then passed via the edge extraction panel through the grease filters, cleaned and then directed outside.
Operation Extending/Retracting the deflector plate, switching the blower on/off Touch the On/Off control until all symbols are lit up. The deflector plate comes up. The blower switches on at power level 2, the cooktop lighting switches on at 70 % brightness. Selecting the delayed shut down time It is advisable to run the blower for a few minutes after cooking has finished to remove any lingering vapors and odors in the air.
Energy-saving tips This hood operates in a very efficient and energy-saving manner. The following will help you to save even more energy when using it: – Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the kitchen when cooking. If there is insufficient air flow during vented mode, the hood cannot operate efficiently, causing increased operating noise levels. – Always cook with the lowest possible setting.
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.
Cleaning and care Grease filters and edge extraction panel Removing the panel and grease filters The edge extraction panel and the reusable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen vapors, preventing soiling of the hood. A dirty filter is a fire hazard! Cleaning intervals Grease which has collected in the ventilation hood hardens over time and makes cleaning more difficult.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the panel Follow the instructions under "Stainless steel housing." The panel is not suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher. 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 filters in any way. Cleaning the grease filters by hand After cleaning Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and dish soap.
Cleaning and care OdorFree Charcoal Filter In recirculation mode with conversion kit DUU 2900, two charcoal filters are fitted into the recirculation unit. Refer to the Operating and installation instructions supplied. In recirculation mode with conversion kit DUU 151, two DKF 22-1 charcoal filters are fitted on the back of the grease filters. These absorb the odors which arise during cooking. Charcoal filters are available from your dealer or from Miele Service.
