Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can causeconsiderable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance andrepairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.

A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check it for visible signsof damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen continuity is complete between it and an effective earthingsystem. It is most important that this basic safety requirement ispresent and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, thehousehold wiring system should be inspected by a qualifiedelectrician.

Reliable and safe operation of this rangehood can only be assuredif it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate ofthe rangehood must match the mains electricity supply in order toavoid the risk of damage to the rangehood.Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mainselectricity. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by amulti-socket unit or an extension lead. Extension leads are a firehazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.


6

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it hasbeen built in.

This rangehood must not be installed and operated in mobileinstallations (e.g. on a ship).

Tampering with electrical connections or components andmechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can causeoperational faults. Only open the housing as described in the instructions given in theinstallation sheet and in the “Cleaning and care” section of thisbooklet. Under no circumstances should any other parts of thehousing be opened.

The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance isnot repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spareparts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of theappliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only bereplaced by a Miele authorised service technician or suitablyqualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard.

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliancemust be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is onlycompletely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or

– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn fromthe socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mainsplug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricitysupply.


7

Using at the same time as another heating appliance that depends on the airfrom the room

Danger of toxic fumes!Great care should be taken when using the rangehood in the sameroom or the same area of the house as another heating appliancethat depends on the air from the room.Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and ductexhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. Theyinclude gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters,continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops and ovens.

The rangehood draws in air from the kitchen and fromneighbouring rooms. This applies to the following modes ofoperation:- extraction mode, - extraction mode with an external motor, - recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside theroom.If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heatingappliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion.Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extractionducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.Risk of death!


8

In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off bya heating appliance from being drawn back into the room, whenthe rangehood and the heater are both operated simultaneously,an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 Pa) is the maximumpermissible.

Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannotbe blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. Thediameter of the inlet openings must enable sufficient ventilation. Aventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to ensure safeventilation.

The overall ventilation condition of the dwelling must be taken intoaccount. If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder, or forgas, a qualified gas fitter should be sought.

If the rangehood is being operated in recirculation mode, wherebythe air is redirected into the room in which it is installed, the aboverestrictions do not apply.


9

Correct use

Danger of entrapment! Do not reach into the travel area of thedeflector plate as it moves up or down.

Never use an open flame beneath the rangehood. To avoid thedanger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame.When switched on, the rangehood could draw flames into the filter.Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.

Always switch the rangehood on when a cooking zone is in use,otherwise condensation may collect in the rangehood, which couldcause corrosion.

Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to therangehood.When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc., donot leave the pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an open grillunattended when grilling.

Do not use the rangehood without the filters in place. This wayyou will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the applianceand hindering its smooth operation.

There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out as described inthese operating instructions.

The rangehood can get very hot during cooking due to heat risingfrom the cooktop.Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the rangehoodhas cooled down.


10

Correct installation

Refer to the cooktop manufacturer's instructions as to whether arangehood may be operated above the cooktop.

Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solidfuel stoves.

The distances given in “Installation” must be observed whenfitting the rangehood.

All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammablematerial. These can be obtained from builders' merchants.

The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent fluewhich is in current use for exhausting fumes from appliances burninggas or other fuels. Neither should it be connected to ducting whichventilates rooms with fireplaces.

If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation ductno longer used for other purposes, seek professional advice.


11

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a shortcircuit.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches orother vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and itssurroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage whichmay be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be coveredby the machine warranty.

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts oraccessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will beinvalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Caring for the environment

12

Disposal of the packingmaterialThe transport and protective packaginghas been selected from materials whichare environmentally friendly fordisposal, and can normally be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces theuse of raw materials in themanufacturing process and alsoreduces the amount of waste in landfillsites. Ensure that any plasticwrappings, bags etc. are disposed ofsafely and kept out of the reach ofbabies and young children. Danger ofsuffocation.

Disposing of your oldapplianceElectrical and electronic appliancesoften contain valuable materials. Theyalso contain specific materials,compounds and components, whichwere essential for their correct functionand safety.

Energy saving tips

17

This rangehood operates very efficientlyand economically. The following willhelp you to save even more energywhen using it:

– Ensure that there is sufficientventilation in the kitchen whencooking. In extraction mode, if thereis insufficient air flow the rangehoodcannot operate efficiently and thiscauses increased operating noiselevels.

– Always cook with the lowest possiblesetting. This produces fewer cookingvapours, so you can use a lowerrangehood power level and thereforebenefit from reduced energyconsumption.

– Check the power level selected onthe rangehood. A lower power level isgenerally sufficient for the majority ofcooking. Only use the Booster settingwhen necessary.

– When a large volume of cookingvapours are being produced, switchto a high power level in good time.This is more efficient than operatingthe rangehood for longer to try tocapture cooking vapours which havealready been distributed throughoutthe kitchen.

– Make sure that you switch therangehood off after use.

– Clean or change the filters at regularintervals. Heavily soiled filters reduceperformance, increase the risk of fireand are unhygienic.

Cleaning and care

18

Housing

General

The surfaces and controls aresusceptible to scratches andabrasion.Please observe the followingcleaning instructions.

All external surfaces and controls canbe cleaned using warm water with asmall amount of washing-up liquidapplied with a well wrung-out softsponge or cloth.

Do not use too much water whencleaning the controls.Water could penetrate into theelectronics and cause damage.

After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dryusing a soft cloth.

Do not use:

– cleaning agents containing soda,acids, chlorides or solvents,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.powder cleaners or cream cleanersand abrasive sponges, as well as potscourers or sponges which havebeen used previously with abrasivecleaning agents. These will damagethe surface material.

Important for appliances withstainless steel surfaces

Stainless steel surfaces can becleaned with a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designedspecifically for use on stainless steel,e.g. Original Miele ceramic andstainless steel cooktop cleaner.

To help prevent re-soiling, aproprietary conditioning agent forstainless steel (Original Miele Careproduct for stainless steel) can alsobe used.Apply sparingly with a soft clothfollowing the instructions on thepackaging.

Important for appliances with glasssurfaces

Glass surfaces can be cleaned usinga proprietary non-abrasive cleaningagent designed specifically for use onglass.

Cleaning and care

19

Grease filters and edgeextraction panelThe edge extraction panel and the re-usable metal grease filters in theappliance remove solid particles(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchenvapours, preventing soiling of therangehood.

The grease filters and the panel must becleaned at regular intervals.

Heavily soiled grease filters hinder airextraction and will lead to increasedlevels of soiling in the rangehood andin the kitchen.

Fire hazard!Oversaturated grease filters are a firehazard.Clean the grease filters at regularintervals.

Grease filter cleaning intervals

Grease which has collected in therangehood hardens over time andmakes cleaning more difficult. It istherefore recommended that the edgeextraction panel and the grease filtersshould be cleaned regularly (at leastevery 3–4 weeks) to avoid a build-up ofgrease.

After 30 operating hours, the greasefilter symbol will light up when thedeflector plate is out to remind you toclean the edge extraction panel and thegrease filters.

Removing the panel and greasefilters

The panel is held in place by magnetsat the top. Pull the panel forwards bythe upper edge, unhook it at thebottom and remove it.

Open the grease filter retainer catchand remove them.

If charcoal filters are fitted to the backof the grease filters, they must beremoved before cleaning (see“Charcoal filters”).

Connection for air extraction

31

Before installation, it is importantto read the information given on thefollowing pages as well as the“Appliance dimensions” and the“Warning and Safety instructions” atthe beginning of this booklet. This isparticularly crucial when using therangehood at the same time as aheating appliance that relies on oxygenfrom the same room, which couldresult in the build-up of toxic fumes.The rangehood should be installedaccording to local and national buildingregulations. Seek approval from thebuilding inspector where necessary.

Only use smooth pipes or flexiblehoses made from non-flammablematerials for the extraction ducting.

To achieve the greatest possible airextraction with the lowest noise level,please note the following:

– The diameter of the exhaust ductingshould not be less than 150 mm.

– If flat ducting is being used, the cross-sectional area must not be smallerthan the cross-sectional area of theexhaust connection.

– The exhaust ducting should be asshort and straight as possible.

– Only use wide radius bends.

– The exhaust ducting must not bekinked or compressed.

– Ensure that all connections are strongand airtight.

Remember that any constriction ofthe airflow will reduce extractionperformance and increase operatingnoise.

If the exhaust is ducted through anoutside wall, a telescopic wall vent ora roof vent (available as an optionalaccessory) is recommended.

If the exhaust air is to be ducted intoa vent flue, the ducting must bedirected in the flow direction of theflue.

When ducting is horizontal, it must belaid to slope away at at least 1 cm permetre. This is to ensure thatcondensate cannot drain back intothe rangehood.

If the exhaust ducting is to runthrough rooms, ceiling space etc.where there may be great variationsin temperature between the differentareas, the problem of condensationwill need to be addressed. Theexhaust ducting will need to besuitably insulated.

Electrical connection

32

All electrical work must beundertaken by a suitably qualifiedand competent person in strictaccordance with current national andlocal safety and building coderegulations. Installation, repairs andother work by unqualified personscould be dangerous, for which themanufacturer cannot be held liable.Ensure power is not supplied to theappliance until after installation orrepair work has been carried out.

The rangehood must be connected to asuitably earthed socket (AC 230 V,50 Hz).

For extra safety it is advisable to installa residual current device (RCD) with atrip current of 30 mA.

Connection of this appliance must bemade via a suitable isolator switchwhich provides disconnection on allpoles and which complies with nationaland local safety regulations. Theisolator switch should be easilyaccessible after the appliance has beenbuilt in.

If the mains socket is not accessibleafter installation, an additional means ofdisconnection must be provided for allpoles. There must be an all-polecontact gap of 3 mm in the switch(including switch, fuses and relays).
