6

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.

EXT model rangehoods are connected to their external motorusing a special connection cable and plug connectors. These appliances may only be combined with a Miele externalmotor.


7

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.


8

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!


9

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.


10

Correct use

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.

The rangehood can become damaged when exposed to excessiveheat.

– When using the rangehood over a gas cooktop, ensure that anyburners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the cookingzone off when a pan is removed, even for a short time.

– Select a pan which is suitable for the size of the burner.

– Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of thepan.

– Avoid overheating the pan (e.g. when cooking with a wok).

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.


11

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.

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.

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.

An insufficient safety distance between the stovetop and therangehood can result in damage to the rangehood.The minimum safety distances between the top of the stovetop andthe bottom of the rangehood given in the “Installation” section of thisbooklet must be observed, unless the stovetop manufacturer statesthat a greater safety distance is required.If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the rangehood,and they have different minimum safety distances to the rangehood,select the greater distance.

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

Metal parts can have sharp edges which may cause injury.Wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut.

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.


12

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

Cleaning and care

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

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

13

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. These could be hazardousto human health and to the environmentif disposed of with your domestic wasteor if handled incorrectly.

Operation (automatic mode)

27

When Con@ctivity 2.0 is active, therangehood always operates inautomatic mode (see “Setting upCon@ctivity 2.0”).

If you wish to manually operate therangehood, see “Cooking withoutCon@ctivity”.

Cooking with Con@ctivity(automatic mode) Switch a cooking zone on at the

power setting you want.

The cooktop lighting will come on.

After a few seconds the fan will switchon, first at power setting 2, then it willswitch immediately to power setting 1.

The rangehood selects the powersetting automatically during cooking.

This is determined by the total output ofthe cooktop, i.e. the number of cookingzones in operation and the powersettings selected.

If you select a higher power setting orare using several cooking zones, therangehood will switch to a higherpower setting.

When you reduce the power settingor the number of cooking zonesbeing used, the rangehood powersetting will also be reduced.

Examples for power levels 1 to B

Reaction timeThe rangehood reacts with a slightdelay because altering the powersetting on the cooktop does notimmediately result in a reduction orincrease in cooking vapours.

Because the cooktop transmits theinformation to the rangehood atintervals, this can also cause delays.

The reaction can vary from a fewseconds to a few minutes.


28

Cooking process If for example you switch on a

cooking zone at the highest powerlevel to heat a pan for frying andreduce the power level after approx.10 seconds to 4 minutes *, a cookingprocess is recognised. (*60 secondsto 5 minutes for a HiLight cooktop.)

The rangehood switches itself on andwhen the cooktop power level has beenreduced, the rangehood switches topower setting 3 and remains at thatlevel for approx. 5 minutes.

After that the rangehood power settingis determined automatically by theCon@ctivity function.

You can select another power settingmanually before then.

Switching off Switch off all cooking zones.

The rangehood fan will reduce its powerlevel in stages over the next fewminutes and will then switch itself off.

This helps to neutralise any lingeringvapours and odours in the air.

– From the Booster setting, the fanswitches immediately to level 3.

– From level 3, it will switch to level 2after approx. 1 minute.

– From level 2, it will switch to level 1after 2 minutes.

– After 2 minutes at Level 1, the fanswitches itself off.

– After another 30 seconds, thecooktop lighting switches off.

The cooking process is then finished.


29

Leaving automatic modetemporarilyTo leave automatic mode temporarilyduring cooking:

Manually select a different powersetting, or

Manually switch the rangehood off, or

Activate the run-on function onthe rangehood. The fan will switchitself off after the selected run-ontime, and the lighting will remain on.

The rangehood functions can now beoperated manually (see “Cookingwithout Con@ctivity”).

Returning to automatic mode

The rangehood returns to automaticmode:

if the rangehood has not been usedfor approx. 5 minutes after selecting apower setting manually, or

if the manually selected power settingcorresponds to the automatic oneagain, or

if the rangehood fan and the cooktophave been switched off for at least 30seconds.Automatic mode will resume nexttime the cooktop is switched on.

You can also operate the rangehoodmanually for a complete cookingprocess.

To do so switch the rangehood fan onbefore the cooktop.If the rangehood fan and the cooktophave been switched off for at least 30seconds after cooking, automaticmode will resume next time thecooktop is switched on.

Operation (manual mode)

30

Cooking without Con@ctivity(manual mode)The rangehood can be operatedmanually if:

– the Con@ctivity function is notactivated.

– you have temporarily deactivated theCon@ctivity function (see“Temporarily exiting automaticmode”).

Select the power level you want bypressing the or controls.

Reducing power down from theBooster setting

If Power management is activated(default setting), the fan automaticallyswitches back to level 3 after 5 minutes.

Selecting the run-on timeIt is advisable to run the fan for a fewminutes after cooking has finished. Thishelps to neutralise any lingeringvapours and odours in the air.

It also reduces the risk of residuesaccumulating in the rangehood and anyresultant odours.

The run-on function allows the fan tocontinue to run for a pre-determinedtime before switching itself offautomatically.

After cooking has finished, press therun-on control while the fan is stillrunning:

– Once: the fan will switch itself offafter 5 minutes (5 lights up).

– Twice: the fan will switch itself offafter 15 minutes (15 lights up).

Energy saving tips

35

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.

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

– Use the Con@ctivity function. Therangehood will switch on and offautomatically at the optimum powerlevel for the cooking you are doing,which ensures low energyconsumption.

– If you are operating the rangehoodmanually, please note the following:

– Check the power level selected onthe rangehood. A low power levelis usually sufficient. Only use theBooster setting when necessary.

– When a large volume of cookingvapours are being produced,switch to a high power level ingood time. This is more efficientthan operating the rangehood forlonger to try to capture cookingvapours which have already beendistributed throughout the kitchen.

– Make sure that you switch therangehood off after use. If cooking vapours and odours stillneed to be removed from thekitchen air after cooking, use therun-on function. The fan will switchoff automatically after the selectedrun-on time.

Cleaning and care

36

Before proceeding with anymaintenance or cleaning task, therangehood must be disconnectedfrom the power supply (see “Warningand Safety instructions”).

Before cleaning the rangehood,please note the following:Make sure that you use a stable andsecure ladder, if necessary.Make sure that you stand on theladder in a safe way.Do not lean over the cooktop.Do not stand on the worktop or thecooktop.

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.

Cleaning and care

37

Important for appliances withstainless steel surfaces

(This information does not apply to thecontrols)

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 withlacquered housing

Observe the general notes oncleaning earlier in this section.

Minor scratches on the surface areinevitable when cleaning the housing.Depending on the lighting in thekitchen, this may negatively affect theappliance's appearance.

Important for the controls

Do not leave soiling on the controlsfor any length of time.Otherwise they may sufferdiscolouration or damage.Remove any soiling immediately.

Observe the general notes oncleaning earlier in this section.

Do not use stainless steel cleaningagents on the controls.

Cleaning and care

38

Grease filters and edgeextraction panel

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

The 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.

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.

The operating hours counter will remindyou to clean the edge extraction paneland the grease filters regularly via thegrease filter symbol lighting up.

You can set the operating hourscounter to suit the type of cookingyou do (see “Operation”).

Removing the panel and greasefilters

The panel and grease filter canfall out when you are handling them.This can result in damage.Make sure you hold the panel andthe grease filter securely at all timeswhen handling them.

Hold the panel with one hand andrelease the catch with the other hand.Lower the panel.

Lift the panel slightly upwards, andthen lift it forwards to remove it.

Cleaning and care

39

Open the grease filter retainer catchand remove the grease filter.

Cleaning the panel(s) by hand

Follow the instructions under“Housing”.

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

Clean the filters with a soft nylonbrush in a mild solution of hot waterand a small amount of washing-upliquid. Do not use undiluted washingup liquid.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Unsuitable cleaning agents can causedamage to the surface of the filters ifused regularly.Do not use:

– cleaning agents containing descalingagents,

– powder cleaners or cream cleaners,

– aggressive all-purpose cleaningagents or spray cleaners for grease,

– oven sprays.

Cleaning the grease filters in thedishwasher

Place the grease filters upright orslightly inclined in the lower basket.Ensure the spray arm is notobstructed.

Use a standard householddishwasher detergent.

Select a dishwasher programme witha wash temperature between 50 °Cand 65 °C.

Depending on the detergent used,cleaning the filters in the dishwashermay cause the inside filter surfaces tobecome discoloured. This will notaffect the functioning of the greasefilters in any way.

Cleaning and care

40

After cleaning

After cleaning, leave the filters to dryon an absorbent surface beforerefitting them.

When removing the filters and panelfor cleaning, also clean off anyresidues of oil or fat from the nowaccessible housing to prevent the riskof these catching fire.

Replace the grease filters, makingsure that the locking clips are facingdown towards the cooktop.

If a grease filter is inadvertentlyrefitted upside down, insert a smallscrewdriver blade into the slit todisengage the clip.

Lift the panel into the deflector plateand hook it in at the back.

Tilt the panel upwards at the frontand press it into the locking clip.

b 222 x 89 mm flat ducting can be used as an alternative for ducting to the rearor to the side.

c The rangehood is fastened in the cut-out using clamps. This requires that theinstallation surface is made of a solid material, such as wood. Make sure thatthe material is strong enough to bear the weight of the rangehood and the edgeextraction panel(s). There must be a minimum distance of 25 mm between theareas around the clamps and any ducting, support structures or components,such as struts or cables.

d There are additional fixing points on the installation surface.

Safety distance (S)

The minimum distances between the cooking surface of a cooktop (pansupport(s) for gas models) and the bottom of the rangehood are as follows,unless a greater distance is specified by the manufacturer of your cookingappliance. See also “Warning and Safety instructions”.

Installation recommendations– We recommend a minimum distance

of 700 mm and a maximum distanceof 1300 mm.

– If positioned too high, extraction willbe inefficient.

– To achieve optimum vapourextraction, the rangehood must becentred over the cooktop, not to theside or behind it.

– The cooktop should be no wider thanthe rangehood and, if possible, itshould be narrower, especially forsafety distances greater than750 mm.

– If the rangehood is being installed ina suspended ceiling, the installationsurface all around the rangehoodmust be at least 300 mm larger thanthe rangehood itself.

– The installation area must be easilyaccessible. The rangehood should beeasily accessible and easy todismantle in the event that service isrequired. This should be taken intoconsideration when planning theposition of cupboards, shelves,ceilings or features in the vicinity ofthe rangehood.

Installation

50

Uneven installation surfaces

If the installation surface is uneven andtherefore making flush installationdifficult, the frame can be realigned.

Fit the rangehood as described onthe installation sheet.

Warning! Danger of electric shock!Disconnect the rangehood from themains electricity supply beforeremoving the lamps (see “Warningand Safety instructions”).

Using the suction cup supplied, pullthe lamp out of its holder.

Remove all other lamps in the sameway.

Fit one of the screws supplied intothe eyelet of the fixing tab locatedinside each lamp opening asdepicted in the diagram above.

Tighten the screws with a screwdriveruntil the frame sits flush with theinstallation surface.

Do not overtighten the screws.

Refit the lamps.

Connection for air extraction

51

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 onoxygen from the same room, whichcould result in the build-up of toxicfumes.The rangehood should be installedaccording to local and nationalbuilding regulations. Seek approvalfrom the building inspector wherenecessary.

Only use smooth pipes or flexibleducting made from approved non-flammable materials for exhaustducting.

When using an external motor, makesure that the exhaust ducting issufficiently rigid. The external motorcan cause an underpressure whichcan result in the exhaust ductingdistorting.

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, thecross-sectional area must not besmaller than the cross-sectional areaof the exhaust 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 arestrong and 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.

Where ducting is horizontal, it mustbe laid to slope away at at least 1 cmper metre. This is to ensure thatcondensate cannot drain back intothe rangehood.

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

Connection for air extraction

52

Silencer

To achieve even further reductions innoise levels, a special silencer (optionalaccessory) can be fitted in the ductingsystem.

Air extraction mode

The silencer not only reduces noisefrom the motor outside the house, butalso sounds from outside (e.g. trafficnoise). For this reason, the silencermust be positioned as close as possibleto the ducting exit .

Air extraction with external motor

To minimise noise from the motor in thekitchen, the silencer should bepositioned in front of the external motor if possible, or, if the ducting is long,above the exhaust connection insidethe rangehood . In the case of anexternal motor located inside the house,fitting a silencer behind the externalmotor reduces the noise of the motoroutside the house.

Electrical connection

53

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).

The connection data is given on thedata plate (See “After sales service”).Ensure that this data matches thehousehold mains supply.
