switch itself off automatically after
12hours if it has been left on (blower
and overhead lighting).
To switch it back on, press the On/
Off control or the lighting
control.
Energy-saving tips
24
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 extraction mode, the hood
cannot operate efficiently, causing
increased operating noise levels.
- Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking
vapors so that you can use a lower
hood power level and therefore
benefit from reduced energy
consumption.
- Check the power level selected on
the hood. A lower power level is
generally sufficient for the majority of
cooking. Only use the booster level
when necessary.
- When a large volume of cooking
vapors are being produced, switch to
a high power level in good time. This
is more efficient than operating the
hood for longer to try to capture
cooking vapors that have already
been distributed throughout the
kitchen.
- Make sure that you switch off the
hood after use.
- Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.
Changing settings
25
Adjusting the grease filter filter
saturation indicator
The filter saturation indicator can be set
to suit the customer’s cooking habits.
The factory default setting is a cleaning
interval of 30hours.
- Select a shorter interval of 20hours if
food is fried regularly.
- A shorter cleaning interval is also
recommended if the customer only
cooks occasionally. This will prevent
grease buildup from hardening and
making cleaning more difficult.
- Select a longer cleaning interval of 40
or 50hours if the customer uses very
little fat when cooking.

ventilation hood must be
disconnected from the power supply,
see “IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS”.
Stainless steel housing
General information
Unsuitable cleaning agents can
damage the surfaces and control
elements.
Do not use any cleaning agents
containing soda, acid, chloride, or
solvent.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning
agents, e.g., powder cleaners or
cream cleaners and abrasive
sponges, as well as pot scourers or
sponges which have been used
previously with abrasive cleaning
agents
Moisture in the ventilation hood
can cause damage.
Make sure that water does not get
into the ventilation hood.
Clean all surfaces and control buttons
using a small amount of warm water
and liquid dish soap. Apply with a
sponge cloth.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
Important information for appliances
with stainless steel surfaces
This information does not apply to the
control buttons.
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
with a non-abrasive cleaning agent
designed specifically for use on
stainless steel.
To prevent the surfaces from quickly
becoming dirty again, we recommend
treating them with a stainless steel care
product (available from Miele).
Important information for the
controls
If soiling is not removed promptly, it
could cause the control elements to
alter or discolor.
Remove soiling immediately.
The surface of the control elements
can become damaged if they are
cleaned using stainless steel
cleaning agents.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the control elements.
Cleaning and care
28
Special instructions for glass
surfaces
Glass surfaces can be cleaned using
a cleaner specifically for use on glass.
You can clean the rear section of the
deflector plate from the inside.
Remove the grease filters to do this.
Filter saturation indicator
The ventilation hood registers the length
of time it has been operated.
Filter saturation indicators show when
the filters need to be cleaned or
changed by lighting up the grease filter
symbol or charcoal filter symbol.
You can set the filter saturation
indicator to suit the type of cooking you

Indicators 1 toB ......................... 100%
Cleaning and care
29
The number of elapsed operating
hours remains stored in memory when
the ventilation hood is turned off or if
there is a power outage.
Grease filters
Risk of fire
Oversaturated grease filters are a fire
hazard.
Clean the grease filters at regular
intervals.
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapors, preventing soiling of the
ventilation hood.
The grease filters must be cleaned at
regular intervals.
Heavily soiled grease filters hinder air
extraction and will lead to increased
levels of soiling in the ventilation hood
and in the kitchen.
Cleaning intervals
Accumulated grease solidifies over a
longer period of time and makes
cleaning more difficult. The grease
filters should therefore be cleaned every
3 to 4 weeks.
The filter saturation indicator reminds
you to regularly clean the grease filters
by illuminating the grease filter

Before installation
Before installation, it is important
to read the information contained in
this chapter and in the “IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” chapter.
Information is subject to change. Please
refer to our website to obtain the most
current product specification, technical
& warranty information.
Installation recommendations
- To achieve optimum vapor extraction,
the hood must be centered over the
cooktop, not to the side.
- The cooktop should be no wider than
the hood. Preferably, it should be
narrower for better extraction.
- The mounting area must be easily
accessible. The ventilation hood
should be easy to reach and
disassemble in case a service call is
necessary. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the
position of cabinetry, shelves,
ceilings or decorative elements in the
vicinity of the ventilation hood.

Air venting
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.
Please read and follow the
“IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS” to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Follow all local building
codes when installing the hood.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
ducting made from approved non-
flammable materials for ducting.
To achieve the most efficient air
throughput with the lowest noise levels,
please note the following:
- The diameter of the vent ducting
must not be smaller than the cross-
section of the vent collar (see
“Appliance dimensions”). This applies
in particular when using flat ducting.
- The ducting should be as short and
straight as possible.
- Only use wide radius bends.
- The ducting must not be kinked or
compressed.
- All connections must be strong and
airtight.
- If the ducting has flaps, these must
be opened whenever the ventilation
hood is switched on.
Any constriction of the air throughput
will reduce extraction performance
and increase operating noise.
Ventilation stack
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into a
flue, the ducting must be directed in the
flow direction of the flue.
If the flue is used by several ventilation
units, the cross-section of the flue must
be large enough.
Non-return flap
Use a non-return flap in the vent
system.
A non-return flap ensures that when the
ventilation hood is not in operation, the
duct is closed to prevent unwanted
exchange of room air and outside air.
If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a Miele wall vent or roof
vent (available as an optional
accessory) is recommended. Both of
these have a built-in non-return flap.
If the on-site vent system does not have
a non-return flap, one is supplied with
the ventilation hood.
The non-return flap is installed in the
exhaust socket of the fan.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
39
Condensate
If the ducting is to run through cool
rooms or ceiling space, for example, the
significant variations in temperature
between the different areas can cause
condensate to form. Insulate the
ducting to reduce temperature
variations.
If the ducting is to be laid horizontally, it
must be laid with a downwards sloping
gradient of at least ³/₈" (1cm) per meter.
This is to ensure that condensate cannot
drain back into the ventilation hood.
In addition to insulating the ducting, it is
advisable to also install a condensate
trap for collecting and evaporating any
potential condensate.
Condensate traps for 5" (125mm) or
6" (150mm) diameter ducting are
available as optional accessories.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and as closely as possible to the
ventilation hood above the exhaust
vent. The arrow on the casing indicates
the direction of airflow.
Miele will not accept warranty claims
for any functional defects or damage
caused by inadequate ducting.
Reducing Collar
(optional accessory)
If you would like to reduce the
environmental impact of your ventilation
system by limiting the CFM output the
Reducing Collar can be installed. It
reduces the air flow to less than
400CFM. Check local building codes
for max. CFM requirements.
Push the Reducing Collar on the
exhaust port of the blower.
Push the exhaust hose over it.
Secure both with a hose clamp.
