Description of functions
14
The following functions are available on
your ventilation hood, depending on the
model:
Vented mode
Air entering through the intake is
cleaned by the grease filters and
conducted out of the building.
Non-return flap
A non-return flap in the ducting
prevents the exchange of inside and
outside air from occurring when the
ventilation hood is not in use.
The flap is closed when the ventilation
hood is turned off.
When the ventilation hood is turned on,
the non-return flap opens so that the
exhaust air can be transported outside
without any obstruction.
A non-return flap has been provided
with the hood in case your ducting does
not have one. It is inserted into the
outlet duct collar of the fan.
Recirculation mode
(Recirculation mode ventilation hoods
require charcoal filters. These are
available as optional accessories: see
"Technical Data")
Air entering through the intake is first
cleaned by the grease filters and then
by a charcoal filter. The cleaned air is
then recirculated back into the kitchen.
Description of functions
15
Con@ctivity 2.0 function
Automatic control
This hood features a communication
function which enables the automatic
control of the hood based on the
operational status of a Miele induction
cooktop.
To enable the communication function,
the cooktop must be equipped with the
corresponding Con@ctivity 2.0 stick .
Please refer to the installation
instructions for the Con@ctivity 2.0
stick to determine whether connection
to your cooktop is possible.
There must be radio contact between
the cooktop and the hood for you to be
able to use the Con@ctivity 2.0 function
(see "Activating Con@ctivity 2.0").
The cooktop transmits information
about its operational status to the hood
using a radio signal.
– When a burner is turned on, the
cooktop lighting on the hood turns on
automatically. After a brief delay, the
ventilation hood fan also comes on.
– During cooking, the hood
automatically selects the fan level
based on the number of burners in
operation and their power levels.
– Once you have turned off the
cooktop, the fan and the lighting will
turn off automatically after a
predetermined delay.
Detailed information about this function
can be found under "Operation."

Operation (Automatic mode)
18
When Con@ctivity 2.0 is active, the
hood always operates in Automatic
mode (see "Activating Con@ctivity
2.0").
See "Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0"
for information on manually operating
the hood.
Cooking with Con@ctivity 2.0
(Automatic mode)
Turn on a burner to the desired power
setting.
Overhead cooktop lighting.
After a few seconds, the fan will come
on, briefly operating at power level 2
before immediately switching to level 1.
The hood selects the fan level
automatically during cooking.
This level is determined by the total
output of the cooktop, i.e. the number
of burners in operation and the power
settings selected.
If you select a higher power setting
on the cooktop or switch on multiple
burners, the hood will switch to a
higher fan level.
If you select a lower power setting on
the cooktop or turn off a burner, the
hood will accordingly switch to a
lower fan level.
Examples for fan levels 1 to 4
Reaction time
Changing the power setting on the
cooktop does not lead to an immediate
increase or decrease in cooking vapors.
For this reason, the hood reacts with a
slight delay.
Delays can also result from the fact that
the cooktop transmits the information to
the hood in intervals.
The reaction time can vary from a few
seconds to a couple of minutes.
Operation (Automatic mode)
19
Cooking process
If, for example, you switch on a
burner at the highest power setting to
heat cookware in preparation for
searing and then reduce the power
level after approx. 60 to 90 seconds,
a cooking process is recognized.
The hood turns on automatically and,
after the cooktop power level has been
reduced, switches back to fan level 3,
where it remains for approx. 5 minutes.
After this, the fan level is once again
determined by the Con@ctivity function.
You can also manually select a
different fan level before then.
Deactivation
Turn off all burners.
Over the next few minutes, the
ventilation hood fan setting will
decrease one level at a time until the
hood eventually turns off.
This helps to neutralize any lingering
vapors and odors in the air.
– From the intensive setting, the fan
immediately switches to level 3.
– If the fan is operating at level 3, it will
switch to level 2 after approx. 1
minute.
– From level 2, the fan switches to level
1 after 2 minutes.
– After 2 minutes at level 1, the fan
automatically turns off.
– After another 30 seconds, the
overhead cooktop lighting turns off.
The cooking process is now finished.
Operation (Automatic mode)
20
Temporarily exiting Automatic
mode
To temporarily exit the Automatic mode
when cooking:
Manually select a different fan level,
or
Manually turn the hood off, or
Activate the Delayed shut down
function on the ventilation hood.

be operated manually (see "Cooking
without Con@ctivity 2.0").
Resuming Automatic mode
The ventilation hood resumes
Automatic mode:
If the ventilation hood has not been
used for a period of approx. 5
minutes after the manual selection of
a fan level, or
If the manually selected fan level
once again matches the automatic
setting, or
If the ventilation hood fan and the
cooktop have been turned off for at
least 30 seconds.
Automatic mode will resume the next
time the cooktop is turned on.
If you wish to manually operate the
ventilation hood for a complete
cooking process, turn on the
ventilation hood fan before turning
on the cooktop.

Energy-saving tips
25
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. This produces fewer cooking
vapors so that you can use a lower
hood power level and therefore
benefit from reduced energy
consumption.
– Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.
– Use the Con@ctivity function. The
ventilation hood will switch on and off
automatically at the optimum power
level for the cooking you are doing,
which ensures low energy
consumption.
– If you are operating the ventilation
hood manually, please note the
following:
– 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 the
ventilation hood off after use.
If cooking vapors and odors still
need to be removed from the
kitchen air after cooking, use the
coast-down function. The fan will
switch off automatically after the
selected coast-down time.

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.
Clean all surfaces and control buttons
using warm water and liquid dish
soap. Apply with a sponge cloth.
Make sure that no water gets into the
interior of the hood.
Only use a damp cloth to clean the
hood, especially in the control panel
area.
After cleaning, dry the surfaces with a
soft cloth.
Avoid the following:
– Cleaners containing soda, acid or
chloride, or cleaners containing
solvents
– Abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.
Special instructions for RAL color
finish housing
Observe the general cleaning
instructions contained in this chapter.
It is very difficult to clean this type of
surface without causing minor marks
to the surface material. This can
become particularly noticeable if there
is halogen lighting in the kitchen.
Special instructions for glass
surfaces
Glass surfaces can be cleaned using
a cleaning agent specifically
designed for glass.
Cleaning and care
27
Grease filters and edge
extraction panel
The edge extraction panel and the re-
usable metal grease filter in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapors, preventing soiling of the
ventilation 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. It is
therefore recommended that the edge
extraction panel and the grease filter be
cleaned regularly (at least every 3–4
weeks) to avoid a build-up of grease.
Clean the edge extraction panels and
grease filter immediately if the grease
filter symbol on the filter saturation
indicator lights up.
You can adjust the interval for the
filter saturation indicator to match
your cooking habits (see
"Operation").
Removing the panel and grease
filters
The panel and grease filter can fall
out when you are handling them.
This can result in damage.
Make sure you hold the panel and
the grease filters securely at all times
when handling them.
Pull the panel out of the holder at the
bottom, press it back a little at the
top, then unhook it and carefully lift it
out.
Release the locking clip on the
grease filter, allow it to swing out
towards you slightly, then unhook it
and take it out.
Cleaning and care
28
Removing the drip tray
Condensate collects in the drip tray
underneath the grease filter. This tray
can be removed for cleaning.
After taking the grease filter out, hold
the drip tray in the middle and pull it
slightly upwards and then carefully
pull it out towards you.
Pour any condensate away.
Cleaning the panel by hand
Follow the instructions under
"Housing."
Cleaning the grease filter and the
drip tray by hand
Clean the grease filter and the drip
tray with a soft nylon brush in a mild
solution of hot water and a little liquid
hand soap. Do not use undiluted
liquid hand soap.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage
to the filter surfaces if used regularly.
Do not use any of the following:
– Lime removers
– Abrasive powders or abrasive liquids
– Aggressive all-purpose cleaners and
degreaser sprays
– Oven sprays
Cleaning the grease filter and the
drip tray in a dishwasher
Place the grease filter and the drip
tray upright or slightly inclined in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray arm
is not obstructed.
Use a commonly available household
dishwashing detergent.
Select a program with a wash
temperature between 120°F (50°C)
and 150°F (65°C).
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the grease filter in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discoloration to the surface. However,
this will not affect the functioning of
the filter in any way.
Cleaning and care
29
After cleaning
After cleaning, leave the filters on an
absorbent surface to dry.
When removing the panel and grease
filter for cleaning, also clean off any
residues of oil or fat from the now
accessible parts of the casing to
prevent the risk of these catching fire.
Replace the drip tray.
Replace the grease filter, making sure
that the locking clip is facing
outward.
If the filter has been installed
incorrectly, you can insert a small
screwdriver into the slit to disengage
the locking clip.
Hook the panel in at the top and then
push it into position at the bottom.
Resetting the filter saturation
indicator for the grease filter
Once cleaning is complete, the filter
saturation indicator must be reset.
While the fan is turned on, press the
grease filter button for approx. 3
seconds, until only the 1 is flashing.
The grease filter symbol goes out.
When cleaning the grease filters before
the full operating time has elapsed:
Press the grease filter button for
approx. 6 seconds, until only the 1 is
flashing.

Installation recommendations
– When selecting an installation height,
always take the user height into
consideration. Users should have
ample space to work comfortably on
the cooktop and reach the ventilation
hood controls with ease.
– Please note that the greater the
distance from the cooktop, the less
effective the hood is at drawing in the
cooking vapors.
– To achieve optimal vapor extraction,
make sure that the hood covers the
cooktop. The hood should be
positioned centrally over the cooktop,
not to the side or rear.
– 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.
Drilling diagram for wall
mounting
When drilling, please follow the
directions contained on the
accompanying installation sheet.
When installing a custom back wall
with pre-drilled holes, please refer to
the drilling distances in the drawing
above (screws ³/₁₆" (5mm)).
Plywood backing
37
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.
If plywood backing is not needed,
proceed to the included "Installation
diagram".
Determine and mark the location for
the canopy as outlined in
"Appliance dimensions".
Make a cutting line 3" (76 mm) above
and 3" (76 mm) below the outline of
the canopy.
Find the studs to the left and right
of the mounting location by tapping
the wall or using a stud finder.
Mark a vertical cutting line along the
center of each stud.
CAUTION: When cutting or drilling
into the wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
Remove the drywall between the
cutting lines and replace it with
plywood of a matching thickness
(min. ½" (13 mm) thick). Tape the
joints and refinish the wall.
Proceed to the enclosed "Installation
diagram" to complete the installation.
Air venting
38
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
duct hoses made from non-
combustible materials for exhaust
ductwork.
To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise levels,
please note the following:
– The diameter of the exhaust duct
should not be less than 6" (150mm).
– If flat exhaust ducts are used, the
cross section should not be smaller
than that of the exhaust connector.
– The exhaust duct should be as short
and straight as possible.
– If elbows are needed, make sure they
have a large radius.
– The exhaust duct itself must not be
kinked or compressed.
– Make sure that all connections are
secure and airtight.
Remember that any constriction of
the airflow will reduce extraction
performance and increase operating
noise.
If the exhaust duct is to be routed
through an outside wall, we
recommend installing a telescopic
wall vent or a rooftop vent (available
as an optional accessory).
If the exhaust air is conveyed into an
exhaust air chimney, the inlet
connector must face the flow
direction.
When installing the exhaust duct
horizontally, a minimum slope of
1/8inch per foot must be maintained
to prevent condensate from flowing
into the ventilation hood.
If the exhaust duct is to be routed
through cool rooms, ceilings, etc., the
temperatures in these different areas
may differ greatly. Therefore water
condensation must be considered
and the exhaust duct will need to be
insulated.
Air venting
39
Condensate trap
In addition to insulating the exhaust
duct, we recommend installing a
condensate trap to collect and
evaporate any condensate which might
accumulate.
Condensate traps are available for
exhaust ducts with a diameter of
5" (125 mm) or 6" (150 mm).
A condensate trap can only be fitted in
extraction ducting which is directed
upwards out of the ventilation hood.
When installing a condensate trap,
make sure that it is positioned
vertically and, if possible, directly
above the hood outlet duct collar.
The arrow on the housing indicates
the direction of airflow.
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.
