Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a
Miele authorised technician.
A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check it for visible signs
of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of this rangehood can only be assured
if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the rangehood must match the mains electricity supply in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the rangehood.
Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains
electricity. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. Extension leads are a fire
hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
This rangehood must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
Only open the housing as described in the instructions given in the
installation sheet and in the “Cleaning and care” section of this
booklet. Under no circumstances should any other parts of the
housing be opened.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele authorised service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be
replaced by a Miele authorised service technician or suitably
qualified and competent electrician in order to avoid a hazard.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
- the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or

Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air
from the room
Danger of toxic fumes!
Great care should be taken when using the rangehood in the same
room or the same area of the house as another heating appliance
that depends on the air from the room.
Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct
exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. They
include 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 from
neighbouring rooms. This applies to the following modes of
operation:
- extraction mode
- recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the
room.
If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating
appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extraction
ducting back into the room.
This could have potentially fatal consequences. Risk of death!
Warning and Safety instructions
9
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by
a heating appliance from being drawn back into the room, when
the rangehood and the heater are both operated simultaneously,
an underpressure in the room of 0.04mbar (4Pa) is the maximum
permissible.
Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot
be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. The
diameter of the inlet openings must enable sufficient ventilation. A
ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to ensure safe
ventilation.
The overall ventilation condition of the dwelling must be taken into
account. If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder or, for
gas, a qualified gas fitter (registered with an official gas safety
body in accordance with national safety regulations) must be
sought.
If the rangehood is being operated in recirculation mode, whereby
the air is redirected into the room in which it is installed, the above
restrictions do not apply.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
Correct use
Open flames are a fire hazard!
Never use an open flame under the rangehood. To avoid the danger
of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on,
the rangehood could draw flames into the filter. Kitchen grease
deposits could ignite.
The rangehood can become damaged when exposed to excessive
heat.
- When using the rangehood over a gas cooktop, ensure that any
burners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the cooking
zone 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 the
pan.
- 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 could
cause corrosion.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
rangehood.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc., do
not leave the pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an open grill
unattended when grilling.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
Do not use the rangehood without the filters in place. This way
you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance
and hindering its smooth operation.
The rangehood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising
from the cooktop.
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the rangehood
has cooled down.
Correct installation
Refer to the cooktop manufacturer's instructions as to whether a
rangehood may be operated above the cooktop.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solid
fuel stoves.
An insufficient safety distance between the cooktop and the
rangehood can result in damage to the rangehood.
The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop and
the bottom of the rangehood given in the “Installation” section of this
booklet must be observed, unless the cooktop manufacturer states
that 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 when
fitting the rangehood.
There may be a risk of injury due to protruding parts and sharp
edges.
Wear gloves that offer protection against cuts during assembly.
All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable
material and comply with all relevant national and local building
regulations.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in current use for exhausting fumes from appliances burning
gas or other fuels. Neither should it be connected to ducting which
ventilates rooms with fireplaces.
If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation duct
no 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 in
these operating instructions.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered
by the machine warranty.
Accessories
Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be
invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Caring for the environment
13
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Description of the functions
16
Depending on the model of the
rangehood, the following options are
available:
Air extraction mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
Non-return flap
A non-return flap fitted in the exhaust
air system ensures that when the
rangehood is not in operation the duct
is closed and no exchange of room air
and outside air can take place.
The flap is closed when the rangehood
is switched off.
When the rangehood is switched on,
the non-return flap opens for the
cooking vapours to be blown directly
outside.
If the on-site exhaust air system does
not have a non-return flap, one is
supplied with the rangehood. It must be
fitted in the exhaust socket on the
motor unit.
Recirculation mode
(available as an optional extra with a
conversion kit and charcoal filter: see
“Technical Data”)
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filters and then by a charcoal
filter. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen.
Operation
17
Switching the fan on
Switch the fan on as soon as you start
cooking. This is to ensure that vapours
are captured right from the start.
Press the On/Off touch control .
The fan will switch on at setting 2. The
symbol and 2 will light up in the
power level display.
Selecting a power level
For light to heavy cooking vapours and

intensive vapours and a strong aroma,
e.g. when searing meat, select Booster
settingB.
Select the power level you want by
pressing the or controls.
Reducing power down from the
Booster setting
If Power management is activated
(default setting), the fan automatically
switches back to level 3 after 5minutes.
Run-on time
It is advisable to run the fan for a few
minutes after cooking has finished.
This helps to remove any lingering
vapours and odours from the air.
It also reduces the risk of residues

The symbol will light up when the
cooktop lighting is switched on.
Power management
The rangehood is fitted with a Power
management system. The Power
management system is designed to
help save energy. It ensures that the fan
power level is reduced automatically
and that the lighting is switched off.
- If the Booster setting has been
selected, the fan will automatically
switch to setting 3 after 5minutes.
- From fan power levels 3, 2 and 1, the
power will be reduced by one level
after 2hours and then in 30-minute
stages until the fan finally switches
off.
- The cooktop lighting will switch off
automatically after 12hours.
Operation
18
Switching Power management on/off
You can deactivate the Power
management.
Keep in mind that this may increase
energy consumption.
To set this option, both the fan and
the cooktop lighting must be
switched off.
Press the and controls at the
same time for approx. 10 seconds,
until 1 lights up.
Then press in turn:
- the lighting control ,
- then the touch control, and
- the lighting control again.
If Power management is switched on,
the 1 and B indicators light up
constantly.
When it is switched off, the 1 and B
indicators flash.
Press to switch Power
management off.
The 1 and B indicators will flash.
To switch it on, press .
The 1 and B indicators will light up
constantly.

itself off automatically after 12hours if it
has been left on (fan and cooktop
lighting).
To switch it back on press the On/
Off control or the lighting
control.
Energy saving tips
19
This rangehood operates very efficiently
and economically. The following will
help you to save even more energy
when using it:
- Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation in the kitchen when
cooking. In extraction mode, if there
is insufficient air flow the rangehood
cannot operate efficiently and this
causes increased operating noise
levels.
- Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking
vapours, so you can use a lower
rangehood power level and therefore
benefit from reduced energy
consumption.
- Check the power level selected on
the rangehood. A lower power level is
generally sufficient for the majority of
cooking. Only use the Booster setting
when necessary.
- When a large volume of cooking
vapours are being produced, switch
to a high power level in good time.
This is more efficient than operating
the rangehood for longer to try to
capture cooking vapours which have
already been distributed throughout
the kitchen.
- Make sure that you switch the
rangehood off after use.
- Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.
Cleaning and care
20
Before carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning, the
rangehood must be disconnected
from the electricity supply (see
“Warning and Safety instructions”).
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, or pot scourers or sponges
which have been used previously
with abrasive cleaning agents.
Moisture in the rangehood can
cause damage.
Make sure that water does not get
into the rangehood.
Clean all surfaces and control
elements using a small amount of
warm water and dishwashing liquid.
Apply with a soft sponge.
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 elements.
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 for appliances with
lacquered casing
(special order finish)
Minor scratches on the surface are
inevitable when cleaning the casing;
they may be visible depending on the
lighting in the kitchen.
Cleaning and care
21
Important information for the control
elements
If soiling is not removed promptly, it
could cause the control elements to
alter or discolor.
Remove any soiling immediately.
The surface of the control elements
can be damaged if they are cleaned
using stainless steel cleaning agents.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the control elements.
Grease filters
Fire hazard!
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
vapours, preventing soiling of the
rangehood.
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 rangehood and
in the kitchen.
Grease filter 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.
Removing the grease filter
When handling the grease filter,
be careful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter
and the cooktop below.
Make sure you hold the filter securely
at all times when handling it.
To take out the grease filter, release
the locking clip on the filter, lower the
filter approx. 45°, unhook it at the
back and remove it.
Cleaning and care
22
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and a small amount of washing-up
liquid. Do not use undiluted washing
up liquid.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause
damage to the surface of the filters if
used regularly.
Do not use:
- cleaning agents containing descaling
agents,
- powder cleaners or cream cleaners,
- aggressive all-purpose cleaning
agents or spray cleaners for grease,
- oven sprays.
Cleaning the grease filters in the
dishwasher
Place the grease filters upright or
slightly inclined in the lower basket.
Ensure the spray arm is not
obstructed.
Use a standard household
dishwasher detergent.
Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50°C
and 65°C.
Depending on the detergent used,
cleaning the filters in the dishwasher
may cause the inside filter surfaces to
become discoloured. This will not
affect the functioning of the grease
filters in any way.
After cleaning
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before
refitting them.
When removing the filters for
cleaning, also clean off any residues
of oil or fat from the now accessible
housing to prevent the risk of these
catching fire.
Replace the grease filters, making
sure that the locking clips are facing
down towards the cooktop.
If a grease filter is inadvertently
refitted upside down, insert a small
screwdriver blade into the slit to
disengage the clip.
Cleaning and care
23
NoSmell active charcoal filter
With recirculation mode, a charcoal
filter must be fitted in addition to the
grease filters. The charcoal filter is
designed to absorb cooking odours.
The charcoal filter is fitted in the canopy
above the grease filters.
Charcoal filters are available to order via
the Miele online shop (see the end of
this booklet for contact details) or
directly from Miele. The part number of
the charcoal filter required is listed
under "Technical data".
Fitting/replacing the charcoal filter
Remove the grease filters before
fitting or replacing the charcoal filter.
Take the charcoal filter out of its
packaging.
Insert the charcoal filter into the back
of the charcoal filter frame, then push
up into the frame at the front.
Refit the grease filters.
When to change the NoSmell active
charcoal filter
Replace the charcoal filter when it no
longer absorbs kitchen odours
effectively.
It should be replaced at least every 6
months.
Disposing of charcoal filters
Used charcoal filters can be disposed
of with the normal household waste.

Installation recommendations
- When deciding on the safety distance
between the cooktop and rangehood,
please note that a distance of
650mm above electric cooktops may
be preferable to give more working
space under the rangehood.
- Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be
using the rangehood most often.
They should have sufficient space to
work comfortably at the cooktop, and
be able to reach the rangehood
controls with ease.
- If positioned too high, extraction will
be inefficient.
- To achieve optimum vapour
extraction, the rangehood must be
positioned centrally over the cooktop,
not to the side.
- The cooktop should be no wider than
the rangehood and, if possible, it
should be narrower, especially for
safety distances greater than
750mm.
- The installation area must be easily
accessible. The rangehood should be
easily accessible and easy to
dismantle in the event that service is
required. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the
position of cupboards, shelves,
ceilings or features in the vicinity of
the rangehood.
Drilling diagram for wall
mounting
Please follow the directions given in
the installation instructions supplied
for drilling.
For pre-installation of a back wall
where the holes have to be pre-
drilled, please refer to the drilling
distances in the drawing above
(screws 5mm).
*The dimension for the middle wall
bracket is variable. It will depend on the
position of the wall vent and the socket.
It should be set as low as possible.

Connection for air extraction
Before installation, it is important
to read the information given on the
following pages as well as the
“Appliance dimensions” and the
“Warning and Safety instructions” at
the beginning of this booklet. This is
particularly crucial when using the
rangehood at the same time as a
heating appliance that relies on
oxygen from the same room, which
could result in the build-up of toxic
fumes.
The rangehood should be installed
according to local and national
building regulations. Seek approval
from the building inspector where
necessary.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
ducting made from approved non-
flammable materials for exhaust
ducting.
When using an external motor, make
sure that the exhaust ducting is
sufficiently rigid. The external motor
can cause an underpressure which
can result in the exhaust ducting
distorting.
To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise level,
please note the following:
- The diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150mm.
- If flat ducting is being used, the
cross-sectional area must not be
smaller than the cross-sectional area
of the exhaust connection.
- The exhaust ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
- Only use wide radius bends.
- The exhaust ducting must not be
kinked or compressed.
- Ensure that all connections are
strong and airtight.
- If the ducting has flaps, these must
be opened when the rangehood is
switched on.
Remember that any constriction of
the airflow will reduce extraction
performance and increase operating
noise.
If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a telescopic wall vent or
a roof vent (available as an optional
accessory) is recommended.
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a vent 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.
Where ducting is horizontal, it must
be laid to slope away at at least 1cm
per metre. This is to ensure that
condensate cannot drain back into
the rangehood.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
32
If the exhaust ducting is to run
through rooms, ceiling space etc.
there may be great variations in
temperature between the different
areas. The problem of condensation
will need to be addressed. The
exhaust ducting will need to be
suitably insulated.
Miele will not accept warranty claims
for any functional defects or damage
caused by inadequate ducting.
Condensate trap
In addition to insulating the exhaust
ducting, we recommend that a suitable
condensate trap is also installed to
collect and evaporate any condensate
which may occur.
Condensate traps are available for
125mm or 150mm ducting.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and, if possible, directly above the
exhaust socket.
The arrow on the housing indicates
the direction of airflow.
Silencer
To achieve even further reductions in
noise levels, a special silencer (optional
accessory) can be fitted in the ducting
system.
Air extraction mode
The silencer not only reduces noise
from the motor outside the house, but
also sounds from outside (e.g. traffic
noise). For this reason, the silencer
must be positioned as close as possible
to the ducting exit .
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
33
Recirculation mode
The silencer needs to be positioned
between the exhaust connection and
the directional unit . Ensure there is
adequate space in the tower for fitting
it.
Electrical connection
The rangehood must only be connected
to a properly installed AC230V ~ 50Hz
earthed socket.
The electrical installation must be in
compliance with current local and
national safety regulations.
For extra safety, it is advisable to
protect the appliance with a suitable
residual current device (RCD) with a trip
current of 30mA.
Connection via a socket is
recommended as it facilitates servicing
of the appliance. The socket should be
easily accessible after the appliance
has been installed.
If the socket is no longer accessible
after installation, an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for all
poles which complies with national and
local safety regulations. Suitable means
of disconnection include switches with
an all-pole contact gap of at least
3mm.
These include isolator switches, fuses
and relays.
The relevant connection data can be
found on the data plate (see "Service").
Ensure that this data matches the
voltage and frequency of your
household mains supply.
