Description of functions
16
The following functions are available on
your ventilation hood, depending on the
model:
Extraction mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
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
The recirculation mode requires a
recirculation kit and OdorFree Charcoal
Filter (available as optional accessories,
see “Technical Data” for more
information)
The air is drawn in and first cleaned by
the grease filters and then by an
OdorFree Charcoal Filter. The cleaned
air is then recirculated back into the
kitchen.

Operation (Automatic mode)
25
When Con@ctivity is active, the
ventilation hood always operates in
Automatic mode (see “Setting up
Con@ctivity”).
If you wish to manually operate the
ventilation hood, see “Cooking without
Con@ctivity”.
Cooking with Con@ctivity
(Automatic mode)
Turn on a burner to the desired power
setting.
The overhead lighting will come on.
After a few seconds, the blower will
come on, briefly operating at power
level 2 before immediately switching to
level 1.
The ventilation hood selects the power
setting 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 blower level.
If you select a lower power setting on
the cooktop or turn off a burner, the
hood will accordingly switch to a
lower blower level.
Examples for power levels 1 to B
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)
26
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. 10seconds to
4minutes, a cooking process is
recognized.
The hood turns on automatically and,
after the cooktop power level has been
reduced, switches back to blower level
3, where it remains for approx.
5minutes.
After this, the blower level is once again
determined by the Con@ctivity function.
You can also manually select a
different blower level before then.
Switching off
Turn off all burners.
Over the next few minutes, the
ventilation hood blower 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 Booster setting, the blower
switches immediately to level3.
– From level 3, it will switch to level 2
after approx. 1minute.
– From level 2, it will switch to level 1
after 2minutes.
– After 2minutes at level 1, the blower
automatically turns off.
– After another 30seconds, the
overhead lighting turns off.
The cooking process is then finished.
Operation (Automatic mode)
27
Temporarily exiting Automatic
mode
To temporarily exit Automatic mode
when cooking:
Manually select a different blower
level, or
Manually turn the hood off, or
Activate the delayed shutdown
function on the ventilation hood.
The blower will switch itself off after
the selected delayed shutdown time,
and the lighting will remain on.
The ventilation hood functions can now
be operated manually (see “Cooking
without Con@ctivity”).
Resuming Automatic mode
The ventilation hood resumes
Automatic mode:
If the ventilation hood has not been
used for a period of approx.
5minutes after the manual selection
of a blower level, or
If the manually selected blower level
once again matches the automatic
setting, or
The ventilation hood blower and the
cooktop have been switched off for at
least 30seconds.
Automatic mode will resume next
time the cooktop is switched on.
You can also operate the ventilation
hood manually for a complete cooking
process.
To do so, switch the ventilation hood
blower on before the cooktop.
If the ventilation hood and the
cooktop have been switched off for at
least 30seconds after cooking,
Automatic mode will resume next
time the cooktop is switched on.
Operation (Manual mode)
28
Cooking without Con@ctivity
(Manual mode)
The ventilation hood can be operated
manually if:
– The Con@ctivity function is not
activated.
– You have temporarily deactivated the
Con@ctivity function (see
“Temporarily exiting Automatic

For strong vapors and odors that are
temporarily produced when cooking,
e.g., during searing, select the B
booster level.
Select the power level required by
tapping a button from 1 to B.
Reducing power down from the
Booster setting
If power management is activated
(default setting), the blower
automatically switches back to level 3
after 5minutes.
Selecting the delayed
shutdown time
It is advisable to run the blower for a
few minutes after cooking has finished.
This helps to neutralize any lingering
vapors and odors in the air.
It also reduces the risk of residues
accumulating in the ventilation hood
and any resultant odors.
The delayed shutdown function enables
the blower to continue running for a
pre-determined time before switching
itself off automatically.
After you have finished cooking,
touch the delayed shutdown
control.
– Once: blower switches off after
5minutes (5 lights up).

Energy-saving tips
33
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.
– 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 ventilation hood. A low power
level is usually sufficient. Only use
the Booster setting 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.
If cooking vapors and odors still
need to be removed from the
kitchen air after cooking, use the
delayed shutdown function. The
blower will switch off automatically
after the selected delayed
shutdown time.
Cleaning and care
34
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
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.
After cleaning, dry the surfaces with a
soft cloth.
Avoid the following:
– Cleaners containing soda, acid or
chloride, or cleaners containing
solvents
– Abrasive cleaners such as scouring
powder, scouring liquid, abrasive
sponges such as pot scourers, or
used sponges that still contain
residues from abrasive cleaners
Special instructions for stainless
steel surfaces
Stainless steel surfaces can also be
cleaned using a non-abrasive
stainless steel cleaner.
To prevent the surfaces from quickly
becoming dirty again, we recommend
treating them with a stainless steel
care conditioner.
Apply sparingly over the entire area
using a soft cloth.
Special instructions for RAL color
finish housings
Observe the general cleaning
instructions contained in this chapter.
Minor scratches on the surface are

Cleaning and care
35
Grease filters
Risk of fire!
Oversaturated grease filters are a fire
hazard.
Clean the grease filters at regular
intervals.
The reusable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove the solid particles
contained in kitchen vapors (grease,
dust, etc.), thereby preventing the
ventilation hood from becoming dirty.
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 symbol
.
You can adjust the interval for the
filter saturation indicator to match
your cooking habits (see
“Operation”).
Removing the grease filters
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 remove a grease filter, release the
locking clip. Then, open the filter to a
45° angle, unhook it, and remove it
from the hood.
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and dish soap. Do not use undiluted
dish soap.
Cleaning and care
36
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 filters in a
dishwasher
Place the grease filters upright or
slightly inclined in the lower basket.
Ensure the spray arm is not
obstructed.
Use a commonly available household
dishwashing detergent.
In a Miele dishwasher use the
“Normal” program.
Depending on the detergent used,
cleaning the filters in a dishwasher
may cause the inside filter surfaces to
become discolored. However, this will
not affect the functioning of the grease
filters in any way.
After cleaning
After cleaning, leave the filters on an
absorbent surface to dry.
When removing the filters for
cleaning, also clean off any
accessible oil or fat buildup from the
housing. Doing so will prevent a fire
hazard.
Reinstall the grease filters. When
inserting the filters, make sure that
the locking clip is facing down.
If the filters have been installed
incorrectly, you can insert a small
screwdriver into the slit to disengage
the locking clip.
Cleaning and care

Installation recommendations
– A distance of at least 26" (660mm) is
recommended above electric
cooktops to provide more workspace
and easier cooking under the hood.
– 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 optimum vapor extraction,
the ventilation system must be
centered over the cooktop, not to the
side or behind.
– 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.
Structural support
The hood must be attached to rigid
structural framing that is supported
in its entirety by the ceiling joists, or
to the ceiling joists directly. Do not
attach the plate directly to the ceiling
with anchors, toggle bolts, etc.
Removing the protective film
The housing components are covered
by a protective film to prevent them
from damage during transport.
Please remove this film before
installing the housing components. It
can be peeled off easily without any
additional tools.

Air venting
54
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.
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 ¹/₈
inch 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
55
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).
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.

MieleCare is the only Extended Service
Contract in the industry that guarantees
repairs by a Miele Authorized Service
Provider using genuine Miele parts.
Only genuine Miele parts installed by
factory trained professionals can
guarantee the safety, reliability, and
longevity of your Miele appliance.
Please note that unless expressly
approved in writing by Miele’s Service
department, Extended Service

Miele products will not be recognized
by Miele. Our goal is to prevent
unauthorized (and untrained) service
personnel from working on your Miele
products, possibly doing further
damage to them, you and/or your
home.
