Stainless steel housing
General
The surfaces and control buttons are
susce
p
tible to scratching and
chipping.
Observe the following cleaning
instructions.
Clean all surfaces and control
butt
ons using warm water and liquid
dish soap only, applying the mixture
with a sponge cloth.
Make sure that no water gets into
the int
erior 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 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 sur
faces
(does not apply to control buttons)
Stainless steel surfaces can also be
clea
ned using a non-abrasive
stainless steel cleaner, available from
Miele.
T
o prevent the surfaces from quickly
becomi
ng dirty again, we
recommend treating them with a
stainless steel care conditioner.

app
liance's appearance.
Cleaning and care
19
Special instructions for control
button
s
Do not leave dirt and debris on the
buttons for any le
ngth of time.
Otherwise they may become
discolor
ed or damaged.
Remove any dirt or debris
immediately.
Observe the general cleaning
instructions contained in this chapter.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
to cle
an the control buttons.
Grease filters
The reusable metal grease filters in the
appliance remo
ve the solid particles
contained in kitchen vapors (fat, dust,
etc.), thereby preventing the ventilation
hood from becoming dirty.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard!
Cleaning intervals
Over longer periods of time, fat buildup
on the gre
ase filter hardens and makes
cleaning more difficult. Therefore, we
recommend cleaning the grease filters
once every 3-4 weeks.
Removing the grease filters
When handling a grease filter, be
care
ful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter
and to the coo
ktop.
Make sure you hold the filter
secur
ely at all times when handling
it.
T
o remove a grease filter, release the
lo
cking clip. Then, open the filter to a
45° angle, unhook it, and remove it
from the hood.
Cleaning and care
20
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mil
d solution of hot water
and dish soap. Do not use undiluted
dish 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
degrease
r sprays
– Oven sprays
Cleaning the grease filters in the
dishwasher
Place
the filters as upright or inclined
as possible in
the lower basket.
Ensure that the spray arm is not
obstructed.
Use a common household
dishwasher deter
gent.
Select a program with a wash
t
emperature between 122°F (50°C)
and 149°F (65°C). In a Miele
dishwasher use the "Normal"
program.
Depending on the detergent used,
cleaning the filt
ers in a dishwasher
may cause the inside filter surfaces to
become discolored. However, this will
not affect the functioning of the filters
in any way.
After cleaning
After cleaning, leave the filters on an
absorbent sur
face to dry.
When removing the filters for
cleaning, also clean off any
acce
ssible oil or fat buildup from the
housing. Doing so will prevent a fire
hazard.
Reinstall the grease filters. When
inse
rting the filters, make sure that
the locking clip is facing down.
If the filters have been installed
inc
orrectly, you can insert a small
screwdriver into the slit to disengage
the locking clip.
Cleaning and care
21
OdorFree Charcoal Filter
If the hood is equipped for recirculation,
an OdorFr
ee Charcoal Filter must be
installed in addition to the grease filters.
This filter is designed to absorb odor-
causing agents and is mounted in the

Installation recommendations
– We also recommend a distance of at
least 25 1/2" (650 mm) above electric
coo
kt
ops to provide more workspace
and easier cooking under the hood.
– When selecting an installation height,
always take the use
r 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 sur
e 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.
– The mounting area must be easily
accessible. The ventilation hood
sho
uld
be easy to reach and
disassemble in case a service call is
necessary. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the
position of cupboards, shelves,
ceilings or decorative elements in the
vicinity of the ventilation hood.
Drilling diagram for wall
mounting
When drilling, please follow the
direc
tions contained on the
accompanying installation sheet.
When installing a cust
om back wall
with pre-drilled holes, please refer to
the drilling distances in the drawing
above (screws 3/16" (5 mm)).
* The dimension for the middle wall
brack
et is variable. It will depend on the
position of the wall vent and the socket.
It should be set as low as possible.
Installation
30
Plywood backing
The majority of the weight of the
inst
alled 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".
To install a plywood backing
Determine and mark the location of
the retaining plate for the canopy
as outlined on the "Installation
diagram".
Make a cutting line 3" (76 mm) above
and 3" (76 mm) below the outline of
the r
etaining plate.
Find the studs to the left and right
of the mounting location by tapping
the wall or usi
ng a stud finder.
Mark a vertica
l cutting line along the
center of each stud.
CAUTION: When cutting or drilling
int
o the wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
Remove the drywall between the

Exhaust duct
31
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 e
xhaust 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,
cr
awl spaces or ga
rages.
To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.
Please read and follow the
"IMPORT
ANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk
of personal injury. Follow all local
building codes when installing the
hood.
Only use smooth p
ipes or flexible
duct hoses made from non-
flammable materials for exhaust
ductwork.
To achieve the greatest possible air
e
xtraction with the lowest noise
levels, please note the following:
– The diameter of the exhaust duct
should not be less than 6" (150 mm).
– 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 straigh
t as possible.
– If elbows are needed, make sure they
have
a large radius.
– The exhaust duct itself must not be
kink
ed or compressed.
– Make sure that all connections are
secur
e and airtight.
Remember that any constriction of
the air
flow will reduce extraction
performance and increase operating
noise.
If the e
xhaust duct is to be routed
thr
ough an outside wall, we
recommend installing a telescopic
wall vent or a rooftop vent (available
as an optional accessory).
If the e
xhaust air is to be conducted
int
o a vent flue, the intake piece must
be aligned with the flow direction of
the flue.
When installing the exhaust duct
horizontally, you must slope it away
from the source by at least 1 cm per
meter (3/8" per 3 1/4'). This ensures
that condensate cannot drain back
into the ventilation hood.
If the exhaust duct is to be routed
thr
ough rooms, ceiling space etc., the
temperatures in these different areas
may differ greatly, which means that
the problem of condensation will
need to be addressed. The exhaust
duct will need to be insulated.
Exhaust duct
32
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 co
ndensate 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
envir
onmental impact of your ventilation
system by limiting the CFM output the
Reducing Collar can be installed. It
reduces the air flow to less than 400
CFM. Check local building codes for
max. CFM requirements.
Push the Reducing Collar on the
e
xhaust port of the fan.
Push the exhaust hose over it.
Fix both with a hose clamp.
