Technical safety
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
danger
ous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
technician.
A d
amaged appliance can be dangerous. Check it for visible signs
of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
The ele
ctrical 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.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a
qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not con
nect 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
F
or safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
This r
angehood 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 manu
facturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is

mains plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains
electricity supply.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air
fr
om the room
W
arning - danger of toxic fumes
Great care should be taken when using the rangehood at the
same time and in the same room or area of the house as another
heating appliance which depends on the air in the room.
Such appliances include gas, oil, wood or coal-fired boilers and
heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops, or
ovens which draw air in from the room and duct exhaust gases
out through a chimney or extraction ducting.
When used in extraction mode, with or without an external motor
fitted, or in recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed
outside the room, the appliance draws air in from the room in
which it is installed and from neighbouring rooms.
If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating
applian
ce will be starved of oxygen, impairing combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extraction
ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off
by the heatin
g appliances from being drawn back into the room
when the rangehood and the heater are in operation
simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa)
is the maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be
blocked, in windows, doors or outside wall vents, or by other
technical measures, such as ensuring that the rangehood can only
be switched on when the heating appliance is switched off or vice
versa. 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 used in recirculation mode, where the air is
directed back into the room in which it is located, operating a
heating appliance which depends on the room air at the same
time is not hazardous.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
Correct use
Never use an open
flame beneath 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.
Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
The r
angehood 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 r
angehood on when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in the rangehood, which could
cause corrosion.
When cooki
ng with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc.,
do not leave the pans unattended. Never leave an open grill
unattended when grilling. Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the rangehood on fire.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
Do not use the r
angehood 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.
Ther
e is a risk of fire if the rangehood is not cleaned as described
in these operating instructions.
The r
angehood 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 t
o the cooktop manufacturer's instructions as to whether a
rangehood may be operated above the cooktop.
Safety r
egulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solid
fuel stoves.
Insufficient 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 must
be maintained, unless the cooktop manufacturer states that a
greater 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 distance
s given in "Installation" must be observed when
fitting the rangehood.
All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable
mat
erial. These can be obtained from builders' merchants.
The applianc
e must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use. Neither should it be connected to ducting which
ventilates rooms with fireplaces.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
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
Ther
e is a risk of fire if the rangehood is not cleaned as described
in these operating instructions.
In ar
eas 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.
Do not use a st
eam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
Accessories
Use only ge
nuine 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
mat
erial
The transport and protective packing
h
as been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
u
se 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
oft
en contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
commu
nity waste collection / recycling
centre.
Ensure that your old appliance presents
no dange
r to children while being
stored for disposal.

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 ventilation system does
not have
a non-return flap, the non-
return flap supplied must be fitted.
Recirculation mode
(available as an optional extra with a
conve
rsion kit and charcoal filter: see
"Technical Data")
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the gr
ease filter and then by a charcoal
filter. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen.

Energy saving tips
19
This rangehood operates very efficiently
and econo
mically. The following will
help you to save even more energy
when using it:
– Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation in the kitchen when
coo
king. 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 r
angehood. A lower power level is
generally sufficient for the majority of
cooking. Only use the intensive
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
r
angehood off after use.
– Clean or change the filters at regular
int
ervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.
Cleaning and care
20
Housing
General
The surfaces and controls are
su
sceptible to scratches and
abrasion.
Please observe the following
cleaning instructions.
Switch the r
angehood off before any
cleaning or maintenance work is
carried out.
All e
xternal surfaces and controls can
be cleaned using warm water with a
small amount of washing-up liquid
applied with a well wrung-out soft
sponge or cloth.
Do not use too much water when
cle
aning the controls.
Water could penetrate into the
ele
ctronics and cause damage.
Aft
er cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
Do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
acids, chlorides or solvents,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners o
r cream cleaners
and abrasive sponges, as well as pot
scourers or sponges which have
been used previously with abrasive
cleaning agents. These will damage
the surface material.
Important for appliances with
stainless st
eel surfaces
(This infomation does not apply to the
contr
ols)
S
tainless steel surfaces can be
cleaned with a proprietary non-
abrasive cleaning agent designed
specifically for use on stainless steel.
T
o help prevent re-soiling, a
proprietary conditioning agent for
stainless steel (Original Miele Care
product for stainless steel) can also
be used. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on the packaging.
Apply sparingly with a soft cloth
following the instructions on the
packaging.
Important for the controls
Do not leave soiling on the controls
for any length of time.
Otherwise they may suffer
discol
ouration or damage.
Remove any soiling immediately.
Obser
ve the general notes on
cleaning earlier in this section.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
ag
ents on the controls.
Cleaning and care
21
Grease filter
The re-usable metal grease filter in the
appliance r
emoves solid particles from
the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc.)
preventing soiling of the rangehood.
An oversatur
ated filter is a fire
hazard.
When to clean the grease filters
The grease filter should be cleaned
r
egularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to
avoid a build-up of grease.
Removing a grease filter
The grease filter can fall out when
you
are handling it.
This can result in damage to the filter
and the coo
ktop below.
Make sure you hold the filter
secu
rely at all times when handling
it.
When removing the grease filter do
no
t tilt it downwards at an angle.
This can damage the retaining pins.

and hold the grease filter securely.
Whilst holding the grease filter, pull
the deflector plate out as shown.
The
n pull the filter downwards to
remove it.
Switch off the fan.
Cleaning the grease filter by hand
Cle
an the grease filter 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.
Cleaning and care
22
Unsuitable cleaning agents
Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause
damage t
o 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 filter in a
dishwasher
Place
the filter as upright as possible
in the lower basket, with the short
side upright, ensuring the spray arm
is not obstructed.
Use a pr
oprietary household
dishwasher detergent.
Selec
t a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50 °C
and 65 °C.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleani
ng the grease filter in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the filter in any way.
After cleaning
Aft
er cleaning, leave the grease filter
to dry on an absorbent surface
before refitting it.
When r
emoving the filter for cleaning,
also clean off any residues of oil or
fat from the now accessible casing to
prevent the risk of these catching fire.
Fitting the grease filter
When fitting
the grease filter, make
sure that the red plastic guides are at
the front and facing upwards.
Place
the grease filter in the front of
the deflector plate, press it upwards
and push it in together with the
deflector plate. It will slide onto the
retaining pins at the back. Finally,
push the grease filter back a little
more.
Cleaning and care
23
NoSmell active charcoal filter
If the rangehood is connected for
r
ecirculation, a charcoal filter must be
inserted in addition to the grease filter.
This is designed to absorb cooking
odours.
It is fitted in the canopy above the
grease filter.
Replacement charcoal filters can be
obtained fr
om Miele or via the internet
at www.miele-shop.com (depending on
country). See back of booklet for
contact details, and "Technical data"
for type and reference number.
Fitting and replacing the charcoal

e
xtraction, the rangehood must cover
the cooktop. It should be positioned
centrally over the cooktop, not to the
side.
– The cooktop should be no wider than
the r
angehood and, if possible, it
should be narrower, especially for
safety distances greater than 750
mm.
– The installation area must be easily
acce
ssible. 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.
Installation
31
a
Example: Installation without a front
panel fitt
ed and with the front edge
of the deflector plate flush with the
front edge of the furniture housing
unit.
b
Example: Installation with a front
panel t
o match the kitchen furniture.
This installation requires dimension
b for the front panel plus 5 mm for
the DML 400 fixing bracket to be
added to the shelf dimension.
To position the rangehood correctly, cut
the spacer strip t
o the required depth T
and then attach it to the back of the
appliance:
T= Depth of furniture unit K minus
depth of appliance G
Cut the spacer strip supplied to
measurement T. Score along the
groove for the smaller measurement
as shown, and remove the surplus.
Installation
32
Secur
e the spacer strip underneath
the housing unit sides, flush with the
rear wall.
Dr
aw a vertical line up both inside
walls of the housing from the front of
the spacer strip.
The brackets are designed for 16 and
19 mm thick unit sides. Orientate the
bracket so that the vertical depth
matches the thickness of the unit
side.
Screw the brackets onto the right and
left inside walls of the housing unit as
shown. The back edge of the bracket
should align with the vertical line
drawn up from the front of the spacer
strip and the lower edge should align
with the lower edge of the housing
unit side wall.
Installation
33
To avoid scratching the deflector
plat
e, do not remove the protective
film between the deflector plate and
the casing until the rangehood has
been placed in the housing unit.
Installa
tion of the rangehood is
carried out without the grease filter
placed in position. If the grease filter
has already been fitted, then it should
be removed (see "Cleaning and
care").
When fitting
a 90 cm wide rangehood
in a 60 cm wide wall unit, whilst the
deflector plate is pulled out, unscrew
the two deflector plate spring
mounts.
Lift the appliance up into the housing
unit from below until the spring
mounts at the side engage in the
brackets.
P
ush the rangehood back against the
spacer strip.
No
te for dismantling the rangehood:
Undoing the screws on the left and
right inside the housing releases the
spring mounts, allowing the
appliance to be removed from the
unit.
Installation
34
Secur
e the rangehood to the
brackets from below using two
screws on each side.
L
oosen the retaining bracket screws
and push the brackets back against
the rear wall.
Secure the retaining brackets to the
rear wall using the screws supplied.
The housing must be secured firmly
t
o the rear wall of the furniture unit.
If this is not ensured, the housing
may lea
n forwards and the canopy
could be damaged when it is pulled
out and pushed back in.
If the furniture unit does not have a
no
n-yielding rear wall, the retaining
brackets must be attached to the
kitchen wall. To do this, suitable
means of attachment must be used.
Installation
35
Alig
n the housing and screw on the
retaining brackets.
Secur
e the spacer strip to the back of
the appliance from behind using 4
plastic rivets as shown.
Attaching the front panel
The front of the deflector plate can be
fitt
ed with a front panel to match
existing kitchen furniture units.
The front panel must not exceed
1300 g. This applies to front panels with
a depth of up to 30 mm. For larger and
heavier front panels, the weight must
be reduced, e.g. by machining it away
at the back.
A DML 400 installation kit, available as
an optional accessory, is required for
fitting a front panel.
F
ollow the installation instructions
supplied.
Installation
36
Aligning the deflector plate
The position of the deflector plate can
be b
rought forward by up to 35 mm
using the adjusting screws on either
side of the deflector plate. This allows
the deflector plate to be aligned to the
front of the kitchen furniture units on
either side.
Use a scr
ewdriver to align the
deflector plate correctly.
Fitting the grease filter
Remo
ve the protective foil around the
edge of the grease filter.
When fitting
the grease filter, make
sure that the red plastic guides are at
the front and facing upwards.
Place
the grease filter in the front of
the deflector plate, press it upwards
and push it in together with the
deflector plate. It will slide onto the
retaining pins at the back. Finally,
push the grease filter back a little
more.
Installation
37
Set up for extraction mode
If r
equired, install the non-return flap.
Check that the flap opens easily and
closes by itself. Depending on the
model of rangehood, the non-return
flap may already be installed.
Secur
e the exhaust ducting to the
exhaust connection, e.g. with a hose
clip (available as an optional
accessory) on flexible ducting.
Place
the exhaust ducting on the
exhaust connection for the
rangehood.
See "Conn
ection for air extraction"
for further instructions on fitting the
ducting.
Installation
38
Set up for recirculation mode
If site conditions are not suitable for the
r
angehood to be used with air
extraction, the appliance must be set
up for recirculation. The DUU 151
conversion kit, available from Miele, is
required for operating the rangehood in
recirculation mode. You will also need a
charcoal filter (see "Technical data").
When using the rangehood in
r
ecirculation mode, a non-return flap is
not fitted. Depending on the model of
rangehood, the non-return flap may
already be fitted.
Remo
ve the non-return flap from the
exhaust connection.
Fit the conversion kit as described in
the installation instructions supplied
with the kit. Mak
e sure that the slats
in the exhaust grille point towards the
centre of the room and not towards a
wall or the ceiling.
A non-return flap is not used in
recirculation mode.
Fi
t the charcoal filter (see "Cleaning
and care").
Installation
39
Mains connection
Refer to the notes in “Electrical
c
onnection” and “Warning and
Safety instructions” before
connecting to the electricity supply.
F
or appliances connected to an
external motor (...EXT models):
Connect the rangehood and the
external motor using the control
cable and the six-pole plug
connector.
Plug the mains connection cable into
an electrical socket.
Electrical connection
40
All electrical work should be
undertaken by a suitably qualified
and competent person in strict
accordance with current national and
local safety and building code
regulations. Installation, repairs and
other work by unqualified persons
could be dangerous, for which the
manufacturer cannot be held liable.
Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance until after installation or
repair work has been carried out.
The rangehood must be connected to a
suitably ear
thed socket (AC 230 V,
50 Hz).
For extra safety it is advisable to install
a r
esidual current device (RCD) with a
trip current of 30 mA.
Connection of this appliance should be
made via a suitable iso
lator which
complies with national and local safety
regulations and the On-Off switch
should be easily accessible after the
appliance has been built in.
If the mains socket is not accessible
aft
er installation, an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for all
poles. There must be an all-pole
contact gap of 3 mm in the switch
(including switch, fuses and relays
according to EN 60335).
The connection data is given on the
data plat
e (See "After sales service").
Ensure that this data matches the
household mains supply.

Befor
e 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
acc
ording to local and national
building regulations. Seek approval
from the building inspector where
necessary.
Only use smoo
th pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable
materials for the extraction ducting.
Highly flexible, concertina type
ducting
material will greatly reduce
the performance of the rangehood.
When usin
g 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.
T
o achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise level,
please note the following:
To ensure efficient air extraction, the
diamet
er of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150 mm.
– A reduction in diameter will
com
promise the extraction
performance of the rangehood.
– If flat ducting is being used, the
cr
oss-sectional area must not be
smaller than the cross-sectional area
of the exhaust connection.
– The exhaust ducting should be as
sho
rt and straight as possible.
– Only use wide radius bends.
– The exhaust ducting should not be
kin
ked or compressed.
– Ensure that all connections are
str
ong and airtight.
Remember that any constriction of
the ai
rflow 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 e
xhaust air is to be ducted into
a vent flue, the ducting must be
directed in the flow direction of the
flue.
Connection for air extraction
42
When ducting is horizontal it must be
lai
d to slope away at at least 1 cm
per metre. This is to ensure that
condensate cannot drain back into
the rangehood.
If the e
xhaust ducting is to run
through rooms, ceiling space etc.
where 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.
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
125 mm or 150 mm ducting.
When insta
lling 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.
The condensate trap will be integrated
in r
angehoods which are designed to
be connected to an external fan
(model......EXT).
Silencer
To achieve even further reductions in
noise levels, a special silencer (optional
acc
essory) can be fitted in the ducting
system.
Air extraction mode
The silencer not only reduces noise
fr
om 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 .
Connection for air extraction
43
Recirculation mode
The silencer needs to be positioned
between the e
xhaust connection and
the exhaust grille . Ensure there is
adequate space for fitting it.
Air extraction with external motor
To minimise noise from the motor in the
kitchen, the silencer should be
position
ed in front of the external motor
if possible, or, if the ducting is long,
above the exhaust connection inside
the rangehood . In the case of an
external motor located inside the
house, fitting a silencer behind the
external motor reduces the noise of
the motor outside the house.
