Operation
17
Turning on the blower
Switch the blower on as soon as you
start cooking. This is to ensure that
vapors are captured right from the start.
Press the On/Off control.
The blower turns on at level 2. The
symbol and 2 will light up in the blower
level display.
Selecting the power level
Power levels 1 to 3 are available for light
to heavy cooking vapors and odors.
For strong vapors and odors that are
temporarily produced when cooking,
e.g., during searing, select the B
Booster setting.
Select the power level you want by
pressing the or control.
Reducing power down from the
Booster setting
If power management is activated
(default setting), the blower
automatically switches back to level 3
after 5minutes.
Delayed shut-down
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 resulting odors.
Turning off the blower

overhead lighting is turned on.
Power management
The ventilation hood is equipped with a
power management system. Power
management helps to save energy. It
ensures that the blower power level is
reduced automatically and that the
lighting is switched off.
- If the booster level is selected, the
blower automatically switches to
level 3 after 5 minutes.
- If the blower is set to level 3, 2, or 1,
it switches back one blower setting
after 2 hours and then in 30-minute
intervals until the blower eventually
switches off.
- The overhead lighting will switch off
automatically after 12hours.
Operation
18
Turning power management on/off
You can deactivate power
management.
Keep in mind that this may increase
energy consumption.
To set this option, turn off the fan and
the overhead lighting first.
Press theandbuttons at the
same time for approx. 10 seconds,
until 1 lights up.
Then, press the following buttons in
succession:
- the lighting button,
- followed by thebutton and then
- the lighting button.
If power management is turned on, the
1 and B indicators will be continuously
lit.
If it is turned off, the 1 and B indicators
will flash.
Press the button to turn power
management off.
The 1 and B indicators will flash.
To turn it on, press the button.
The 1 and B indicators will be
continuously lit.
Confirm your choice with the On/Off
button .
All the indicator lights will go out.
If the new setting is not confirmed
within 4minutes, the ventilation system
reverts to the previous setting.
Safety shut-off
If power management has been
deactivated, the ventilation hood will
switch itself off automatically after
12hours if it has been left on (blower
and overhead lighting).
To switch it back on, press the On/
Off control or the lighting
control.
Energy-saving tips
19
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.
- 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 off the
hood 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 proceeding with any
maintenance or cleaning task, the
ventilation hood must be
disconnected from the power supply,
see “IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS”.
Stainless steel 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, as well as pot scourers or
sponges which have been used
previously with abrasive cleaning
agents
Moisture in the ventilation hood
can cause damage.
Make sure that water does not get
into the ventilation hood.
Clean all surfaces and control buttons
using a small amount of warm water
and liquid dish soap. Apply with a
sponge cloth.
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 buttons.
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 information for the
controls
If soiling is not removed promptly, it
could cause the control elements to
alter or discolor.
Remove soiling immediately.
The surface of the control elements
can become damaged if they are
cleaned using stainless steel
cleaning agents.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the control elements.
Cleaning and care
21
Grease filters
Risk of fire
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
vapors, preventing soiling of the
ventilation hood.
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.
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.
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.
Cleaning and care
22
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.
OdorFree Charcoal Filter
With recirculation mode, a charcoal
filter must be installed in addition to the
grease filters. The charcoal filter is
designed to absorb cooking odors.
The charcoal filter is installed in the
canopy above the grease filters.
Charcoal filters are available to order via
the Miele Web Store, Miele Technical
Service (see end of this manual for
contact details), or from your Miele
dealer. The model designations are
listed in the “Technical data” chapter.
How to install/replace a charcoal
filter
Remove the grease filters before
fitting or replacing a charcoal filter.
Take the charcoal filter out of its
packaging.
Press the charcoal filter into the
frame.
Reinsert the grease filters.
Cleaning and care
23
When to change the OdorFree
Charcoal Filter
Replace the charcoal filter when it no
longer absorbs kitchen odors
effectively.
It should be replaced at least every 6
months.
Disposing of charcoal filters
Used charcoal filters can be disposed
of with normal household waste.
Changing a light bulb
Only use the specified light bulbs.
Other bulbs, for example halogen
bulbs, may become damaged due to
the high generation of heat.
The light bulbs should be replaced with
the following:
Bulb type .............................. LED, GU10
Power ............................................... 3W
Light bulbs are available from Miele or
specialist dealers.
Turn off the blower and the lighting.

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 hood must be centered over the
cooktop, not to the side.
- 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.

Plywood backing
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" (13mm) 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”.

and 3” (76mm) below the outline of
the retaining plate.
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" (13mm) thick). Tape the

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
ducting made from approved non-
flammable materials for ducting.
To achieve the most efficient air
throughput with the lowest noise levels,
please note the following:
- The diameter of the vent ducting
must not be smaller than the cross-
section of the vent collar (see
“Appliance dimensions”). This applies
in particular when using flat ducting.
- The ducting should be as short and
straight as possible.
- Only use wide radius bends.
- The ducting must not be kinked or
compressed.
- All connections must be strong and
airtight.
- If the ducting has flaps, these must
be opened whenever the ventilation
hood is switched on.
Any constriction of the air throughput
will reduce extraction performance
and increase operating noise.
Ventilation stack
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into a
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.
Non-return flap
Use a non-return flap in the vent
system.
A non-return flap ensures that when the
ventilation hood is not in operation, the
duct is closed to prevent unwanted
exchange of room air and outside air.
If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a Miele wall vent or roof
vent (available as an optional
accessory) is recommended. Both of
these have a built-in non-return flap.
If the on-site vent system does not have
a non-return flap, you can purchase one
as an optional accessory.

Condensate
If the ducting is to run through cool
rooms or ceiling space, for example, the
significant variations in temperature
between the different areas can cause
condensate to form. Insulate the
ducting to reduce temperature
variations.
If the ducting is to be laid horizontally, it
must be laid with a downwards sloping
gradient of at least ³/₈" (1cm) per meter.
This is to ensure that condensate
cannot drain back into the ventilation
hood.
In addition to insulating the ducting, it is
advisable to also install a condensate
trap for collecting and evaporating any
potential condensate.
Condensate traps for 5" (125mm) or
6" (150mm) diameter ducting are
available as optional accessories.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and as closely as possible to the
ventilation hood above the exhaust
vent. The arrow on the casing indicates
the direction of airflow.
Miele will not accept warranty claims
for any functional defects or damage
caused by inadequate ducting.
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.

Grounding Instructions
WARNING - Improper grounding can
result in a risk of electric shock.
This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least
resistance. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug.
If there is any doubt, have the electrical
system of the house checked by a
qualified electrician.
Do not use an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician install an outlet near
the appliance.
The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
WARNING - Grounding instructions
