Technical safety
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
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.
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 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
6
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 approved 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 electrician in order to avoid a hazard.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance

the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air
from the room
Warning - 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
appliance 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
8
In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off
by the heating appliances from being drawn back into the room
when the rangehood and the heater are in operation
simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04mbar (4pa)
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
9
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 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.
When cooking 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
10
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.
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 distances given in "Installation" must be observed when
fitting the rangehood.
All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable
material. These can be obtained from builders' merchants.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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
12
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
13
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 filter and directed outside.
Non-return flap
The non-return flap is designed to
prevent the exchange of room and
outside air taking 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 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
conversion kit and charcoal filter: see
"Technical Data")
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filter and then by a charcoal
filter. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen.

Operation
16
Switching the fan on
For light to heavy cooking vapours,
select from power levels 1 to 3. For
short periods of strong vapours and
cooking odours, e.g. whilst searing
meat, select the B Booster setting.
Pull the deflector plate out. For
optimum extraction with minimum
noise levels, always pull the deflector
plate out to its full extent.
Switch the fan on with the fan switch
and select the power level you
want.
Fan run-on after cooking
It is advisable to run the fan for a few
minutes after cooking has finished to
neutralise any lingering vapours and
odours in the air.
Switching the fan off
Push the deflector plate in to switch
the fan off. The next time the
deflector plate is pulled out the
rangehood will operate at the power
level it was at previously.
Alternatively you can slide the fan
switch to 0.
Switching the cooktop lighting
on/off
The cooktop lighting can be switched
on and off with the deflector pushed in
or pulled out and independently of the
fan.
Use the lighting switch to switch
the cooktop lighting on (1) or off (0).
Energy saving tips
17
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
18
Housing
General
The surfaces and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasion.
Please observe the following
cleaning instructions.
All external 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
cleaning the controls.
Water could penetrate into the
electronics and cause damage.
After 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 or 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 steel surfaces
(This information does not apply to the
controls)
Stainless steel surfaces can be
cleaned with a proprietary non-
abrasive cleaning agent designed
specifically for use on stainless steel,
e.g. Original Miele ceramic and
stainless steel cooktop cleaner.
To 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
discolouration or damage.
Remove any soiling immediately.
Observe the general notes on
cleaning earlier in this section.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the controls.
Cleaning and care
19
Grease filter
The re-usable metal grease filter in the
appliance removes solid particles from
the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc.)
preventing soiling of the rangehood.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
Grease filter cleaning intervals
The grease filter should be cleaned
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to
avoid a build-up of grease.
Removing a grease filter
When handling a 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.
When removing the grease filter do
not tilt it downwards at an angle.
This can damage the retaining pins.
With the deflector plate pushed in,
grip the front of the deflector plate
and hold the grease filter securely.
Whilst holding the grease filter, pull
the deflector plate out as shown.
Then pull the filter downwards to
remove it.
Switch off the fan.
Cleaning the grease filter by hand
Clean 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
20
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 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 proprietary household
dishwasher detergent.
Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50 °C
and 65 °C.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning 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
After cleaning, leave the grease filter
to dry on an absorbent surface before
refitting it.
When removing 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
21
NoSmell active charcoal filter
If the rangehood is connected for
recirculation, 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 from 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
filter
Before fitting or replacing the
charcoal filter, the grease filter must
first be taken out (see previous
section for instructions on how to do
this).
Unwrap the charcoal filter from its
packaging.
Fit the charcoal filter into the frame.
Replace the grease filter.
When to change the NoSmell active
charcoal filter
Always replace the charcoal filter
when it no longer absorbs kitchen
odours effectively.
It should, however, be replaced at
least every 6months.
Disposing of the charcoal filter
The used charcoal filter can be
disposed of with the normal
household waste.
Cleaning and care

28
Installation recommendations
– To achieve optimum vapour
extraction, 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 rangehood and, if possible, it
should be narrower, especially for
safety distances greater than 750
mm.
– 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.
Installation
29
a
Example: Installation without a front
panel fitted and with the front edge
of the deflector plate flush with the
front edge of the furniture housing
unit. This installation needs a shelf of
at least 95 mm deep.
b
Example: Installation with a front
panel to 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.
The shelf must be correspondingly
deeper.
The remaining installation gap must be
at least 180mm in depth. If it is smaller
than 180 mm, position the appliance
further back, and reduce measurement
T accordingly.
The position of the deflector plate can
be adjusted in depth by a maximum of
35mm at the front.
To position the rangehood correctly, cut
the spacer strip to 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
30
Secure the spacer strip underneath
the housing unit sides, flush with the
rear wall.
Draw a vertical line up both inside
walls of the housing from the front of
the spacer strip.
The brackets are designed for 16 and
19mm 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
31
To avoid scratching the deflector
plate, do not remove the protective
film between the deflector plate and
the casing until the rangehood has
been placed in the housing unit.
Installation 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").
Lift the appliance up into the housing
unit from below until the spring
mounts at the side engage in the
brackets.
Push the rangehood back against the
spacer strip.
Note 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
32
Secure the rangehood to the brackets
from below using two screws on each
side.
Pull out the deflector plate and
remove the protective film between
the deflector plate and the casing.
Secure the rangehood to the floor of
the housing unit from below using 4
screws (6 screws are required for a
90 cm wide rangehood).
To avoid damaging the deflector
plate when it is pulled out, care
should be taken to screw the fixing
screws in straight and to ensure that
the screw heads are countersunk.
Secure the spacer strip to the back of
the appliance from behind using 4
plastic rivets as shown.
Installation
33
Attaching the front panel
The front of the deflector plate can be
fitted with a front panel to match
existing kitchen furniture units.
The front panel must not exceed
1300g. This applies to front panels with
a depth of up to 30mm. 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.
Follow the installation instructions
supplied.
Aligning the deflector plate
The position of the deflector plate can
be brought forward by up to 35mm
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 screwdriver to align the
deflector plate correctly.
Installation

Fitting the grease filter
Remove 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.
Set up for extraction mode
If required, install the non-return flap.
Check that the flap opens easily and
closes by itself.

Attach the exhaust ducting, e.g.
flexible hose, to the exhaust collar
using a hose clip (available as an
optional accessory). When using
125 mm ducting, fit the reducing
collar supplied into the exhaust
socket (see "Connection for air
extraction").
Installation
35
Place the exhaust ducting on the
exhaust collar for the rangehood.
See "Connection for air extraction"
for further instructions on fitting the
ducting.
Set up for recirculation mode
If site conditions are not suitable for the
rangehood to be used with air
extraction, the appliance must be set
up for recirculation. The DUU151
conversion kit, available from Miele, is
required for operating the rangehood in
recirculation mode. You will also need a
charcoal filter (see "Technical data").
Fit the conversion kit as described in
the installation instructions supplied
with the kit. Make 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.
Installation
36
Fit the charcoal filter (see "Cleaning
and care").
Mains connection
Refer to the notes in “Electrical
connection” and “Warning and
Safety instructions” before
connecting to the electricity supply.
Plug the connection cable into an
electrical socket.
Electrical connection
37
All electrical work must 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 earthed socket (AC 230 V,
50Hz).
For extra safety it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD) with a
trip current of 30 mA.
Connection of this appliance must be
made via a suitable isolator switch
which provides disconnection on all
poles and which complies with national
and local safety regulations. The
isolator switch should be easily
accessible after the appliance has been
built in.
If the mains socket is not accessible
after 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).
The connection data is given on the
data plate (See "After sales service").
Ensure that this data matches the
household mains supply.

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
hoses made from non-flammable
materials for the extraction ducting.
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.
Remember that any constriction of
the airflow will reduce extraction
performance and increase operating
noise.
Connection for air extraction

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.
When 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.
If the exhaust 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.
Connection for air extraction
40
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 .
Connection for air extraction
41
Recirculation mode
The silencer needs to be positioned
between the exhaust connection and
the exhaust grille . Ensure there is
adequate space for fitting it.
