Operation
16
Switch on the blower
Power levels 1 to 3 are available for light
to heavy cooking vapors and odors.
If heavy cooking vapors and odors
occur temporarily, e.g., during frying,
select stage B as booster level.
Use the blower switch to turn on
the blower and select the appropriate
power level.
Cooking on a high setting causes
very high temperatures in the
ventilation hood.
Excessive temperatures may
damage the ventilation hood.
Always switch on the ventilation hood
when using the cooktop.
Particularly when using gas cooktops,
one of the following blower levels
should be selected depending on
which cooking level is selected.
Ventilation hood with blower DRIB/
DREBXL (700cfm)
Gas power level
switched on
Minimum
blower level
from approx.
75,000BTU/h (22kW)

3
The ventilation hood is fitted with a
temperature sensor. If a blower level
that is too low is selected, the
ventilation hood automatically
switches temporarily to the booster
level. This occurs even if the
ventilation hood is switched off.
Operation
17
Turning off the blower
It is advisable to run the blower for a
few minutes after cooking has finished
to neutralize any lingering vapors and
odors in the air.
To turn the blower off, turn the blower
switch to 0.
Turning the overhead lighting
on/off
The overhead lighting can be turned on
and off independently from the blower.
Use the light switch to turn the
overhead lighting on (1) and off (0).
Energy-saving tips
18
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.
– 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
19
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".

Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
to clean the control buttons.
Cleaning and care
20
Baffle filter
The reusable stainless steel baffle
grease filters in the appliance absorb
the solid particles of kitchen vapors
(grease, dust, etc.) and prevent soiling
of the ventilation hood
A dirty filter is a fire hazard!
Cleaning intervals
Accumulated grease solidifies over a
longer period of time and makes
cleaning more difficult. It is therefore
recommended to clean the baffle filters
every 3-4 weeks.
Removing the baffle filter
During removal, the filter may drop to
the ground.
This can result in damage to the filter
and the cooktop.
During cleaning, be sure to hold the
filter securely.
Push the baffle filter upward , pivot
it down and remove the filter.
If charcoal filters are installed on the
back side of the baffle filter, remove
them prior to cleaning (see "Charcoal
filters").
Cleaning and care
21
Cleaning the baffle filters by hand
Use a sponge with a solution of warm
water and liquid dish soap. Do not
use concentrated dish soaps.
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 baffle filters in a
dishwasher
If possible, place the baffle filter
vertically or inclined in the lower
basket. Ensure the spray arm is not
obstructed.
Use a common dishwashing
detergent.
In a Miele dishwasher user either the
"Normal" or "Grates and Filters"
programm.
After cleaning
After cleaning, leave the baffle filters
on an absorbent surface to dry.
When removing the baffle filters for
cleaning, also clean off any
accessible oil or fat buildup from the
housing. Doing so will prevent a fire
hazard.
Grease tray
The lower support for the baffle filters
serves as a grease tray; it collects
dripped grease and can be removed for
cleaning.
Pull the grease tray upward and
remove it.
For cleaning purposes, observe the

BTU Reducing Nozzle Set
If a shorter distance between the
exhaust hood or wall unit and the gas
cooktop is required than that allowed
by the burner output, the burner output
of the Miele Range Tops and the Miele
Range Gas Cooktops can be reduced.
This requires the use of the nozzle set
supplied with the unit.
The nozzle sets can also be ordered as
a replacement part.
Please observe the conversion
instructions for the nozzle set as well
as the operating instructions for the
gas cooktop or the installation
instructions for the range.
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 optimal vapor extraction,
make sure 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
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.
Installation
33
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" (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 for
the canopy as outlined in
"Appliance dimensions".
Make a cutting line 3" (76 mm) above
and 3" (76 mm) below the outline of
the canopy.
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" (13 mm) thick). Tape the
joints and refinish the wall.
Proceed to the enclosed "Installation
diagram" to complete the installation.
Air venting
34
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.
The exhaust air adapter of the
ventilation hood depends on the blower
used:
– DRIB/DREBXL:8"(203mm)
– DRIB/DREBXXL:10"(254mm)
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
duct hoses made from non-
combustible materials for exhaust
duct.
To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise levels,
please observe the following:
– The cross-section of the exhaust
duct must not be smaller than the
cross-section of the vent collar (see
appliance dimensions).
– 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 must not be kinked
or compressed. When selecting the
exhaust duct, ensure that it is rigid
enough to retain its shape during
operation.
– Make sure that all connections are
secure and airtight.
Any constriction of the airflow will
reduce extraction performance and
increase operating noise.
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a flue, the duct must be directed in
the flow direction of the flue.
Air venting
35
When duct is horizontal it must be
laid to slope away at at least 1/8 inch
per foot. This is to ensure that
condensate cannot drain back into
the appliance.
If the exhaust duct is to be routed
through 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.
Installation of a non-return flap in the
exhaust duct is recommended. It
ensures that air, once ducted to the
outside, cannot get back into the
room again.
