Technical safety

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could bedangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electricalappliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved servicetechnician.

A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check it for visible signsof damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen continuity is complete between it and an effective earthingsystem. It is most important that this basic safety requirement ispresent and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, thehousehold wiring system should be inspected by a qualifiedelectrician.

Reliable and safe operation of this rangehood can only be assuredif it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure thatthe connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond inorder to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult aqualified electrician if in any doubt.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by amulti-socket unit or an extension lead. Extension leads are a firehazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

For appliances with an external motor fitted (...EXT models) theconnection of the two units must be made using the control cableand the plug connectors.These models may only be combined with a Miele external motor.


7

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it hasbeen built in.

This rangehood must not be installed and operated in mobileinstallations (e.g. on a ship).

Tampering with electrical connections or components andmechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can causeoperational faults. Only open the housing as described in the instructions given in theinstallation sheet and in the "Cleaning and care" section of thisbooklet. Under no circumstances should any other parts of thehousing be opened.

The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance isnot repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spareparts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of theappliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only bereplaced by a Miele authorised service technician or suitablyqualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard.

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliancemust be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is onlycompletely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or

– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn fromthe socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mainsplug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricitysupply.


8

Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the airfrom the room

Warning - danger of toxic fumesGreat care should be taken when using the rangehood at the sametime and in the same room or area of the house as another heatingappliance which depends on the air in the room.Such appliances include gas, oil, wood or coal-fired boilers andheaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops, orovens which draw air in from the room and duct exhaust gases outthrough a chimney or extraction ducting.

When used in extraction mode, with or without an external motorfitted, or in recirculation mode with a recirculation box installedoutside the room, the appliance draws air in from the room inwhich it is installed and from neighbouring rooms.If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heatingappliance will be starved of oxygen, impairing combustion.Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extractionducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.


9

In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given offby the heating appliances from being drawn back into the roomwhen the rangehood and the heater are in operationsimultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa)is the maximum permissible.

Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot beblocked, in windows, doors or outside wall vents, or by othertechnical measures, such as ensuring that the rangehood can onlybe switched on when the heating appliance is switched off or viceversa. A ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to ensuresafe ventilation.

The overall ventilation condition of the dwelling must be taken intoaccount. If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder, or forgas a qualified gas fitter (registered with an official gas safety bodyin accordance with national safety regulations), must be sought.

If the rangehood is used in recirculation mode, where the air isdirected back into the room in which it is located, operating aheating appliance which depends on the room air at the same timeis not hazardous.


10

Correct use

Never use an open flame beneath the rangehood. To avoid thedanger 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 excessiveheat.

– When using the rangehood over a gas cooktop, ensure that anyburners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the cookingzone 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 thepan.

– 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 couldcause corrosion.

When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc.,do not leave the pans unattended. Never leave an open grillunattended when grilling. Overheated oil and fat can ignite and couldset the rangehood on fire.


11

Do not use the rangehood without the filters in place. This wayyou will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the applianceand hindering its smooth operation.

The rangehood can get very hot during cooking due to heat risingfrom the cooktop.Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the rangehoodhas cooled down.

Correct installation

Refer to the cooktop manufacturer's instructions as to whether arangehood may be operated above the cooktop.

Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solidfuel stoves.

Insufficient distance between the cooktop and the rangehood canresult in damage to the rangehood.The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop andthe bottom of the rangehood given in the "Installation" section mustbe maintained, unless the cooktop manufacturer states that a greaterdistance 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 whenfitting the rangehood.


12

All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammablematerial. These can be obtained from builders' merchants.

The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent fluewhich is in current use for exhausting fumes from appliances burninggas or other fuels. Neither should it be connected to ducting whichventilates rooms with fireplaces.

If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation ductno longer used for other purposes, seek professional advice.

Cleaning and care

There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out as described inthese operating instructions.

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a shortcircuit.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches orother vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and itssurroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage whichmay be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be coveredby the machine warranty.

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts oraccessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will beinvalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Caring for the environment

13

Disposal of the packingmaterialThe transport and protective packaginghas been selected from materials whichare environmentally friendly fordisposal, and can normally be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces theuse of raw materials in themanufacturing process and alsoreduces the amount of waste in landfillsites. Ensure that any plasticwrappings, bags etc. are disposed ofsafely and kept out of the reach ofbabies and young children. Danger ofsuffocation.

Disposing of your oldapplianceElectrical and electronic appliancesoften contain valuable materials. Theyalso contain specific materials,compounds and components, whichwere essential for their correct functionand safety.

Description of the functions

16

Depending on the model of therangehood, the following options areavailable:

Air extraction mode

The air is drawn in and cleaned by thegrease filter and directed outside.

Non-return flap

The non-return flap is designed toprevent the exchange of room andoutside air taking place.The flap is closed when the rangehoodis switched off.When the rangehood is switched on,the non-return flap opens for thecooking vapours to be blown directlyoutside.

If the on-site ventilation system doesnot have a non-return flap, the non-return flap supplied must be fitted.

Recirculation mode(available as an optional extra with aconversion kit and charcoal filter: see"Technical Data")

The air is drawn in and cleaned first bythe grease filter and then by a charcoalfilter. The cleaned air is thenrecirculated back into the kitchen.

Operation with an externalmotor(...EXT model rangehoods)

Rangehoods set up for operation withan external motor have to be connectedto a Miele external motor located in asuitable position outside the room inwhich the rangehood is installed. Theexternal motor is linked to therangehood via a connection cable andthen operated via Con@ctivity 2.0 orusing the controls on the rangehood.

Description of the functions

17

Con@ctivity 2.0 functionAutomatic control

The rangehood has a communicationfacility which enables the automaticoperation of the rangehood dependingon the operational state of a Mieleelectric cooktop.

For communication to take place, thecooktop must be fitted with anappropriate Con@ctivity 2.0 dongle .

Please consult the installationinstructions for the Con@ctivity 2.0dongle to see if connection to yourcooktop is possible.

In order to be able to use theCon@ctivity 2.0 function, radio contactbetween the cooktop and therangehood must be established (see"Activating Con@ctivity 2.0").

The cooktop transmits informationabout its operational status via a radiosignal to the rangehood.

– When the cooktop is switched on,the cooktop lighting on therangehood comes on independentlyand, then after a short time, the fanalso comes on.

– During cooking the rangehoodautomatically sets the power levelaccording to the number of cookingzones in operation and their powerlevels.

– After switching the cooktop off, thefan and the cooktop lighting willswitch off automatically after aspecified period of time.

See "Operation" for detailed informationabout this function.

Operation (automatic mode)

18

If Con@ctivity 2.0 is activated, therangehood always operates inautomatic mode (see "ActivatingCon@ctivity 2.0").

To operate the rangehood manually, see"Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0(manual mode)".

Cooking with Con@ctivity 2.0(Automatic mode) Switch a cooking zone on at the

power setting you want.

The cooktop lighting will come on.

After a few seconds the fan will comeon, first at power setting 2, then it willswitch immediately to power setting 1.

The rangehood selects the powersetting automatically during cooking.

This is determined by the total output ofthe cooktop, i.e. the number of cookingzones in operation and the powersettings selected.

If you select a higher power setting orare using several cooking zones, therangehood will switch to a higherpower setting.

When you reduce the power settingor the number of cooking zones onthe cooktop, the rangehood powersetting will also be reduced.

Examples for power levels 1 to 4

Reaction timeThe rangehood reacts with a slightdelay because altering the powersetting on the cooktop does notimmediately result in a reduction orincrease in cooking vapours.

Because the cooktop transmits theinformation to the rangehood atintervals, this can also cause delays.

The reaction can vary from a fewseconds to a few minutes.


19

Cooking process If, for example, you switch on a

cooking zone at the highest powersetting to heat a pan for frying andreduce the power level after approx.60 to 90 seconds*, a cooking processis recognised (*60 seconds to 5minutes for a HiLight cooktop).

The rangehood switches itself on andwhen the cooktop power level has beenreduced, the rangehood switches topower setting 3 and remains at thatlevel for approx. 5 minutes.

After that the rangehood power settingis determined automatically by theCon@ctivity function.

You can select another power settingmanually before then.

Switching off Switch off all cooking zones.

The rangehood fan will reduce its powerlevel over the next few minutes and willeventually switch itself off.

This helps to neutralise any lingeringvapours and odours in the air.

– From the Booster setting the fanswitches immediately to setting 3.

– If the fan is operating at setting 3, itwill switch to setting 2 after approx.1 minute.

– From setting 2, the fan switches tosetting 1 after 2 minutes.

– After 2 minutes at setting 1, the fanswitches itself off.

– After another 30 seconds, thecooktop lighting switches off.

The cooking process is then finished.


20

Leaving automatic modetemporarilyTo leave automatic mode temporarilyduring cooking:

Manually select a different powersetting, or

Manually switch the rangehood off, or

Activate the run-on option on therangehood. The fan will switch offafter the selected time and thelighting remains switched on.

The rangehood functions can now beoperated manually (see "Cookingwithout Con@ctivity 2.0 (manualmode)").

Returning to automatic modeThe rangehood returns to automaticmode:

if the rangehood has not been usedfor approx. 5 minutes after selecting apower setting manually, or

if the manually selected power settingcorresponds to the automatic oneagain, or

if the rangehood fan and the cooktophave been switched off for at least 30seconds. Automatic mode will resume nexttime the cooktop is switched on.

If you wish to operate the rangehoodmanually for a complete cookingprocess, switch on the rangehood fanbefore switching on the cooktop. If the rangehood and the cooktophave been switched off for at least 30seconds after cooking, automaticmode will resume the next time thecooktop is switched on.

Energy saving tips

25

This rangehood operates very efficientlyand economically. The following willhelp you to save even more energywhen using it:

– Ensure that there is sufficientventilation in the kitchen whencooking. In extraction mode, if thereis insufficient air flow the rangehoodcannot operate efficiently and thiscauses increased operating noiselevels.

– Always cook with the lowest possiblesetting. This produces fewer cookingvapours, so you can use a lowerrangehood power level and thereforebenefit from reduced energyconsumption.

– Check the power level selected onthe rangehood. A lower power level isgenerally sufficient for the majority ofcooking. Only use the Booster settingwhen necessary.

– When a large volume of cookingvapours are being produced, switchto a high power level in good time.This is more efficient than operatingthe rangehood for longer to try tocapture cooking vapours which havealready been distributed throughoutthe kitchen.

– Make sure that you switch therangehood off after use.

– Clean or change the filters at regularintervals. Heavily soiled filters reduceperformance, increase the risk of fireand are unhygienic.

Cleaning and care

26

Before proceeding with anymaintenance or cleaning task, therangehood must be disconnectedfrom the power supply (see "Warningand Safety instructions").

Housing

General

The surfaces and controls aresusceptible to scratches andabrasion.Please observe the followingcleaning instructions.

All external surfaces and controls canbe cleaned using warm water with asmall amount of washing-up liquidapplied with a well wrung-out softsponge or cloth.

Do not use too much water whencleaning the controls.Water could penetrate into theelectronics and cause damage.

After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dryusing a soft cloth.

Do not use:

– cleaning agents containing soda,acids, chlorides or solvents,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.powder cleaners or cream cleanersand abrasive sponges, as well as potscourers or sponges which havebeen used previously with abrasivecleaning agents. These will damagethe surface material.

Grease filterThe re-usable metal grease filter in theappliance removes solid particles fromthe kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc.)preventing soiling of the rangehood.

An oversaturated filter is a firehazard.

Grease filter cleaning intervals

The grease filter should be cleanedregularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) toavoid a build-up of grease.

The grease filter operating hourscounter prompts you to clean thegrease filters regularly by illuminatingthe grease filter symbol .

You can set the operating hourscounter interval to suit the type ofcooking you do (see "Operation").

Removing a grease filter

When handling a grease filter, becareful not to drop it.This can result in damage to the filterand the cooktop below.Make sure you hold the filter securelyat all times when handling it.

Cleaning and care

27

To take out a grease filter, release thelocking clip on the filter, lower thefilter approx. 45°, unhook it at theback and remove it.

Cleaning the grease filter by hand

Clean the grease filter with a softnylon brush in a mild solution of hotwater and a small amount ofwashing-up liquid. Do not useundiluted washing-up liquid.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Unsuitable cleaning agents can causedamage to the surface of the filters ifused regularly.Do not use:

– cleaning agents containing descalingagents,

– powder cleaners or cream cleaners,

– aggressive all-purpose cleaningagents or spray cleaners for grease,

– oven sprays.

Cleaning the grease filter in adishwasher

Place the filter as upright as possiblein the lower basket, with the shortside upright, ensuring the spray armis not obstructed.

Use a proprietary householddishwasher detergent.

Select a dishwasher programme witha wash temperature between 50 °Cand 65 °C.

Depending on the cleaning agentused, cleaning the grease filter in adishwasher can cause permanentdiscolouration to the internal surfacesof the filter. However, this will notaffect the functioning of the filter inany way.

After cleaning

After cleaning, leave the grease filterto dry on an absorbent surface beforerefitting it.

When removing the filter for cleaning,also clean off any residues of oil or fatfrom the now accessible casing toprevent the risk of these catching fire.

Cleaning and care

28

Resetting the operating hourscounter for the grease filter

After cleaning, the operating hourscounter needs to be reset.

Installation recommendations– To achieve optimum vapour

extraction, the rangehood must bepositioned centrally over the cooktop,not to the side.

– The installation area must be easilyaccessible. The rangehood should beeasily accessible and easy todismantle in the event that service isrequired. This should be taken intoconsideration when planning theposition of cupboards, shelves,ceilings or features in the vicinity ofthe rangehood.

Connection for air extraction

38

Before installation, it is importantto read the information given on thefollowing pages as well as the"Appliance dimensions" and the"Warning and Safety instructions" atthe beginning of this booklet. This isparticularly crucial when using therangehood at the same time as aheating appliance that relies onoxygen from the same room, whichcould result in the build-up of toxicfumes.The rangehood should be installedaccording to local and nationalbuilding regulations. Seek approvalfrom the building inspector wherenecessary.

Only use smooth pipes or flexiblehoses made from non-flammablematerials for the extraction ducting.

Highly flexible, concertina typeducting material will greatly reducethe performance of the rangehood.

When using an external motor, makesure that the exhaust ducting issufficiently rigid. The external motorcan cause an underpressure whichcan result in the exhaust ductingdistorting.

To achieve the greatest possible airextraction with the lowest noise level,please note the following:

– The diameter of the exhaust ductingshould not be less than 150 mm.

– If flat ducting is being used, thecross-sectional area must not besmaller than the cross-sectional areaof the exhaust connection.

– The exhaust ducting should be asshort and straight as possible.

– Only use wide radius bends.

– The exhaust ducting must not bekinked or compressed.

– Ensure that all connections arestrong and airtight.

Remember that any constriction ofthe airflow will reduce extractionperformance and increase operatingnoise.

If the exhaust is ducted through anoutside wall, a telescopic wall vent ora roof vent (available as an optionalaccessory) is recommended.

If the exhaust air is to be ducted intoa vent flue, the ducting must bedirected in the flow direction of theflue.

When ducting is horizontal, it must belaid to slope away at at least 1 cm permetre. This is to ensure thatcondensate cannot drain back intothe rangehood.


39

If the exhaust ducting is to runthrough rooms, ceiling space etc.where there may be great variationsin temperature between the differentareas, the problem of condensationwill need to be addressed. Theexhaust ducting will need to besuitably insulated.

Condensate trap

In addition to insulating the exhaustducting, we recommend that a suitablecondensate trap is also installed tocollect and evaporate any condensatewhich may occur.Condensate traps are available for125 mm or 150 mm ducting.

When installing a condensate trap,ensure that it is positioned verticallyand, if possible, directly above theexhaust socket.The arrow on the housing indicatesthe direction of airflow.

The condensate trap will be integratedin rangehoods which are designed to beconnected to an external fan(model......EXT).

Silencer

To achieve even further reductions innoise levels, a special silencer (optionalaccessory) can be fitted in the ductingsystem.

Air extraction mode

The silencer not only reduces noisefrom the motor outside the house, butalso sounds from outside (e.g. trafficnoise). For this reason, the silencermust be positioned as close as possibleto the ducting exit .


40

Recirculation mode

The silencer needs to be positionedbetween the exhaust connection andthe exhaust grille . Ensure there isadequate space for fitting it.

Air extraction with external motor

To minimise noise from the motor in thekitchen, the silencer should bepositioned in front of the external motor if possible, or, if the ducting is long,above the exhaust connection insidethe rangehood . In the case of anexternal motor located inside the house,fitting a silencer behind the externalmotor reduces the noise of the motoroutside the house.

Electrical connection

41

All electrical work must beundertaken by a suitably qualifiedand competent person in strictaccordance with current national andlocal safety and building coderegulations. Installation, repairs andother work by unqualified personscould be dangerous, for which themanufacturer cannot be held liable.Ensure power is not supplied to theappliance until after installation orrepair work has been carried out.

The rangehood must be connected to asuitably earthed socket (AC 230 V,50 Hz).

For extra safety it is advisable to installa residual current device (RCD) with atrip current of 30 mA.

Connection of this appliance must bemade via a suitable isolator switchwhich provides disconnection on allpoles and which complies with nationaland local safety regulations. Theisolator switch should be easilyaccessible after the appliance has beenbuilt in.

If the mains socket is not accessibleafter installation, an additional means ofdisconnection must be provided for allpoles. There must be an all-polecontact gap of 3 mm in the switch(including switch, fuses and relays).

The connection data is given on thedata plate (See "After sales service").Ensure that this data matches thehousehold mains supply.
