~This appliance complies with current

safety requirements. Improper use of

the appliance can lead to personal

injury and material damage.

,CAUTION

For General Ventilating Use

Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust

Hazardous Or Explosive

Materials And Vapors.

~This appliance is designed to vent

cooking smoke and odors only.

~This appliance is suitable for

installation above gas or electric

cooking surfaces.

~This appliance is not intended for

outdoor use.

~This appliance must not be used in

a non-stationary location (e.g. on a

ship).

,WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR

INJURY TO PERSONS,

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

~a) Use this appliance only in the

manner intended by the manufacturer.

If you have questions, contact Miele.

~b) Before servicing or cleaning the

appliance, switch power off at the

service panel and lock the service

disconnecting means to prevent power

from being switched on accidentally. If

the service disconnecting means

cannot be locked, securely fasten a

prominent warning device, such as a

tag, to the service panel.

~c) Be certain your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by a

qualified technician.

To guarantee the electrical safety of this

appliance, continuity must exist

between the appliance and an effective

grounding system. It is imperative that

this basic safety requirement be met. If

there is any doubt, have the electrical

system of the house checked by a

qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~d) Before connecting the appliance

to the power supply make sure that the

voltage and frequency listed on the

data plate correspond with the

household electrical supply.

This data must correspond to prevent

appliance damage. If in doubt consult a

qualified electrician.

~e) Installation work and repairs

should only be performed by a qualified

technician in accordance with all

applicable codes and standards.

Repairs and other work by unqualified

persons could be dangerous.

~f) Only open the housing as

described in the enclosed "Installation

diagram" and in the "Cleaning and care"

section of this manual. Under no

circumstances should any other parts

of the housing be opened. Tampering

with electrical connections or

components and mechanical parts is

highly dangerous to the user and can

cause operation faults.

~g) Before discarding an old

appliance, disconnect it from the power

supply and remove the power cord to

prevent hazards.

Use

,WARNING

flames do not extend beneath the

cookware. Do not overheat the

cookware, e.g. when using a wok. The

hood can be damaged due to

excessive heat from the burners and

the cookware.

~Do not use the hood without the

grease filters in place.

~Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

the hood. Steam could penetrate

electrical components and cause a

short circuit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation

,WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR

INJURY TO PERSONS,

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

~a) Installation work and electrical

wiring must be done by qualified

person(s) in accordance with all

applicable codes and standards,

including fire-rated construction.

~b) Sufficient air is needed for

combustion and exhausting of gases

through the flue (chimney of fuel

burning equipment to prevent back

drafting. Follow the heating equipment

manufacturer’s guideline and safety

standards such as those published by

the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA) and the American Society for

Heating, Refrigeration and Air

Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and

the local code authorities.

~c) When cutting or drilling into the

wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical

wiring and other hidden utilities.

~d) Ducted hoods must always be

vented to the outdoors.

~e) Do not use this hood with any

solid-state speed control device.

~f) Do not use an extension cord to

connect the appliance to electricity.

Extension cords do not guarantee the

required safety of the appliance,

(e.g. danger of overheating).

~g) Do not install this hood over

cooktops that burn solid fuel.

~h) Provided a larger distance is not

given by the manufacturer of the

cooktop, follow the minimum safety

distances between a cooktop and the

bottom of the hood given in the

"Appliance dimensions" section of this

manual.

If local building codes require a greater

safety distance, follow their

requirement.

If there is more than one appliance

beneath the hood and they have

different minimum safety distances

always select the greater distance.

~i) Never connect an exhaust hood to

an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue,

or room ventilating ductwork.

~j) Seek professional advice before

connecting an exhaust hood vent to an

existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.

~k) Any fittings, sealant, or materials

used to install the ductwork must be

made of approved non-flammable

materials.

,WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

FIRE USE ONLY METAL

DUCTWORK.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The ventilation hood offers two modes of operation:

Air extraction

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the

grease filter and directed outside.

The hood comes equipped with a

non-return flap. This flap automatically

closes when the hood is turned off so

that no exchange of outside air and

room air can occur.

When the hood is turned on, the air

pressure of the exhaust fan auto-

matically opens the flap blowing the

inside air and cooking odors outside.

Recirculation mode

Air is drawn through the grease filter

and active charcoal filter. The filtered

air is then recirculated back into the

kitchen through a vent at the top of the

hood’s chimney.

The active charcoal filter and the

installation kit may be purchased from

your Miele.

Before using the hood in

recirculation mode, ensure that the

active charcoal filter is in place, see

"Cleaning and Care".
