Warning and Safety instructions
4
This rangehood complies with all relevant local and national safety
requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the rangehood. They contain important information on the
safety, installation, use and maintenance of the appliance. This
prevents both personal injury and damage to the rangehood.
In accordance with standard IEC 60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in
“Installation” and in the “Warning and Safety instructions”.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.
Correct application
This rangehood is designed for domestic use and for use in similar
environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts
and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/
shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed
& breakfasts.
The appliance is not suitable for outdoor use.
It must only be used to extract vapours and remove odours from
cooking.
Any other usage is at the owner's risk. Miele cannot be held liable for
damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.
The rangehood cannot be used to ventilate the room in which it is
installed in recirculation mode above a gas cooktop. Please seek the
advice of a qualified gas fitter for more information if necessary.
Warning and Safety instructions
5
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible
for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of misuse.
Safety with children
Young children must not be allowed to use the rangehood.
Older children may only use the rangehood if its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely.
They must be able to understand and recognise the possible
dangers caused by incorrect operation.
Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
Children should be supervised near the appliance. Ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
The cooktop lighting is very intense.
Ensure, in particular, that babies/small children do not look directly
at the light.
Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children may become
entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it
over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material
away from children.
Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a
Miele authorised 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.
The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the rangehood must match the mains electricity supply in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the rangehood.
Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains
electricity. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
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
7
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 authorised 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 and competent electrician in order to avoid a hazard.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely 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 from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.

Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air
from the room
Danger of toxic fumes!
Great care should be taken when using the rangehood in the same
room or the same area of the house as another heating appliance
that depends on the air from the room.
Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct
exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. They
include gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters,
continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops and ovens.
The rangehood draws in air from the kitchen and from
neighbouring rooms. This applies to the following modes of
operation:
- extraction mode
- recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the
room.
If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating
appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extraction
ducting back into the room.
This could have potentially fatal consequences. Risk of death!
Warning and Safety instructions
9
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by
a heating appliance from being drawn back into the room, when
the rangehood and the heater are both operated simultaneously,
an underpressure in the room of 0.04mbar (4Pa) is the maximum
permissible.
Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot
be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. The
diameter of the inlet openings must enable sufficient ventilation. 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 being operated in recirculation mode, whereby
the air is redirected into the room in which it is installed, the above
restrictions do not apply.
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
Open flames are a fire hazard!
Never use an open flame under 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. Kitchen grease
deposits could ignite.
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.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
rangehood.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc., do
not leave the pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an open grill
unattended when grilling.
