Caring for the environment

Disposal of packing material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials

which are environmentally friendly for

disposal and can normally be recycled.

Rather than just throwing these ma-

terials away, please ensure they are of-

fered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances contain materials which

can be reclaimed or recycled. Please

contact your dealer, your waste collec-

tion centre or scrap merchant about

potential recycling schemes.

Ensure that the appliance presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal. See the appropriate sec-

tion in the Warning and Safety instruc-

tions.

Caring for the environment

Warning and safety instructions

This appliance meets statutory

safety requirements. Inappropriate

use could, however, lead to risk of

accidents to the user and damage

to the appliance.

Read the operating instructions be-

fore using this machine for the first

time. They contain important infor-

mation about the safety, use and

maintenance of the machine. This

will avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the machine.

Keep these operating instructions in

a safe place and ensure that new

users are familiar with the content.

Pass them on to any future owner of

the machine.

Appropriate use of the cooker

hood

The appliance is intended for do-

mestic use only.

The manufacturer cannot be held re-

sponsible for any damage caused by

improper use or by non-observance of

these instructions.

Technical safety

Before connecting the cooker

hood to the mains supply, make

sure that the voltage and frequency de-

tails given on the data plate corre-

spond with the on-site electricity sup-

ply. If in doubt consult a qualified

electrician.

The electrical safety of this ap-

pliance can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between

the appliance and an effective earthing

system which complies with local and

national regulations. It is most import-

ant that this basic safety requirement is

tested by a qualified electrician. The

manufacturer cannot be held respon-

sible for the consequences of an inade-

quate earthing system (eg electric

shock).

Installation work and repairs may

only be carried out by suitably

qualified and competent persons to en-

sure safety. Repairs and other work by

unqualified persons could be dan-

gerous.

Warning and safety instructions

The appliance is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply

when, depending on the type of con-

nection:

- it is switched off at the fused unit or

the fuse is withdrawn

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug removed

To remove the plug, pull on the plug it-

self, not the cable.

– the mains fuse is withdrawn

– or the screw-out fuse is removed. En-

sure current is not restored to the ap-

pliance while maintenance or repair

work is being carried out.

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electricity supply by an

extension lead. Extension leads do not

guarantee the required safety of the ap-

pliance (eg danger of overheating).

Use of the appliance

Never use an open flame beneath

the cooker hood. To avoid the

danger of fire, do not flambé or grill

dishes.

When switched on the cooker hood

could draw flames into the filter. Fat

particles drawn into the cooker hood

present a fire hazard.

When using the cooker hood over

a gas hob ensure that any burners

in use are always covered by a pan,

otherwise flames could be drawn up by

the suction of the cooker hood, parts of

which could then be damaged.

Always switch the cooker hood on

when a cooking zone is in use,

otherwise condensation may collect in

the hood, which could cause corrosion.

When cooking with oil or fat, chip

pans and deep fat fryers etc, do

not leave the pans unattended.

Overheated oil and fat can ignite and

could set the cooker hood on fire.

Do not use the cooker hood with-

out the grease filters in place.

This way you will avoid the risk of

grease and dirt getting into the ap-

pliance and hindering its smooth oper-

ation.

Warning and safety instructions

The filters should be regularly

cleaned, or changed, as appropri-

ate.

Saturated filters are a fire hazard.

Under no circumstances use a

steam cleaner to clean this ap-

pliance.

Pressurised steam could give rise to a

short circuit or cause permanent dam-

age to the surface and components, for

which the manufacturer of the cooker

hood cannot accept any responsibility.

Installation

The distance between the top of

the hob and the bottom of the

cooker hood must measure at least:

– 55 cm above electric hobs

– 65 cm above gas hobs

The distance of 65 cm between

the cooker hood and a gas hob is

a minimum, which is only permissible if

the nominal heat ratings given in the

table below are not exceeded:

Gas cooker maximum

nominal rating

one burner 2.7 kW

all burners 7.5 kW

oven 3.5 kW

Gas hob maximum

nominal rating

one burner 3.5 kW

all burners 10.3 kW

Gas hob with ceramic cover plate

The data given for the maximum nominal (heat)

ratings do not apply to a gas hob with a ceramic

cover plate. In this case it is essential to refer to

the hob manufacturer’s data.

Safety regulations prohibit the fit-

ting of a cooker hood over solid

fuel stoves.

All ducting, pipework and fittings

must be of non-flammable mate-

rial. These can be obtained from the

Miele Spare Parts department or from

builders’ merchants.

The appliance must not be con-

nected to a chimney or vent flue

which is in use. 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, take

professional advice.

Warning and safety instructions

When using the cooker hood at the

same time as another heating ap-

pliance which depends on the air in the

room (eg gas, oil or coal fired heaters,

continuous flow or other water heaters,

gas cooker, gas hob or gas oven), spe-

cial care must be taken as the action of

the cooker hood extracts air from the

room, which these type of heaters need

for combustion.

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 extractor and the

heater are in operation simultaneously,

an underpressure in the room of 0.04

mbar (4pa) is the maximum permissible.

Ventilation can be maintained by air in-

lets which cannot be blocked, in win-

dows, doors and outside wall vents, or

by other technical measures, such as en-

suring that the extractor can only be

switched on when the heating appliance

is switched off or vice-versa.

NB: The overall ventilation condition of

the dwelling must be taken into ac-

count. If in any doubt, the advice of a

competent builder or, for gas, a “Corgi”

installer must be sought.

If the cooker hood is operated in recir-

culation mode only, with active char-

coal filters, these restrictions do not

apply.

Disposal of your old appliance

Ensure that disconnection from the

mains supply is carried out by a

competent person. Render any plug

useless. Cut off the cable directly be-

hind the appliance to prevent misuse.

The manufacturer cannot be held re-

sponsible for damage caused by

non-observance of these instruct-

ions.

Warning and safety instructions

Description of the appliance

The cooker hood can be set up to oper-

ate by either air extraction or by air re-

circulation.

The appliance is supplied from the fac-

tory ready for connection as an extrac-

tor.

Air extraction

Air is drawn in through the grease fil-

ters e, cleaned and directed outside.

The appliance is fitted with a non-return

air flap. When the hood is not in oper-

ation, the non-return air flap is closed.

No exchange of air can take place be-

tween the air in the room and the air

outside.

Air recirculation

Air is drawn in through the grease fil-

ters and then through the active char-

coal filters for cleaning. It then passes

back into the kitchen (see section “Air

recirculation”).

Controls
