Technical safety
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
- Use this appliance only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact Miele.
- 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.
Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by
a Miele authorized service technician in accordance with national
and local safety regulations and the provided installation
instructions. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for
examination, repair or adjustment. Repairs and other work by
unauthorized persons could be dangerous and may void the
warranty.
A damaged ventilation hood can be dangerous. Always check for
visible signs of damage. Never use a damaged ventilation hood.
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
7
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power
supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized
with the grid power supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply
system complies with national and local codes.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be
replaced by equivalent measures in the installation.
To avoid damaging the ventilation hood, make sure that the
connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate
correspond to the building's power supply before connecting the
appliance.
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not use a power bar or extension cord to connect the
ventilation hood to electricity. These are a fire hazard and do not
guarantee the required level of appliance safety.
To ensure safe operation, only use the ventilation hood after it has
been properly installed.
This ventilation hood may not be used in non-stationary locations
(e.g. on a ship).
Adequate ventilation must be provided when the hood is operated
simultaneously with devices that burn gas or other fuels.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a
qualified service technician.
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the ventilation
hood must be disconnected from the electrical supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply if one of the following
applies:
- The circuit breakers on the electrical service panel are tripped.
- The screw-type fuses on the electrical service panel have been
removed.
- The power cord (if present) has been unplugged from the socket
(pull the plug not the cord).

Correct use
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
- a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Heat oils slowly
on low or medium settings.
- b) Always turn the hood on when cooking at a high heat.
- c) Clean the ventilation hood frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter.
- d) Use the proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for
the size of the cooking area.
Open flames are a fire hazard.
The use of an open flame under the ventilation hood is not permitted.
To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame.
When switched on, the ventilation hood could draw flames into the
filter. Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING*:
- a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet, or
metal tray then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT
BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
- b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
- c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a
violent steam explosion will result.
- d) Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
– 1) You have a class ABC extinguisher, and you know how to operate it.
– 2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
– 3) The fire department is being called.
– 4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
Always turn the ventilation hood on whenever a burner is in use to
prevent damage from condensation.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
ventilation hood.
Do not leave cookware, pans, and deep-fat fryers unattended when
cooking with oil or fat. Similarly, never leave an open flame
unattended when grilling.
Fat and debris deposits impair the proper functioning of the
ventilation hood.
To ensure that cooking vapors are properly cleaned, never use the
ventilation hood without the grease filters in place.
Please note that the heat rising from the stovetop during cooking
can cause the ventilation hood to become very hot.
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the ventilation
hood has cooled down.
