Warning and Safety instructions
4
This appliance complies with all relevant local and national safety
requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal in-
jury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please
read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time.
They contain important notes on the safety, installation, use and
maintenance of the appliance. Miele cannot be held liable for non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that all users
are familiar with the contents. Pass them on to any future owner of
the appliance.
Correct application
This cooker hood is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
The cooker hood is not intended for outdoor use.
It must only be used as a domestic appliance to extract vapours
and remove odours from cooking.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.
Where a recirculation cooker hood is fitted above a gas hob,
please ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air into the
room in which it is installed. Please seek the advice of a qualified gas
fitter (e.g. GasSafe in the UK) if necessary.
Warning and Safety instructions
5
The cooker hood can only be used by people with reduced phys-
ical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and know-
ledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how
to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the con-
sequences of incorrect operation.
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the cooker
hood unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the cooker hood unsu-
pervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise
and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the cooker
hood unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the cooker hood and do
not let them play with it.
Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be
kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children
could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and
suffocate.
Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re-
pairs 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 correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa-
tion tested by a qualified electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of this cooker hood can only be as-
sured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match
the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electri-
cian if in any doubt.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These 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.
The cooker hood must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
Touching electrical components and tampering with electrical and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause op-
erational faults.
Only open the housing as described in the instructions given in the
installation sheet and in the Cleaning and care section of this book-
let. 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 approved service technician.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
Warning and Safety instructions

Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air
from the room
Warning - danger of toxic fumes
Great care should be taken when using the cooker hood at the
same time and in the same room or area of the house as another
heating appliance which depends on the air in the room.
Such appliances include gas, oil, wood or coal-fired boilers and
heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas hobs, cook-
ers or ovens which draw air in from the room and duct exhaust
gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting.
When used in extraction mode, with or without an external motor
fitted, or in recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed
outside the room, the appliance draws air in from the room in
which it is installed and from neighbouring rooms.
If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating
appliance will be starved of oxygen, impairing combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extraction
ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
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 cooker hood and the heater are in operation simultan-
eously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the
maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be
blocked, in windows, doors or outside wall vents, or by other tech-
nical measures, such as ensuring that the cooker hood can only be
switched on when the heating appliance is switched off or vice
versa. 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, GasSafe in the UK)
must be sought.
If the cooker hood is used in recirculation mode, where the air is
directed back into the room in which it is located, operating a heat-
ing appliance which depends on the room air at the same time is
no cause for concern.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
Correct use
Never use a naked flame beneath the cooker hood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over a naked flame.
When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter.
Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
The cooker hood can become damaged when exposed to excess-
ive heat.
– When using the cooker hood over a gas hob, 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 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. Never leave an open grill unattended
when grilling. Overheated oil and fat can ignite and could set the
cooker hood on fire.
