Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your appliance.  
Please do not therefore dispose of it  
with your household waste.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for  
disposal, and can normally be  
recycled.  
Packaging e.g. cling film, polystyrene  
and plastic wrappings must be kept out  
of the reach of babies and young  
children. Danger of suffocation!  
Dispose of or recycle all packaging  
materials safely as soon as possible.  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection / recycling  
centre or contact your dealer for  
advice. Ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
It should be unplugged or disconnected  
from the mains electricity supply by a

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, cookers 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, 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 may 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  
In order to ensure safe operation, and  
One of the following technical  
measures may be necessary to ensure  
safe operation.  
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  
simultaneously, an underpressure of  
0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum  
permissible in the room.  
– If the only way of ensuring adequate  
ventilation is via an open window, a  
window contact switch should be  
fitted to ensure that the cooker hood  
can only operate when the window is  
opened sufficiently. A window  
contact switch kit is available from  
good builders' merchants.  
Take care when ventilating the room  
through an open window that  
ventilation is not impaired by a  
closed blind or curtain.  
– The cooker hood can be set up to  
automatically switch on an air intake  
fan or open a motorised inlet flap  
when it is switched on.  
– The cooker hood can be set up to  
automatically switch off a heating  
appliance which also depends on  
the air from the room when it is  
switched on.  
Ventilation can be maintained by air  
inlets which must not be blocked, in  
windows, doors and outside wall vents,  
or by other technical 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 Miele DSM 400 control module  
offers the possibility of combining other  
components with the cooker hood (see  
"Operation with Control module DSM  
400").  
It is available to purchase as an  
optional extra.  
,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 (Corgi registered  
in the UK) must be sought.  
If in any doubt , the advice of a

Modes of operation  
The cooker hood works with  
. . . air extraction:  
. . . air recirculation:  
(available as an optional extra with a  
conversion kit and charcoal filter: see  
"Technical Data")  
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the  
grease filters and directed outside.  
If the on-site ventilation system does  
not have a non-return flap, the  
non-return flap supplied with the  
appliance must be fitted in the exhaust  
socket in the motor unit.  
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by  
the grease filters and then by a  
charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then  
recirculated back into the kitchen  
through grilles in the top of the cooker  
hood extension piece.  
Having a non-return flap fitted in the  
ducting ensures that air, once ducted  
to the outside, cannot get back into the  
room again.  
Before using the cooker hood in  
recirculation mode, ensure that the  
charcoal filter is in place. See  
"Cleaning and care".  
The flap is closed when the cooker  
hood is switched off.  
When the cooker hood is switched on,  
the non-return flap opens for the  
cooking vapours to be ducted away.

(This infomation does not apply to the  
controls).  
General  
The surfaces and controls are  
susceptible to scratches and  
abrasions. Please observe the  
following cleaning instructions.  
^ Stainless steel surfaces can be  
cleaned using the Miele E-Cloth or  
with a suitable, non-abrasive,  
proprietary cleaning agent, following  
the manufacturer's instructions on the  
packaging.  
^ All external surfaces and controls can  
be cleaned using an E-Cloth, or with  
warm water and a small amount of  
washing-up liquid applied with a well  
wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.  
^ To help prevent re-soiling, a  
conditioning agent for stainless steel  
can also be used. Follow the  
manufacturer's instructions on the  
packaging.  
Only use a damp cloth as water  
could get into the appliance and  
cause damage.  
^ Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft  
cloth.

Cleaning and care  
Important for appliances with  
lacquered housing  
Grease filters  
The re-usable metal grease filters in the  
appliance remove solid particles  
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen  
vapours, preventing soiling of the  
cooker hood.  
(special order finish)  
It is very difficult to clean this type of  
surface without causing minor marks to  
the surface material. This can become  
particularly noticeable with darker  
colours and if there is halogen lighting  
in the kitchen.  
The grease filters should be cleaned  
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to  
avoid a build-up of grease.  
An oversaturated filter is a fire  
hazard.  
Controls  
The controls may suffer  
discolouration or damage if soiling is  
left on them for too long.  
Remove soiling straight away.  
^ Observe the General notes on  
cleaning earlier in this section.  
Do not use stainless steel cleaning  
agents on the controls.  
^ To take out the grease filters, release  
the locking clip on the filters, lower  
the filters 45°, unhook them at the  
back and remove them.  
Glass surfaces  
^ Glass surfaces can be cleaned using  
a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning  
agent designed specifically for use  
on glass.  
To avoid damaging the filters or the  
hob below, make sure you hold the  
filters securely at all times when  
handling them.  
Do not use:  
– sharp metal tools,  
– oven sprays.  
16  
 
Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the grease filters by hand  
^ After cleaning, leave the filters to dry  
on an absorbent surface before  
replacing them.  
^ Clean the filters with a soft nylon  
brush in a mild solution of hot water  
and a small amount of washing-up  
liquid.  
^ When removing the filters for  
cleaning, also clean off any residues  
of oil or fat from the now accessible  
housing to prevent the risk of these  
catching fire.  
Do not use undiluted washing up  
liquid.  
Do not use:  
When putting the grease filters back in  
position, ensure that the locking clips  
are facing down towards the hob.  
– cleaning agents containing  
descaling agents,  
– powder cleaners, cream cleaners or  
abrasive all-purpose cleaning  
agents,  
– oven sprays.  
Cleaning the grease filters in the  
dishwasher  
^ Place the filters as upright as  
possible in the lower basket, with the  
short sides upright, and wash on a  
65°C programme, ensuring the spray  
arm is not obstructed. If a Miele  
dishwasher is being used, select the  
Sensor wash programme.  
If a grease filter is inadvertently  
replaced upside down, insert a small  
screwdriver blade into the slit to  
disengage the clip.  
^ Use a mild dishwasher detergent.  
Depending on the cleaning agent  
used, cleaning the filters in a  
dishwasher can cause permanent  
discolouration to the surface.  
However, this will not affect the  
functioning of the filters in any way.  
17  
 
Cleaning and care  
Fitting and replacing the  
charcoal filter  
Replace the charcoal filter when it no  
longer absorbs kitchen odours  
effectively.  
If the cooker hood is connected for  
recirculation, a charcoal filter must be  
inserted in addition to the grease filters.  
This is designed to absorb cooking  
odours.  
It should, however, be replaced at least  
every 6 months.  
^ Used charcoal filters can be  
disposed of with the normal  
household waste.  
It is fitted in the canopy above the  
grease filters.  
New filters can be purchased from  
your Miele Dealer / Chartered Agent  
from the Miele Spare Parts  
Department or via the internet on  
See back cover for contact details,  
and "Technical data" for the model  
number of the filter.  
^ Before fitting or replacing a charcoal  
filter, the grease filters must first be  
taken out (see previous section for  
instructions on how to do this).  
^ Take the charcoal filter out of its  
packaging.  
^ Insert the charcoal filter into the back  
of the charcoal filter frame, then push  
up into the frame at the front.  
^ Replace the grease filters.

Cleaning and care  
Changing a halogen lamp  
^ Before any maintenance work is  
carried out, disconnect the cooker  
hood from the mains supply.  
Ensure that:  
– it is switched off at the isolator, or  
– it is switched off at the wall  
socket and the plug removed, or  
– the fuse from the fused spur  
connection unit is withdrawn, or  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or  
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in  
countries where this is applicable).  
,Exercise caution when changing  
halogen lamps. They get very hot  
during use and remain hot for some  
time after being switched off. Do not  
touch the surface directly when  
changing a lamp, as grease

– When deciding on the safety distance  
between the hob and cooker hood,  
please note that a distance of 650  
mm above electric cookers/hobs may  
be preferable to give more working  
space under the hood.  
– Account should also be taken of the  
height of the person who will be  
using the hood most often. The  
person should have sufficient space  
to work comfortably at the hob, and  
also be able to reach the hood  
controls with ease.  
– Please be aware that if positioned  
too high, extraction will be inefficient.  
– If you want the top of the cooker  
hood to be mounted flush with the  
ceiling, make sure there is adequate  
space below it for working. See

ensure that it is fitted correctly. Do  
not overtighten.  
Otherwise the exhaust stub could  
buckle and the non-return flap could  
become jammed.  
– All ducting, pipework and fittings  
must be of non-flammable materials.  
– The exhaust ducting should be as  
short and straight as possible.  
– To ensure efficient air extraction, the  
diameter of the exhaust ducting  
should not be less than 150 mm.  
If exhaust ducting with a diameter of  
less than 150 mm, or if flat ducting is  
used, the noise level of the cooker  
hood will increase and extraction will  
be less efficient.  
– Where ducting is horizontal, it must  
be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm  
per metre.  
This is to ensure that condensate  
cannot drain back into the cooker  
hood.  
Only reduce the diameter of the  
ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g.  
where narrower ducting has already  
been installed.  
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into  
the open air, the installation of a  
telescopic wall vent is recommended.  
– Only use wide radius bends. Tight  
bends reduce the air throughput of  
the cooker hood.  
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into  
a vent flue, the ducting must be  
directed in the flow direction of the  
flue.  
– Only use smooth pipes or flexible  
hoses made from non-flammable  
materials for extraction connection.

Connection for air extraction  
Important:  
If the exhaust ducting is to run through  
rooms, ceiling space etc. where there  
may be great variations in temperature  
between the different areas, the  
problem of condensation will need to  
be addressed. The exhaust ducting will  
need to be suitably insulated.  
Condensate trap  
(optional extra)  
In addition to insulating the exhaust  
ducting, we recommend that a suitable  
condensate trap is also installed to  
collect and evaporate any condensate  
which may occur. Condensate traps  
are available for C 125 mm or  
C 150 mm ducting.  
When installing a condensate trap,  
ensure that it is positioned vertically  
and if possible directly above the  
exhaust connection. The arrow on the  
housing indicates the direction of  
air-flow.

Electrical connection  
If the switch is not accessible after  
installation (depending on country), an  
additional means of disconnection must  
be provided for all poles.  
All electrical work should be  
undertaken by a suitably qualified  
and competent person in strict  
accordance with current national  
and local safety regulations  
(BS 7671 in the UK).  
For extra safety it is advisable to protect  
the appliance with a suitable residual  
current device (RCD). Contact a  
qualified electrician for advice.

Operation with Control module DSM 400  
The Miele DSM 400 Control module can  
If the control module is disconnected  
be used to combine the cooker hood  
with other components.  
in order to operate the cooker hood  
without the window contact switch  
(e.g. after moving house) the cooker  
hood electronics must be reset by a  
Miele service technician.  
It enables the following:  
Connection to a window contact

If adequate ventilation to the room can  
only be ensured by having a window  
open when the cooker hood is in use at  
the same time as a heating appliance  
which depends on the air from the  
same room, then the control module  
can be used to connect a window  
contact switch (not supplied) to the  
appliance.  
Potential free connection  
This enables an external appliance to  
be controlled according to the switch  
setting on the cooker hood fan.

intake fan, or opening a motorised  
inlet flap as soon as the cooker hood  
fan is switched on. It is important to  
ensure that the fan power is sufficient  
and that the air intake has a suitable  
cross-sectional diameter.  
When the window is closed the cooker  
hood fan cannot be switched on. The  
indicator lamp for the On/Off touch  
control on the cooker hood will flash.  
The same applies to operation with an
