Functional description  
The hood offers two modes of  
operation:  
Air extraction  
Recirculation mode  
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the  
grease filters and directed outside.  
Air is drawn through the grease filters  
and an active charcoal filter. The  
filtered air is then recirculated back into  
the kitchen through a vent at the top of  
the hood’s chimney.  
The hood comes equipped with a  
non-return flap. This flap automatically  
closes when the hood is turned off so  
that no exchange of outside air and  
room air can occur. When the hood is  
turned on, the air pressure of the  
exhaust fan automatically opens the  
flap blowing the inside air and cooking  
odors outside.  
The recirculation mode requires an  
install kit and charcoal filter which are  
optional accessories.  
Before using the hood in  
recirculation mode, ensure that the  
active charcoal filter is in place, see  
"Cleaning and care".

Cleaning and Care  
,WARNING  
Avoid:  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR  
INJURY TO PERSONS,  
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:  
– cleaning agents containing soda,  
acids or chlorides,  
– abrasive cleaning agents  
e.g. powder or cream cleansers,  
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers  
or sponges which have been  
previously used with abrasive  
cleaning agents.  
Before cleaning or servicing the  
hood, disconnect it from the power  
supply, see "Important Safety  
Instructions".  
These will damage the surface.  
The following instructions for cleaning  
"Stainless steel" surfaces and "Stainless  
steel colored controls" should be  
followed in addition to the general  
"Cleaning the casing" instructions.  
,The halogen bulbs are very hot  
when in use. They stay hot for some  
time after turned off. Use caution,  
danger of burns.  
Wet cleaning the hot bulbs will  
cause damage.  
Special instructions for stainless  
steel surfaces  
Wait a few minutes after turning  
them off before cleaning.  
(not applicable to the controls)  
Cleaning the casing  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned  
using a non-abrasive stainless steel  
cleaner.  
Never use abrasive cleaners,  
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic  
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They  
will damage the surface.  
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner  
for stainless steel can be applied.  
^ All external surfaces and controls can  
be cleaned with a mild solution of  
warm water and liquid dish soap  
applied with a soft sponge.  
Special instructions for colored  
casings (RAL)  
(Special order)  
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  
colors and if there is halogen lighting in  
the kitchen.

aggressive all purpose cleaners,  
oven sprays, abrasive cleaning  
agents or limescale removers. They  
could damage the filter.  
^ In a dishwasher: place the filter  
vertically in the lower basket, making  
sure that the spray arm is not  
blocked.  
^ If the filters are incorrectly installed,  
insert a small screwdriver into the slit  
along its edge to disengage it from  
the casing.  
Use a wash program with a max.  
temperature of 150°F (65°C). In a  
Miele dishwasher use the "Normal"  
program.  
Resetting the grease filter timer  
Use the recommended amount of  
dishwasher detergent. Overuse could  
destroy the filter.  
After cleaning, reset the grease filter  
timer.  
^ With the fan running, press and hold  
the grease filter button lfor  
approx. 3 seconds, until only the 1 is

– If several gas surfaces are installed under the hood, the total output must be  
considered when determining the minimum safety distance.  
– Be sure to follow the minimum safety distances given by the gas cooktop  
manufacturer to easily flammable materials e.g. upper cabinets.  
– If local building codes require a greater safety distance, follow their requirement.  
– If there is more than one appliance beneath the hood and they have different  
minimum safety distances always select the greater distance.  
See "Important Safety Instructions" for further information.  
– To ensure free access to work under the ventilation hood, a distance of a  
minimum of 26" (660 mm) above the electric cooktop is also recommended.  
– Take the user's body height into consideration when selecting the installation  
height. Adequate work space at the cooktop and optimal operation of the  
ventilation system should be ensured.  
– However, the greater the distance from the cooktop, the less effectively cooking  
odors are drawn in.  
– If the top of the hood will be mounted flush to the ceiling, regard the possible  
unit height when selecting the installation height.

To prepare a backing plate, the  
spacings for the 5 mm screws need to  
be drilled as shown.  
If the ventilation hood will be mounted  
directly to the wall, follow the additional  
instructions given in the included  
"Installation diagram".  
29  
 
Plywood backing  
^ Find the studs to the left and right of  
the mounting location by tapping the  
wall or using a stud finder.  
The majority of the weight of the  
installed ventilation system will be  
supported by the lower retaining  
plate. It must be firmly attached to  
the stud framing behind the drywall.  
If studs are not available in the  
required locations, a plywood  
backing (min. ½" (13 mm) thick)  
spanning at least two studs must be  
installed. Failure to adequately  
support the weight as stated may  
result in the ventilation system falling  
off the wall, causing personal injury  
and property damage.  
^ Mark a vertical cutting line along the  
center of each stud.  
,CAUTION  
When cutting or drilling into the wall  
or ceiling, do not damage electrical  
wiring and other hidden utilities.  
^ Remove the drywall between the  
cutting lines and replace it with  
plywood of a matching thickness  
(min. ½" (13 mm) thick). Tape the  
joints and refinish the wall.  
(If plywood backing is not needed,  
proceed to the included "Installation  
diagram".)  
^ Proceed to the enclosed "Installation  
diagram" to complete the installation.  
To install a plywood backing  
^ Determine and mark the location of  
the retaining plate for the canopy as  
outlined on the "Installation diagram".  
^ Make a cutting line 3" (76 mm) above  
and 3" (76 mm) below the outline of  
the retaining plate.

Dismantling  
Before installation read the  
information in the "Dimensions" and "  
Important Safety Instruction"  
chapters.  
If the hood needs to be disassembled,  
follow the instructions on the  
"Installation diagram" in the reverse  
order.  
Under certain conditions, there is a  
danger of poisonous fumes by when  
the ventilation system and a furnace  
drawing interior air run at the same  
time.  
A lever is enclosed for easier removal  
of the chimney extension.

Air extraction  
Exhaust ducting and connections  
,WARNING  
Use smooth or flexible pipework made  
from approved non-flammable  
materials for exhaust ducting.  
Danger of toxic fumes.  
Gas cooking appliances release  
carbon monoxide that can be  
harmful or fatal if inhaled.  
To reduce the risk of fire and to  
properly exhaust air, the exhaust  
gases extracted by the hood  
should be vented outside of the  
building only.  
To achieve the most efficient air  
extraction and quietest noise levels,  
consider the following:  
– The diameter of the ductwork should  
not be less than 6" (150 mm).  
– If flat ducting is used, the cross  
section must not be smaller than the  
cross section of the ventilation  
exhaust.  
Do not vent exhaust air into  
spaces within walls or ceilings or  
in attics, crawl spaces or garages.  
– The ducting should be as short and  
straight as possible.  
– Use ductwork with a wide radius.  
To reduce the risk of fire, only use  
metal ductwork.  
– The exhaust duct must not be bent  
or compressed.  
Please read and follow the  
– Make sure all connections are  
secure.  
"IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of  
personal injury. Follow all local building  
codes when installing the hood.  
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it  
must slope away from the hood at  
least 1/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to  
prevent condensation dripping into  
the appliance.  
– If the exhaust is ducted through an  
outside wall, a Telescopic Wall Vent  
can be used.  
34  
 
Air extraction  
Condensate trap  
optional accessory  
– If the exhaust is ducted into an  
inactive flue, the air must be expelled  
parallel to the flow direction of the  
flue.  
Never connect an exhaust hood to  
an active chimney, dryer vent, flue,  
or room venting ductwork. Seek  
professional advice before  
connecting an exhaust hood vent to  
an existing, inactive chimney or vent  
flue.  
In some cases, a condensate trap may  
also be required to collect and  
evaporate any condensate which may  
occur. This optional accessory is  
available for ducts 5" (125 mm) and 6"  
(150 mm) in diameter.  
Important  
If the ductwork runs through rooms,  
ceilings, garages, etc. where  
temperature variations exist, it may  
need to be insulated to reduce  
condensation.  
When installing a condensate trap,  
ensure that it is positioned vertically  
and if possible directly above the  
exhaust outlet.
