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".
– sharp metal scrapers,
– oven spray.
,The halogen bulbs are very hot
when in use. They stay hot for some
time after turned off. Use caution,
danger of burns.
Special instructions for stainless
steel surfaces
Wet cleaning the hot bulbs will
cause damage.
Wait a few minutes after turning
them off before cleaning.
(not applicable to the controls)
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner
for stainless steel can be applied.
Cleaning the casing
Never use abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They
will damage the surface.
Special instructions for colored
casings (RAL)
(Special order)
^ All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned with a mild solution of
warm water and liquid dish soap
applied with a soft sponge.
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.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate the electronics and cause
damage.
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
14
Cleaning and care
Special instructions for glass
surfaces
Glass or stainless steel panels
and grease filters
^ Glass surfaces should be cleaned
with a normal glass cleaner.
The glass or stainless steel panels and
the reusable metal grease filters
remove solid particles from the vented
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc.) and
prevent soiling of the hood.
Stainless steel colored controls
These controls may become dis-
colored or damaged if not cleaned
regularly.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
on these controls.
Clean the panels and grease filters at
the latest when the grease filter symbol
[ of the timer button comes on.
The grease filters should be cleaned
every 3 - 4 weeks, as the collected
grease hardens over time and makes
cleaning more difficult.
,A dirty filter is a fire hazard!
^ Pull the front edge of the panels
down out of the lock, lower them
slightly, unhook them at the back,
and take them out.
Support the panel so that it does not
fall and damage the cooktop.
15
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the grease filters and
panels in the dishwasher
^ Place the filters vertically in the lower
basket, making sure that the spray
arm is not blocked.
Use a wash program with a max.
temperature of 150°F (65°C). In a
Miele dishwasher use the "Normal"
program.
Use the recommended amount of
dishwasher detergent. Overuse could
destroy the filter.
^ Open the grease filter lock, lower the
grease filter slightly, unhook it at the
back, and take it out.
Depending on the detergent,
cleaning the grease filters in a
dishwasher may cause permanent
discoloration of the filter surface.
Filter performance will not be
affected by this discoloration.
Support the grease filter so that it
does not fall and damage the
cooktop.
Cleaning the panels by hand
^ After cleaning, place the filters on a
towel to dry.
^ Follow the instructions under
"Cleaning the casing".
^ While the panels and the filters are
removed, clean any dirt or grease
from the casing parts that are
accessible. This reduces the risk of
fire.
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
^ Use a scrub brush with a solution of
warm water and mild dish soap.
Do not use the pure detergent,
aggressive all purpose cleaners,
oven sprays, abrasive cleaning
agents or limescale removers. They
could damage the filter.
16
Cleaning and care
^ When reinstalling the grease filters,
make sure that the locking clips are
facing down.
Resetting the grease filter timer
After cleaning, reset the grease filter
timer.
^ With the fan running, press and hold
the grease filter button l— for
approx. 3 seconds, until only the 1 is

must be used in addition to the grease
filters. It is designed to absorb cooking
odors.
It is installed in the canopy above the
grease filters.
Replace the odor-free filter when:
– the odor-free filter symbol — of the
filter button comes on,
or
– when the filter no longer absorbs
odors efficiently.
Replacement active charcoal filters
can be ordered from Miele.
However, it should be changed at least
every 6 months.
^ To install or replace the odo-freer
filter, the grease filters must first be
removed as described in the
previous pages.
Used odor filters may be discarded

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
"IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Follow all local building
codes when installing the hood.
– Make sure all connections are
secure.
– 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.
32
Air extraction
– 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.
Important
If the ductwork runs through rooms,
ceilings, garages, etc. where
temperature variations exist, it may
need to be insulated to reduce
condensation.

Air extraction
Reducing Collar
Condensate trap
(optional accessory)
(optional accessory)
If you would like to reduce the
environmental impact of your ventilation
system by limiting the CFM output the
Reducing Collar can be installed.
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.
It reduces the air flow to less than
400 CFM.
Check local building codes for
max. CFM requirements.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust outlet.
^ Push the Reducing Collar on the
exhaust port of the fan.
^ Push the exhaust hose over it.
^ Fix both with a hose clamp.
