Frequently Asked Questions - DA 5496 W MIELE

How do I install the Miele DA 5496 W range hood?
Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted at least 65 cm above gas hobs and 50 cm above electric hobs. Follow the installation template and secure to a solid wall. Ducting must be as short as possible with minimal bends.
How often should I clean the grease filter?
The stainless steel grease filter should be cleaned every 4-6 weeks, or when the filter saturation indicator lights up. It can be washed in a dishwasher on a gentle cycle. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
How do I replace the charcoal filter?
The charcoal filter is used in recirculation mode. It should be replaced every 4-6 months. To replace, open the grease filter, remove the old charcoal filter, and insert the new one (part number Miele-specific). Close the grease filter.
What is the maximum duct length for this hood?
For optimal performance, keep duct length under 5 meters with a diameter of 150 mm. Extending beyond may reduce airflow. Use smooth pipes and avoid sharp bends.
How do I change the light bulbs?
First, disconnect power. Remove the bulb cover by gently prying it open. Replace the halogen bulb (20W, G4 base) with a new one. Avoid touching the bulb with bare hands. Reattach the cover.
Why is my range hood making excessive noise?
Excessive noise may be due to a clogged grease filter, loose installation, or duct blockages. Check and clean the filter. Ensure the hood is securely mounted. If noise persists, contact Miele service.
Can I use this hood without ducting (recirculation mode)?
Yes, the DA 5496 W can be used in recirculation mode with the addition of a charcoal filter. This mode filters odors and returns air to the kitchen. Ensure the charcoal filter is installed and replaced regularly.
How do I reset the filter saturation indicator?
After cleaning or replacing the filters, press and hold the filter reset button (usually marked with a filter symbol) for 3-5 seconds until the indicator light turns off. Refer to your manual for exact procedure.
What should I do if the hood does not start?

Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room

Diagram illustrating a fire safety system with labeled components and warning symbol

da:1474b

⚠ 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, 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, 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.

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 simultaneously, 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 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 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 heating appliance which depends on the room air at the same time is no cause for concern.

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 excessive 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.

Do not use the cooker hood without the filters in place. This way you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance and hindering its smooth operation.
The filters should be regularly cleaned or changed as appropriate. Saturated filters are a fire hazard.
The cooker hood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising from the hob.

Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the cooker hood has cooled down.

Correct installation

▶ Refer to the cooker or hob manufacturer's instructions as to whether a cooker hood may be operated above the cooker/hob.
▶ Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid fuel stoves.
Insufficient distance between the cooker or hob and the cooker hood can result in damage to the hood.

The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood given in the "Installation" section must be maintained, unless the hob manufacturer states that a greater distance is required.

If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the cooker hood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the cooker hood, select the greater distance.

The distances given in "Installation" must be observed when fitting the cooker hood.
Exhaust ducting must be of non-inflammable material. Suitable material is available from Miele specialist dealers or the Miele Spares Dept.
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or flue which is in use. Neither should it be connected to ducting which ventilates rooms with fireplaces.

If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation duct no longer used for other purposes, seek professional advice.

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Accessories

▶ Only use genuine original Miele accessories with this appliance. Using accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also 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.

Operation with an external motor

(...EXT model cooker hoods)

MIELE DA 5496 W - Operation with an external motor - 1

natural_image Simple line drawing of a house with a chimney and airflow path (no text or symbols)

dai0432c

Cooker hoods set up for operation with an external motor have to be connected to a Miele external motor located in a suitable position outside the room in which the cooker hood is installed. The external motor is linked to the cooker hood via a connection cable and then operated using the controls on the cooker hood.

■ Press the On/Off control ①.

The fan will switch on at level 2. The ① symbol and 2 will light up in the power level display.

Selecting the power level

For light to heavy cooking vapours and odours, select from power levels 1 to 3.

When frying or cooking food with a very strong aroma, select the Intensive setting IS.

■ For a lower power level, press the "-" control, or "+" for a higher level.

Automatic switch-off of the Intensive setting

You can set the Intensive setting so that it only runs for 10 minutes before reverting automatically to level 3.

■ To set this option, both the fan and the hob lighting must be switched off.
■ Press the "-" and "+" controls at the same time for approx. 10 seconds, until the 1 lights up.
■ Then press in turn,

- the lighting control ⚙,

- the "—" control and then

- the lighting control 🧑 again.

If 1 and IS flash Automatic switch-off is not activated.

■ To activate it press the "+" control.
If 1 and IS are lit up Automatic switch-off is activated.
■ To deactivate it press the "—" control.
■ Use the On/Off control ① to confirm your choice of setting. If you do not confirm within 4 minutes, the cooker hood will revert to the old setting.

■ Use the On/Off control ① to switch the fan off.

The ① symbol will go out.

Switching the hob lighting on / off

The hob lighting can be switched on and off independently of the fan.

■ To do this, press ⚙️.

The ⚙ symbol will light up when the hob lighting is switched on.

Safety switch-off

Should the cooker hood be left on, the fan will switch off automatically after 10 hours. The lighting will remain on.

■ Pressing the On/Off control will switch the fan back on again.

This cooker hood operates very efficiently and economically. The following will help you to save even more energy when using it:

- Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the kitchen when cooking. In extraction mode, if there is insufficient air flow the cooker hood cannot operate efficiently and this causes increased operating noise levels.

- Always cook with the lowest possible setting. This produces fewer cooking vapours, so you can use a lower cooker hood power level and therefore benefit from reduced energy consumption.

- Check the power level selected on the cooker hood. A lower power level is generally sufficient for the majority of cooking. Only use the intensive setting when necessary.

- When a large volume of cooking vapours are being produced, switch to a high power level in good time. This is more efficient than operating the cooker hood for longer to try to capture cooking vapours which have already been distributed throughout the kitchen.

- Make sure that you switch the cooker hood off after use.

- Clean or change the filters at regular intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce performance, increase the risk of fire and are unhygienic.

Casing

General information

The surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasion. Please observe the following cleaning instructions.

■ All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned using hot water with a small amount of washing-up liquid applied with a well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.

Do not let moisture get into the cooker hood.

Only use a damp cloth when cleaning. This is particularly important around the controls.

■ After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.

Do not use:

  • cleaning agents containing soda, acids, chlorides or solvents,
  • abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners or cream cleaners and abrasive sponges, as well as pot scourers or sponges which have been used previously with abrasive cleaning agents. These will damage the surface material.

Important for appliances with stainless steel surfaces

(This information does not apply to the controls).

■ Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel.
- To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel (available from Miele) can also be used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

Important for RAL coloured housing

(Special order finish)

■ Please observe the general notes on cleaning earlier in this section.

It is very difficult to clean this type of surface without causing minor marks to the surface material. This can become particularly noticeable depending on the type of lighting in the kitchen.

Important for the controls

Do not leave soiling on the controls for any length of time.

Otherwise they may suffer discolouration or damage.

Remove soiling straight away.

■ Please observe the general notes on cleaning earlier in this section.

Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the controls.

Important for appliances with glass surfaces

■ Glass surfaces can be cleaned using a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on glass.

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.

⚠️ An oversaturated filter is a fire hazard.

Cleaning interval

The grease filters should be cleaned regularly (at least every 3 - 4 weeks) to avoid a build-up of grease.

Removing a grease filter

The grease filter can fall out when you are handling it.

This can result in damage to the filter and the hob below.

Make sure you hold the filter securely at all times when handling it.

MIELE DA 5496 W - Removing a grease filter - 1

natural_image Diagram of a grid-patterned rectangular structure with directional arrows indicating flow or movement (no text or symbols)

■ To take out a grease filter, release the locking clip on the filter, lower the filter approx. 45°, unhook it at the back and remove it.

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

■ Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and a small amount of washing-up liquid. Do not use "neat" washing up liquid.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause damage to the surface of the filters if used regularly.

Do not use:

  • cleaning agents containing descaling agents
  • powder cleaners, cream cleaners
    – aggressive multi-purpose cleaning agents or spray cleaners for grease
  • 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, ensuring the spray arm is not obstructed.
■ Use a proprietary household dishwasher detergent.
■ Select a dishwasher programme with a wash temperature between 50°C and 65°C.

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.

After cleaning

■ After cleaning, leave the filters to dry on an absorbent surface before replacing them.
■ 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.
■ Replace the grease filters, making sure that the locking clips are facing down towards the hob.

Safety distance between hob and cooker hood (S)

When planning the installation height of your cooker hood, the minimum safety distance between the top of a cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood is as follows, unless a greater distance is specified by the manufacturer of your cooking appliance.

See "Warning and Safety" instructions for further information.

Cooking appliance Minimum distance S
Electric hob 450 mm
Electric grill, deep fat fryer (electric) 650 mm
Multi-burner gas hob,total output ≤ 12.6 kW, no burner > 4.5 kW650 mm

Single burner gas hob, output ≤ 6 kW. 650 mm
Single burner gas hob, output > 6 kW and ≤ 8.1 kW. 760 mmmm
Single burner gas hob, output > 8.1 kW Not possible

Installation recommendations

  • 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. They should have sufficient space to work comfortably at the hob, and be able to reach the hood controls with ease.
  • Please be aware that if positioned too high, extraction will be inefficient.
  • To achieve optimum vapour extraction, the cooker hood must cover the hob. It should be positioned centrally over the hob, not to the side of it.
  • The hob should be no wider than the cooker hood, and if possible, it should be narrower.
  • The installation area must be easily accessible. The cooker hood should be easily accessible and easy to dismantle in the event that service is required. This should be taken into consideration when planning the position of cupboards, shelves, ceilings or features in the vicinity of the cooker hood.

Drilling diagram for wall mounting

■ Please follow the directions given in the installation instructions supplied for drilling.

■ For pre-installation of a back wall where the holes have to be pre-drilled, please refer to the drilling distances in the drawing above (screws ∅ 5 mm).

*The dimension for the middle wall bracket is variable. It will depend on the position of the wall vent and the socket. It should be set as low as possible.

⚠️ If this cooker hood is used at the same time as a heating appliance that relies on oxygen from the same room there is a risk in certain circumstances of toxic fumes building up.

It is essential that the "Warning and Safety" instructions are observed. The cooker hood should be installed according to local and national building regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary.

■ Use smooth or flexible ducting made from approved non-flammable materials for exhaust ducting.
■ When using an external motor, make sure that the exhaust ducting is sufficiently rigid. The external motor can cause an underpressure which can result in the exhaust ducting distorting.
■ To achieve the most efficient air extraction with the lowest noise levels, please note the following:
- To ensure efficient air extraction, the diameter of the exhaust ducting should not be less than 150 mm.
- If flat ducting is being used, the cross section must not be smaller than the cross sectional area of the exhaust socket.
- The exhaust ducting should be as short and straight as possible.
- Only use wide radius bends.
- The exhaust ducting must not be kinked or compressed.

- Ensure that all connections are strong and airtight.

Remember that any constriction of the air flow will reduce extraction performance and increase operating noise.

If the exhaust is ducted through an outside wall, a telescopic wall vent or a roof vent (available as an optional accessory) is recommended.

■ If the exhaust air is to be ducted into a flue, the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.
■ When 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 appliance.
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
Ø150 140 Ø185 Ø125 200 Ø185 dai1585

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 for 125 mm or 150 mm ducting are available as optional accessories.

■ When installing a condensate trap, ensure that it is positioned vertically and if possible directly above the exhaust socket.

The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of air-flow.

A condensate trap is integrated in cooker hoods which are designed for connection to an external motor (model.....EXT).

Silencer
Ø150 Ø215 Ø150 250 310 dai2003

To achieve even further reductions in noise levels, a special silencer (optional accessory) can be fitted in the ducting system.

Extraction mode
dai3286a

The silencer not only reduces noise from the motor outside the house, but also sounds from outside (e.g. traffic noise). For this reason the silencer must be positioned as close as possible to the ducting exit ①.

Recirculation mode

2 da3266b

The silencer needs to be positioned between the exhaust socket and the directional unit ②. Ensure there is adequate space for fitting it.

To minimise noise from the motor in the kitchen, the silencer should be positioned in front of the external motor ③ if possible, or, if the ducting is long, above the exhaust socket on the cooker hood ④. In the case of an external motor located inside the house, fitting a silencer behind the external motor ⑤ reduces the noise of the motor outside the house.

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). Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous, for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation or repair work has been carried out. Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

The connection data is given on the data plate. This is visible when the grease filters have been removed. Ensure that this data matches the household mains supply.

Connection of this appliance should be made via a suitable isolator or a double pole fused spur connection unit which complies with national and local safety regulations and the On-Off switch should be easily accessible after the appliance has been built in. When switched off there must be an all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the switch (including switch, fuses and relays according to EN 60335).

If the switch is not accessible after installation (depending on country), an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles.

For extra safety it is advisable to protect the appliance with a suitable residual current device (RCD). Contact a qualified electrician for advice.
