Stainless steel housing
General information
Unsuitable cleaning agents can damage the surfaces and control elements.
Do not use any cleaning agents containing soda, acid, chloride, or solvent.
Do not use any 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
⚠️ Moisture in the ventilation hood can cause damage.
Make sure that water does not get into the ventilation hood.
■ Clean all surfaces and control buttons using a small amount of warm water and liquid dish soap. Apply with a sponge cloth.
■ After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.
Important information for appliances with stainless steel surfaces
This information does not apply to the control buttons.
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel.
To prevent the surfaces from quickly becoming dirty again, we recommend treating them with a stainless steel care product (available from Miele).
Important information for appliances with lacquered casing
(Customization on request)
Minor scratches on the surface are inevitable when cleaning the casing; they may be visible depending on the lighting in the kitchen.
Important information for the controls
If soiling is not removed promptly, it could cause the control elements to alter or discolor.
Remove soiling immediately.
The surface of the control elements can become damaged if they are cleaned using stainless steel cleaning agents.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the control elements.
Grease filters
Risk of fire
Oversaturated grease filters are a fire hazard.
Clean the grease filters at regular intervals.
The re-usable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen vapors, preventing soiling of the ventilation hood.
The grease filters must be cleaned at regular intervals.
Heavily soiled grease filters hinder air extraction and will lead to increased levels of soiling in the ventilation hood and in the kitchen.
Cleaning intervals
Accumulated grease solidifies over a longer period of time and makes cleaning more difficult. The grease filters should therefore be cleaned every 3 to 4 weeks.
Removing the grease filters
When handling the grease filter, reful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter and the cooktop below.
Make sure you hold the filter securely at all times when handling it.
■ To remove a grease filter, release the locking clip. Then, open the filter to a 45^ angle, unhook it, and remove it from the hood.
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
■ Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and dish soap. Do not use undiluted dish soap.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage to the filter surfaces if used regularly. Do not use any of the following:
- Lime removers
- Abrasive powders or abrasive liquids
- Aggressive all-purpose cleaners and degreaser sprays
- Oven sprays
Cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher
■ Place the grease filters upright or slightly inclined in the lower basket. Ensure the spray arm is not obstructed.
■ Use a commonly available household dishwashing detergent.
In a Miele dishwasher use the "Normal" program.
Depending on the detergent used, cleaning the filters in a dishwasher may cause the inside filter surfaces to become discolored. However, this will not affect the functioning of the grease filters in any way.
After cleaning
■ After cleaning, leave the filters on an absorbent surface to dry.
■ When removing the filters for cleaning, also clean off any accessible oil or fat buildup from the housing. Doing so will prevent a fire hazard.
■ Reinstall the grease filters. When inserting the filters, make sure that the locking clip is facing down.
■ If the filters have been installed incorrectly, you can insert a small screwdriver into the slit to disengage the locking clip.
Replacing the grease filter
Regular usage and cleaning can cause the filter surfaces to become worn.
If you identify any damage, replace the grease filters.

Installation recommendations
- A distance of at least 26" (660 mm) is recommended above electric cooktops to provide more workspace and easier cooking under the hood.
- When selecting an installation height, always take the user height into consideration. Users should have ample space to work comfortably on the cooktop and reach the ventilation hood controls with ease.
- Please note that the greater the distance from the cooktop, the less effective the hood is at drawing in the cooking vapors.
- To achieve optimum vapor extraction, the hood must be centered over the cooktop, not to the side.
- The cooktop should be no wider than the hood. Preferably, it should be narrower for better extraction.
- The mounting area must be easily accessible. The ventilation hood should be easy to reach and disassemble in case a service call is necessary. This should be taken into consideration when planning the position of cabinetry, shelves, ceilings or decorative elements in the vicinity of the ventilation hood.
Drilling diagram for wall mounting
■ When drilling, please follow the directions contained on the accompanying installation sheet.
■ When installing a custom back wall with pre-drilled holes, please refer to the drilling distances in the drawing above (screws ^3/_16 " (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.
Plywood backing
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. 12 " (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.
If plywood backing is not needed, proceed to the included "Installation diagram".
To install a plywood backing
■ Determine and mark the location of the retaining plate ① 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.
■ Find the studs ② to the left and right of the mounting location by tapping the wall or using a stud finder.
■ 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 ③ of a matching thickness (min. 12 " (13 mm) thick). Tape the joints and refinish the wall.
■ Proceed to the enclosed “Installation diagram” to complete the installation.
Air venting
WARNING: 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.
Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or in attics, crawl spaces or garages.
To reduce the risk of fire, only use metal ductwork.
Please read and follow the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of personal injury. Follow all local building codes when installing the hood.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible ducting made from approved non-flammable materials for ducting.
To achieve the most efficient air throughput with the lowest noise levels, please note the following:
- The diameter of the vent ducting must not be smaller than the cross-section of the vent collar (see "Appliance dimensions"). This applies in particular when using flat ducting.
- The ducting should be as short and straight as possible.
- Only use wide radius bends.
-
The ducting must not be kinked or compressed.
-
All connections must be strong and airtight.
- If the ducting has flaps, these must be opened whenever the ventilation hood is switched on.
Any constriction of the air throughput will reduce extraction performance and increase operating noise.
Ventilation stack
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into a flue, the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.
If the flue is used by several ventilation units, the cross-section of the flue must be large enough.
Non-return flap
■ Use a non-return flap in the vent system.
A non-return flap ensures that when the ventilation hood is not in operation, the duct is closed to prevent unwanted exchange of room air and outside air.
If the exhaust is ducted through an outside wall, a Miele wall vent or roof vent (available as an optional accessory) is recommended. Both of these have a built-in non-return flap.
If the on-site vent system does not have a non-return flap, one is supplied with the ventilation hood.
The non-return flap is installed in the exhaust socket of the fan.
Condensate
If the ducting is to run through cool rooms or ceiling space, for example, the significant variations in temperature between the different areas can cause condensate to form. Insulate the ducting to reduce temperature variations.
If the ducting is to be laid horizontally, it must be laid with a downwards sloping gradient of at least 3/8'' (1 cm) per meter. This is to ensure that condensate cannot drain back into the ventilation hood.
In addition to insulating the ducting, it is advisable to also install a condensate trap for collecting and evaporating any potential condensate.
Condensate traps for 5" (125 mm) or 6" (150 mm) diameter ducting are available as optional accessories.
When installing a condensate trap, ensure that it is positioned vertically and as closely as possible to the ventilation hood above the exhaust vent. The arrow on the casing indicates the direction of airflow.
Miele will not accept warranty claims for any functional defects or damage caused by inadequate ducting.
Reducing Collar
(optional accessory)

It reduces the air flow to less than 400 CFM. Check local building codes for max. CFM requirements.
■ Push the Reducing Collar on the exhaust port of the blower.
■ Push the exhaust hose over it.
■ Secure both with a hose clamp.
