Con@ctivity 2.0 function
Automatic control
This hood features a communication function which enables the automatic control of the hood based on the operational status of a Miele induction cooktop.

To enable the communication function, the cooktop must be equipped with the corresponding Con@ctivity 2.0 stick ①.
Please refer to the installation instructions for the Con@ctivity 2.0 stick to determine whether connection to your cooktop is possible.
There must be radio contact between the cooktop and the hood for you to be able to use the Con@ctivity 2.0 function (see “Activating Con@ctivity 2.0”).
The cooktop transmits information about its operational status to the hood using a radio signal.
- When a burner is turned on, the cooktop lighting on the hood turns on automatically. After a brief delay, the ventilation hood fan also comes on.
- During cooking, the hood automatically selects the fan level based on the number of burners in operation and their power levels.
- Once you have turned off the cooktop, the fan and the lighting will turn off automatically after a predetermined delay.
Detailed information about this function can be found under "Operation."
Disposal of the packing material
The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Do not dispose of this appliance with your household waste.
Old appliances may contain materials that can be recycled. Please contact your local recycling authority about the possibility of recycling these materials.
Before discarding an old appliance ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. Unplug it from the outlet, cut off its power cord and remove any doors to prevent hazards.
When Con@ctivity 2.0 is active, the hood always operates in Automatic mode (see “Activating Con@ctivity 2.0”).
See “Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0” for information on manually operating the hood.
Cooking with Con@ctivity 2.0 (Automatic mode)
■ Turn on a burner to the desired power setting.
Overhead cooktop lighting.
After a few seconds, the fan will come on, briefly operating at power level 2 before immediately switching to level 1.
The hood selects the fan level automatically during cooking.
This level is determined by the total output of the cooktop, i.e. the number of burners in operation and the power settings selected.
■ If you select a higher power setting on the cooktop or switch on multiple burners, the hood will switch to a higher fan level.
■ If you select a lower power setting on the cooktop or turn off a burner, the hood will accordingly switch to a lower fan level.




Examples for fan levels 1 to 4
Reaction time
Changing the power setting on the cooktop does not lead to an immediate increase or decrease in cooking vapors. For this reason, the hood reacts with a slight delay.
Delays can also result from the fact that the cooktop transmits the information to the hood in intervals.
The reaction time can vary from a few seconds to a couple of minutes.
Cooking process
If, for example, you switch on a burner at the highest power setting to heat cookware in preparation for searing and then reduce the power level after approx. 60 to 90 seconds, a cooking process is recognized.
The hood turns on automatically and, after the cooktop power level has been reduced, switches back to fan level 3, where it remains for approx. 5 minutes.
After this, the fan level is once again determined by the Con@ctivity function.
■ You can also manually select a different fan level before then.
Switching off
■ Turn off all burners.
Over the next few minutes, the ventilation hood blower setting will decrease one level at a time until the hood eventually turns off.
This helps to neutralize any lingering vapors and odors in the air.
- From the Booster setting, the blower switches immediately to level 3.
- From level 3, it will switch to level 2 after approx. 1 minute.
- From level 2, it will switch to level 1 after 2 minutes.
- After 2 minutes at level 1, the blower automatically turns off.
- After another 30 seconds, the overhead lighting turns off.
The cooking process is then finished.
Temporarily exiting Automatic mode
To temporarily exit the Automatic mode when cooking:
■ Manually select a different fan level, or
■ Manually turn the hood off, or
■ Activate the Delayed shut down function ^5 on the ventilation hood. The fan turns off after the delay time selected, and the lighting will remain on.
The ventilation hood functions can now be operated manually (see “Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0”).
Resuming Automatic mode
The ventilation hood resumes Automatic mode:
■ If the ventilation hood has not been used for a period of approx.
5 minutes after the manual selection of a fan level, or
■ If the manually selected fan level once again matches the automatic setting, or
■ If the ventilation hood fan and the cooktop have been turned off for at least 30 seconds.
Automatic mode will resume the next time the cooktop is turned on.
If you wish to manually operate the ventilation hood for a complete cooking process, turn on the ventilation hood fan before turning on the cooktop. If the ventilation hood and the cooktop have been turned off for at least 30 seconds after you have finished cooking, Automatic mode will resume the next time the cooktop is turned on.
Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0 (Manual mode)
The hood can be operated manually if:
- The Con@ctivity 2.0 function is not activated.
- You have temporarily deactivated the Con@ctivity 2.0 function (see "Temporarily exiting Automatic mode").

Power levels 1 to 3 are available for light to heavy cooking vapors and odors.
For strong vapors and odors that are temporarily produced when cooking, e.g., during searing, select the B Booster setting.
■ Select the power level you want by pressing the — or + control.
Reducing power down from the Booster setting
If power management is activated (default setting), the blower automatically switches back to level 3 after 5 minutes.
Selecting the delayed shutdown time
It is advisable to run the blower for a few minutes after cooking has finished. This helps to neutralize any lingering vapors and odors in the air.
It also reduces the risk of odors and residues accumulating in the ventilation hood.
The delayed shutdown function enables the blower to continue running for a pre-determined time before switching itself off automatically.
■ After you have finished cooking, press the delayed shutdown control ^5 while the blower is still running.
- Once: blower turns off after 5 minutes (5 lights up).

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

■ 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)).
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. 1/2" (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, you can purchase one as an optional accessory.
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)

natural_image
Technical illustration of a conical device with internal components and mounting holes, shown from top and side views (no text or symbols)If you would like to reduce the environmental impact of your ventilation system by limiting the CFM output the Reducing Collar can be installed. 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.
