Danger of toxic fumes!

Great care should be taken when using the rangehood in the same room or the same area of the house as another heating appliance that depends on the air from the room.

Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. They include gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops and ovens.

The rangehood draws in air from the kitchen and from neighbouring rooms. This applies to the following modes of operation:

• extraction mode,
• extraction mode with an external motor,
• recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the room.

If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion.

Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.

Risk of death!

In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by a heating appliance from being drawn back into the room, when the rangehood and the heater are both operated simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 Pa) is the maximum permissible.

Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. The diameter of the inlet openings must enable sufficient ventilation. 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 should be sought.

If the rangehood is being operated in recirculation mode, whereby the air is redirected into the room in which it is installed, the above restrictions do not apply.

Correct use

▶ Never use an open flame beneath the rangehood. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame.
When switched on, the rangehood could draw flames into the filter. Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.

The rangehood can become damaged when exposed to excessive heat.

• When using the rangehood over a gas cooktop, 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 rangehood on when a cooking zone is in use, otherwise condensation may collect in the rangehood, which could cause corrosion.

▶ Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the rangehood.

When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc., do not leave the pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an open grill unattended when grilling.

Do not use the rangehood 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 rangehood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising from the cooktop.

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

Correct installation

▶ Refer to the cooktop manufacturer's instructions as to whether a rangehood may be operated above the cooktop.
▶ Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solid fuel stoves.
An insufficient safety distance between the stovetop and the rangehood can result in damage to the rangehood.

The minimum safety distances between the top of the stovetop and the bottom of the rangehood given in the “Installation” section of this booklet must be observed, unless the stovetop manufacturer states that a greater safety distance is required.

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

The distances given in “Installation” must be observed when fitting the rangehood.
All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable material. These can be obtained from builders' merchants.
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue which is in current use for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. 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

There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out as described in these operating instructions.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the machine warranty.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Accessories

▶ Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally 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. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Operation with an external motor

(...EXT model rangehoods.

...EXT models are only available in selected countries.)

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

Rangehoods 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 rangehood is installed. The external motor is linked to the rangehood via a control cable and then operated using the controls on the rangehood.

■ Pull out the deflector plate. For optimum extraction with minimum noise levels, always pull the deflector plate out to its full extent.

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

Selecting a power setting

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

For short periods of cooking food with intensive vapours and a strong aroma, e.g. when searing meat, select Booster setting B.

■ Select the power level you want by pressing the — or + controls.

Reducing power down from the Booster setting

If Power management is activated (default setting), the fan automatically switches back to level 3 after 5 minutes.

Fan run-on after cooking

■ It is advisable to run the fan for a few minutes after cooking has finished to neutralise any lingering vapours and odours in the air.

■ Turn off the fan by pushing the deflector plate back in. The next time the deflector plate is pulled out, the range hood will switch on at setting 2 again.
■ Press the On/Off touch control ⏻ to switch the fan off.

The ⏻ symbol will go out.

Switching the cooktop lighting on/off

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

■ You can switch the cooktop lighting on and off by pulling the deflector plate out and pushing it in or by pressing the lighting control ⚙️.

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

Power management

The rangehood features a Power management system to help save energy. The fan power setting is reduced and the lighting is switched off automatically.

• If the Booster setting has been selected, the fan will automatically switch to setting 3 after 5 minutes.
• From settings 3, 2 or 1 the power will be reduced by one setting after 2 hours and then in 30-minute stages until the fan finally switches off.
• The cooktop lighting will switch off automatically after 12 hours.

Switching Power management on/off

You can deactivate the Power management.

Keep in mind that this may increase energy consumption.

■ To set this option, both the fan and the cooktop 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 ⚙,

- then the — touch control, and

- the lighting control ♀ again.

If Power management is switched on, the 1 and B indicators light up constantly.

When it is switched off, the 1 and B indicators flash.

■ Press — to switch Power management off.

The 1 and B indicators will flash.

■ To switch it on, press +.

The 1 and B indicators will light up constantly.

■ Confirm your choice with the On/Off control ⏻.

All the indicator lights will go out.

If you don't confirm your selection within 4 minutes, the rangehood will automatically revert to the previous setting.

Safety switch-off

If Power management has been deactivated, the rangehood will switch itself off automatically after 12 hours if it has been left on (fan and cooktop lighting).

■ To switch it back on press the On/Off ⏻ control or the lighting control ⚙️.

This rangehood 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 rangehood 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 rangehood power level and therefore benefit from reduced energy consumption.
• Check the power level selected on the rangehood. A lower power level is generally sufficient for the majority of cooking. Only use the Booster 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 rangehood for longer to try to capture cooking vapours which have already been distributed throughout the kitchen.
• Make sure that you switch the rangehood off after use.
• Clean or change the filters at regular intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce performance, increase the risk of fire and are unhygienic.

⚠️ Before proceeding with any maintenance or cleaning task, the rangehood must be disconnected from the power supply (see “Warning and Safety instructions”).

Housing

General

⚠️ 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 warm water with a small amount of washing-up liquid applied with a well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.

Do not use too much water when cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate into the electronics and cause damage.

■ 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, e.g. Original Miele ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner.
■ To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel (Original Miele Care product for stainless steel) can also be used.
Apply sparingly with a soft cloth following the instructions on the packaging.

Important for the controls

Do not leave soiling on the controls for any length of time. Otherwise they may suffer discolouration or damage. Remove any soiling immediately.

■ Observe the general notes on cleaning earlier in this section.

Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the controls.

Grease filter

The re-usable metal grease filter in the appliance removes solid particles from the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc.) preventing soiling of the rangehood.

The grease filter must be cleaned at regular intervals.

A heavily soiled grease filter hinders air extraction and will lead to increased levels of soiling in the rangehood and in the kitchen.

Fire hazard!

An oversaturated grease filter is a fire hazard.

Clean the grease filter at regular intervals.

Grease filter cleaning intervals

Accumulated grease solidifies over a longer period of time and makes cleaning more difficult. The grease filter should therefore be cleaned at least every 3 to 4 weeks.

Removing the grease filter

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.

da3162a

When removing the grease filter do not tilt it downwards at an angle.

This can damage the retaining pins.

Diagram illustrating hand press application on a device, showing two steps with arrows indicating movement and a labeled page 'dal3162b'.

■ With the deflector plate pushed in, grip the front of the deflector plate and hold the grease filter securely. Whilst holding the grease filter, pull the deflector plate out as shown.
■ Then pull the filter downwards to remove it.
■ Switch off the fan.

Cleaning the grease filter by hand

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

Cleaning and care

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 or cream cleaners,
• aggressive all-purpose cleaning agents or spray cleaners for grease,
• oven sprays.

Cleaning the grease filter in the dishwasher

■ Place the grease filter upright or slightly inclined in the lower basket. Ensure the spray arm is not obstructed.
■ Use a standard household dishwasher detergent.
■ Select a dishwasher programme with a wash temperature between 50 °C and 65 °C.

Depending on the detergent used, cleaning the grease filter in a dishwasher can cause permanent discolouration to the internal surfaces of the filter. This will not affect the functioning of the grease filter in any way.

After cleaning

■ After cleaning, leave the grease filter to dry on an absorbent surface before refitting it.

■ When removing the filter for cleaning, also clean off any residues of oil or fat from the now accessible casing to prevent the risk of these catching fire.

Fitting the grease filter

dal1834

■ When fitting the grease filter, make sure that the red plastic guides are at the front and facing upwards.
■ Place the grease filter in the front of the deflector plate, press it upwards and push it in together with the deflector plate. It will slide onto the retaining pins at the back. Finally, push the grease filter back a little more.

NoSmell active charcoal filter

If the rangehood is connected for recirculation, a charcoal filter must be inserted in addition to the grease filter. The charcoal filter is designed to absorb cooking odours. It is fitted in the canopy above the grease filter.

Charcoal filters are available to order via the Miele Webshop (see end of this booklet for contact details) or directly from Miele.

The part number of the charcoal filter required is listed under "Technical data".

Fitting and replacing the charcoal filter

■ Before fitting or replacing the charcoal filter, the grease filter must first be taken out (see previous section for instructions on how to do this).
■ Unwrap the charcoal filter from its packaging.

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with directional arrows indicating movement or force (no text or symbols present)

■ Fit the charcoal filter into the frame.
■ Replace the grease filter.

When to change the NoSmell active charcoal filter

■ Replace the charcoal filter when it no longer absorbs kitchen odours effectively. It should be replaced at least every 6 months.

Disposing of the charcoal filter

■ The used charcoal filter can be disposed of with the normal household waste.

■ Secure the retaining brackets to the rear wall using the screws supplied.

The housing must be secured firmly to the rear wall of the furniture unit. If this is not ensured, the housing may lean forwards and the canopy could be damaged when it is pulled out and pushed back in.

If the furniture unit does not have a non-yielding rear wall, the retaining brackets must be attached to the kitchen wall. To do this, suitable means of attachment must be used.

■ Secure the spacer strip to the back of the appliance from behind using 4 plastic rivets as shown.

Attaching the front panel

The front of the deflector plate can be fitted with a front panel to match existing kitchen furniture units. The weight of the front panel must not exceed 1300 g. This applies to front panels with a depth of up to 30 mm. For larger and heavier front panels, the weight must be reduced, e.g. by machining it away at the back.

A DML 400 installation kit is required for fitting a front panel. It is available as an optional accessory.

■ Follow the installation instructions supplied.

Aligning the deflector plate

The position of the deflector plate can be brought forward by up to 35 mm using the adjusting screws on either side of the deflector plate. This allows the deflector plate to be aligned to the front of the kitchen furniture units on either side.

- Secure the exhaust ducting to the exhaust connection, e.g. with a hose clip (available as an optional accessory) on flexible ducting.

Set up for recirculation mode

If site conditions are not suitable for the rangehood to be used with air extraction, the appliance must be set up for recirculation. The DUU 151 conversion kit, available from Miele, is required for operating the rangehood in recirculation mode. You will also need a charcoal filter (see “Technical data”).

When using the rangehood in recirculation mode, do not fit a return flap. Depending on the model of rangehood, the non-return flap may already be fitted.

■ Fit the conversion kit as described in the installation instructions supplied with the kit. Make sure that the slats in the exhaust grille point towards the centre of the room and not towards a wall or the ceiling.

A non-return flap is not used in recirculation mode.

■ Fit the charcoal filter (see “Cleaning and care”).

Mains connection

Refer to the notes in “Electrical connection” and “Warning and Safety instructions” before connecting to the electricity supply.

■ For appliances connected to an external motor (EXT models): Connect the rangehood and the external motor using the connection cable and the six-pole plug connector.

- Plug the connection cable into an electrical socket.

All electrical work must be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety and building code regulations. 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.

The rangehood must be connected to a suitably earthed socket (AC 230 V, 50 Hz).

For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA.

Connection of this appliance must be made via a suitable isolator switch which provides disconnection on all poles and which complies with national and local safety regulations. The isolator switch should be easily accessible after the appliance has been built in.

If the mains socket is not accessible after installation, an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. There must be an all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the switch (including switch, fuses and relays).

The connection data is given on the data plate (See “After sales service”). Ensure that this data matches the household mains supply.

⚠️ Before installation, it is important to read the information given on the following pages as well as the “Appliance dimensions” and the “Warning and Safety instructions” at the beginning of this booklet. This is particularly crucial when using the rangehood at the same time as a heating appliance that relies on oxygen from the same room, which could result in the build-up of toxic fumes.

The rangehood should be installed according to local and national building regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary.

Only use smooth pipes 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 greatest possible air extraction with the lowest noise level, please note the following:

• The diameter of the exhaust ducting should not be less than 150 mm.
• If flat ducting is being used, the cross-sectional area must not be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the exhaust connection.

• 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 airflow 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 vent flue, the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.
■ Where 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 rangehood.
If the exhaust ducting is to run through rooms, ceiling space etc. 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 da/1585

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 are available for 125 mm or 150 mm ducting.

■ 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 airflow.

The condensate trap will be integrated in rangehoods which are designed to be connected to an external motor (...EXT models).

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.

Air extraction mode

da:3286e

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 dai3286f

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

    style D fill:#bbf,stroke:#333

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 connection inside the rangehood 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.
