Technical safety

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could bedangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electricalappliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved servicetechnician.

A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check it for visible signsof damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen continuity is complete between it and an effective earthingsystem. It is most important that this basic safety requirement ispresent and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, thehousehold wiring system should be inspected by a qualifiedelectrician.

Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure thatthe connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond inorder to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult aqualified electrician if in any doubt.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by amulti-socket unit or an extension lead. Extension leads are a firehazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

For appliances with an external motor fitted (...EXT models) theconnection of the two units must be made using the connectioncable and the plug connectors.These models may only be combined with a Miele external motor.


7

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it hasbeen built in.

This rangehood must not be installed and operated in mobileinstallations (e.g. on a ship).

Tampering with electrical connections or components andmechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can causeoperational faults. Only open the housing as described in the instructions given in theinstallation sheet and in the Cleaning and care section of thisbooklet. Under no circumstances should any other parts of thehousing be opened.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spareparts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of theappliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

If the electrical connection cable is faulty, it must only be replacedby a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user fromdanger.

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliancemust be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is onlycompletely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– the mains fuse has been disconnected, or

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this isapplicable), or

– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawnfrom the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but themains plug to disconnect your appliance from the mainselectricity supply.


8

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

Warning - danger of toxic fumesGreat care should be taken when using the rangehood at thesame time and in the same room or area of the house as anotherheating appliance which depends on the air in the room.Such appliances include gas, oil, wood or coal-fired boilers andheaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops, orovens which draw air in from the room and duct exhaust gasesout through a chimney or extraction ducting.

When used in extraction mode, with or without an external motorfitted, or in recirculation mode with a recirculation box installedoutside the room, the appliance draws air in from the room inwhich it is installed and from neighbouring rooms.

If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heatingappliance will be starved of oxygen, impairing combustion.Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extractionducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.


9

In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given offby the heating appliances from being drawn back into the roomwhen the rangehood and the heater are in operationsimultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa)is the maximum permissible.

Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot beblocked, in windows, doors or outside wall vents, or by othertechnical measures, such as ensuring that the rangehood can onlybe switched on when the heating appliance is switched off or viceversa. A ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to ensuresafe ventilation.

The overall ventilation condition of the dwelling must be taken intoaccount. If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder or, forgas, a qualified gas fitter must be sought.

The rangehood must not be used in recirculation mode, where theair is directed back into the room where it is located, at the sametime as a heating appliance which depends on the room air.


10

Correct use

Never use an open flame beneath the rangehood. To avoid thedanger 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 toexcessive heat.

– When using the rangehood over a gas cooktop, ensure that anyburners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the cookingzone 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 thepan.

– 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 couldcause corrosion.

When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc.,do not leave the pans unattended. Never leave an open grillunattended when grilling. Overheated oil and fat can ignite andcould set the rangehood on fire.


11

Do not use the rangehood without the filters in place. This wayyou will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the applianceand hindering its smooth operation.

The filters should be regularly cleaned or changed as appropriate.Saturated filters are a fire hazard.

The rangehood can get very hot during cooking due to heat risingfrom the cooktop.Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the rangehoodhas cooled down.

Correct installation

Refer to the cooktop manufacturer's instructions as to whether arangehood may be operated above the cooktop.

Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solidfuel stoves.

Insufficient distance between the cooktop and the rangehood canresult in damage to the rangehood.The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop andthe bottom of the rangehood given in the "Installation" section mustbe maintained, unless the cooktop manufacturer states that agreater 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 whenfitting the rangehood.


12

All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammablematerial. These can be obtained from Miele or from builders'merchants.

The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent fluewhich is in use. Neither should it be connected to ducting whichventilates rooms with fireplaces.

If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation ductno 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 shortcircuit.

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts oraccessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will beinvalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Caring for the environment

13

Disposal of the packingmaterialThe transport and protective packinghas been selected from materials whichare environmentally friendly fordisposal, and can normally be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces theuse of raw materials in themanufacturing process and alsoreduces the amount of waste in landfillsites. Ensure that any plasticwrappings, bags etc. are disposed ofsafely and kept out of the reach ofbabies and young children. Danger ofsuffocation.

Disposing of your oldapplianceElectrical and electronic appliancesoften contain materials which, ifhandled or disposed of incorrectly,could be potentially hazardous tohuman health and to the environment.They are, however, essential for thecorrect functioning of your appliance.Therefore, please do not dispose ofyour old appliance with your householdwaste.

Please dispose of it at your localcommunity waste collection / recyclingcentre.

Ensure that your old appliance presentsno danger to children while beingstored for disposal.

Description of the functions

14

Depending on the model of therangehood, the following options areavailable:

Air extraction mode

The air is drawn in and cleaned by thegrease filters and directed outside.

Non-return flap

The non-return flap is designed toprevent the exchange of room andoutside air taking place.The flap is closed when the rangehoodis switched off.When the rangehood is switched on,the non-return flap opens for thecooking vapours to be blown directlyoutside.

If the on-site ventilation system doesnot have a non-return flap, the non-return flap supplied must be fitted.

Recirculation mode(available as an optional extra with aconversion kit and charcoal filter: see"Technical Data")

The air is drawn in and cleaned first bythe grease filters and then by acharcoal filter. The cleaned air is thenrecirculated back into the kitchen.

Operation with an externalmotor(...EXT model rangehoods)

Rangehoods set up for operation withan external motor have to be connectedto a Miele external motor located in asuitable position outside the room inwhich the rangehood is installed. Theexternal motor is linked to therangehood via a connection cable andthen operated via Con@ctivity 2.0 orusing the controls on the rangehood.

Description of the functions

15

Con@ctivity functionAutomatic control

The rangehood has a communicationfacility which enables the automaticoperation of the rangehood dependingon the operational state of a Mieleelectric cooktop.

For communication to take place, thecooktop must be fitted with anappropriate Con@ctivity 2.0 stick.

Please consult the installationinstructions for the Con@ctivity 2.0stick to see if connection with yourcooktop is possible.

In order to be able to use theCon@ctivity 2.0 function, radio contactbetween the cooktop and therangehood must be established (see"Activating Con@ctivity 2.0").

The cooktop transmits informationabout its operational status via a radiosignal to the rangehood.

– When the cooktop is switched on,the cooktop lighting on therangehood comes on independentlyand, then after a short time, the fanalso comes on.

– During cooking the rangehoodautomatically sets the power levelaccording to the number of cookingzones in operation and their powerlevels.

– After switching the cooktop off, thefan and the cooktop lighting willswitch off automatically after aspecified period of time.

See "Operation" for detailedinformation about this function.

Operation (automatic mode)

18

If Con@ctivity 2.0 is activated, therangehood always operates inautomatic mode (see "ActivatingCon@ctivity 2.0").

To operate the rangehood manually,see "Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0".

Cooking with Con@ctivity 2.0(automatic mode) Switch a cooking zone on at the

power setting you want.

The rangehood lighting will come on.

After a few seconds the fan will comeon, first at power setting 2, then it willswitch immediately to power setting 1.

The rangehood selects the powersetting automatically during cooking.

This is determined by the total output ofthe cooktop, i.e. the number of cookingzones in operation and the powersettings selected.

If you select a higher power setting orare using several cooking zones, therangehood will switch to a higherpower setting.

When you reduce the power settingor the number of cooking zones onthe cooktop, the rangehood powersetting will also be reduced.

Examples for power levels 1 to 4

Reaction timeThe rangehood reacts with a slightdelay because altering the powersetting on the cooktop does notimmediately result in a reduction orincrease in cooking vapours.

Because the cooktop transmits theinformation to the rangehood atintervals, this can also cause delays.

The reaction can vary from a fewseconds to a couple of minutes.


19

Cooking process If, for example, you switch on a

cooking zone at the highest powersetting to heat a pan for frying andreduce the power level after approx.60 to 90 seconds*, a cooking processis recognised (*60 seconds to 5minutes for a HiLight cooktop).

The rangehood switches itself on andwhen the cooktop power level has beenreduced, the rangehood switches topower setting 3 and remains at thatlevel for approx. 5 minutes.

After that the rangehood power settingis determined automatically by theCon@ctivity function.

You can select another power settingmanually before then.

Switching off Switch off all cooking zones.

The rangehood fan will reduce itspower level over the next few minutesand will eventually switch itself off.

This helps to neutralise any lingeringvapours and odours in the air.

– From the intensive setting IS the fanswitches immediately to setting 3.

– From setting 3 the fan switches tosetting 2 after approx. one minute.

– From setting 2 the fan switches tosetting 1 after two minutes.

– After 2 minutes at setting 1, the fanswitches itself off.

– After another 30 seconds, the lightingswitches off.

The cooking process is then finished.

Installation recommendations– When deciding on the safety

distance between the cooktop andrangehood, please note that adistance of 650 mm above electriccooktops may be preferable to givemore working space under therangehood.

– Account should also be taken of theheight of the person who will beusing the rangehood most often.They should have sufficient space towork comfortably at the cooktop,and be able to reach the rangehoodcontrols with ease.

– If positioned too high, extraction willbe inefficient.

– To achieve optimum vapourextraction, the rangehood must coverthe cooktop. It should be positionedcentrally over the cooktop, not to theside.

– The cooktop should be no wider thanthe rangehood, and if possible, itshould be narrower, especially fordistances greater than 750 mm.

– The installation area must be easilyaccessible. The rangehood should beeasily accessible and easy todismantle in the event that service isrequired. This should be taken intoconsideration when planning theposition of cupboards, shelves,ceilings or features in the vicinity ofthe rangehood.

Drilling diagram for wallmounting Please follow the directions given in

the installation instructions suppliedfor drilling.

For pre-installation of a back wallwhere the holes have to be pre-drilled, please refer to the drillingdistances in the drawing above(screws 5 mm).

Connection for air extraction

37

Before installation, it is importantto read the information given on thefollowing pages as well as the"Appliance dimensions" and the"Warning and Safety instructions" atthe beginning of this booklet. This isparticularly crucial when using therangehood at the same time as aheating appliance that relies onoxygen from the same room, whichcould result in the build-up of toxicfumes.It is particularly important that the"Warning and Safety instructions"are observed.The rangehood should be installedaccording to local and nationalbuilding regulations. Seek approvalfrom the building inspector wherenecessary.

Only use smooth pipes or flexiblehoses made from non-flammablematerials for the extraction ducting.

Highly flexible, concertina typeducting material will greatly reducethe performance of the rangehood.

When using an external motor, makesure that the exhaust ducting issufficiently rigid. The external motorcan cause an underpressure whichcan result in the exhaust ductingdistorting.

To achieve the greatest possible airextraction with the lowest noise level,please note the following:

– To ensure efficient air extraction, thediameter of the exhaust ductingshould not be less than 150 mm.

A reduction in diameter willcompromise the extractionperformance of the rangehood.

– If flat ducting is being used, thecross-sectional area must not besmaller than the cross-sectional areaof the exhaust connection.

– The exhaust ducting should be asshort and straight as possible.

– Only use wide radius bends.

– The exhaust ducting should not bekinked or compressed.

– Ensure that all connections arestrong and airtight.

Remember that any constriction ofthe airflow will reduce extractionperformance and increase operatingnoise.

If the exhaust is ducted through anoutside wall, a telescopic wall vent ora roof vent (available as an optionalaccessory) is recommended.

If the exhaust air is to be ducted intoa vent flue, the ducting must bedirected in the flow direction of theflue.


38

When ducting is horizontal it must belaid to slope away at at least 1 cmper metre. This is to ensure thatcondensate cannot drain back intothe rangehood.

If the exhaust ducting is to runthrough rooms, ceiling space etc.where there may be great variationsin temperature between the differentareas, the problem of condensationwill need to be addressed. Theexhaust ducting will need to besuitably insulated.

Condensate trap

In addition to insulating the exhaustducting, we recommend that a suitablecondensate trap is also installed tocollect and evaporate any condensatewhich may occur.Condensate traps are available for 125mm or 150 mm ducting.

When installing a condensate trap,ensure that it is positioned verticallyand if possible directly above the

exhaust connection.The arrow on the housing indicatesthe direction of airflow.

The condensate trap will be integratedin rangehoods which are designed tobe connected to an external fan(model......EXT).

Silencer

To achieve even further reductions innoise levels, a special silencer (optionalaccessory) can be fitted in the ductingsystem.

Air extraction mode

The silencer not only reduces noisefrom the motor outside the house, butalso sounds from outside (e.g. trafficnoise). For this reason, the silencermust be positioned as close aspossible to the ducting exit .

Recirculation mode

The silencer needs to be positionedbetween the exhaust connection andthe directional unit . Ensure there isadequate space in the tower for fittingit.


39

Air extraction with external motor

To minimise noise from the motor in thekitchen, the silencer should bepositioned in front of the external motor if possible, or, if the ducting is long,above the exhaust connection insidethe rangehood . In the case of anexternal motor located inside thehouse, fitting a silencer behind theexternal motor reduces the noise ofthe motor outside the house.

Electrical connection

40

The rangehood must be connected to asuitably earthed socket (AC 230 V, 50Hz). All electrical work should beundertaken by a suitably qualified andcompetent person in strict accordancewith current national and local safetyand building code regulations.Installation, repairs and other work byunqualified persons could bedangerous, for which the manufacturercannot be held liable.Ensure power is not supplied to theappliance until after installation or repairwork has been carried out.

For extra safety it is advisable to installa residual current device (RCD) with atrip current of 30 mA.

Connection of this appliance should bemade via a suitable isolator whichcomplies with national and local safetyregulations and the On-Off switchshould be easily accessible after theappliance has been built in.

If the mains socket is not accessibleafter installation, an additional means ofdisconnection must be provided for allpoles. There must be an all-polecontact gap of 3 mm in the switch(including switch, fuses and relaysaccording to EN 60335).

The connection data is given on thedata plate. (See "After sales service").Ensure that this data matches thehousehold mains supply.

Activating Con@ctivity 2.0
