Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing

material

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances

often 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 your

old appliance with your household

waste.

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for

disposal, and can normally be

recycled.

Packaging e.g. cling film, polystyrene

and plastic wrappings must be kept out

of the reach of babies and young

children. Danger of suffocation!

Dispose of or recycle all packaging

materials safely as soon as possible.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre and ensure that it presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected

from the mains electricity supply by a

competent person. If connected by a

plug, the plug must be rendered

useless and the cable cut off directly

behind the appliance to prevent

misuse. See the "Warning and Safety"

section of this booklet for further details.

Warning and Safety instructions

The appliance is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply

when:

Use

Never use an open flame beneath

the cooker hood. To avoid the

danger of fire, do not flambé or grill

over an open flame under the cooker

hood. When switched on, the cooker

hood could draw flames into the filter.

Fat particles drawn into the cooker

hood present a fire hazard.

– it is switched off at the isolator,

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug withdrawn,

– the fuse from the fused spur

connection unit is withdrawn,

– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or

When using the cooker hood over

a gas hob, ensure that any burners

in use are always covered by a pan;

otherwise flames could be drawn up by

the suction of the cooker hood, parts of

which could then be damaged.

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable).

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electricity supply by an

extension lead.

Extension leads do not guarantee the

required safety of the appliance (e.g.

danger of overheating).

Always switch the cooker hood on

when a cooking zone is in use,

otherwise condensation may collect in

the hood, which could cause corrosion.

For appliances with an external fan

motor fitted (EXT models) the

connection of the two units must be

made using the connection cable and

the plug connectors.

These models may only be combined

with a Miele external motor.

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.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation

by cockroaches or other vermin, pay

particular attention to keeping the

appliance 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 guarantee.

Do not use the cooker hood without

the grease 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. See "Cleaning and care".

Do not use a steam-cleaner to

clean this appliance. Pressurised

steam could reach the electrical

components and cause a short circuit.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

The minimum safety distances

between the top of a cooker or hob

The appliance is only intended for

and the bottom of the cooker hood are

as follows, unless a greater distance is

specified by the manufacturer of your

cooking appliance:

use by adults who have read these

instructions. Keep children well away

from the appliance at all times and

supervise them when you are using it.

– 550 mm above electric hobs and

cookers,

Older children may use the

appliance only when its operation

has been clearly explained to them and – 650 mm above gas hobs and

they are able to use it safely,

cookers,

recognising the dangers of misuse.

– 650 mm above an open grill or deep

fat fryer.

Please be aware that on

appliances with halogen lighting,

the lamps will get very hot during use

and remain hot for some time after

switching off. To safeguard against

burning, keep children well away from

the lamps at all times.

If more than one appliance is fitted

beneath the cooker hood and they have

different minimum safety distances to

the cooker hood, select the greater

distance.

If the distance falls below the

recommended safety distance when

the canopy is lowered, the max. interval

it is allowed to be lowered must be

re-set during installation. See the

installation instructions for further

advice.

Packaging (e.g. cling film,

polystyrene) and plastic wrappings

must be kept out of the reach of babies

and young children. Danger of

suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all

packaging safely as soon as possible.

All ducting, pipework and fittings

must be of non-flammable material.

These can be obtained from the Miele

Spare Parts department or from

builders’ merchants.

Installation

Safety regulations prohibit the

fitting of a cooker hood over solid

fuel stoves.

The appliance must not be

connected to a chimney or vent

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Using at the same time as other

heating appliances that depend on

the air from the room

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 extractor

and the heater are in operation

simultaneously, an underpressure in the

room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the

maximum permissible.

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

Ventilation can be maintained by air

inlets which cannot be blocked, in

windows, doors and outside wall vents,

or by other technical measures, such

as ensuring that the extractor 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.

extraction ducting.

When used in extraction mode, with or

without an external motor, 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 may be starved of oxygen,

impairing combustion.

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

"Corgi" installer, must be sought.

Harmful gases such as carbon

monoxide could be drawn out of the

chimney or extraction ducting back

into the room, with potentially fatal

consequences.

Warning and Safety instructions

One of the following technical

measures may be necessary to ensure

safe operation.

Disposal of your old appliance

Before disposing of your old

appliance, first make it unusable.

This should be done by a competent

person.

– If the only way of ensuring adequate

ventilation is via an open window, a

window contact switch should be

fitted to ensure that the cooker hood

can only operate when the window is

opened sufficiently. A window

contact switch kit is available from

good builders’ merchants.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by

non-compliance with these Warning

and Safety instructions.

Take care when ventilating the room

through an open window that

ventilation is not impaired by a

closed blind or curtain.

– The cooker hood can be set up to

automatically switch on an air intake

fan or open a motorised inlet flap

when it is switched on.

– The cooker hood can be set up to

automatically switch off a heating

appliance which also depends on

the air from the room when it is

switched on.

The Miele control module DSM 400

offers the possibility of combining such

components with the cooker hood (see

"Operation with a control module").

This is available to purchase as an

optional extra.

If in any doubt, the advice of a

competent builder or, for gas, a

"Corgi" installer, must be sought.

If the hood is being operated in

recirculation mode, the above

restrictions do not apply.

Modes of operation

The cooker hood works with

. . . air recirculation:

(Applies to the DA 420 V only. A

conversion kit and charcoal filter are

required, which are available as

optional accessories: see "Technical

Data")

. . . air extraction:

The air is drawn in, cleaned by the

grease filters and directed outside.

The air is drawn in and cleaned first by

the grease filters and then by a

charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then

recirculated back into the kitchen

through grilles in the top of the cooker

hood telescopic tower.

The cooker hood is fitted with a

non-return flap, which is closed when

the cooker hood is switched off. No

exchange of room air and outside air

can take place. When the cooker hood

is switched on, the non-return flap

opens for the cooking vapours to be

blown directly outside.

Before using the cooker hood in

recirculation mode, ensure that the

charcoal filter is in place. See

"Cleaning and care".

. . . an external motor:

( ...EXT models only)

EXT models are designed to be

connected to an external motor located

outside the room.

The external motor is connected to the

cooker hood by means of a control

cable and is operated by the controls

on the cooker hood.

Adjusting the height of the

canopy

The height adjustment feature on the

canopy can be used to –

– adapt the height of the hood to suit

the installation conditions.

– adjust the working area underneath

the hood to the height of the user.

– maximise vapour extraction by

lowering the canopy during

particularly intensive cooking.

– create more working space above

the hob by raising the canopy when

required.

The height of the canopy can be

adjusted by up to 300 mm in air

extraction mode, and by up to 250 mm

in recirculation mode.

^ The canopy can be raised or lowered

by touching the Up or Down controls

briefly.

^ Pressing the control again stops the

canopy.

If it is not stopped, the canopy will

automatically be raised or lowered to its

fullest extent.

Repeated use of the height

adjustment feature over several

minutes will cause it to cut out. It can

be used again after a pause.

Cleaning and care

without the use of chemicals.

Avoid:

Before carrying out any cleaning or

maintenance work, disconnect the

cooker hood from the mains supply.

Ensure that:

– cleaning agents containing soda,

acids, chlorides or solvents,

– it is switched off at the isolator, or

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug removed, or

– the fuse is withdrawn from the

fused spur connection unit, or

– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable).

– 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 housing

Housing

(This infomation does not apply to the

controls).

General notes

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned

using the Miele E-cloth, or with a

proprietary non-abrasive cleaning

agent designed specifically for use on

stainless steel.

The surfaces and controls are

susceptible to scratches and

abrasions. Please observe the

following cleaning instructions.

To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary

conditioning agent for stainless steel,

e.g. Neoblank (available from the Miele

Spare Parts Dept.) can also be used.

Apply sparingly, following the

instructions on the label, with an even

pressure in the direction of the "grain".

^ All external surfaces and controls can

be cleaned using warm water with a

little washing-up liquid applied with a

well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.

^ Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft

cloth.

Do not use too much water when

cleaning the controls. Water could

penetrate into the electronics and

cause damage.

Important for appliances with

lacquered housing

(special finish)

It is very difficult to clean this type of

surface without causing minor marks to

the surface material. This can become

particularly noticeable with darker

colours and if there is halogen lighting

in the kitchen.

^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available

from the Miele UK Spare Parts

Department which is suitable for

cleaning surfaces such as stainless

steel, glass, plastic and chrome

Cleaning and care

Controls

The controls may suffer

discolouration or damage if soiling is

left on them for too long. Remove

soiling straight away.

Observe the General notes on cleaning

earlier in this section.

Do not use stainless steel cleaning

agents on the controls.

^ To take out the grease filters, release

the locking clip on the filter, lower the

filter 45°, unhook it at the back and

remove it.

Grease filters

To avoid damaging the filter or the

hob below, make sure you hold the

filter securely at all times when

handling it.

Re-usable metal filters are fitted which

remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc.)

from the kitchen vapours, preventing

soiling of the cooker hood.

The grease filters should be cleaned

regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to

avoid a build-up of grease.

^ Clean the filters

- by hand: with a soft nylon brush,

warm water and a little washing up

liquid.

- in a dishwasher: place filters

upright in the lower basket, and wash

on a 65° programme, ensuring that

the spray arm is not obstructed.

However, they should be cleaned im-

mediately if the grease filter touch

control lamp comes on.

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.

An oversaturated filter is a fire

hazard.

Cleaning and care

^ After cleaning, leave the filters to dry Fitting and replacing the

on an absorbent surface before

replacing them.

charcoal filter

If the cooker hood is connected for

recirculation, a charcoal filter must be

inserted in addition to the grease filters.

It is designed to absorb cooking

odours.

It is fitted in the canopy above the

grease filters.

^ 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.

When putting the grease filters back in

position, ensure that the locking clips

are facing down towards the hob.

New filters can be purchased from

your Miele dealer or from the Miele

Spare Parts Department.

See back cover for contact details,

and "Technical data" for the model

number of the filter.

^ Before fitting or replacing a charcoal

filter, the grease filters must first be

taken out (see previous section for

instructions on how to do this).

If the grease filters are inadvertently

replaced upside down, insert a small

screwdriver blade into the slits to

disengage the clip.

^ After replacing the grease filters,

press the grease filter touch control

for approx. 3 seconds to re-set the

operating hours counter.

The indicator lamp will go out.

If the grease filters are cleaned before

touch control should be pressed for

approx. 6 seconds to reset the counter.

^ Insert the charcoal filter into the

canopy. The tab for removing it

should be at the front.

When fitting for the first time:

^ Set the operating hours counter to

suit your requirements (see

"Operation").

Cleaning and care

Always replace the charcoal filter imme-

diately if

– the indicator lamp for the charcoal

filter touch control lights up,

– if it is no longer effective in absorbing

kitchen odours.

It should, however, be replaced at least

every 6 months.

Used charcoal filters can be disposed

of with the normal household waste.

^ After fitting the new charcoal filter,

press the charcoal filter touch control

for approx. 3 seconds to re-set the

operating hours counter.

The indicator lamp will go out.

^ If a charcoal filter is replaced before

the operating hours counter has

reached its maximum, the charcoal

filter touch control should be pressed

for approx. 6 seconds to reset the

counter.

Cleaning and care

Changing a halogen lamp

Before any cleaning or maintenance

work, the cooker hood must be

disconnected from the mains supply.

Ensure that, depending on

connection:

– it is switched off at the isolator, or

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug is removed, or

– the fuse is withdrawn from the

fused spur connection unit, or

– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or

– the screw-out fuse is removed

applicable).

^ Replace the lamp cover a carefully,

making sure it engages securely in

position.

Exercise caution when changing

halogen lamps. They get very hot

during use and remain hot for some

time after being switched off.

Never use the lighting without the

lamp cover in place. It has a filter

designed to cut out harmful rays.

Do not touch the surface directly

when changing a lamp, as grease

are as follows, unless a greater

distance is specified by the

manufacturer of your cooking

appliance:

– 550 mm above electric hobs and

cookers,

– 650 mm above gas hobs and

cookers,

– 650 mm above an open grill or

deep fat fryer.

For further advice, see "Warning and

Safety".

If the distance falls below the

recommended safety distance when

the canopy is lowered, the max. interval

it is allowed to be lowered must be

re-set during installation. See the

installation instructions for further

advice.

Installation

Assembly parts

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 cooker hood 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.

4 screws 8 x 60 mm with

4 washers and

4 plugs S 10 to secure the cover plate

to the ceiling

The screws and plugs are designed

for use in concrete ceilings.

For other types of construction,

alternative suitable fixings will be

required.

Installation instructions

See enclosed Installation sheet for

instructions on how to install this

appliance.

Make sure the ceiling is strong

enough to bear the weight of the

cooker hood.

2 spring clips to hang the cooker hood

onto the cover plate

In order to use the cooker hood in

recirculation mode, it has to be fitted

with a special conversion kit which is

available from the Spare Parts

Department (see "Technical data"). It is

supplied with its own fitting instructions.

4 countersunk screws M 6 x 20 mm

with locating bar and

4 self-locking nuts M 6 to secure the

cooker hood to the cover plate

After the cooker hood has been

installed, the charcoal filter has to be

fitted, and the operating hours counter

has to be set.

1 cable clip for securing the exhaust

ducting to the exhaust stub.

Electrical connection

If the switch is not accessible after

installation (depending on country), an

additional means of disconnection must

be provided for all poles.

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).

For extra safety it is advisable to install

a residual current device (RCD) with a

trip current of 30 mA.

Installation, repairs and other work

by unqualified persons could be

dangerous, for which the

WARNING:

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

EARTHED

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 60 335).

Operation with Control module DSM 400

The Miele DSM 400 Control module can

be used to combine the cooker hood

with other components.

If the control module is

disconnected in order to operate the

cooker hood without the window

contact switch (e.g. after moving

house) the cooker hood electronics

must be reset by a Miele service

technician.

It enables the following:

Connection to a window contact

switch

If adequate ventilation to the room can

only be ensured by having a window

open when the cooker hood is in use at

the same time as a heating appliance

which depends on the air from the

same room, then the control module

can be used to connect a window

contact switch (not supplied) to the

appliance.

Potential free connection

This enables a further appliance to be

controlled by the switch setting on the

cooker hood fan.

– For instance, it can be used to

ensure a sufficient supply of fresh air

when the cooker hood and a heating

appliance which also depends on

the air in the room are being used

together, by switching on an air

intake fan or opening a motorised

inlet flap as soon as the cooker hood

fan is switched on.

Once connnected, the cooker hood can

only be operated when the window is

sufficiently open (see also "Warning

and Safety instructions").

When the window is closed the cooker

hood fan cannot be switched on. The

indicator lamp for the On/Off touch

control on the cooker hood will flash.

It is important to ensure that the fan

power is sufficient and that the air

intake has a suitable cross-sectional

diameter.

The cooker hood lighting is not affected

by this.

...EXT models can also be combined

with a window contact switch.

– If a sufficient air intake cannot be

guaranteed, then the potential free

contact will enable a heating
