Description of functions  
Air extraction  
The air is drawn in via the glass or  
stainless steel panels and cleaned by  
the grease filters. Then the air is  
released outdoors.  
The hood comes equipped with a  
non-return flap. This flap automatically  
closes when the hood is turned off so  
that no exchange of outside air and  
room air can occur. When the hood is  
turned on, the air pressure of the  
exhaust fan automatically opens the  
flap blowing the inside air and cooking  
odors outside.

Cleaning and care  
,WARNING  
Avoid:  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR  
INJURY TO PERSONS,  
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:  
– cleaning agents containing soda,  
acids or chlorides,  
– abrasive cleaning agents  
e.g. powder or cream cleansers,  
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers  
or sponges which have been  
previously used with abrasive  
cleaning agents.  
Before cleaning or servicing the  
hood, disconnect it from the power  
supply, see "Important Safety  
Instructions".  
– sharp metal scrapers,  
– oven spray.  
,The halogen bulbs are very hot  
when in use. They stay hot for some  
time after turned off. Use caution,  
danger of burns.  
Wet cleaning the hot bulbs will  
cause damage.  
The following instructions for cleaning  
"Stainless steel" surfaces and "Stainless  
steel colored controls" should be  
followed in addition to the general  
"Cleaning the casing" instructions.  
Wait a few minutes after turning  
them off before cleaning.  
Special instructions for appliances  
with stainless steel surfaces  
Cleaning the casing  
(not applicable to the controls)  
Never use abrasive cleaners,  
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic  
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They  
will damage the surface.  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned  
using a non-abrasive stainless steel  
cleaner.  
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner  
for stainless steel can be applied.  
^ All external surfaces and controls can  
be cleaned with a mild solution of  
warm water and liquid dish soap  
applied with a soft sponge.  
Do not use too much water when  
cleaning the controls. Water could  
penetrate the electronics and cause  
damage.  
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.  
14  
 
Cleaning and care  
Special instructions for glass  
surfaces  
Panels and grease filters  
The glass or stainless steel panels and  
the reusable metal grease filters  
remove solid particles from the vented  
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc.) and  
prevent soiling of the ventilation hood.  
^ The glass edge can be cleaned  
using a household glass cleaner.  
Special instructions for appliances  
with colored casings  
Clean the panels and grease filters at  
the latest when the grease filter symbol  
[ of the timer button comes on.  
(Special order)  
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  
colors and if there is halogen lighting in  
the kitchen.  
The grease filters should be cleaned  
every 3 - 4 weeks, as the collected  
grease hardens over time and makes  
cleaning more difficult.  
,A dirty filter is a fire hazard!  
Special instructions for control  
buttons  
Support the grease filters and  
panels so that they do not fall and  
damage the cooktop.  
These controls may become dis-  
colored or damaged if not cleaned  
regularly.  
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner  
on these controls.  
15  
 
Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the grease filters  
^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a  
solution of warm water and mild dish  
soap.  
Do not use the pure detergent,  
aggressive all purpose cleaners,  
oven sprays, abrasive cleaning  
agents or limescale removers. They  
could damage the filter.  
^ Pull the front edge of the panels  
down slightly, unhook them at the  
back, and take them out.  
^ In a dishwasher: place the filter  
vertically in the lower basket, making  
sure that the spray arm is not  
blocked.  
Use a wash program with a max.  
temperature of 150°F (65°C). In a  
Miele dishwasher use the "Normal"  
program.  
Use the recommended amount of  
dishwasher detergent. Overuse could  
destroy the filter.  
^ Open the grease filter lock, lower the  
grease filter slightly, unhook it at the  
back, and remove.  
Depending on the detergent,  
cleaning the grease filters in a  
dishwasher may cause permanent  
discoloration of the filter surface.  
Filter performance will not be  
affected by this discoloration.  
Cleaning the panels by hand  
^ Follow the instructions under  
"Cleaning the casing".  
^ After cleaning, place the filters on a  
towel to air dry.  
^ While the panels and the filters are  
removed, clean any dirt or grease  
from the casing. This reduces the risk  
of fire.  
^ When reinstalling the grease filters,  
make sure that the locking clips are  
facing down.  
16  
 
Cleaning and care  
Resetting the grease filter timer  
Reset the timer each time you clean the  
grease filters.  
^ With the fan running, press and hold  
the timer button [for  
about 3 seconds, until only the 1 is  
flashing.  
The grease filter symbol [ goes out.  
^ If the filters are incorrectly installed,  
insert a small screwdriver into the slit  
along its edge to disengage them  
from the casing.  
If you clean the grease filters before  
the operating time elapses:  
^ Press and hold the timer button [—  
for about 6 seconds, until only the 1  
is flashing.  
^ Hook the panels onto the support  
ledge, lift up the front and push them  
into the lock until they engage.

Cleaning and care  
Changing the light bulbs  
,WARNING  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR  
INJURY TO PERSONS,  
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:  
Before changing the light bulbs,  
disconnect the hood from the power  
supply, see "Important Safety  
Instructions".  
When in use halogen bulbs become  
extremely hot, and can burn your  
hands. Do not attempt to change the  
bulbs until they have had sufficient  
time to cool.  
^ To change the halogen bulb, first  
gently press the light cover. The  
cover will open and can now be  
flipped down.

Air extraction  
Exhaust ducting and connections  
,WARNING  
Use smooth or flexible pipework made  
from approved non-flammable  
materials for exhaust ducting.  
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.  
To achieve the most efficient air  
extraction and quietest noise levels,  
consider the following:  
– The diameter of the ductwork should  
not be less than 6" (150 mm).  
– If flat ducting is used, the cross  
section must not be smaller than the  
cross section of the ventilation  
exhaust.  
Do not vent exhaust air into  
spaces within walls or ceilings or  
in attics, crawl spaces or garages.  
– The ducting should be as short and  
straight as possible.  
– Use ductwork with a wide radius.  
To reduce the risk of fire, only use  
metal ductwork.  
– The exhaust duct must not be bent  
or compressed.  
Please read and follow the  
"IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of  
personal injury. Follow all local building  
codes when installing the hood.  
– Make sure all connections are  
secure.  
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it  
must slope away from the hood at  
least 1/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to  
prevent condensation dripping into  
the appliance.  
– If the exhaust is ducted through an  
outside wall, a Telescopic Wall Vent  
can be used.

Air extraction  
Condensate trap  
optional accessory  
– If the exhaust is ducted into an  
inactive flue, the air must be expelled  
parallel to the flow direction of the  
flue.  
Never connect an exhaust hood to  
an active chimney, dryer vent, flue,  
or room venting ductwork. Seek  
professional advice before  
connecting an exhaust hood vent to  
an existing, inactive chimney or vent  
flue.  
In some cases, a condensate trap may  
also be required to collect and  
evaporate any condensate which may  
occur. This optional accessory is  
available for ducts 5" (125 mm) and 6"  
(150 mm) in diameter.  
Important  
If the ductwork runs through rooms,  
ceilings, garages, etc. where  
temperature variations exist, it may  
need to be insulated to reduce  
condensation.  
^ When installing a condensate trap,  
ensure that it is positioned vertically  
and if possible directly above the  
exhaust outlet.  
If the ventilation system is designed for  
an external fan, the condensate trap is  
integrated into the hood (series ...EXT  
only).

,WARNING  
Important  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR  
INJURY TO PERSONS,  
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:  
To increase security before the  
machine is installed, it is  
recommended to install a protective  
switch (30 mA).  
All electrical work should be  
performed by a qualified electrician  
in strict accordance with national  
regulations (for USA: ANSI-NFPA 70)  
and local safety regulations.  
Installation, repairs and other work  
by unqualified persons could be  
dangerous.  
Important  
The hood must be hard wired  
accordingly:  
Black/Red wire: connect to L1 (live)  
White wire: connect to N (neutral)  
Green wire: connect to GND (ground)  
Ensure that power to the appliance  
is off while installation or repair work  
is performed.  
^ Verify that the voltage, load and  
circuit rating information found on the  
data plate (located behind the  
grease filter), match the household  
electrical supply before installing the  
hood.
