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 it

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 or contact your dealer for

advice. 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.

heating appliances that depend on

the air from the room

Warning - danger of toxic fumes

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.

This appliance may only be used in

mobile installations such as ships,

caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk

assessment of the installation has been

carried out by a suitably qualified

engineer.

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

extraction ducting.

In 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.

When used in extraction mode, with or

without an external motor fitted, 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.

Harmful gases could be drawn out of

the chimney or extraction ducting back

into the room, with potentially fatal

consequences.

Warning and Safety instructions

In order to ensure safe operation, and

One of the following technical

measures may be necessary to ensure

safe operation.

to prevent gases given off by the

heating appliances from being drawn

back into the room when the cooker

hood and the heater are in operation

simultaneously, an underpressure of

0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum

permissible in the room.

– 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.

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.

Ventilation can be maintained by air

inlets which must not be blocked, in

windows, doors and outside wall vents,

or by other technical measures, such

as ensuring that the cooker hood 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.

The Miele DSM 400 control module

offers the possibility of combining other

components with the cooker hood (see

"Operation with Control module

DSM 400").

It is available to purchase as an

optional extra.

Modes of operation

The cooker hood works with

. . . air recirculation:

(available as an optional extra with a

conversion kit and charcoal filter: 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 fan:

(...EXT models only)

The ...EXT models are designed to be

connected to an external motor located

outside the room.

The external fan is connected to the

cooker hood by means of a control

cable and is operated by the controls

during use and remain hot for some

time after being switched off. Let

them cool down before you change

them.

Do not touch the surface directly

when changing a lamp, as grease

particles from your fingers will

adhere to the surface and damage

it. Please follow the manufacturer's

instructions.

^ To access the halogen lamp, push

the lamp cover gently upwards. The

cover will open and can be pulled

down.

^ Pull the old halogen lamp out of the

connection socket and replace it with

a new one (20 W, G 4 fitting).

^ Push the cover back up and make

sure it clicks into place.

Safety distance between hob and

cooker hood (S)

For safety reasons a minimum safety

distance must be maintained

between the top of the cooker/hob

and the bottom of the cooker hood:

- 550 mm above electric cookers/hobs

- 650 mm above an open grill from

the Miele range.

- 650 mm above gas cookers/hobs

If this cooker hood is installed above

a Miele Wok CS 1028 CombiSet

appliance, a minimum safety

distance of 760 mm must be

maintained between the burner and

the lower edge of the cooker hood.

See the Warning and Safety

instructions for further information.

A distance of 650 mm above the hob

may be preferable to give more working

space.

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.

The screws and plugs are designed

for use in concrete ceilings.

For other types of construction,

alternative suitable fixings will be

required.

Installation instructions

Make sure the ceiling is strong

enough to bear the weight of the

cooker hood.

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.

The connection data is given on the

data plate. (See "After Sales Service").

Ensure that this data matches the

household mains supply.

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 60335).

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 same applies to operation with an

external motor (depending on model).

The cooker hood lighting is not affected

by this.

– If a sufficient air intake cannot be

guaranteed, then the potential free

contact will enable a heating
