Functional description
The ventilation hood offers two modes
of operation:
. . . Air extraction:
. . . Recirculation mode:
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
Air is drawn through the grease filters
and active charcoal filters. The filtered
air is then recirculated back into the
kitchen through a vent at the top of the
hood’s chimney.
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.
The active charcoal filters may be
purchased from your Miele dealer or
Miele’s Technical Service Department.
When the hood is turned on, the air
pressure of the exhaust fan auto-
matically opens the flap blowing the
inside air and cooking odors outside.
Before using the hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
active charcoal filters are in place,
see "Cleaning and Care".

34
Air extraction
– Only use wide radius bends. Tight
bends reduce the air flow of the
hood.
Danger of toxic fumes!
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled. The
exhaust gases extracted by the
hood should be vented outside of
the building only.
Do not terminate the exhaust
ducts in attics, garages,
crawlspaces, etc.
– Use smooth or flexible pipes made
from approved non-flammable
materials for exhaust ducting.
– 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.
– The extraction ducting should be as
short and straight as possible, and
the number of sharp bends should
be minimized.
– If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a Miele Telescopic Wall
Vent can be used.
– For most efficient air extraction, the
diameter of the ductwork should not
be less than 5" (125 mm).
Noise levels of the hood will increase
if flat ducts or round ducts of less
than 5" (125 mm) in diameter are
used.
Only reduce the diameter of the
ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g.
where narrower ducting has already
been installed.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.
– If the exhaust is ducted into an
inactive flue, the air must be expelled
parallel to the flow direction of the
flue.
CAUTION
To reduce risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air
outside. Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings or
into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
35
Air extraction
Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent
flue, or room venting ductwork. Seek
professional advice before
connecting an exhaust hood vent to
an existing, inactive chimney or vent
flue.

If the ductwork runs through rooms,
ceilings, garages, etc. where temper-
ature variations exist, it may need to be
insulated to reduce condensation. In
some cases, a condensate trap may
also be required to collect and
evaporate any condensate which may
occur.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust outlet.
