Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element. , WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN -You may be burned. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result. Use an extinguisher ONLY if: – You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it. – The fire is small and contained in the area where it started. – The fire department is being called. – You can fight the fire with your back to an exit. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Installation , WARNING To reduce the risk of fire only use metal ductwork. When installing the hood, follow the recommended minimum safety distances between a Miele cooktop and the hood: – 22" (55 cm) above electric cooktops, – 26" (65 cm) above gas cooktops, – 26" (65 cm) above an open grill. If local building codes require a greater safety distance, follow their requirement. For non-Miele cooking appliances maintain the safety distances recommended by the appliance manufacturer in their instructions. If there is more than one appliance beneath the hood and they have different minimum safety distances always select the greater distance. Be careful not to damage hidden electrical wiring or plumbing when cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling. Do not use an extension cord to connect the appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance, (e.g. danger of overheating). Do not install this hood over cooktops burning solid fuel. Any fittings, sealant, or materials used to install the ductwork must be made of approved non-flammable materials. Never connect an exhaust hood to an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue, or room ventilating ductwork. Seek professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue. Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors. Make sure that the airflow in the room is sufficient for combustion and exhausting of all non-electric heating appliances (water heaters, gas cooktops, gas ovens, etc.), otherwise backdrafts may occur. Follow the heating manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards or those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), or the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). If in doubt, consult an experienced professional. Functional description The ventilation hood works by air extraction. The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside. 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.

The button is also used: – to reset the grease filter timer after cleaning the grease filters (see "Cleaning and Care"). – to show how long the grease filters have been in use (see "Operation / Filter timers"). – to change the number of hours counted by the grease filter timer (see "Operation / Reprogramming the filter timers"). Operation Turning on the fan ^ Press the On/Off button. The fan runs at power level “lI”. The On/Off indicator lights. Selecting the power level ^ Use the _buttons to select the desired power level. &= increases the fan speed $= decreases the fan speed Level "1" to "3" (green indicators) are usually sufficient for normal cooking. Intensive setting Level "4" (yellow indicator) should be used for a short period when frying or cooking food with a strong aroma. Fan performance The maximum air flow capacity is 625 cfm. Factors such as narrow duct diameter and bends will affect this value. Level 1 operates at 40% capacity Level 2 operates at 60% capacity Level 3 operates at 80% capacity Level 4 operates at 100% capacity Delayed Shut Down If odors or smoke remain in the kitchen after cooking has been completed, the Delayed Shut Down feature can be selected to allow the hood to continue running for either 5 or 15 minutes. ^ Pres...
