Description of functions
The following functions are available on
your ventilation hood, depending on the
model:
Recirculation mode
The recirculation mode requires a recir‐
culation kit and OdorFree Charcoal Fil‐
ter (available as optional accessories,
see "Technical Data" for more informa‐
tion)
Vented mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
The air is drawn in and first cleaned by
the grease filters and then by an Odor‐
Free Charcoal Filter. The cleaned air is
then recirculated back into the kitchen.
Non-return flap
A non-return flap in the ducting pre‐
vents the exchange of inside and out‐
side air from occurring when the venti‐
lation hood is not in use.
The flap is closed when the ventilation
hood is turned off.
When the ventilation hood is turned on,
the non-return flap opens so that the
exhaust air can be transported outside
without any obstruction.
A non-return flap has been provided
with the hood in case your ducting
does not have one. It is inserted into
the outlet duct collar of the fan.
14
Description of functions
The cooktop transmits information
about its operational status to the hood
using a radio signal.
Con@ctivity 2.0 function
Automatic control
This hood features a communication
function which enables the automatic
control of the hood based on the opera‐
tional status of a Miele cooktop.
– When a burner is turned on, the
cooktop lighting on the hood turns
on automatically. After a brief delay,
the ventilation hood fan also comes
on.
– During cooking, the hood automati‐
cally selects the fan level based on
the number of burners in operation
and their power levels.
– Once you have turned off the cook‐
top, the fan and the lighting will turn
off automatically after a predeter‐
mined delay.
Detailed information about this function
can be found under "Operation."
To enable the communication function,
the cooktop must be equipped with the
corresponding Con@ctivity 2.0 stick .
Please refer to the installation instruc‐
tions for the Con@ctivity 2.0 stick to
determine whether connection to your
cooktop is possible.
There must be radio contact between
the cooktop and the hood for you to be
able to use the Con@ctivity 2.0 function
(see "Activating Con@ctivity 2.0").

Operation (Automatic mode)
When Con@ctivity 2.0 is active, the
hood always operates in Automatic
mode (see "Activating Con@ctivity
2.0").
Reaction time
Changing the power setting on the
cooktop does not lead to an immediate
increase or decrease in cooking vapors.
For this reason, the hood reacts with a
slight delay.
See "Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0"
for information on manually operating
the hood.
Delays can also result from the fact that
the cooktop transmits the information
to the hood in intervals.
Cooking with Con@ctivity 2.0
(Automatic mode)
Turn on a burner to the desired power
setting.
The reaction time can vary from a few
seconds to a couple of minutes.
The hood lighting will come on.
After a few seconds, the fan will come
on, briefly operating at power level 2
before immediately switching to level 1.
The hood selects the fan level automat‐
ically during cooking.
This level is determined by the total
output of the cooktop, i.e. the number
of burners in operation and the power
settings selected.
If you select a higher power setting
on the cooktop or switch on multiple
burners, the hood will switch to a
higher fan level.
If you select a lower power setting on
the cooktop or turn off a burner, the
hood will accordingly switch to a low‐
er fan level.

tion hood fan setting will decrease one
level at a time until the hood eventually
turns off.
This helps to neutralize any lingering
vapors and odors in the air.
The hood turns on automatically and,
after the cooktop power level has been
reduced, switches back to fan level 3,
where it remains for approx. 5 minutes.
– From the intensive setting IS, the fan
immediately switches to level 3.
After this, the fan level is once again
determined by the Con@ctivity function.
– If the fan is operating at level 3, it will
switch to level 2 after approx. 1 mi‐
nute.
You can also manually select a differ‐
ent fan level before then.
– From level 2, the fan switches to level
1 after 2 minutes.
– After 2 minutes at level 1, the fan au‐
tomatically turns off.
– After another 30 seconds, the lighting
turns off.
The cooking process is now finished.

Grease filters
The reusable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove the solid particles
contained in kitchen vapors (fat, dust,
etc.), thereby preventing the ventilation
hood from becoming dirty.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard!
Cleaning intervals
Over longer periods of time, fat buildup
on the grease filter hardens and makes
cleaning more difficult. Therefore, we
recommend cleaning the grease filters
once every 3-4 weeks.
By illuminating the grease filter symbol,
the filter saturation counter reminds
you to regularly clean the grease filters.
27
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the grease filters in the
dishwasher
Place the filters as upright or inclined
as possible in the lower basket. En‐
sure that the spray arm is not ob‐
structed.
Use a common household dishwash‐
er detergent.
