[. . . ] No exchange of room 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. air recirculation: The air is drawn in and cleaned first by the grease filters and then by two charcoal filters. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through a vent in the top of the cooker hood. Ensure that: - it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug removed, or - the fuse is withdrawn from the fused spur connection unit, or - the mains fuse is withdrawn, or - the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable). A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals. Grease filters The re-usable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc. ) from the kitchen vapours, preventing soiling of the cooker hood. They should be cleaned at least every 3-4 weeks to avoid grease sticking hard to them. An oversaturated filter is a fire hazard. Housing The surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasions. Please observe the following cleaning instructions. All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned using warm water with a little washing-up liquid applied with a well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth. Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth. Do not use too much water when cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate into the electronics and cause damage. Avoid: ­ cleaning agents containing soda, acids, chlorides or solvents, ­ abrasive cleaning agents, e. g. powder cleaners or cream cleaners and abrasive sponges, as well as pot scourers or sponges which have been used previously with abrasive cleaning agents. These will damage the surface material. 12 ^ Release the locking clips on the grease filters, and carefully lower and remove the filters. To avoid damaging the filters or the hob below, make sure you hold the filters securely at all times when handling them. Cleaning and care ^ Clean the filters - by hand: with a soft nylon brush, warm water and a little washing up liquid. - in a dishwasher: place filters upright in the lower basket, and wash on a 65° programme, ensuring that the spray arm is not obstructed. Depending on the cleaning agent used, cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher can cause permanent discolouration to the surface of the filters. However, this will not affect the functioning of the grease filters in any way. ^ After cleaning, leave the filters to dry on an absorbent surface before replacing them. ^ When removing the filters for cleaning also clean off any residues of oil or fat from the now accessible housing to prevent the risk of these catching fire. ^ Position the charcoal filters on either side of the fan as shown, and twist securely into place. [. . . ] If the switch is not accessible after installation (depending on country), an 22 additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA. Important U. K. , IRL, NZ, ZA: This appliance is supplied for connection to an a. c.
