Miele Da 420 V Manual

							Before any cleaning or maintenance
work is carried out, disconnect the
cooker hood from the mains supply.
Ensure that:
- it is switched off at the isolator,
or
- the fuse is withdrawn from the
fused spur connection unit, or
- the mains fuse is disconnected,
or
- the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is
applicable).
E-Cloth
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. It can
be washed 300 times.
Housing
General notes
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 a Miele E-Cloth, or
with warm water and 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.
Do not use:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
acids, chlorides or solvents,
–abrasive cleaning agents e.g.
powder cleaners or cream cleaners,
and abrasive sponges, e.g. pot
scourers or sponges which have
been previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents. These will damage
the surface material.
Important for appliances with
stainless steel housing
(This infomation does not apply to the
controls).
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using the Miele E-Cloth, or with a
proprietary non-abrasive cleaning
agent designed specifically for use on
stainless steel.
To help prevent re-soiling, a condition-
ing agent for stainless steel such as
Neoblank (available from the Miele UK
Spare Parts Department) can also be
used. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.
Cleaning and care
21 
						

							Important for appliances with
lacquered housing
(special order finish)
It is very difficult to clean this type of
surface without causing minor marks to
the surface material. This can become
particularly noticeable with darker
colours and if there is halogen lighting
in the kitchen.
Important for the controls
The controls may suffer
discolouration or damage if soiling is
left on them for too long.
Remove soiling straight away.
Observe the General notes on cleaning
earlier in this section.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the controls.
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.
To avoid a build-up of grease, the
grease filters should be cleaned
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks), but
always clean immediately the grease
filter indicator lamp comes on.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.

To take out the grease filters, release
the locking clip on the filter, lower the
filter 45°, unhook it at the back and
remove it.
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
22 
						

							Cleaning the grease filters by hand
Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and a little washing-up liquid.
Do not use "neat" washing up liquid.
Do not use:
–cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
–powder cleaners, cream cleaners or
abrasive all-purpose cleaning
agents,
–oven sprays.
Cleaning the grease filters in the
dishwasher
Place the filters as upright as
possible in the lower basket, with the
short sides upright, and wash on a
65°C programme, ensuring the spray
arm is not obstructed. If a Miele
dishwasher is being used, select the
Sensor wash programme.

Use a mild dishwasher detergent.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the filters in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the 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.When putting the grease filters back in
position, ensure that the locking clips
are facing down towards the hob.
If a grease filter is inadvertently
replaced upside down, insert a small
screwdriver blade into the slit to
disengage the clip.
After replacing the grease filters,
press the grease filter control for
approx. 3 seconds to reset the
operating hours counter.
The indicator lamp will go out.
If the grease filters are cleanedbefore
the operating hours counter has
reached its maximum, the grease filter
control should be pressed for approx. 6
seconds to reset the counter.

							Charcoal filter
(...U models only)
If the cooker hood is connected for
recirculation, a charcoal filter must be
inserted in addition to the grease filters.
This is designed to absorb cooking
odours.
It is fitted in the canopy above the
grease filters.
New filters can be purchased from
your Miele dealer or from the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
See back cover for contact details,
and "Technical data" for the model
number of the filter.
Before fitting or replacing a charcoal
filter, the grease filters must first be
taken out (see previous section for
instructions on how to do this).
Take the charcoal filter out of its
packaging.

Insert the charcoal filter into the
canopy.

Finally, refit the grease filters.
When fitting for the first time:

Set the operating hours counter to
suit your requirements (see
"Operation").Always replace the charcoal filter im
-
mediately if
–the indicator lamp for the charcoal
filter lights up,
or
–if it is no longer effective in absorbing
kitchen odours.
It should, however, be replaced at least
every 6 months.
Used charcoal filters can be disposed
of with the normal household waste.
After fitting the new charcoal filter,
press the charcoal filter touch control
for approx. 3 seconds to reset the
operating hours counter.
The charcoal filter indicator lamp will
go out.
If the charcoal filter is replacedbefore
the operating hours counter has
reached its maximum, the charcoal
filter touch control should be pressed
for approx. 6 seconds to reset the
counter.

							Changing a halogen lamp
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work, disconnect the cooker hood
from the mains supply. Ensure that
–it is switched off at the isolator, or
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Exercise caution when changing
halogen lamps. They get very hot
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
Theminimumsafety distances
between the top of a cooker or hob
and the bottom of the cooker hood
are as follows, unless a greater
distance is specified by the
manufacturer of your cooking
appliance:
550 mm above electric hobs and
cookers,
650 mm above an open grill or
deep fat fryer,
650 mm above gas hobs and
cookers.
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 "Warning and Safety" instructions
for further information.
–
A distance of 650 mm above the hob
may be preferable to give more
working space.

							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 to avoid the danger of toxic
fumes building up.

							Important: To avoid the danger of
toxic fumes, please observe the
Warning and Safety instructions.
This is especially crucial when using
the cooker hood at the same time as
another heating appliance which
relies on air from the same room.
The cooker hood should be installed
according to local and national
building regulations. Seek approval
from the building inspector where
necessary.
–All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable materials.
– The exhaust ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– To ensure efficient air extraction, the
diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150 mm.
If exhaust ducting with a diameter of
less than 150 mm, or if flat ducting is
used, the noise level of the cooker
hood will increase and extraction will
be less efficient.
Only reduce the diameter of the
ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g.
where narrower ducting has already
been installed.
–
Only use wide radius bends. Tight
bends reduce the air throughput of
the cooker hood.
–
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable
materials for extraction connection.–Where ducting is horizontal, it must
be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm
per metre.
This is to ensure that condensate
cannot drain back into the cooker
hood.
–If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
the open air, the installation of a
telescopic wall vent is
recommended.
–
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a vent flue, the ducting must be
directed in the flow direction of the
flue.

							Important!
If the exhaust ducting is to run through
rooms, ceiling space etc. where there
may be great variations in temperature
between the different areas, the
problem of condensation will need to
be addressed. The exhaust ducting will
need to be suitably insulated.
Condensate trap
(optional accessory)
In addition to insulating the exhaust
ducting, we recommend that a suitable
condensate trap is also installed to
collect and evaporate any condensate
which may occur. Condensate traps
are available for125 mm or
150 mm ducting.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust connection. The arrow on the
housing indicates the direction of
air-flow.Cooker hoods designed for use with an
external motor (...EXT models) have an
integrated condensate trap.
Silencer
(optional accessory)
To achieve even further reductions in
noise levels, a special silencer can be
fitted in the ducting system.
It can be sited at any suitable position
in the ducting system between the
cooker hood and the external motor on
...EXT model cooker hoods.
On extraction models, it can be fitted
nearest the ducting outlet to the outside
to reduce neighbourhood noise.
On recirculation models, it can be fitted
in between the fan and the deflector.
