							The cooker hood works with
. . . air extraction:
(excluding ...U models)
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
The cooker hood is fitted with a
non-return flap, which is closed when
the cooker hood is switched off. No
exchange of room air 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:
(...U models only)
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filters and then by a
charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen
through grilles in the top of the cooker
hood extension piece.
Before using the cooker hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
charcoal filter is in place. See
"Cleaning and care".
...anexternal motor:
(...EXT models only)
...EXT models are designed to be
connected to an external motor located
outside the room.
The external motor is connected to the
cooker hood by means of a control
cable, and is operated by the controls
on the cooker hood.
Modes of operation

							Conctivity
This cooker hood is communication
enabled.
Communication module XKM 2000 DA
, available as an optional extra,
enables the operation of the cooker
hood to be automatically controlled by
the operating status of a Miele electric
hob with onset controls.
For communication to take place, the
hob must be fitted with communication
module XKM 2000 KM.
The hob transmits information about its
operating status to the cooker hood via
the household power supply
(Powerline).–When the hob is switched on the
cooker hood lights and the fan also
comes on.
–During cooking the cooker hood
automatically sets its power level
according to the number of cooking
zones in operation and their power
levels.
–After switching the hob off the fan
and the hob lighting will switch off
automatically after a period of time.
For detailed information about this
function please read the separate
instruction booklet supplied with the
XKM 2000 DA communication module.
The communication module is fitted to
the cooker hood in the area of the
motor and is connected to the controls
of the cooker hood.
This module must be installed by a
Miele service technician or suitably
qualified electrician.

–Select a short time if you roast or fry
a lot.
– If you use very little fat for cooking,
