Extraction and installation flexibility
This integrated cooker hood provides three standard extraction levels and a Booster setting for short bursts when steam, smoke or strong odours require extra ventilation. The available information gives a maximum extraction rate of 600 m³/h in extraction mode and 530 m³/h in recirculation mode.
It can be installed for either external extraction or recirculation, with ducting connections at the top and rear. A 150mm duct connection is specified, while recirculation requires a separate conversion kit and active charcoal filter.
Smart controls and everyday operation
Con@ctivity 3.0 can communicate with a compatible WiFi-enabled Miele hob, allowing the fan setting to adjust automatically in response to hob use. Miele@home, WiFiConn@ct and MobileControl provide additional connected-control options.
The hood includes electronic controls, LED lighting and an automatic run-on function with five- or 15-minute settings. A programmable Booster switch-off can return operation to Setting 3 after five minutes, helping limit unnecessary high-power running.
Cleaning and efficiency
Two 10-ply stainless-steel grease filters are dishwasher-safe, making regular maintenance more manageable. Programmable saturation indicators can help signal when grease or active charcoal filters need attention, while the smooth Miele CleanCover interior is designed to simplify cleaning around the motor and wiring.
The appliance has an A energy efficiency class, A fluid dynamic efficiency and A lighting efficiency. Its LED lighting is specified at 300 lx and 3000 K, providing dedicated illumination over the hob area.
