Extraction performance and installation
The Miele DA 2668 cooker hood is designed to be hidden within kitchen cabinetry, with a 580mm canopy and edge extraction panels for a discreet appearance. Its three standard power levels cover everyday cooking, while the 585 m³/h Booster setting provides extra capacity when smoke or strong odours develop.
The hood can operate in extraction or recirculation mode. Recirculation requires the separately specified DUU 151 conversion kit and DKF19-1 active charcoal filter, so installation planning should account for those additional components where applicable.
Efficiency and everyday operation
The ECO DC motor supports the hood’s A+ energy rating, with stated annual energy consumption of 28.40 kWh. The booster can be programmed to return to Setting 3 after five minutes, helping limit unnecessarily prolonged high-power operation.
Electronic light-touch controls, LED indicators and dimmable LED lighting make routine use straightforward. Two dishwasher-safe 10-ply stainless steel grease filters, saturation indicators and a smooth CleanCover interior are useful for ongoing cleaning and maintenance.
Smart features and lighting
Miele@home and Con@ctivity 3.0 allow the hood to communicate with a compatible WiFi-enabled Miele hob, with the hob able to transmit settings so the extractor can adjust automatically. This is a convenience feature rather than a requirement for basic operation.
The two 4.5W LED lights provide stated illumination of 700 lux at a 3500K colour temperature, with dimming available to adjust the lighting over the cooking area.
