52 Useful information Miele cooker hood glossary Hinged halogen spotlights The halogen spotlights of Miele cooker hoods ensure warm and uniform illumination of your hob and offer exemplary convenience. Even replacing the bulb is quicker and easier with Miele: by applying gentle pressure, the spring-loaded cover of the spotlight is released and the bulb can be easily removed. With a small tilt back the cover snaps into place again. Handcraftsmanship - made in Germany All Miele cooker hoods are developed at Miele's Arnsberg plant and for the most part hand-crafted. Each cooker hood is unique. Every stage of the manufacturing process involves a certain amount of manual craftsmanship, from shaping the steel to welding and polishing. The commitment of employees, their expertise, creativity and will to perform have contributed greatly to Miele's market position. High-quality and powerful fans Miele cooker hoods are equipped with high-quality radial fans that provide suction on two sides. These high-performance units guarantee powerful air throughput at all times as well as optimised extraction. Despite their high performance, the fans operate at a comfortably low noise level. Hood in motion Miele cooker hoods are designed for people who like something a little out of the ordinary. Do you have special requirements? If so, you will be impressed by our motorised cooker hoods. With these exclusive premium appliances the body of the cooker hood automatically moves into the perfect position for operation... and back into its park position when switched off to save space. The very best in ergonomics, highly efficient extraction and perfect integration into the kitchen - Miele technology. It’s simply stunning. LED spotlights LED spotlights are not only an optical highlight. A Miele LED spotlight consumes only 3 or 4.5 W and thus saves a lot of electricity. Miele LEDs illuminate the hob with a warm, natural and even light (3500 K). Based on a minimum of 20,000 operating hours, the spotlight should not need to be replaced during its lifetime. This corresponds to an average usage of approx. 20 hours per week at 20 years’ use. Light dimmer function Some Miele cooker hoods (models with run-on control and filter saturation indicator) are equipped with a dimmer function. If the button for the hob lighting is pressed for a longer time, the brightness of the light on the cooker hood can be dimmed. This allows you to create the perfect ambiance in every situation. Long-life AirClean filter Thanks to the durable honeycomb active charcoal filter made from anthracite, which can be regenerated in the oven, odours are efficiently neutralised. Alternatively, these odour filters can be purchased as optional accessories for many wall and island cooker hoods. Active AirClean filters Miele recirculation hoods require an Active AirClean filter in addition to the grease filter.This Miele filter removes odours efficiently and long-term. Automatic 'Intensive' switch-off The intensive setting offers a very high air throughput level and is intended for short-term operation, for instance when burnt food results in the development of smoke or odours. It can be programmed to automatically reduce power setting down to setting 3 after 10 minutes. This avoids unnecessary energy consumption. Con@ctivity 2.0 Thanks to Con@ctivity 2.0 the cooker hood can communicate with the hob below: The settings selected at the hob are transmitted to the controls of the cooker hood. Your Miele cooker hood then uses this data to automatically select the correct fan setting to ensure the optimum room climate at all times. Design flexibility Miele offers cooker hoods in a large variety of designs and with functional features - perfect technology for every requirement. Miele cooker hoods always set individual accents, but are never intrusive. With clean lines, well thought-out functions and timeless design. ECO motor The heart and soul of every cooker hood is the motor. Miele's ECO package includes a DC motor which operates up to 70% more energy efficiently than conventional motors. It is also very quiet but still as powerful as the motors in other Miele cooker hoods. Edge extraction In cooker hoods with edge extraction the commercial-looking metal grease filters are hidden behind a decorative cover. Cooking vapours are extracted around the perimeter of the unit, and with hobs with multi-zone edge extraction also via the gaps between the panels of the hood. Energy efficiency classification The energy label provides information at a glance on the running costs and performance of your cooker hood. Miele appliances combine excellent values on fan power, grease filter efficiency, lighting efficiency and sound emissions. Filter indicator If the grease or active charcoal filter of your Miele cooker hood is saturated, the red LED indicator will light up. Your filter should then be cleaned or replaced as soon as possible. You can individually adjust the factory-set service life of the filters: the grease filter saturation indicator can be programmed for 20, 30, 40 or 50 hours, the indicator for active charcoal filter replacement for 120, 180 or 240 hours.
