Need help?Do you have a question about the Miele DA 72/1 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document provides operating instructions for the Miele Cooker Hood DA 72/1, designed for both vented and non-vented operation. It covers essential information for users and installers, including safety guidelines, appliance description, operation, cleaning, maintenance, and installation procedures.
The Miele Cooker Hood DA 72/1 is designed to extract cooking fumes and odors from the kitchen environment. In vented operation, the fumes are filtered through a grease filter and then expelled to the outside. For non-vented operation, the fumes pass through a grease filter and additional charcoal filters, which absorb odors, before being recirculated back into the kitchen via the upper part of the kitchen cabinet. The unit is factory-set for vented operation and includes a non-return flap that closes when not in use to prevent air exchange between the outside and the room. A few seconds after activation, this flap opens to channel fumes outside. The cooker hood features a fume deflector with a glass panel that, when pulled out, automatically starts the unit. The fan power can be adjusted to different levels, from low (#1) to high (#5). It also includes cooktop illumination, which can be operated independently of the cooker hood's fan.
To operate the cooker hood, first turn on the main switch. Pulling out the fume deflector will automatically activate the fan at the previously selected power setting. Users can then select the desired fan power (Position 1 for low, Position 5 for high) and switch on the cooktop light if needed. For optimal fume extraction, especially when using front burners or dealing with large accumulations of fumes, the deflector should be pulled out completely. For lighter use, pulling it out slightly is sufficient. After cooking, it is recommended to keep the unit running for an additional 10 minutes to eliminate any remaining cooking fumes. The unit will automatically turn off when the fume deflector is pushed back in. Remember to turn off the cooktop light after use.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the cooker hood's performance and safety. Before any servicing, always turn off the main power supply to the cooker hood.
The grease filter captures solids like dust and grease, protecting the fan motor. This reusable metal filter can be cleaned either by hand or in a dishwasher. It should be cleaned periodically, typically every two to three months, or when discoloration is noticed, or suction power decreases. Fatty build-ups in the filter pose a fire hazard, so timely cleaning is essential. To clean the grease filter:
If the cooker hood is used in non-vented mode, charcoal filters are necessary to absorb kitchen odors. These filters are attached with a screw (included). The charcoal filter is Part Number #3082270, and a Conversion Kit (Part Number #1027011) may also be required, available from Miele dealers or the Miele Spare Parts Department.
Always ensure the main power supply is switched off before changing the lamp or starter.
For normally soiled glass panels, use a mild detergent. For thorough cleaning, the panel can be removed. Use the enclosed Miele plastic scraper to remove the glass panel by inserting the scraper as shown in the manual and carefully prying the panel upwards.
