FAQs
How do I clean the grease filters?
The stainless-steel grease filters are dishwasher-safe. For best results, place them in the dishwasher every 4-8 weeks.
How do I set up Con@ctivity?
Con@ctivity is an automatic function. Ensure your hob is compatible and that the hood and hob are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. The hood will then automatically respond to the hob's settings.
What is the lifespan of the active charcoal filter?
The active charcoal filter (for recirculation) should be replaced every 120-240 hours of use, as indicated by the filter indicator on the hood.
How do I reset the filter indicator?
After cleaning or replacing the filter, you can reset the indicator through the hood's control panel. Refer to your user manual for specific instructions.
Can I control the hood remotely?
Yes, you can control the hood remotely via the Miele@Home app, provided it is connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
What is the warranty period?
Miele products typically come with a 2-year warranty. Refer to your product documentation for the specific warranty terms.
What if the hood automatically shuts off after 10 hours?
This is a safety feature. If this happens, it is normal operation. However, If the hood is shutting off when you are actively cooking, contact customer service.
