Con@ctivity 2.0 function – Automatic control

The new Miele hood features a communication function which enables the automatic control of the hood based on the operational status of a Miele cooktop.The cooktop transmits information about its operational status to the hood using a radio signal.

– When a burner is turned on, the cooktop lighting on the hood turns on automatically. After a brief delay, the ventilation hood fan also comes on.
– During cooking, the hood automatically selects the fan level based on the number of burners in operation and their power levels.
– Once you have turned off the cooktop, the fan and the lighting will turn off automatically after a predetermined delay.
