Overview
The Miele DA 3480 is a built-in wall-cabinet ventilation hood with a body 29 13/16 inches wide (757 mm). Its depth changes from 10 13/16 inches retracted to 16 3/4 inches extended, and extending the fume deflector starts the hood automatically. Maximum airflow is 625 CFM across four front-control fan speeds. The exhaust duct is six inches (150 mm) in diameter. Electrical requirements are 120 V, 60 Hz, 15 A. Across the Miami, New York, Houston, Los Angeles and San Diego metro areas, the booking should include the full model number from the rating label, which fan speed fails and whether the blower is noisy or vibrating.
The extending fume deflector is the feature that separates this cabinet hood from a fixed-depth model. Pulling the deflector out switches the fan on, so the owner gets an automatic start without pressing a button. The 625-CFM maximum is the airflow rating to check against the cooktop size. Metal grease filters need cleaning every three to four weeks, which is the routine the owner keeps.
