Miele DA 390-6 Ceiling-Mounted Island Ventilation Hood

The DA 390-6 is a ceiling-mounted island ventilation hood with a 6-inch (150 mm) exhaust connection and a fan offering three standard levels plus an intensive setting. Four 20 W halogen lamps light the cooktop, and they run apart from the fan. The unit draws 430 W on a 120 V, 60 Hz supply protected by a 15 A fuse, and the fan shuts off by itself after ten hours. This Miele island hood can be programmed so the intensive mode returns to level three after ten minutes. Across the metro areas we cover, controls that do not respond and lights that stop are the main details to note. In the booking form, list the symptom, the full number from the rating label and any light pattern.

What sets the DA 390-6 apart

Ceiling mounting over an island is what sets this hood apart, because the canopy hangs in open space rather than against a wall. The three standard levels and the intensive setting give a range of extraction, and the intensive mode can step down to level three after ten minutes without the owner adjusting it. The four halogen lamps have their own switch, so the work surface can be lit without running the blower.

Service notes for the DA 390-6

When the lights fail while the fan runs, a technician checks the four lamp sockets and their supply before the fan motor, since the lamps have their own circuit. Weak suction usually means a loaded grease filter or a restricted exhaust connection, so the owner should check the filter and the size of the outlet duct. If the fan runs on one speed only, record which speed works and whether the intensive mode responds. Turn the hood off at the breaker before anyone reaches up to the lamps or the ceiling mount.
