Miele DA 6881 Downdraft Ventilation Hood

The unit is designed to sit flush with your countertop when not in use, preserving your workspace. When activated, the canopy rises to capture smoke and odors directly at the cooking surface, then retracts completely when you are finished.

Yes, the Miele DA 6881 supports both vented and recirculating modes. If you cannot vent to the outside, you can configure it for recirculation, which cleans the air through filters before returning it to the kitchen.

Not at all. The grease filters are dishwasher-safe, making maintenance straightforward. Simply remove them and run them through a cycle to keep the system operating efficiently.

The 15-minute run-on timer ensures that any lingering odors or smoke are cleared from the kitchen even after you have finished cooking. Once the timer completes its cycle, the blower shuts off automatically.

This model is designed for a 30-inch width, but you should verify your specific cabinetry and cooktop dimensions with a professional installer. Because it is a downdraft system, it requires specific clearance beneath the countertop for the motor and ducting.

The hood features backlit electronic controls located on the top of the unit. These allow you to easily toggle between the three fan speeds and operate the telescopic lift mechanism.
