• Sleek, puristic design

• Improved filtration technology supports operation in recirculation mode

With its vertical glass panel, the DA 9090 W Screen wall hood is reminiscent of a slimline extractor – and takes up an equally small amount of space. Miele's new hood also blends in perfectly in kitchens characterised by straight lines and a reduced design. It also offers taller persons greater freedom when cooking at the hob. And as each compact casing houses excellent ventilation technology from Miele's Arnsberg plant, these models leave nothing to be desired when it comes to performance. The hood can equally well be operated in vented or recirculation mode and is available in obsidian black and graphite grey.

The extractor housing unit stands just 26 cm proud of the wall and offers greater headroom than a conventional wall-hung extractor. Neither buttons nor switches interrupt the vertical lines of the glass front. Instead, touch controls integrated into the glass further emphasise the minimalistic design, allowing the hood to be operated at the touch of a fingertip. Lighting, too, subscribes to the same aesthetic principles: Uniform illumination of the hob area is provided by a rectangular LED strip at the front of the canopy.

Operation in both vented and recirculation mode is possible, whereby the latter is ideal for well-insulated, energy-efficient buildings where filtered air is re-introduced into the room. Miele's tried-and-tested stainless-steel filter is used in both operating modes. This serves to thoroughly bind vapour-borne grease and fat. The filters can be conveniently cleaned in a dishwasher. On the recirculation model, molecules carrying odours adsorb onto the downstream Longlife AirClean Filter with its activated charcoal. A new single-use filter is also available, with pleated material which guarantees better air permeability and hence reduced airflow noises. Alternatively, Miele offers a filter with a high active charcoal content which can be conveniently reactivated in an oven, allowing it to be used for up to 3 years.

The product comes replete with a shelf in a colour matching the glass; it is easily attached to the underside of the extractor. This also extends the vapour capture area which in turn results in more steam and vapours passing through the unit. This is clearly noticeable above all in recirculation mode. The rack can also be used for storing spices or for decoration purposes.

The DA 9090 W Screen achieves A-rated energy efficiency and will be available from retailers from mid-November 2019, depending on the country.
