DA 5796 W Next Step: Miele presents new wall hood

An elegant design and top marks on the energy label are the two characterising features which merge on a new wall decor hood from Miele.

On the new model with the designation DA 5796 W Next Step, the body of the wall unit and the 90 cm wide glass screen seem to fuse together. This slimline design gives a sense of weightlessness and levity which is further boosted by technical specifications: With an A+ for energy efficiency, the DA 5796 W – like many other Miele cooker hoods – is assigned to the top performance category for this group of products. A key factor contributing towards low electricity consumption is the Eco motor (energy-efficient DC unit) as well as two 4.5 W LED downlights. Low-key, too, are the sound emissions on the DA 5796 W: Even in the highest regular power setting, this wall hood operates with a sound power output of only 55 dB (dB(A) re1pW) and is pleasantly quiet.

The DA 5796 W features Miele's automatic Con@ctivity 2.0: Whilst the user is free to concentrate on the job of cooking, the cooker hood automatically adjusts suction power to what is actually cooking on the hob below, ensuring a pleasant room climate. The Miele hob unit – and there are more than 30 models to select from – transmits its settings via an RF link to the extractor. The installation of Con@ctivity 2.0 is very simple and merely involves inserting the RF transmitter which comes with the extractor into its sheath.

Typical for Miele is a 10-ply metal grease filter which removes grease particles from rising steam and vapours. The DA 5796 W achieves top marks for grease separation and therefore sports an A on the label. A distinctive feature on Miele models is the CleanCover which lines the interior of the canopy above the grease filters. When an infrequent thorough clean is required, the smooth powder-coated surfaces of the CleanCover facilitate cleaning and reliably protect against inadvertent contact with live componentry in the canopy.

Operation of the DA 5796 W is possible in either vented or recirculation mode; one model is also designed for combination with an external fan.
