Miele DAD6980 downdraft extractor in Obsidian Black with AmbientLight, Con@ctivity and ECO motor. A 94cm design with powerful, space-saving extraction.
Miele DAD 6980 Levantar Ambient 94cm Downdraft Extractor with AmbientLight
The Miele DAD 6980 Levantar Obsidian Black downdraft extractor combines sleek design with efficient extraction, making it a strong choice for modern kitchens. Finished in Obsidian Black, this 94cm downdraft extractor features AmbientLight, Con@ctivity and an ECO motor for powerful performance with everyday convenience.
With 3 power levels and 2 booster levels, the Miele DAD6980 is designed to adapt to different cooking demands. Air throughput reaches 450 m³/h at Level 3, rising to 610 m³/h and 655 m³/h on the booster settings according to EN 61591.
Motorised design for practical everyday use
The motorised retractable deflector plate, described by Miele as Hood in Motion, automatically moves the canopy into the ideal working position and returns it to park position when switched off. This improves ergonomics while helping the extractor integrate neatly into the kitchen when not in use.
Electronic SmartControl White touch controls keep operation simple and refined. When switched off, only the On/Off icon is visible, while active settings are brightly illuminated for a clean, modern look that coordinates with compatible Miele hobs.
AmbientLight, Con@ctivity and smart control
The AmbientLight feature adds individual coloured lighting for a more inviting kitchen atmosphere. Lighting performance includes 1 x 12W + 1 x 8W, with an intensity of 400 lx, a 3500 Kelvin colour temperature, dimmer function and ambient lighting colour adjustment.
With Miele@home and Con@ctivity, the vapour extractor activates automatically during cooking and adjusts air throughput to the hob settings to help maintain a pleasant room climate. If preferred, operation can also adapt to manual changes in power level. During pyrolytic cleaning of the oven, the cooker hood switches on automatically to help prevent odours.
Efficient filtration and easy cleaning
The Miele DAD6980 features edge extraction and a 10-ply stainless-steel grease filter for effective grease removal. The commercial-style metal grease filters are concealed behind a decorative cover, with cooking vapours drawn in at the outer edges for a streamlined appearance.
Miele’s CleanCover canopy interior helps make cleaning easier. Behind the grease filters, the sealed smooth surface replaces sharp metal edges and exposed electrical components, improving both convenience and safety.
Filter maintenance is also straightforward thanks to the grease filter saturation indicator and active charcoal filter saturation indicator. A red LED shows when filters need cleaning or replacement, and the factory-set service life can be adjusted to suit usage.
Recirculation flexibility and optional accessories
This model supports easy recirculation mode installation with the Plug&Play accessory set. Using DUP 150, planning and installation are quick and easy without a separate ducting system or additional plinth box.
The air guide can be retrofitted, and the recirculation conversion kit is available separately as DUU 600 or DUP 150. Optional active charcoal filters are available separately as DKF 30-P and DKF 30-R. The extractor also features a bottom exhaust duct and a 150mm extraction ducting connection.
Performance, noise levels and efficiency
The ECO motor and dual-action blower support strong extraction performance while maintaining efficient operation. Miele states that its ECO motors work up to 50% more economically than conventional motors while remaining very quiet and powerful.
In standard operation, sound power levels are 43 dB(A) at Level 1, 55 dB(A) at Level 2 and 62 dB(A) at Level 3 according to EN 60704-3. Booster sound power levels reach 69 dB(A) and 71 dB(A).
