•Do not allow children to clean or maintain the appliance unless
supervised.
•Always provide adequate ventilation!
•There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range
hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other
fuels.
•When the range hood and appliances supplied with energy other
than electricity are simultaneously in operation, the negative
pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 × 10-5 bar).
•Local regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be
fulfilled.
•Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean the
appliance.
ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Avoid the risk of electric shock; make sure the appliance is
switched off before cleaning the appliance.
•Only use the appliance inside the home.

Safety

•Do not use the cooker hood if the grease filter has not been fitted
properly!
•Do not lean against the cooker hood.
•Never use the cooker hood as a working surface unless this is
indicated explicitly.
•Grease and oil are inflammable when overheated. Remain in the
cooking area when preparing meals.
•To prevent hot fat catching fire you should only deep-fry under
continuous supervision.
•The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly both on the outside
as well as the inside (at least 1 x per month). Insufficient cleaning
or a delay in the replacement of filters can cause a fire hazard.
•Clean the filters on time.
•The grease filters can become hot during use. After cooking wait
at least 30 minutes before cleaning.
•Please note! Intensive use can lead to condensation on the cooker
hood. Condensation is simple to remove with a dry cloth.
•Follow the instructions in the manual for cleaning or replacing the
grease filters and/or carbon filters!
DANGER OF FIRE!
There is a risk of fire if the instructions for cleaning or replacing
grease filters and/or carbon filters are not followed.
Through grease deposits in the metal grease filter. Never work
with open flame under the appliance (eg. flambéing). Always use
the appliance with the metal grease filter. Clean the grease filter
regularly.
Through overheated fat or oil. Never extinguish a fire with water;
always use a fire blanket, lid or plate.

Safety

•The light emitted by LED lights is very dazzling and can damage
the eyes. Do not look directly into the switched on LED lights for
longer than 100 seconds.
•When washing grease filters in the dishwasher it is recommended
to use a short, non-intensive programme. Check the grease filter
after washing in the dishwasher for wear (loose material). Wear
can occur as a result of frequent washing. If loose material is
visible, replace the filters in order to prevent this loose material
from ending up in the food that is cooked.
•Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5 °C.

Cleaning
WARNING!
Important! For all maintenance, first switch off the mains power to the cooker hood by pulling
the plug out of the socket or by turning off the home's master switch. The hood needs to be
cleaned regularly, both inside as well as outside (at least as often as the grease filter).
Do not use abrasive cleaning products. Do not use alcohol!
If the instructions regarding cleaning of the appliance or replacing the filters are not followed,
this can cause a fire. These instructions must be followed! The manufacturer is not liable for
damage to the hood or fire damage resulting from incompetent maintenance or from
non-adherence to the safety instruction above.
Cooker hood
Clean the cooker hood with soapy water and a soft cloth.
Then rinse with clean water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as caustic soda. The
cooker hood finish stays in good condition if it is buffed periodically following the application of wax.
NOTE!
Stainless steel cooker hoods
Do not use scouring pads or other abrasive cleaners on stainless steel cooker hoods. Finish with
a non-abrasive, non-polishing agent and buff the stainless steel in the direction of the grain.
Filter cleaning indicator
The filter indicator will lit after 14 operating hours.
•The grease filters should then be cleaned.
•Metal grease filters should be cleaned once a month (or when indicated by the filter cleaning
indicator) using a neutral cleaning agent, either by hand or in the dishwasher on a short,
low-temperature program.
•Place the grease filters with the openings facing downwards in the dishwasher so the water can
drain out of the filter. Stainless steel grease filters become dull as a result of dishwasher cleaning
agents. This is normal and does not effect the working. Allow the filters to drain well before
replacing.
•Reset the memory by pressing and holding the ‘-’key until the filter indicator goes off.

The filter is now in position again.
4. Press the glass plate firmly in the seal again (you will hear a click).
WARNING!
The glass plate can be removed for cleaning. Two people are required when removing the glass
plate (due to its weight)!
