Operating modes
This can be achieved if the combustion air
is able to flow through non-lockable
openings, e.g. in doors, windows and in
conjunction with an air supply/air-intake wall
box or by other technical procedures such
as reciprocal interlocking.
If the air intake is inadequate, there is a
risk of poisoning from combustion gases
which are drawn back into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is
no guarantee that the limiting value will not
be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall
requirement, the combined ventilation
system for the entire household must be
taken into consideration. This rule does not
apply to the use of cooking appliances,
such as hobs and ovens.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the
extractor hood is used in recirculating mode
– with activated carbon filter.
Circulating-air mode:
❑An activated carbon filter must be fitted
for this operating mode (see Filters and
maintenance).
The complete installation set and
replacement filters can be obtained from
specialist outlets.
The corresponding accessory numbers
can be found at the end of these
operating instructions.
❑The extractor-hood fan extracts the
kitchen vapours which are purified in the
grease filter and activated carbon filter
and then conveyed back into the
kitchen.
❑The grease filter absorbs the grease
particles in the kitchen vapours.
❑The activated carbon filter binds the
odorous substances.
If no activated carbon filter is installed,
it is not possible to bind the odorous
substances in the cooking vapours.

Exhaust-air mode:
❑The extractor-hood fan extracts the
kitchen vapours and conveys them
through the grease filter into the
atmosphere.
❑The grease filter absorbs the solid
particles in the kitchen vapours.
❑The kitchen is kept almost free of grease
and odours.
DIf the extractor hood is operated in
exhaust-air mode at the same time as a
flue-type heater (e.g. gas, oil or solid-fuel
heater, instantaneous water heater, boiler),
ensure that there is an adequate air
supply which the heater requires for
combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the
partial vacuum in the room in which the
heater is installed does not exceed 4 Pa
(0.04 mbar).

Important information
Installation Instructions:
The installation of the extractor hood
above gas cooking devices, at a
minimum height of 650 mm – Fig. 1 – is
permitted provided that the following
nominal heat loads (Hs) are not exceeded:
❑Gas cookers
Load of one hotplate max. 03.0 kW
Load of all hotplates max. 08.3 kW
Load of the oven max. 03.9 kW
❑Gas hobs
Load of one hotplate max. 03.9 kW
Load of all hotplates max. 11.3 kW
❑Gas ceramic hotplate
The nominal heat load specifications do
not apply to closed gas ceramic hobs.
Always observe the specifications of the
hob manufacturer.
❑Solid-fuel cookers
The maximum nominal heat loads and
the minimum distance are the same as
for gas cookers.
The extractor hood must not be
installed over a solid fuel cooker – a
potential fire hazard (e.g. flying sparks) –
unless the cooker features a closed,
non-removable cover and all national
regulations are observed.
The smaller the gap between the
extractor hood and hotplates, the greater
the likelihood that droplets will form on the
underside of the extractor hood.
Old appliances are not worthless
rubbish. Valuable raw materials can be
reclaimed by recycling old appliances.
Before disposing of your old appliance,
render it unusable.
You received your new appliance in a
protective shipping carton. All packaging
materials are environmentally friendly and
recyclable. Please contribute to a better
environment by disposing of packaging
materials in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
Please ask your dealer or inquire at your
local authority about current means of
disposal.
The extractor hood can be used in
exhaust air or circulating air mode.
Always mount the extractor hood over
the centre of the hob.
Minimum distance between electric
hob and bottom edge of extractor hood:
430 mm, Fig. 1.
Additional information concerning gas
cookers:
When installing gas hotplates, comply
with the relevant national statutory
regulations (e.g. in Germany: Technische
Regeln Gasinstallation TRGI).
Always comply with the currently valid
regulations and installation instructions
supplied by the gas appliance
manufacturer.
Only one side of the extractor hood
may be installed next to a high-sided unit
or high wall. Gap at least 300 mm.

23
Prior to installation
Exhaust-air mode
The exhaust air is discharged upwards
through a ventilation shaft or directly
through the outside wall into the open.
DExhaust air must not be discharged via
a smoke or exhaust gas flue which is
already in use or via a shaft which is used
for ventilating rooms in which fireplaces are
located.
Discharge exhaust air in accordance
with official and statutory regulations
(e.g. national building regulations).
Discharge of air into smoke or exhaust air
flues which are not in use requires the
consent of a heating engineer.
DIf the extractor hood is operated in
exhaust-air mode at the same time as a
flue-type heater (e.g. gas, oil or solid-fuel
heater, instantaneous water heater, boiler),
ensure that there is an adequate air
supply which the heater requires for
combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the
partial vacuum in the room in which the
heater is installed does not exceed 4 Pa
(0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if the combustion air
is able to flow through non-lockable
openings, e.g. in doors, windows and in
conjunction with an air supply/air-intake wall
box or by other technical procedures such
as reciprocal interlocking.
If the air intake is inadequate, there is a
risk of poisoning from combustion gases
which are drawn back into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is
no guarantee that the limiting value will not
be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall
requirement, the combined ventilation
system for the entire household must be
taken into consideration. This rule does not
apply to the use of cooking appliances,
such as hobs and gas cookers.
The extractor hood can be used without
restriction in circulating air mode – with an
activated carbon filter.
For exhaust air mode a one-way flap
should be installed in the extractor hood
unless already installed in the exhaust air
pipe or wall box.
If a one-way flap is not enclosed with the
extractor hood, you purchase one from
your dealer.
If the exhaust air is conveyed through
the outside wall, a telescopic wall box
should be used.
