1.1 For your safety
– Damaged appliances must not be operated.
– The appliance must only be connected by an
authorised specialist, paying attention to
the relevant regulations of the power supply
companies and the regional construction
regulations.
Also o serve the assem ly instructions!
– Connecting cables must not come into contact
with hot cooking surfaces.
– Do not operate the extractor hood without
inserted lamps.
– Never operate the appliance without a grease
filter.
– Hazardous or explosive substances and vapours
must not be extracted!
– The user is responsible for expert use and the
perfect condition of the appliance.
– Only ever operate the appliance under super-
vision.
–Caution! Over-greased filters are a fire risk!
Only ever deep-fry under the extractor under
constant supervision. Pay attention to cleaning
the grease filter on a regular basis.
–Fire risk! Do not flambé meals under the
extractor hood!
– Operation of the extractor hood above a hearth
for solid fuels (coal or wood etc.) is only partly
permitted.
– Gas appliances may only be used under the
extractor hood when pots and pans are placed
on them!
– When using more than 3 gas-operated rings at
the same time, please operate the extractor
hood at level 2 or higher. This prevents a build-
up of heat in the appliance.
– For safety reasons, do not place any heavy
objects on the top of the appliance.
– Do not clean the appliance with a steam
cleaning apparatus or with water pressure
because this poses a risk of short-circuits.
– Isolate the appliance from the mains during
every maintenance operation. To do this, remove
the mains plug or actuate the corresponding
fuse.
If the mains plug is not accessible, the appliance
must be deenergised by means of the domestic
installation fuse.
– Repairs must be carried out by authorised
specialists, thus ensuring electrical safety.
– No warranty claims can be lodged in the event
of damage caused by failure to observe these
instructions.
– Adequate incoming air must be ensured if a
wood, coal, gas or oil heater or an open hearth is
operated in the same room as the one in which
the hood is installed.
– Safe operation is possible whenever the partial
vacuum in the place where the firing equipment
is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved whenever the air needed
for combustion is able to enter through openings
that cannot be sealed, for example in doors,
windows, incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or
other technical means.
– If the appliance is to be operated only with the
window open (to ensure adequate incoming air),
you can use the window switch.
A switch (normally open) is fitted on the window.
On the appliance, this switch is connected to the
window switch terminal on the main electronics.
The appliance can now only be operated when
the window is open.
Important: the window switch must only be
connected by an authorised specialist.
Note: the light function works without restriction.
– After a power failure, the extactor will not go on
again automatically. You can recommence
operation by turning a knob or by pressing any
key.
Technical modifications reserved.

not started to flash.
The stainless steel grease filters can be removed
easily for cleaning (see Fig. 13):
Disconnect the power supply (switch off the fuse).
Grip the grease filter handle and push the slide
towards the rear. Then pull the grease filter
downwards out of the holder; repeat the operation
for the other grease filters.
You can clean the stainless steel grease filters in a
dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 5°C,
where it should be supported vertically to allow
food or rinsing residues to drain off.
If possible, the inner parts of the housing should be
wiped out in hot rinsing water when replacing the
filters.
Caution:
when cleaning the inside of the housing, beware of
protruding parts.
After having cleaned them, re-insert the grease
filters in the wall extractor in reverse order.
Important:
the handles of both grease filters must be
visible after assembly.
Press the Fkey to set the elapsed hours counter to
zero. Flashing of the indicating lamp goes off.
4. Cleaning and care
Fig. 13
Fig. 14

Cleaning the extractor hood
Clean the extractor hood and the aluminium-
design ventilation ducts (LK 530-011/021) with a
soft cloth and mild detergent solution only.
Clean the stainless-steel design ventilation
ducts (LK 530-010/020) with mild detergent
solution and apply stainless steel care agent to the
metal surface using a soft cloth.
Cleaning the glass plates
Apply commercially available window cleaning
agent with a soft, moist cloth. To facilitate cleaning,
you can detach the glass plates as follows:
Detach the grease filters. In the extractor hood, you
will find three openings on the upper side through
which you can lift the glass plates singly with a
blunt object (e.g. handle of a wooden spoon) to
detach them with greater ease.
If they are extremely soiled, the glass plates can be
cleaned in a dishwasher at a maximum temperature
of 55 °C.
Note: when putting the glass plates back in place,
make sure that you do not scratch the chimney.
Replace the glass plates with the printed side
facing down. Position the glass plates at the
chimney side first.
Cleaning the aluminium panel
Clean the control panel with a sponge and mild
detergent solution only. Dry with a soft, dry cloth. Do
not use any strong or caustic cleaning agents or
brushes and abrasive cleaner to clean it. Do not use
strongly alkaline cleaning agents (such as oven
spray) because these are aggressive to the
aluminium surface. Do not use any abrasive
sponges either.

Electrical connection
Pay attention to the rating plate data.
The mains connecting cable must at least
correspond to the type H 05 VV-F G 0,75.
The appliance must only be connected by an
authorised specialist. The specialist is respon-
sible for perfect functioning of the appliance at its
installation location. He must explain the operating
principle of the appliance to the user with refe-
rence to the operating instructions. He must explain
to the user how the appliance can be isolated from
the mains whenever required.
Connection possi ilities
The plug of the connecting cable is inserted into
the socket that is located behind the duct cover on
the wall. If this is not possible, the disconnection of
all the poles of the appliance from the mains must
be achieved by way of the domestic fuse, or by
using an accessible disconnecting device with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm.
6.2 Installation
The applicable regulations of the energy supply
companies and the regional construction
regulations must be observed when installing
the hood.
The minimum distance from the worktop to the
bottom edge of the wall hood is for electrical
appliances 00 mm and for gas appliances 700 mm.
The wall hood was conceived for the exhaust air
mode. The exhaust air can be routed into a
separate exhaust air shaft or directly into the open
through the outside wall.
It is not allowed to pass the exhaust air into a flue
or exhaust air chimney that is in operation or into a
shaft that is linked to the heating basement. Consult
the chimney sweep responsible for your district
whenever you wish to pass the exhaust air into a
chimney that is not in operation.
During the course of planning, a chimney sweep
must be consulted if a room air-dependent hearth
is operated in the same room as the one in which a
hood is operated in the exhaust air mode. Adequate
incoming air must be ensured. The applicable
construction and safety regulations must be
observed.
Adequate incoming air must be ensured if a wood,
coal, gas or oil heater or an open hearth is operated
in the same room as the one in which the hood is
installed.
Safe operation is possible whenever the partial
vacuum in the place where the firing equipment
is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved whenever the air needed for
combustion is able to enter through openings that
cannot be sealed, for example in doors, windows,
incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or other technical
means.
. Assembly instructions

13
Flexible aluminium pipes, corrosion-protected
sheet metal pipes and exhaust air pipes whose
material conforms to fire B1 in accordance with
DIN 4102 can be used. Exhaust air pipes should
have a nominal diameter of 150 mm.
Pay particular attention to ensuring that
– the exhaust air ducts and pipes are kept as short
as possible
– the pipes are not laid at an acute angle, but as
bends and that they are inserted into the shaft at
an inclined upward angle and
– there are no cross-sectional constrictions in the
upward direction (this reduces the volume flow).
As standard, the blow-out opening of the wall hood
is in the upward direction.
To pass exhaust air through the outer wall, we
recommend the use of our telescopic wall box
TM 150-045 (Ø 150).
Note:
To prevent the ingress of water, e.g. condensate or
rain water from an uncovered exhaust air shaft, our
condensate separator RV 0 0-150 must be installed
in the exhaust air line. The condensate separator
must still be acciessible after installation.
The duct units listed below are available
depending on the height of the ceiling:
Stainless steel-design ventilation duct:
LK 530-010 for ceiling heights of 2.20 - 2. m
LK 530-020 for ceiling heights of 2. - 3.15 m
Aluminium-design ventilation duct:
LK 530-011 for ceiling heights of 2.20 - 2. m
LK 530-021 for ceiling heights of 2. - 3.15 m
The dimensions above refer to a distance of 1. 0 m
from the floor to the bottom edge of the hood.
If required, custom made duct units are available at
an extra charge.
The socket must be place behind the duct cover on
the wall.

The following note applies to extractor hood
AH 532-190 or AH 532-120 only; these models
do not have an integrated fan:
The extractor hood can only be used in exhaust air
mode. The exhaust air is conveyed upwards through
an externally attached fan via a ventilation shaft or
directly into the open air through the outer wall.
The extraction function is realised by an external
fan module. We recommend the fan modules
GB 032-107 or GB 052/053-140 from our Gaggenau
range; the extractor's electronic circuitry is
optimised for these fan modules.
For the electrical connection between the extractor
hood and external fan see installation instructions
for the external fan.
For safety reasons, if the connecting cable to
the external fan has been damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or the after sales
service or similarly qualified persons.

Proceed as follows:
– From the bottom edge of the hood, mark a center
line on the wall.
– With the aid of the drilling template, mark the
positions of the screws on the wall (Fig. 19).
– Pay attention to the minimum clearance of 00 mm
for electric cookers and 700 mm for gas cookers.
The bottom edge of the template corresponds to
the bottom from edge of the hood.
– Using the drilling template, drill the holes for
the hood (area I of the drilling template) and the
two holes for suspending the chimney (area II of
the drilling template). In the top two securing
holes for the hood, fix the two hooks dwith the
countersunk screws c. Make sure that the hooks
lie flatly on the wall. In certain circumstances you
may have to countersink the drill holes. Fit the
included dowels ain the other drill holes.
Note: pay attention to any special accessories that
you may have to fit.
– Screw on the retaining bracket for the chimney
paneling.
– Detach the grease filters.
– Hang the hood on the two hooks. Adjust the
suspended element with the recessed head
screw and align the hood using a spirit level
(Fig. 20).
