1. Important notes
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 observe the assembly 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.
–Do not place any heavy objects on the appli-
ance; this will have a detrimental effect on
functioning.
–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 correspon-
ding 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 equip-
ment 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.

2.3 Operating principle
This extractor hood swiftly and silently extracts
all odours produced while cooking. You can set
different intensity levels depending on the intensity
of odours.
The exhaust air first passes through the integrated
grease filter. The grease filter intercepts and traps
the grease and odour particles in the air.
In the exhaust air mode:
The fan in the extractor hood sucks in the kitchen
vapours and passes them through the grease filter
to outdoors. The grease filter absorbs the greasy
components in the kitchen vapours (see Fig. 4).
In the air recirculation mode:
An activated charcoal filter (special accessory)
must be installed. The fan in the extractor hood
sucks in kitchen vapours and returns them to
the kitchen after purification in the grease and
activated charcoal filter. The grease filter absorbs
the greasy components in the kitchen vapours.
The activated charcoal filter binds odour particles
(see Fig. 5).
The “Coanda effect”
Kitchen vapours are extracted even better with the
“Coanda effect”. By means of an additional motor,
kitchen vapours are passed swiftly and effectively
into the hood’s extraction zone. An additional fan
on the front edge of the kitchen extractor hood
generates an air stream that is diverted around a
cylinder towards the rear. This ensures that kitchen
vapours are routed completely into the extractor
hood’s filter area (see Fig. 6).

Cleaning the grease filters:
The (Grease filter saturation) symbol flashes
on the display after an operating time of 30 hours.
Flashing of this symbol signals to you that the
grease filters have to be cleaned. The grease filters
can be cleaned at any time, even if the (Grease
filter saturation) symbol does not flash. The metal
filters can be removed easily for cleaning.
Proceed as follows:
–Grip the grease filter handles and press the
slide towards the rear.
–Pull the grease filter out of its mount in the
downward direction (Fig. 13).
–Repeat the operation with the other grease
filters.
You can clean the metal grease filters in a
dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 65 °C.
Place the grease filters vertically in the dishwasher
to ensure that no food remainders will stay on them.
Slight discoloration can occur when cleaning the
grease filters in a dishwasher.
When replacing the grease filters, wipe out
the inner part of the housing with hot detergent
solution.
Reinsert the grease filters in the hood after
cleaning. Install them in the reverse order to
removal.
Press the (Grease filter) key to set the elapsed

4. Cleaning and care
Note:
The handles of the grease filters must be visible
after installation. They can no longer be removed
if the handles are in the inner part of the housing.
Fig. 13

Air recirculation
If, when purchasing the extractor hood, you have
decided in favour of the air recirculation mode,
the activated charcoal filter KF 600-090 must be
replaced after a certain amount of hood operation.
Note: The activated charcoal filter is not included
in the scope of delivery of the hood.
Activated charcoal filters do not contain any
polluting substances. Old activated charcoal filters
can be disposed of as domestic waste. If used once
daily, the activated charcoal filter must be replaced
approximately once to twice every year. First
remove the grease filter. Press out the two tabs in
the downward direction and remove the activated
charcoal filter from the hood in the downward
direction (see Fig. 14). Replace the old activated
charcoal filter by the new one. Install in the reverse
order.
Cleaning the extractor hood
Clean the stainless steel parts of the extractor
hood with mild rinsing detergent and apply
stainless steel care agent to the metal surfaces
using a soft cloth.
Clean the two glass plates in a dishwasher.
Do not use any strong or caustic cleaning agents or
brushes and abrasive cleaner.
Do not use any abrasive sponges either. Use
commercially available window cleaner and apply
it to a soft, moist cloth.
Only clean the switch panel with a soft cloth. Do
not use any cleaning agent as it might be agressive
to the inscription markings.

6.1 Technical data
Weight: 28 kg
Dimensions: 898 x 520 mm
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.
When replacing the mains cable, you must
dismantle the tubular connection piece (undo
2 screws).
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 possibilities
The extractor hood was conceived for the exhaust
air or air recirculation mode. The exhaust air can be
routed into a separate exhaust air shaft or directly
into the open through the outside wall.
The connector of the connecting cable is connec-
ted to the socket that is located behind the duct
cover on the wall. If this is not possible, it must be
possible to isolate all poles of the appliance from
the mains by way of the domestic fuse, or by means
of accessible isolating 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 600 mm and for gas appliances 670 mm.
The wall hood was conceived for the exhaust air
or air recirculation 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.

160W 35W 3x50W

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 060-150 must be installed
in the exhaust air line. The condensate separator
must still be acciessible after installation.
