1.1 For your safety
Damaged appliances must not be operated.
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 supervision.
Fire risk!
Do not flambé meals under the extractor hood!
Only ever deep-fry under the extractor hood under
constant supervision.
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 2 gas-operated rings at
the same time, please operate the extractor
hood at level 2 or higher. This prevents a
uild-up of heat in the appliance.
Do not place any heavy objects on the appliance;
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 corresponding fuse.
If the mains plug is not accessible, the appliance
must be disconnected 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.
afe 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.
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 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).
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. 5).
