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).

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 two 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.
Cleaning the aluminium panel
Clean the aluminium panel with a soft cloth only. 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.
Clean the stainless steel parts of the extractor
hood (side panel, ventilation duct) with mild rinsing
detergent and apply stainless steel care agent to
the metal surfaces using a soft cloth.

6.1 Technical data
Weight: 41 kg without ventilation duct
Dimensions: 1198 x 560 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.
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. He must explain to the user how the
appliance can be isolated from the mains whenever
required.
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.
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.
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 650 mm and for gas appliances 750 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.
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.

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.
Planning note:
When installing the hood between wall cupboards it
is advisable to leave a space of at least 5 cm on
both sides of the hood.
Depending on the ceiling height, the following duct
units are at your disposal for exhaust air operation:
–LK 360-010: Ventilation duct for a ceiling height
of 2.35 to 2.66 m
–LK 360-020: Ventilation duct for a ceiling height
of 2.66 - 3.00 m
The dimensions above refer to a distance of 1.60 m
from the floor to the bottom edge of the hood.
If required, special ventilation ducts are available at
an extra charge.
The socket must be place behind the duct cover on
the wall.
