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 o serve the assem ly instructions!
–Connecting ca les 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 a ove 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.

1.2 Operating for the first time
Before operating the appliance for the first time,
please pay attention to the following notes:
–The appliance must be installed and connected
by a specialist before it is operated for the first
time.
–The rating plate for this appliance is included
with the instructions on a separate sheet. Store
the rating plate in the same location as your
operating and assembly instructions. You need
the rating plate for possible damage and
warranty cases.
–Conscientiously read through the operating
and assembly instructions before operating the
appliance for the first time.
–Remove the packaging from the appliance and
dispose of it properly. Pay attention to the fact
that there are accessories in the packaging.
Keep packaging elements out of the reach of
children!
–Thoroughly clean the appliance before using it
for the first time. (see chapter entitled “Cleaning
and care”).
–Before operating the appliance for the first
time, check that the mains connection is in
proper working order.
1.3 A out use
–The appliance is intended solely for use in the
household and must not be put to any other uses.
–In the event of malfunctions, first of all check
the household fuses. If the problem has nothing
to do with the power supply, please contact your
specialist dealer or your local Gaggenau after-
sales service.

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. ).
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 6 °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
hours counter to zero; the (Grease filter) symbol
stops flashing.
Do not clean the appliance with a steam cleaning
apparatus or with water pressure because this
poses a risk of short-circuits.

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.
