•The extractor-hood fan extracts the
kitchen vapours and conveys them through the
grease filter into the atmosphere.
•The grease filter absorbs the solid
particles in the kitchen vapours.
•The kitchen is kept almost free of grease and
odours.
When the extractor hood is operated in exhaust-
air mode simultaneously with a different burner
which also makes use of the same chimney (such
as gas, oil or coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow
heaters, hot-water boilers) care must be taken to
ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh
air which will be needed by the burner for
combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the
underpressure in the room where the burner is
installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow
through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors,
windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box
or by other technical measures, such as reciprocal
interlocking, etc.
If the air intake is inadequate, there is a risk of
poisoning from combustion gases which are
drawn back into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no
guarantee that the limiting value will not be
exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the
combined ventilation system for the entire
household must be taken into consideration. This
rule does not apply to the use of cooking
appliances, such as hobs and ovens.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the extractor
hood is used in recirculating mode – with activated
carbon filter.

•An activated carbon filter must be fitted for this
operating mode (see Filters and maintenance).
•The extractor-hood fan extracts the kitchen
vapours which are purified in the grease filter
and activated carbon filter and then conveyed
back into the kitchen.
•The grease filter absorbs the grease
particles in the kitchen vapours.
•The activated carbon filter binds the odorous
substances.
몇If no activated carbon filter is installed, it is not
possible to bind the odorous substances in the
cooking vapours.

Coanda effect
•You do not need to activate the Coanda effect.
The Coanda air flow is always active at every
fan level. Cooking vapours are extracted
particularly well at the front of the cooking field.
•The Coanda effect may allow you to operate the
extractor hood at a lower, quieter level than you
were previously accustomed to.
•The Coanda air flow exits the top of the
extractor hood’s front panel. Do not place any
objects on the extractor hood: these may
disrupt the Coanda effect.

hood.
Risk of grease filter catching fire due to flames.
The hotplates must always be covered with a
utensil.
The extractor hood must not be operated above a
solid-fuel or gas fire (coal, wood, etc.) (see
installation instructions).
Do not operate all hotplates simultaneously over a
prolonged period (max. 15 minutes) at maximum
thermal load, otherwise there is a risk of burns from
touching the housing surfaces or a risk of damaging
the extractor hood. When operating the extractor
hood above a hob, operate the hood at maximum
setting if three or more hotplates are on at the same
time.
Do not use the appliance if damaged.
The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirmed persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure they

Operating procedure
Fan OFF Saturation indicator
Light
Fan follow-on
Intensive setting
The most effective method of removing vapours
produced during cooking is to:
•Switch the ventilator ON as soon as you begin
cooking.
•Switch the ventilator OFF a few minutes after
you have finished cooking.
Fam settings

Switching the fan ON:
•Press the 1, 2, 3 or Int button.
Switching the fan OFF:
•Press the 0button.
Intensive setting
Maximum power is obtained at the intensive setting.
It is only required for short intervals.
•The Int key for the intensive level should be
pressed when browning and frying in an open
pan.
If you have switched on the hood by selecting
the intensive level, it will be switched off again
automatically after 5 minutes.
•If you press the Int key while the hood is
running at fan level 1, 2 or 3, the electronic
control will switch back automatically to the
previously selected fan level after 5 minutes.
•If you would like to end the intensive level
before the five minutes have elapsed, press the
0key (“Motor off”) or select a different level. It
is possible to switch off the extraction function
at any time by pressing the 0key (motor “off”).
Special functions
Intensive time:
•You can set the intensive level running time to
3, 5 or 10 minutes by simultaneously pressing
the Int key and the 1, 2 or 3key and you can
store this setting. When delivered, the
appliance is set to five minutes, i.e. the
combination of the Int key and the key 2.
Fan follow-on:
•Delayed shut-off is possible at any level. First
press the required key 1, 2, 3 or Int and then
press the key.
The delayed shut-off time for all levels is ten
minu-tes. After these ten minutes, the
ventilation switches off, but the lighting stays
on.
Interval ventilation:
•Interval ventilation is a special feature of this
appliance which periodically activates the fan
for five minutes every hour. You can activate
this function by simultaneously pressing the 0
key and, depending on the required extraction
capacity, the 1, 2 or 3key.
This mode of operation is indicated by
alternating illumination of the key together
with the corresponding fan level indicator.
You can switch off interval ventilation by
pressing the 0 key.
Lighting:
•Briefly press the button to switch the light
on and off.
•The light can be switched on at any time, even
though the fan is switched off.
•Adjusting the brightness:
Hold down the button until the desired
brightness is obtained.

Grease filters
Metal filters are used to trap the greasy element
of the vapours that develop during cooking.
The filter mats are made from non-combustible
metal.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more saturated with
grease, not only does the risk of it catching fire
increase but the efficiency of the extractor hood
can also be adversely affected.
Important:
By cleaning the metal grease filters at appropriate
intervals, the possibility of them catching fire as a
result of a build-up of heat such as occurs when
deep-fat frying or roasting is taking place, is
reduced.
Saturation indicator: F
The grease filter saturation display F flashes
after an operating time of 30 hours to you
indicate to you that you should clean the grease
filter. The grease filters can of course be cleaned
at any time, even if the grease filter saturation
display has not started to flash.
Cleaning the metal grease filters:
•In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily), the
metal grease filter must be cleaned
1 x a month.
•The filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher. It is
however possible that they will become slightly
discoloured.
•The filter must be placed loosely, and NOT
wedged, in the dishwasher.
Important:
Metal filters that are saturated with grease
should not be washed together with other
dishes etc.
•When cleaning the filters by hand, soak them in
hot soapy water first of all.
Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic
cleaners.
Then brush the filters clean, rinse them
thoroughly and leave the water to drain off.
Removing and inserting the metal grease filters:
IMPORTANT: The lighting must be switched OFF
and cool.
1Press the catch on the grease filters inwards
and fold the filters down.
At the same time take hold of the underside of
the grease filters with your other hand.
2Clean the filters.
3Insert the clean filters back into the hood.
4Cancel the F in the display.
– Press the button F.
