m Important safety information
Read these instructions carefully. Only then will
you be able to operate your appliance safely and
correctly. Retain the instruction manual and
installation instructions for future use or for
subsequent owners.
The appliance can only be used safely if it is
correctly installed according to the safety
instructions. The installer is responsible for
ensuring that the appliance works perfectly at its
installation location.
This appliance is intended for domestic use and
the household environment only. The appliance
is not intended for use outside. Do not leave the
appliance unattended during operation. The
manufacturer is not liable for damage which is
caused by improper use or incorrect operation.
This appliance may be used by children over the
age of 8 years old and by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or by
persons with a lack of experience or knowledge
if they are supervised or are instructed by a
person responsible for their safety how to use
the appliance safely and have understood the
associated hazards.
Children must not play with, on, or around the
appliance. Children must not clean the
appliance or carry out general maintenance
unless they are at least 8 years old and are
being supervised.
Keep children below the age of 8 years old at a
safe distance from the appliance and power
cable.
Check the appliance for damage after
unpacking it. Do not connect the appliance if it
has been damaged in transport.
This appliance is not intended for operation with
an external clock timer or a remote control.
Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children.
Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
Danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are drawn
back in.
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if
the appliance is being operated in exhaust air
mode at the same time as room air-dependent
heat-producing appliance is being operated.
Room air-dependent heat-producing appliances
(e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-operated heaters,
continuous flow heaters or water heaters) obtain
combustion air from the room in which they are
installed and discharge the exhaust gases into
the open air through an exhaust gas system (e.g.
a chimney).
In combination with an activated vapour
extractor hood, room air is extracted from the
kitchen and neighbouring rooms - a partial
vacuum is produced if not enough fresh air is
supplied. Toxic gases from the chimney or the
extraction shaft are sucked back into the living
space.
▯Adequate incoming air must therefore
always be ensured.
▯An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will
not ensure compliance with the limit.
Safe operation is possible only when the partial
vacuum in the place where the heat-producing
appliance is installed does not exceed 4 Pa
(0.04 mbar). This can be achieved when 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 by other technical means.

4
In any case, consult your responsible Master
Chimney Sweep. He is able to assess the
house's entire ventilation setup and will suggest
the suitable ventilation measures to you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapour
extractor hood is operated exclusively in the
circulating-air mode.
Risk of fire!
▯Grease deposits in the grease filter may
catch fire.
Clean the grease filter at least once a
month.
Never operate the appliance without the
grease filter.
Risk of fire!
▯Grease deposits in the grease filter may
catch fire. Never work with naked flames
close to the appliance (e.g. flambéing). Do
not install the appliance near a heat-
producing appliance for solid fuel (e.g. wood
or coal) unless a closed, non-removable
cover is available. There must be no flying
sparks.
Risk of fire!
▯Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never
leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use
water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch off
the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully
using a lid, fire blanket or something similar.
Risk of fire!
▯When gas burners are in operation without
any cookware placed on them, they can
build up a lot of heat. A ventilation appliance
installed above the cooker may become
damaged or catch fire. Only operate the gas
burners with cookware on them.
Risk of fire!
▯Operating several gas burners at the same
time gives rise to a great deal of heat. A
ventilation appliance installed above the
cooker may become damaged or catch fire.
Never operate two gas burners
simultaneously on the highest flame for
longer than 15 minutes. One large burner of
more than 5 kW (wok) is equivalent to the
power of two gas burners.
Risk of burns!
The accessible parts become very hot when in
operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children
at a safe distance.
Risk of injury!
▯Edges of the appliance at head height. Be
careful not to hit your head against the
appliance. Make sure that you allow
sufficient headroom when cooking.
Risk of injury!
▯In general parts such as oil collector, filters,
chimney must be manipulated cautiously.
Risk of injury!
▯Components inside the appliance may have
sharp edges. Wear protective gloves.
Risk of injury!
▯Items placed on the appliance may fall down.
Do not place any objects on the appliance.
Risk of injury!
▯The light emitted by LED lights is very
dazzling, and can damage the eyes (risk
group 1). Do not look directly into the
switched on LED lights for longer than 100
seconds.
Risk of electric shock!
▯A defective appliance may cause electric
shock. Never switch on a defective
appliance. Unplug the appliance from the
mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the
fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
Risk of electric shock!
▯Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs
may only be carried out and damaged power
cables replaced by one of our trained after-
sales technicians. If the appliance is
defective, unplug the appliance from the
mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the
fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
Risk of electric shock!
▯Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or
steam cleaners, which can result in an
electric shock.

5
Causes of damage
Caution!
Risk of damage due to corrosion. Always switch on the
appliance while cooking to avoid condensation.
Condensate can produce corrosion damage.
Risk of damage due to ingress of humidity into the
electronic circuitry. Never clean operator controls with a
wet cloth.
Surface damage due to incorrect cleaning. Clean
stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the grain
only. Do not use any stainless steel cleaners for
operator controls.
Surface damage due to strong or abrasive cleaning
agents. Never use strong and abrasive cleaning agents.
Risk of damage from returning condensate. Install the
exhaust duct in such a way that it falls away from the
appliance slightly (1° slope).
Environmental protection
Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here
you can find tips on how to save even more energy when
using the appliance, and how to dispose of your
appliance properly.
Saving energy
▯During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient
supply of air so that the extractor hood can work
efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
▯Adjust the fan speed to the intensity of the cooking
fumes. Only use intensive mode where this is
required. A lower fan speed means that less energy
is consumed.
▯If there are intensive cooking fumes, select a higher
fan speed in good time. If cooking fumes have
already spread in the kitchen, the extractor hood
must be operated for longer.
▯Switch off the extractor hood if you no longer
require it.
▯Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
▯Clean and, if required, replace the filter at regular
intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of
the ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning
used electrical and electronic appliances
(waste electrical and electronic equipment -
WEEE). The guideline determines the
framework for the return and recycling of used
appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

6
Operating the appliance
Note: Switch on the extractor hood when you start
cooking and switch it off again several minutes after you
have finished cooking. This is the most effective way of
removing the kitchen fumes.
Setting the fan
