•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.

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.
Filters and maintenance

Activated carbon filter
For neutralizing odours in recirculating mode.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more
saturated with grease, there is an increased risk of
fire and the function of the extractor hood may be
impaired.
Important:
Change the activated carbon filter promptly to
prevent the risk of fire from the
accumulation of heat when deep-fat frying or
roasting.
Installation and removal:
IMPORTANT: The lighting must be switched OFF
and cool..
1Remove the metal-mesh filters (see "Removing
and inserting the metal-mesh grease filters").
2Insert the activated carbon filter.
3Insert the metal grease filters (see "Removing
and inserting the metal grease filters").
Replacing the activated carbon filter:
•During normal operation (1 to 2 hours per day)
the activated carbon filters should be replaced
approximately 1 x year.
•A replacement filter can be obtained from any
authorized dealer (see optional
accessories).
•Use original filters only.
By doing so you will obtain maximum
performance from your extractor hood.
Disposing of the old activated carbon filter:
•There are no pollutants in the activated carbon
filters. They can therefore be
disposed of as part of your normal domestic
refuse.

12
Isolate the extractor hood by pulling out the
mains plug or switching off the fuse.
몇Do not clean the extractor hood with abrasive
sponges or with cleaning agents which contain
sand, soda, acid or chlorine!

The extractor hood can be used in exhaust air or
circulating air mode.
Always mount the extractor hood over the centre of
the hob.
Minimum distance between electric hob and bottom
edge of extractor hood 550 mm, Fig. 1.
The extractor hood must not be installed over a
solid fuel cooker – a potential fire hazard (e.g. flying
sparks) – unless the cooker features a closed, non-
removable cover and all national regulations are
observed.
The smaller the gap between the extractor hood and
hotplates, the greater the likelihood that droplets
will form on the underside of the extractor hood.
Additional information concerning gas cookers:
When installing gas hotplates, comply with the
relevant national statutory regulations (e.g. in
Germany: Technische Regeln Gasinstallation
TRGI).
Always comply with the currently valid regulations
and installation instructions supplied by the gas
appliance manufacturer.

Prior to installation
The exhaust air is discharged upwards through a
ventilation shaft or directly through the outside wall
into the open.
Exhaust air should neither be directed into a smoke
or exhaust flue that is currently used for other
purposes, nor into a shaft that is used for
ventilating rooms in which stoves or fireplaces are
also located.
Exhaust air may be discharged in accordance
with official and statutory regulations only (e.g.
national building regulations).
Local authority regulations must be observed when
discharging air into smoke or exhaust flues that are
not otherwise in use.
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.
If the exhaust air is going to be discharged into
the open, a telescopic wall box should be fitted into
the outside wall.

For optimum extractor hood efficiency:
•Short, smooth air exhaust pipe.
•As few bends in the pipe as possible.
•Diameter of pipe to be as large as possible and
no tight bends in pipe.
If long, rough exhaust-air pipes, many pipe
bends or smaller pipe diameters are used,
the air extraction rate will no longer be at an
optimum level and there will be an increase
in noise.
몇The manufacturer of the extractor hoods
accepts no liability for complaints which can
be attributed to the design and layout of the
pipework.
•Round pipes:
We recommend
Internal diameter: 150 mm.
•Flat ducts must have an internal cross-section
that equates to that of round pipes.
There should be no sharp bends.
