1. General notes
1.1 Intended use
1.2 Protection of the
environment
1.3 General tips
The appliance is intended for domestic
use. The manufacturer is not responsible
for damage resulting from improper use
or maloperation.
1.2.1 Package
The packing materials are 100% recyc-
lable. Comply with local regulations for
their disposal.
1.2.2 Disposal
If this appliance is a replacement for an
old one, please dispose of your old appli-
ance according to the statutory regulati-
ons. Prior to disposal the appliance must
be rendered unserviceable by cutting o
the power supply cable. The appliance is
to be sent for disposal to the responsible
collection authorities.
The packing materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene moulded parts etc) are dan-
gerous for children. So keep packing ma-
terial out of the reach of children.
Extractor hoods remove unpleasant
odours and vapours and create a ple-
asant room atmosphere. Particles of
grease, steam and also moisture are ab-
sorbed by the grease lter. A correctly
dimensioned extractor hood creates a
pleasant room climate without produ-
cing draughts and ensures a bearable air
humidity of 40-60%.
a) Prior to carrying out cleaning or main-
tenance work the power supply to the ex-
tractor hood is to be cut o by removing
the supply plug or tripping out or remo-
ving the fuse.
b) The air extracted from the hood is not
to be routed over the exhaust air pipeline
Make sure no open re is burning in the
replace before you switch on the appli-
ance or there may be a heavy smoke for-
mation in your home.
Toxic combustion gases can also be
drawn from the chimney or ue, into
living rooms. This can be lethally dan-
gerous!

General notes
2. Before using the hood
3. Using the hood
3.1 Operating safety
information
Ensure that the hood has not suered
damage during transport.
Installation and connection of the elec-
trical supply and the exhaust air must be
carried out by experienced tradesmen
according to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and in compliance with the local
requirements.
The exhaust air hose must not be made
from or contain ammable materials.
• The grease lter must always be
in place when operating the hood,
otherwise grease vapour can become
deposited in the hood and the exhaust
air system.
• With gas hobs, take care that hobs
are not operated without cooking
utensils. Parts of the hood can be
damaged by the rising heat from open
gas ames.
• Flame cooking under the hood is not
permitted due to the re risk. The
rising ame can set re to grease
deposited in the lter.
of the heater or other non-electric opera-
ted appliances.
c) No ambé dishes are to be prepared
under the extractor hood. The open
ames could destroy the hood or even
cause a kitchen re.
d) Never leave pans unwatched when
frying because fat can easily catch re.
e) Constant maintenance guarantees
problem-free operation and optimal
hood performance.
f) If the hood is used together with other
nonelectrically operated appliances, the
room partial vacuum must not exceed 4
Pa (4 x 10-5 bar).
g) Make sure that the room is adequately
ventilated.
h) Regularly clean encrusted food from
appliance surfaces.
i) Regularly clean or replace the lter.

• Due to the re risk, frying or cooking
with oils and fats under the hood is
only to take place under constant
surveillance.
Attention! The risk of self-ignition
increases with oils which have been
used repeatedly used.
Safety
!
Other activities with an open ame
are not permitted. These could dama-
ge the lter or other parts of the appli-
ance or even start a re.
When using the hood in exhaust air
mode
and operating with chimney-dependent
ring methods, (e.g. coal oven) care must
be taken for an adequate supply of fresh
air in the installation location. Always
discuss this with your responsible chim-
ney-sweeping specialist.
If no permanently installed exhaust air
pipeline or exhaust air sha is available,
you must operate the hood in circulation
air mode. (see chapter 12.1)
3.2 In exhaust air mode
3.3 In circulation air mode
The extracted air is emitted outdoors via
the exhaust hose.
For this purpose your house must have
an exhaust air sha or an exhaust air
pipeline leading outdoors.
Switch on the appliance a few minutes
prior to commencing cooking.
It is recommended with both exhaust
and circulation air modes to run the fan a
further ca. 5 to 10 minutes aer cooking.
This will free the kitchen air of any remai-
ning steam and odours.
1. For improved hood performance, pull
out the steam collector (where tted).
2. Set the fan speed according to the
amount of smoke and odours to be ext-
racted.
3. Operate the hood for another ca. 5 to
10 minutes aer nishing cooking.
4. Ret the steam collector (where t-
ted).
Aer-run function
If your appliance is tted with an aer-
run function, this can be activated by
an additional key on the control panel
(chapter 9).
The inlet air is ltered through a carbon
lter (also known as active carbon lter)
and circulated in the room. The carbon
lter captures the odours produced
through cooking.
The ltered air is circulated back into the
kitchen through air openings at the side
or on the top.
If the hood is used in circulation air
mode, it is absolutely safe to simultane-
ously operate a room air-dependent re.

Care and cleaning
!
4. Care and cleaning
4.1 Changing the grease lter
• Change paper grease lters monthly.
• Change paper grease lters with
alarm everytwo months or when the
colour of the surface becomes visible
through the mesh openings. This lter
is coloured on one side; aer tting,
this colouring must not be visible
through the mesh openings.
Prior to any maintenance or cleaning
work, isolate the hood from the electrical
supply by:
pulling out the appliance connector plug
or tripping the house installation circuit
breaker or fully unscrew the screw type
fuse from the house installation
• The extractor hood is not to be clea-
ned with a steam cleaner.
• Do not use cleaning agents containing
alcohol to clean appliances with a
matt black nish. These can lead to
discolouring.
• Non-compliance with the mainte-
nance and cleaning instructions can
result in a re hazard due to grease
deposits.
• The grease lters on your appliance
are to be cleaned or replaced at regu-
lar intervals.
• Filters saturated with grease can
quickly catch re and also distribute
unpleasant odours.
• Grease lters obstructed by dirt par-
ticles seriously impair the appliance
function.
• When cleaning the area of the control
elements, take great care to prevent
water entering the electronics.
Special information for appliances
with a stainless steel casing
A commercially available non-abrasive
stainless steel cleaning agent should be
used for cleaning stainless steel surfaces.
Treatment with a stainless steel preser-
vative is recommended to prevent sur-
faces becoming quickly re-soiled. Apply
the agent all over and economically
using a so cloth.
Never use stainless steel cleaning
agents in the vicinity of the control
elements.
When cleaning metal grease lters take
care not to damage the mesh. Frequent
cleaning or the use of aggressive cleaning
agents can cause colour changes to the
metal surface. These do not aect the
lter function and are not grounds for
complaint.

• Foam grease lters must be soaked
once a month in warm soapy water for
1 to 2 hours. Do not wring out; repeat
where required and replace the lter
by a new item aer a maximum of 5-6
washes.
• Metal grease lters do not have to be
replaced when they are over-satura-
ted but washed once a month by hand
or in a dishwasher (60°). Allow the
lter to dry thoroughly and carefully
replace it in the extractor hood.
Avoid using alkaline dishwasher
cleaning agents (ph value over 7).
When changing a lamp, make sure that
the new lamp does not have a higher
wattage than that of the original.

4.2 Carbon lters
a) Traditional carbon lters (normally
round in shape) can be neither washer
nor regenerated. In normal use and de-
pending on their size, replace every 4 to
6 months. Comply with the relevant ins-
tructions on the package.
b) Washable and regeneratable carbon
lters (normally square in shape) are
to be washed once a month in a dish-
washer, using a standard rinsing agent
and with the intensive rinsing program
(at the highest temperature). Washable
and regeneratable carbon lters absorb
kitchen odours for a maximum of 3 years
when cleaned monthly. The lter should
then be replaced by a new item.
Washable and regeneratable carbon l-
ters should be washed separately to avo-
id food residue deposits which can later

cause unpleasant odours. Aer washing,
the washable and regeneratable carbon
lter must be reactivated. This is carried
out by drying the cleaned lter in an oven
for 10 minutes at 100°C.
Read the package to see whether your
carbon lter is washable and regenera-
table.
If the package carries no information,
then it contains a traditional, non-was-
hable carbon lter.
Each time you change or wash a grea-
se lter or carbon lter, aer removal
clean all exposed lower parts of the hood
with a mild grease solvent. For the daily
cleaning of the outer pats of the hood use
a so cloth moistened with alcohol or a
mild liquid cleaner. Never use an abrasi-
ve cleaner.
There is a risk of re if the instructions
for cleaning the hood and the changing
or cleaning of the lters are not complied
with.

If all the above checks fail to remedy the
fault, it is possible you have a more seri-
ous problem.
In no circumstances try to repair the
electronic/electrical components in the
appliance.
Contact your Customer Service.
Motor problems
• Is there a power supply failure?
• Is the plug properly inserted in the
socket?
• Has a fuse blown?
The hood capacity is insuicient
/ operating noise has increased:
• Is the size of the exhaust air pipeline
suicient?
• Is the exhaust air duct blocked?
• The cross section of the air pipeline
(from the hood to the wall box incl.)
should be 150 mm.
• A smaller air pipeline cross-section
can possibly impair the motor power.
• The air ow can be obstructed if the
wall box is tted with a y mesh.
• If this is the case remove the y mesh.
• If the cover plate of the wall box
has xed, very inclined louvres, you
should remove the plate to check
whether this solves the problem.
• Mount a cover plate with movable lou-
vres in the wall box, as this will least
obstruct the air ow.
• Is / are the lter(s) clean?
• Was / were the carbon lter(s)
installed more than six months ago?
Then this/these should be changed.
• Is the air taken from the kitchen being
replaced by suicient fresh air, so that
no partial vacuum is being produced
in the room?
When the lightning fails:
• Does the lamp need changing?
• Has the lamp been properly tted and
seated in the holder up to the stop?
• Is the fuse blown or has the circuit
breaker tripped out?

exactly complied with (see chapter 7.1
“Installation data“) and follow the num-
bering of the steps and the additional
instructions. Execution with air exhaus-
ted outdoors (A- see also the installation
data). The vapours are extracted via an
air exhaust hose xed to the connector
ring.
The diameter of the exhaust air hose
must conform to that of the connector
ring. If a smoke non-return valve is used
or is planned, check whether it can open
and close freely aer the installation of
the exhaust air hose. The extractor hood
can be equipped with one (top) or two
(top and back) extractor openings.
The hood is normally initially tted out
for use of the top extractor opening, as
an extractor hood.
Openings not required are tted with a
plastic cover. This plastic cover can be
easily removed by turning counterclock-
wise and optionally tted to another ope-
ning which is not required.

Only connect the appliance to the power
supply once it is properly installed.
7.2 Using the extractor hood as
an exhaust air hood (with air
extracted to outdoors)
If the extractor hood has been tted at
the factory with a carbon lter, this must
be removed. It is only practicable to use
this when operating your hood in circu-
lation mode.
7.3 Converting the extractor
hood to a circulation hood
If you wish to use an appropriately tted
hood as a circulation hood, you must
mount the active carbon lter(s) to the
fan motor before using the hood. The ac-
tive carbon lter(s) is/are included in the
scope of supply with some models.
Otherwise you must obtain the active
carbon lter(s) from the supplier of your
extractor hood. You must also change
your hood over to the „Filter position“ at
the device provided (lever or ball hand-
le).
7.4 Electrical connection
Before connecting the extractor hood,
check that the voltage stated on the ra-
ting plate (V) agrees with the supply vol-
tage in your home.
If the appliance is not tted with a con-
nector plug, a two-pole switch, confor-
ming to standards with a minimum open
contact gap of 3 mm is to be installed by
an authorized tradesman in an easily ac-
cessible location.
7.5 Mounting the carbon lter
You will nd the mounting instructions
for the carbon lter in its packaging. To
mount the carbon lter, remove the gre-
ase lter(s), t the carbon lter according
to its mounting instructions and ret the
grease lter(s).
7.5 Mounting the extractor hood
See chapter 16. or where applicable the
separately supplied mounting instruc-
tions.

11. Exhaust air pipeline
1: Air outlet to outdoors
2: Air outlet via an air sha
• The exhaust air line should be as short
and straight as possible.
• To avoid excessive noise or a reduced
extraction capacity the diameter of
the exhaust air pipeline should not be
less than 150 mm.
• Use or form only large radius bends.
Small radius bends reduce the extrac-
tion capacity of the hood.
• Use only smooth pipelines or exible
hoses of non-ammable materials for
the exhaust air pipeline
• If the exhaust air pipeline is horizon-
tally routed, there must be a minimum
gradient of 1 cm per metre or an inc-
lination angle of 2°. (Fig. C) Otherwise
condensation water could run into the
extractor hood motor.
• If the exhaust air is directed into an
exhaust air duct, the end of the entry
tting must be directed in the direc-
tion of ow.
• If the exhaust air pipeline is routed
though cool rooms, los etc. there can
be a large temperature drop within
the individual parts of the pipeline,
resulting in sweating or condensation
water production. This renders outlet
pipeline insulation necessary.
• In some cases a condensation water
barrier must be installed in addition
to adequate insulation
The manufacturer is constantly engaged
in the further improvement of his pro-
ducts. Please note that products are sub-
ject to changes in form, equipment and
