The ventilation hood works by air
extraction. The air is drawn in and
cleaned by the grease filter and
directed outside.
The hood comes equipped with a
non-return flap. This flap automatically
closes when the hood is turned off so
that no exchange of outside air and
room air can occur. When the hood is
turned on, the air pressure of the
exhaust fan automatically opens the
flap blowing the inside air and cooking
odors outside.

hood, disconnect it from the power
supply, see "Important Safety
Instructions".
,The halogen bulbs are very hot
when in use. They stay hot for some
time after turned off. Use caution,
danger of burns.
Wet cleaning the hot bulbs will
cause damage.
Wait a few minutes after turning
them off before cleaning.
Cleaning the casing
,Never use abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They
will damage the surface.
^The air intake panel, exterior surfaces
and controls can be cleaned with a
mild solution of warm water and
liquid dish soap applied with a soft
sponge.
^Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Only use a slightly damp sponge
when cleaning the controls. Water
could penetrate into the electronics
and cause damage.
^Glass surfaces can be cleaned using
glass cleaner.
Avoid:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
–abrasive cleaning agents
e.g. powder or cream cleansers,
–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents,
–limescale removers.
These will damage the surface.
The following instructions for cleaning
"Stainless steel" surfaces and "Stainless
steel colored controls" should be
followed in addition to the general
"Cleaning the casing" instructions.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
