Warning and Safety Instructions
6

When connecting the hood to an ex-
ternal vent, make sure that there is
adequate ventilation in the room
where the exhaust hood is to be
used.
When using the hood in the same area
as other appliances requiring room air
(e.g. non-electric water heaters, gas
cooktops, gas ovens, etc.) make cer-
tain that the air extracted by the hood
does not hinder their operation. These
appliances need air for combustion.
Adequate ventilation can be main-
tained by installing air vents in windows
or walls or by ensuring that the hood
can only be turned on when the other
appliances are off, or vice versa.
To prevent combustion gases being
drawn back into the room by the ex-
haust hood, the underpressure in the
room must be no greater than 0.0006 psi
(0.04 mbar) when the hood and these
appliances are running simultaneously.
If there are any doubts as to whether
there is adequate ventilation, consult
an experienced professional.
Disposal of old appliances
Before discarding an old appliance,
remove its power cord and any doors
to prevent it from becoming a hazard.

Description of the functions
The hood works
. . . by air extraction:
The air is drawn in, cleaned by an exter-
nal filter and then passed through an in-
ternal filter before being directed out-
side.
The hood has a non-return flap , (see
"Installation").
This flap is closed when the hood is
off. No exchange of room air and out-
side air can take place. When the
hood is turned on the non-return flap
opens for the cooking odors to be
blown outside.
. . . by air recirculaton:
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the external filter, then by the internal fil-
ter before passing through an active
charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen
through a vent in the top of the hood.
Before using the hood for the first
time in recirculation mode, make
sure that the active charcoal filter is
in place. See Section on "Cleaning
and care".

supply by either removing the fuse,
unplugging it, or manually ”tripping”
the circuit breaker.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or re-
pair work is performed.
Housing
Lacquered surfaces can be cleaned
using a solution of hot water and liquid
dish soap and dried with a soft cloth.
For stainless steel surfaces a mild non-
abrasive stainless steel cleaner can be
used.
Never use abrasive cleaners, scour-
ing pads, steel wool or caustic
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They
will damage the surface.
Grease filters
The re-usable metal filters catch any
grease, dust or other solid particles
that are pulled into it by the fan.
The hood has an external filter which is
visible on the underside of the ap-
pliance. An internal filter is situated
above it in the appliance.
The filters should be cleaned when the
grease filter indicator illuminates.
To prevent grease build up, both filters
should be cleaned every 3 to 4 weeks,
regardless of use.
Important! Always clean both filters.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
