Safety precautions
Before using for the first time
䡲The appliance must be installed and connected up to the electricity supply in ac-
cordance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary work should be
done by a qualified fitter or electrician.
䡲Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.
䡲Ensure the metal grease filters are properly installed.
Correct use
䡲The appliance is designed for use in the home for extracting fumes from above the
cooking surface.
䡲Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially any elec-
trical parts, should only be carried out by the manufacturer, its Customer Services
or similarly qualified persons. Repairs if carried out incorrectly may cause serious
injury, damage to the appliance and fittings, as well as affect the functioning of
the appliance. If the appliance is not working properly or in case of a repair order,
follow the instructions given in the repair service section. Please contact Customer
Services if necessary.
䡲Use original spare parts only.
䡲Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass the ap-
pliance on to a third party, please ensure these operating instructions accompany
the appliance, together with the instructions on installation. In this way, the new
owner can inform themselves about how to use the appliance correctly and read
the pertinent safety precautions.
The appliance corresponds to recognised technology stan
dards and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the
appliance is essential to avoid damage and accidents. Please
follow the tips given in these operating instructions.

…Safety precautions

Children in the home
䡲Packaging material (e.g. plastic, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Dan-
ger of suffocation! Please keep packaging material away from children.
䡲The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these operating
instructions. Children are often unable to recognise the danger of electrical ap-
pliances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow children to play with the ap-
pliance – there is a danger that children can hurt themselves.
Use
䡲If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer Services.
䡲If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the electricity supply
immediately.
䡲Do not flambé food underneath the hood, as the metal grease filters, if laden with
grease, could catch fire through this.
䡲If frying on the cooking surface, do not leave the frying appliance unattended. The
cooking oil in the frying appliance could overheat and catch fire. Constantly
monitor the temperature of the cooking oil, keeping it below the temperature at
which it can catch fire. Change the cooking oil regularly – dirty oil catches fire
easier than clean oil.
䡲Clean the filters regularly. Failure to do so, can increase the fire hazard due to the
build-up of grease in the metal grease filter.
䡲To avoid damage to the appliance or the kitchen fittings through the build-up of
heat. The individual cooking zones of the cooking surface should only be operated
provided there is a full pan, etc., on the top, so that the appliance and the kitchen
fittings. Avoid open fires with oil, gas, wood and coal fired cookers.
䡲When the extraction fan is on, always ensure there is adequate ventilation so as
to avoid low pressure conditions in the kitchen and to achieve optimal air
extraction.

…Safety precautions
7
䡲When carrying out maintenance work on the appliance, including replacing light
bulbs, cut off the electricity supply to the appliance (remove the screw fuse from the
holder or switch the circuit breaker off, or disconnect from the mains supply).
䡲When cleaning the appliance make sure no water gets inside the appliance. Use
a moderately damp cloth. Do not spray the inside or outside of the appliance with
water. Do not use a steam cleaner. If water gets inside the appliance, it can cause
damage.

Appliance description
The appliance is designed to extract cooking fumes and smells from the cooking area.
This particular model can be used to extract or to recirculate air.
Extraction model
The cooking fumes are extracted by a ventilator. The metal grease filters clean the ex-
tracted air, which is passed through a connecting pipe fitted with an integrated non-
return valve and through the air duct to the outside.
Recirculation model
If, for building reasons, it is impossible to vent the air outside, the appliance can be
used as a recirculation model. The cooking fumes and smells are filtered over the metal
grease filter through activated charcoal filters and the filtered air is then circulated back
into the room through the side openings.
When the appliance is in use, ensure there is a sufficient supply of fresh air to
replace the air that is being extracted.
If activated charcoal filters are not supplied with the appliance, these should
be ordered and installed before using the appliance.
Moisture is not taken out of the air.

Cleaning the housing
Clean the housing of the appliance using a slightly damp cloth, and detergent if
necessary, and wipe dry.
Take care that no water gets into the housing of the
appliance! If water gets into the housing, it can cause
damage.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool, etc., as they can
damage the surface.

…Care and maintenance

Cleaning the metal grease filter
The metal grease filter should be cleaned weekly with normal use, or once every two
weeks at a minimum. If properly cared for, a metal grease filter should provide unlim-
ited years of service.
A Using both hands press the glass panel gently
upwards.
– The glass panel opens automatically by
means of a gas pressure absorber.
APull down the metal grease filter and remove it.
AAfter cleaning, reinstall the metal grease filter.
APush glass panel upwards until it clicks into po-
sition on the left and right.
The accumulation of grease in the metal grease filter can
present a fire hazard.
For washing in a dishwasher, select an «intensive» or «heavy» wash – with a
warm pre-wash. Cleaning may cause the metal grease filter to become dis-
coloured. However, this will not affect the functioning of the filter in any way.

…Care and maintenance

Replacing the activated charcoal filter
Activated charcoal filters become less effective with use. With normal use, they have
to be replaced at least every four months. They cannot be washed or regenerated.
