Operating modes
Exhaust-air mode:
❑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.
DWhen 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.
Instructions for use:
Circulating-air mode:
❑An activated carbon filter must be fitted
for this operating mode (see Filters and
maintenance).
The complete installation set and
replacement filters can be obtained from
specialist outlets.
The corresponding accessory numbers
can be found at the end of these
operating instructions.
❑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.
If no activated carbon filter is installed,
it is not possible to bind the odorous
substances in the cooking vapours.

Before using for the first time
Important notes:
❑The Instructions for Use apply to several
versions of this appliance. Accordingly,
you may find descriptions of individual
features that do not apply to your
specific appliance.
❑This extractor hood complies with all
relevant safety regulations.

Gas hobs / gas cookers
Do not operate more than 2 gas
cooking areas simultaneously over a period
of max. 15 minutes at maximum thermal
load.
Due to the effect of the heat there is a risk of
burns if the surfaces of the housing are
touched.
❑Note that one large burner of more than
5 kW (Wok) is equivalent to the power of
2 gas burners.
❑Never operate a gas cooking area
without a cooking utensil on it. Regulate
the flame in such a way that it does not
project over the cooking utensil.
❑This appliance is labelled
in accordance with
European Directive
2002/96/EG concerning
used electrical and
electronic appliances
(waste electrical and
electronic equipment –
WEEE). The guideline
determines the framework for the return
and recycling of used appliances as
applicable throughout the EU.

If you are cooking with fat or oil, e.g. chips,
etc., never leave the cooker unattended.
Do not use the appliance if damaged.
The appliance may be connected to
the mains by a qualified technician only.
If the connecting cable for this
appliance is damaged, the cable must be

Filters and maintenance
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.
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 dish-
washer. 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.
2. Clean the filters.
3. Insert the clean filters back into the
hood.
Removing and inserting the metal grease
filters:
Warning: The halogen bulbs must be
switched off and cool.
1. Press the catch on the grease filters
inwards and fold the filters down.
At the same time take hold of the under-
side of the grease filters with your other
hand.

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.
3. Engage the catch.
4. Insert 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 2 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.
Installation and removal:
Warning: The halogen bulbs must be
switched off and cool.
1. Remove the metal-mesh filters
(see "Removing and inserting the metal-
mesh grease filters").
2. Insert the activated carbon filter.

Cleaning and care
Isolate the extractor hood by pulling out
the mains plug or switching off the fuse.
Do not clean the extractor hood with
abrasive sponges or with cleaning agents
which contain sand, soda, acid or chlorine!
❑Clean the extractor hood with a hot soap
solution or a mild window cleaner.
❑Do not scrape off dried-on dirt but wipe
off with a damp cloth.
❑When cleaning the grease filters, remove
grease deposits from accessible parts of
the housing. This prevents the risk of fire
and ensures that the extractor hood
continues operating at maximum
efficiency.
Clean the operating buttons with a mild
soapy solution and a soft, damp cloth only.
Do not use stainless-steel cleaner to clean
the operating buttons.
Stainless steel surfaces:
❑Use a mild non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
❑Clean the surface in the same direction
as it has been ground and polished.
❑We recommend our stainless steel
cleaner no. 461731.
See enclosed service booklet for order
address.
Aluminium, coated and plastic surfaces:
❑Do not use dry cloths.
❑Use a mild window cleaning agent.
❑Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic
cleaners.
Observe the warranty regulations in the
enclosed service booklet.

become very hot. Even for some time after
the bulbs have been switched off there is
still a risk of burns.
2. Remove the bulb ring with a screwdriver
or similar tool.
3. Replace the halogen light bulb
(conventional halogen bulb, 12 Volt,
