IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE
TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on
low or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high
heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzettes, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef
Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or
filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Alwaxs use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
Cauition: Grease left on filters can remelt and
move into the vent.
When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the
parents or legal guardians to ensure that they
are instructed in safe practices by qualified
persons.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A COOKTOP
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,
cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS.
If the flames do not go out immediately. EVA-
CUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN. You may
be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish
cloths or towels. A violent explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You know you have a Class ABC extin-
guisher, and you already know how to
operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the
area where it started.
3) The fire department is being called.
4) You can fight the fire with your back to
an exit.
WARNING: Whenever possible, do not operate
blower during a cooktop fire. However, DO NOT
REACH THROUGH FIRE TO TURN OFF BLOWER.

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.
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.
Repairs should be carried out by qualified technicians
only.
Improper repairs may put the user at considerable
risk.
❑Before using your appliance for the first time, please
read these Instructions for Use carefully. They contain
important information concerning your personal safety
as well as on use and care of the appliance.
❑Please retain the operating and installation instructions
for a subsequent owner.
TRANSPORTATION PROTECTION
DEVICE:
❑The transportation protection device prevents the filter
drawer from sliding out.
❑Check that the fitter has removed the transportation
protection device (see installation manual).
❑Please retain the transportation protection device in
case you move house.
GAS HOBS / GAS COOKERS:
Do not use all the gas hotplates simultaneously for a
prolonged period (max. 15 minutes) at maximum thermal
load, otherwise there is a risk of burns if the housing
surfaces are touched or a risk of damage to the extractor
hood. If the extractor hood is situated over a gas hob,
operate the hood at maximum setting if three or more gas
hotplates are operated simultaneously.

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.
Saturation indicator: ~
When the grease filters reach saturation point, an acoustic
signal is sounded for 6 seconds after the fan has switched
off, and an ~appears in the display. The grease filters
should be cleaned straight away.
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 dishwasher. 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.
Removing and inserting the metal grease
filters:
Warning: The halogen bulbs must be switched off and
cool.
Before changing the grease filters, ensure that the fil-
ter drawer has been pushed in.
1. Press the catches on the front grease filters and fold
down the grease filters.

CARE AND CLEANING
Do not clean the extractor hood with abrasive
sponges or with cleaning agents which contain sand,
soda, acid or chlorine!
To facilitate cleaning, pull out the filter drawer.
Do not catch hand between the filter brackets, danger of
crushing!
❑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.
❑Note: Do not use alcohol (spirit) on plastic surfaces, as
dull marks may appear.
Caution: Ensure that the kitchen is adequately
ventilated. Avoid naked flames!
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 Fantastik®
or Formula 409®sprayed onto a paper towel.
Aluminium 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.
WARNING. To avoid risk of fire and explosion do not use flammable liquids or solvents.
Always unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing.
Do not insert the filter drawer while cleaning it.
Danger of crushing!
❑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.

REPLACING THE BULBS
1. Switch off the extractor hood and pull out the mains
plug or switch off the electricity supply at the fuse box.
When switched on, the halogen bulbs 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, max. 20 Watt, G4 bulbholder).
Caution: Plug-in bulbholder.
Take hold of the bulb with a clean cloth.
4. Re-insert the bulb ring.
5. Restore the power by inserting the mains plug or
switching on the fuse.
Note: If the light does not function, check that the bulbs
have been inserted correctly.
