fore follow the precautions given in these operating instructions.

… Safety precautions
6
Correct use
䡲The appliance is designed for use in the home for extracting cooking fumes
and smells from above the cooking surface.
䡲Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially
any electrically live 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 our Customer Services if
necessary.
䡲Use original spare parts only.
䡲Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass
the appliance on to a third party, please ensure these operating instruc-
tions, together with the installation instructions, accompany the appliance.
In this way, the new owner can inform themselves about how to use the
appliance correctly and read the pertinent safety precautions.
Children in the home
䡲Packaging material e.g. plastic and polystyrene can be dangerous for chil-
dren. Danger of suffocation! Please keep packaging material away from
children.
䡲The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these op-
erating instructions. Children are often unable to recognise the danger of
electrical appliances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow children

Note on 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 grease filters if laden with
grease could catch fire.
䡲If frying on the cooking surface, do not leave the frying appliance unattend-
ed. 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 more easily 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 grease filter.
䡲Do not operate the individual cooking zones of the cooking surface without
a pan on them or with an empty pan on them so as to avoid damaging the
appliance or the kitchen fittings through a build-up of heat. Avoid open fires
with oil, gas, wood and coal fired cookers.
䡲Ensure there is adequate ventilation when the extraction fan is on so as to
avoid creating a disturbing underpressure in the kitchen and to achieve op-
timal air extraction.
䡲Avoid a cross-current of air, which could blow the cooking vapours over
the cooking area.

… Safety precautions
8
䡲If other appliances – fuelled by gas or other fuels – are being used at the
same time, ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air. This does
not apply to air recirculation appliances.
䡲If other firing systems are being used at the same time (e.g. wood, gas, oil
or coal-fired heating appliances), safe operation is only possible providing
a room negative pressure of 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) is not exceeded at the loca-
tion of the appliance. Risk of toxic fumes! An adequate flow of fresh air
must be guaranteed e.g. via non-closable openings in doors or windows
and in combination with an air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other tech-
nical means.
䡲When carrying out maintenance work on the appliance, including replacing
the light bulb, 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 appli-
ance. 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 used to extract cooking fumes and smells from a cooking
area and is normally installed in an overhead unit. This particular model can
be used in the extraction mode or the recirculation mode.
Extraction model
The integrated fan extracts cooking fumes and smells from above the
cooking surface. The air is cleaned through the grease filters and then fed
through the exhaust air conduit to the outside.
Recirculation model
Using an activated charcoal filter in the appliance
After being filtered through the grease filters, the cooking fumes and smells
above the cooking surface are passed through an activated charcoal filter.
The cleaned air is then circulated through the grille – at the top of the
appliance – and back into the room.
Using an LRC1 air recycling cassette
The appliance extracts the cooking fumes and smells from above the cooking
surface through the grease filters, which remove the grease particles. The air
is then blown via a duct through the air recycling cassette. An activated
charcoal filter in the air recycling cassette removes the cooking fumes and
smells. The cleaned air is then circulated through the outlet grille back into
the room.
When the appliance is in use, ensure there is a sufficient supply of
fresh air to replace the air that is being extracted.
The activated charcoal filter is more effective at the lower power
levels.

Cleaning and replacing long-life activated charcoal filters
Long-life activated charcoal filters are only used in the recirculation model.
Unlike the standard activated charcoal filter, the long-life activated filter can
be cleaned and reactivated. With normal use of the appliance, the long-life
activated charcoal filter should be cleaned every month. The long-life activat-
ed charcoal filter can be washed in the dishwasher at 65 °C (intensive pro-
gramme). The long-life activated charcoal filter should be washed separately,
so that no food remains can become stuck to the filter. If you don’t have a
dishwasher, the long-life activated charcoal filter can also be soaked in the
sink for an hour at 60 °C using normal washing-up liquid. Then rinse well.
To reactivate the activated charcoal, the long-life activated charcoal filter must
be dried in the oven without its frame.
ASelect top and bottom heat or hot air at 100 °C and leave the long-life ac-
tivated charcoal filter to dry for 60 minutes on the wire shelf.
ARemove and clean the metal grease filters.
ARemove and reactivate the long-life activated charcoal filter or replace with
the new filter.
AReplace the metal grease filters.
APut screw fuse back in or switch circuit breaker on again.
Remove screw fuse or switch off circuit breaker.
After about three years the long-life activated charcoal filter must be
replaced because its ability to absorb smells will be reduced. The dirty
long-life activated charcoal filter can be disposed of along with the do-
mestic waste.
