and smells from above the cooking surface.
• 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.

1.4 Note on use
• If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer
Services.
• If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the electricity
supply immediately.
• If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by
Customer Services in order to avoid hazard.
• Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking
appliances.
• Do not flambé food underneath the hood as the grease filters if laden with
grease could catch fire.
• 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 more easily than clean oil.
• Clean the filters regularly. Failure to do so can increase the fire hazard due
to the build up of grease in the grease filter.
• 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.
• 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
optimal air extraction.
• Avoid a cross current of air, which could blow the cooking vapours over
the cooking area.

1 Safety precautions
7
• 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.
• 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
location 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
technical means.
• 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).
• 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.

2 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.
2.1 Extraction model
The integrated fan extracts cooking fumes and smells from above the
cooking surface. The air is cleaned through the grease filter and then fed
through the exhaust air conduit to the outside.
2.2 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 appli
ance – and back into the room.
Using an air recycling cartridge (LRC)
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.

4.2 Metal grease filter with integrated Long-life activated
charcoal filter
The filters can be cleaned and reactivated (activated charcoal filters). They
must be cleaned at least once a month with normal use.
Cleaning the grease filter and the activated charcoal filter
The filters can be cleaned in the dishwasher at 65 °C (intensive programme).
The filters can otherwise be left to soak in the sink for an hour at 60 °C using
water and standard washing up liquid. Rinse well afterwards.
Drying/reactivate the activated charcoal filter
To reactivate the activated charcoal, the activated charcoal filter has to be
dried in the oven.
ASelect top/bottom heat or hot air at 100 °C and leave the activated
charcoal filter to dry on the wire shelf for at least 60 minutes.
The activated charcoal filters must be replaced after about 3 years
because their ability to absorb smells will be reduced. The dirty
activated charcoal filters can be disposed of in the household waste.
Cleaning may cause the grease filters to become discoloured.
However, this will not affect the functioning of the filters in any way.
