1.5 Children in the home
•Packaging material, e.g. plastic film and polystyrene, can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from chil-
dren.
•The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these
operating instructions. Children are often unable to recognize the danger of
electrical appliances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow children
to play with the appliance – there is a danger that children could hurt them-
selves.
1.6 Note on use
•If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact Customer Serv-
ices.
•If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the power
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 appli-
ances.
•Do not flambé food underneath the appliance. Grease filters if laden with
grease could catch fire.
•If frying on the cooking surface, do not leave the frying appliance unat-
tended. 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.
•Observe the cleaning intervals. Failure to do so can increase the fire hazard
due to the excessive build-up of grease in the grease filters.
•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.
1 Safety precautions
7

•Avoid a cross-current of air, which could blow the cooking vapours across
the cooking area.
•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 (0.04mbar) 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.

3.1 Appliance description
The appliance is for ventilating a cooking area and is typically built into the
wall unit. This particular model can be used in the extraction mode as well as
in the recirculation mode.
3.2 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.
When the appliance is in use, ensure there is a sufficient supply of
fresh air to replace the air that is being extracted.
3.3 Recirculation model
Using an activated charcoal filter in the appliance
After being filtered through the grease filter, 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 air recycling cartridge (LRC)
The appliance extracts the cooking fumes and smells from above the cooking
surface through the grease filter, which removes the grease particles. The air
is then blown via a duct through the air recycling cassette. An activated char-
coal 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.
The activated charcoal filter is more effective at the lower power levels.
10

3.4 Equipment
•Glass deflector plate (extendable)
•2 extractor fans with 3 power levels
•1 metal grease filter
•Illumination
•1 activated charcoal filter (not supplied)
The extractor fan has 3 power levels: 1, 2 and 3
•1 = low, 2 = medium, 3 = high.
•Power levels 1 and 2 are suitable for continuous operation.
•The intensive level is used for short bursts of intensive extraction of cooking
fumes and smells, e.g. when searing meat. Switch back to power level 1 or
2 afterwards.

inside.
Clean using a slightly damp cloth – and detergent if necessary – and wipe
dry.
Cleaning the illumination cover
If need be, the illumination cover can be removed for cleaning.
15

5.2 Metal grease filter with integrated long-life charcoal
filter
The filters can be cleaned and reactivated (activated charcoal filters). They
must be cleaned at least once a month with normal use.
The activated charcoal filters must be replaced after about 3 years
because their ability to absorb smells will be reduced. The spent acti-
vated charcoal filters can be disposed of in the household waste.
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.
Cleaning may cause the grease filter to become discoloured. -
However, this will not affect the functioning of the filter in any way.
Drying/reactivating the activated charcoal filter
To reactivate the activated charcoal, the activated charcoal filter has to be
dried in the oven.
Select top/bottom heat or hot air at 100 °C and leave the activated char-
coal filter to dry on the wire shelf for at least 60 minutes
