and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the appliance is
however essential to avoid damage and accidents. Please there-
fore follow the precautions given in these operating instructions.

… Safety precautions
5
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
children. Danger of suffocation! Please keep packaging material away from
children.
䡲The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these
operating instructions. Children are often unable to recognise 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 themselves.

… Safety precautions

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If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by
Customer Services in order to avoid hazard.
䡲Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking
appliances.
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
optimal air extraction.
䡲Avoid a cross-current of air, which could blow the cooking vapours over
the cooking area.

… Safety precautions
7
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
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.
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
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.

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 cook-
ing surface. The air is cleaned through the grease filter and then fed through
the exhaust air conduit to the outside.
Recirculation model
Using an activated charcoal filter in the appliance
After passing through the grease filter, the fumes over the stove top are
removed by an activated charcoal filter. The cleaned air then flows through
the grating – above on the appliance – back into the room.
Using an air recycling cartridge (LRC1)
The appliance suctions the fumes over the stove top through the grease filter,
which retains the grease particles. The air is then blown through a pipeline to
the air recycling cartridge. An activated charcoal filter is installed in this car-
tridge, which rids the air of odours. The cleaned air is then aerodynamically
blown back into the room through the exhaust grating.
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 efficient if operated at the lower
power levels.
