1 Safety precautions
1.6 Note on use
▪If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer
Services.
▪If the appliance is not functioning properly, disconnect it from the power
supply immediately.
▪If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by Cus-
tomer 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. Metal grease filters if laden
with grease could catch fire.
▪When frying on the cooking surface, do not leave the appliance unattended.
The cooking oil in the frying appliance could overheat and catch fire. Con-
stantly monitor the temperature of the cooking oil, keeping it below the tem-
perature 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 build-up of grease in the metal 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 extractor fan is on so as to
avoid creating a disturbing underpressure in the kitchen and to achieve op-
timal air extraction.
▪Avoid a cross-current of air, which could blow the cooking vapours over 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 (0.04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 com-
bination with an air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical means.

1 Safety precautions
▪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 ap-
pliance with water. Do not use a steam cleaner. If water gets inside the ap-
pliance, it can cause damage.

3 Appliance description
3.1 Appliance description
The appliance is designed for use in the home for extracting cooking fumes
and smells from above the cooking surface.
The model can be used to extract or recirculate air.
3.2 Extraction model
A fan draws cooking fumes and smells from above the cooking area. The
metal grease filters clean the extracted air, which is passed through a connect-
ing pipe fitted with an integrated non-return valve and through the air duct to
the outside.
When 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 metal 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 ap-
pliance – and back into the room.
Using a LRC1 air recycling cassette
The appliance extracts the cooking fumes and smells from above the cooking
surface through the metal grease filters, which retain 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.
The activated charcoal filter is more effective at the lower power levels.
