Safety precautions
In accordance with the requirements of IEC 60335-1:
䡲This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless supervised or unless they have been given instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Before using for the first time
䡲The appliance must be installed and connected up to the electricity supply
in accordance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary
work should be done by a qualified fitter or electrician.
䡲Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.
䡲Ensure the grease filters are properly installed.
The appliance corresponds to recognised technology standards
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
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
to play with the appliance – there is a danger that children can hurt
themselves.

… Safety precautions
7
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 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 another appliance – fuelled by gas or other fuels – is being used at the
same time, ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air. This does
not apply to air recirculation units.
䡲With the simultaneous operation of firing (e.g. wood, gas, oil or coal-fired
heating systems), safe operation is only possible providing a room nega-
tive pressure of 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) is not exceeded at the location of the ap-
pliance. Risk of toxic fumes! An adequate flow of fresh air must be
guaranteed, e.g. via non-closable openings in doors and windows and
combined with ventilation wall bricks for incoming and exhaust air 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 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 designed to extract cooking fumes and smells from the
cooking area. This particular model can be used to extract or to recirculate
air.
Extraction model
The cooking fumes are extracted by a ventilator. The metal grease filters
clean the extracted air, which is passed through a connecting pipe fitted with
an integrated non-return valve and through the air duct to the outside.
Recirculation model
If, for building reasons, it is impossible to vent the air outside, the appliance
can be used as a recirculation model. The cooking fumes and smells are fil-
tered over the metal grease filter through activated charcoal filters and the fil-
tered air is then circulated back into the room through the side openings.
When the appliance is in use, ensure there is a sufficient supply of
fresh air to replace the air that is being extracted.
If activated charcoal filters are not supplied with the appliance, these
should be ordered and installed before using the appliance.
Moisture is not taken out of the air.

level.
䡲Power levels 1–3 can be used for longer periods of operation.
䡲The intensive level is for shorter bursts of intensive extraction of the cook-
ing fumes and smells, e. g. when searing meat. The intensive level runs for
a maximum of 5 minutes at a time.

have finished cooking. Use a low power level for normal cooking
smells and a higher power level for very strong cooking fumes and
smells.

Care and maintenance
Cleaning the housing
Cleaning the outside / inside
AClean the outside using a slightly damp cloth – and detergent if necessary
– and wipe dry.
Grease and condensate water can build up around the grease filter on the
inside.
AClean using a slightly damp cloth – and detergent if necessary – and wipe
dry.
Take care that no water gets into the housing! If water gets into the
housing, it can cause damage.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool etc. to clean
the appliance as they can damage the surface.

… Care and maintenance
16
Cleaning the grease filter
The grease filter should be cleaned weekly with normal use, or once every
two weeks at a minimum. If properly cared for, a grease filter should provide
unlimited years of service.
A Using both hands press the glass panel gen-
tly upwards.
– The glass panel opens automatically by
means of a gas pressure absorber.
APull down the grease filter and remove it.
AAfter cleaning, reinstall the grease filter.
APush glass panel upwards until it clicks
into position on the left and right.
AAfter cleaning, hold the button depressed for at least 5 seconds.
– The indicator light goes out.
The accumulation of grease in the grease filter can present a fire
hazard.
For washing in a dishwasher, select
an «intensive» or «heavy» wash – with
a warm pre-wash. Cleaning may
cause the grease filter to become dis-
coloured. However, this will not affect
the functioning of the filter in any way.

… Care and maintenance
17
Replacing the activated charcoal filter
Activated charcoal filters become less effective with use. With normal use,
they have to be replaced at least every four months. They cannot be washed
or regenerated.
