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

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 tor use in the home for extracting cooking fumes
and smells from the cooking area. The appliance is based on a completely
new functional concept whereby more cooking fumes can be removed with
significantly less air being extracted. The grease particles in the extracted air
are trapped very efficiently in the combi filters and metal grease filters.
The appliance can be used in extraction or recirculation mode.
Extraction mode
The cooking fumes and smells above the cooking area are removed by an
extractor fan. The extracted air is filtered through the combi filters and metal
grease filters and passed through a pipe with an integrated non-return valve
and then through an air duct to the outside.
Recirculation mode
The cooking fumes and smells above the cooking area after being filtered
through the combi filters and metal grease filters are passed through an ac-
tivated charcoal filter. The filtered air is then circulated back into the room
through the side openings.
When the appliance is in use, ensure that 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. Further-
more, the saturation indicator for the activated charcoal filters must
also be activated.

Cleaning and changing the long-life activated charcoal filter
Long-life activated charcoal filters are only used in the recirculation mode.
Unlike the standard activated charcoal filter, the long-life activated charcoal
filter can be cleaned and reactivated. The long-life activated charcoal filter
should be changed ever month with normal use or whenever the indicator
light flashes. The filter can be cleaned in a dishwasher at 65 °C (select
an «intensive» or «heavy soil» wash programme). Wash the filter separately
so that it does not become clogged with food particles. If it is not possible to
wash the filter in a dishwasher, soak the filter in 60 °C water and detergent
for one hour. Then rinse well. To reactivate the activated charcoal, dry the filter
without the frame in the oven.
ASelect top and bottom heat or hot air and set the temperature to 100 °C.
Place the filter on a wire shelf and allow to dry for 60 minutes.
Remove screw fuse or switch off circuit breaker.
The long-life activated charcoal filter needs to be replaced after about
3 years as its ability to absorb odours declines. The spent long-life
activated charcoal filter can be disposed of in the household waste.
