the 'Service & Support' section. Contact
our Customer Services if necessary.

1 Safety precautions
6
▪Use original spare parts only.
▪Retain these operating instructions for
future reference.
Note on use
▪If the appliance is visibly damaged, do
not use it. Contact our Customer Ser-
vices.
▪If the appliance is not functioning prop-
erly, disconnect it from the power sup-
ply immediately.
▪Ensure there is adequate ventilation
when the extractor fan is on so as to
avoid creating underpressure in the kit-
chen and to achieve optimal air extrac-
tion.
▪Avoid a cross-current of air, which
could blow the cooking vapours over
the cooking area.
▪If other appliances – fired by gas or
other fuels – are being used at the
same time, ensure that there is a suffi-
cient 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 op-
eration is only possible providing a
room negative pressure of 4Pa
(0.04mbar) is not exceeded at the loc-
ation of the appliance. Risk of toxic
fumes! An adequate flow of fresh air
must be guaranteed e.g. via non-clos-
able openings in doors or windows and
in combination with an air-intake/ex-
haust-air wall box or by other technical
means.
▪When cleaning the appliance make
sure no water gets inside it. Use a mod-
erately damp cloth only. 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.
▪Accessible parts may become hot when
used with cooking appliances.
Caution: Burns hazard!
▪Do not leave the appliance unattended
when deep-frying on the cooking sur-
face. The cooking oil in the deep-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.
Caution: Risk to life!
▪Packaging material, e.g. plastic film and
polystyrene, can be dangerous for chil-
dren and animals. Danger of suffoca-
tion! Keep packaging material away
from children and animals.
▪When carrying out maintenance work
on the appliance, including replacing
light bulbs, 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.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪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.

2 Appliance description
2.1 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.
2.2 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 connecting pipe fitted with an in-
tegrated 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.
2.3 Recirculation model
After being filtered through the metal grease filters, the cooking fumes and smells above
the cooking area are passed through an activated charcoal filter. The filtered air is then
circulated back into the room through the side openings.
If activated charcoal filters are not supplied with the appliance, these should be
ordered and installed before using the appliance for the first time.
2.4 Equipment
▪1 extractor fan with 4 power levels (1 = low, 2 = medium, 3 = high, and intensive
level). Power levels 1–3 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. The intensive level runs for a maximum of five minutes at a time.
▪Illumination
▪2 metal grease filters
▪2 standard activated charcoal filters (not included in scope of delivery)
