Safety precautions

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 therefore follow the precautions given in these operating instructions.

In accordance with the requirements of IEC 60335-1:

■ 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

■ The appliance must be installed and connected up to the electricity supply according to the separate installation instructions. The necessary work should be carried out by a qualified fitter or electrician.

■Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.

Correct use

■The appliance is designed for use in the home for extracting cooking fumes and smells from above the cooking surface.
■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.
■Use original spare parts only.
■ Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass the appliance on to a third party, please ensure these operating instructions, 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

■Packaging material e.g. plastic and polystyrene can be dangerous for children. Danger of suffocation! Please keep packaging material away from children.
■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.

Note on use

■If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer Services.

■If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the electricity supply immediately.

■If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by Customer Services in order to avoid hazard.

■ Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.

■Do not flambé food underneath the hood as the grease filters if laden with grease could catch fire.

■If frying on the cooking surface, do not leave the frying appliance unattended. 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.

■Clean the filters regularly. Failure to do so can increase the fire hazard due to the build-up of grease in the grease filter.

■ 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 extraction fan is on so as to avoid creating a disturbing underpressure in the kitchen and to achieve optimal 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 combination with an air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical means.
■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 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 recirculate air.

Extraction model

The integrated fan extracts cooking fumes and smells from above the cooking surface. The air is cleaned through the grease filters and then fed through the exhaust air conduit to the outside.

When the appliance is in use, ensure there is a sufficient supply of fresh air to replace the air that is being extracted.

Recirculation model

The fumes over the hob are largely removed by the metal grease filter through activated charcoal and then recirculated back into the room through the side air slits in the hood.

If the appliance is not equipped with an activated charcoal filter, one should be ordered and installed prior to initial use. In addition, the saturation indicator for the activated charcoal filter must be activated.

Equipment

■1 Extractor fan
■Illumination
■2. 3 or 4 metal grease filters
■1 activated charcoal filter (only for recirculation mode, not included in scope of delivery)

The extractor fan has four power levels

■ 1 = low, 2 = medium, 3 = high power and the intensive level.
■Levels 1–3 are suitable for continuous operation.
■ The intensive level is used for brief, intensive extraction of fumes, e.g. when searing. The intensive level can be run for five minutes.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool, etc. as they can damage the surface.

Remove the screw fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.

Cleaning the outside/inside

- Clean the outside using a slightly damp cloth – and detergent if necessary – and wipe dry.

Grease and condensate water can build up on the inside next to the grease filters.

▶Clean using a slightly damp cloth – and detergent if necessary – and wipe dry.

Cleaning the grease filters

The grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month with normal use or whenever the :button flashes. If properly cared for, the grease filters should provide unlimited years of service.

Removing

▶ Press back the grip 2 on the grease filter 1.
▶Carefully pull the grease filter down and out of the fixture.

Take care not to damage the grease filters.

Cleaning

▶The grease filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher.
▶Select an «intensive» – or «heavy soil» – wash programme with a warm pre-wash.

Cleaning may cause the grease filters to become discoloured. However, this will not affect the functioning of the filter in any way.

If you do not have a dishwasher:

▶ Clean the grease filters in the sink with hot water and detergent.
▶Then soak the filters in hot water in the sink for about 2 hours and finally clean with a washing-up brush.

Replacing

▶ Insert the grease filter into the slots at the back.
▶Push the grip back.
▶Swing the grease filter up and engage in position.
▶ Hold the button depressed for at least 3 seconds.
▶The flashing button light goes out.

Replacing the standard activated charcoal filter

Standard activated charcoal filters are only used in the recirculation model.

A standard activated charcoal filter becomes less effective with use. With normal use, it has to be changed at least every 4 months or whenever the button lights up. It cannot be washed or regenerated.

A dirty standard activated charcoal filter can be disposed of with the household waste.

▶Remove the grease filter and clean it.
▶ Turn the two locking knobs A by 90^ and remove the standard activated charcoal filter by pulling it down.
▶Insert the new standard activated charcoal filter until it latches at the back and secure it in the front with the locking knobs.
▶Reinsert the grease filter.
▶Replace the fuse resp. switch the circuit breaker back on again.
▶Hold the button depressed for at least 3 seconds. - The luminous button light goes out.

Cleaning and replacing 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 button flashes.

The filter can be cleaned in a dishwasher at 65 °C (select an «intensive» resp. «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.

▶ Select 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.

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.

▶Remove and clean the grease filter.
▶Turn both knobs 90° and remove the long-life activated charcoal filter from the bottom.
▶ Remove, clean, reactivate and replace the filter 1 into the frame 2. Take care not to damage the filter. If necessary, replace the used long-life activated charcoal filter by a new one.
▶Replace the long-life activated charcoal filter and engage it at the back and secure at the front with the knobs.
▶Replace the grease filter.
▶Replace the fuse resp. switch the circuit breaker back on again.
▶Hold the button depressed for at least 3 seconds. - The flashing button light goes out.
