Frequently Asked Questions - DKE995P BOSCH

How to install the DKE995P hood in recirculation mode?

For recirculation use, you must purchase a recirculation kit (charcoal filter) and install it according to the instructions in the manual. Make sure the hood is properly secured and the air circuit is correctly configured.

How often should I clean the grease filters?

The aluminum grease filters should be cleaned every month, either by hand with hot water and detergent, or in the dishwasher. A clogged filter reduces efficiency and increases noise.

The hood does not turn on, what should I do?

First check the power supply (fuse, circuit breaker). If the problem persists, inspect the power cord and connections. If nothing works, contact Bosch after-sales service.

How to change the LED bulb?

The LED bulbs are integrated and cannot be changed individually. In case of failure, call a professional or after-sales service to replace the entire lighting module.

The hood is very noisy, is this normal?

The noise level is normal up to 65 dB at maximum speed. If the noise is excessive, check that the filters are clean, the hood is properly secured, and the exhaust duct is not blocked.

What is the minimum distance between the hood and the hob?

For electric cooking, the minimum distance is 45 cm; for gas cooking, it is 65 cm. Respect these distances to ensure good extraction and avoid fire hazards.

How to activate the delayed shut-off function?

Press the delayed shut-off button (clock symbol) after selecting the desired speed. The hood will stop automatically after 10 minutes.

Can I use the hood without a charcoal filter?

Yes, if you use the hood in external evacuation mode, the charcoal filter is not necessary. In recirculation mode, it is essential for filtering odors.

How to reset the filter saturation indicator?

After cleaning or replacing the filter, press and hold the dedicated button for 3 seconds until the indicator turns off. Consult the manual for the exact button.

Where to find spare parts for the DKE995P hood?

Spare parts (filters, bulbs, remote control) are available on the Bosch website, at authorized dealers, or by contacting after-sales service. Use the model reference to order.

Appliance description

Operating modes

Exhaust-air mode:

The extractor-hood fan extracts the kitchen vapours and conveys them through the grease filter into the atmosphere.

The grease filter absorbs the solid particles in the kitchen vapours.

The kitchen is kept almost free of grease and odours.

When the extractor hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with a different burner which also makes use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers) care must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air which will be needed by the burner for combustion.

Safe operation is possible provided that the underpressure in the room where the burner is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).

Operating modes

This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.

If the air intake is inadequate, there is a risk of poisoning from combustion gases which are drawn back into the room.

An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.

Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the combined ventilation system for the entire household must be taken into consideration. This rule does not apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as hobs and ovens.

Unrestricted operation is possible if the extractor hood is used in recirculating mode – with activated carbon filter.

Circulating-air mode:

☐ An activated carbon filter must be fitted for this operating mode (see Filters and maintenance).

⚠ The complete installation set and replacement filters can be obtained from specialist outlets. The corresponding accessory numbers can be found at the end of these operating instructions.

☐ The extractor-hood fan extracts the kitchen vapours which are purified in the grease filter and activated carbon filter and then conveyed back into the kitchen.

☐ The grease filter absorbs the grease particles in the kitchen vapours.

☐ The activated carbon filter binds the odorous substances.

Before using for the first time

Important notes:

☐ The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance. ☐ This extractor hood complies with all relevant safety regulations.

Repairs should only be carried out by qualified specialists.

Improperly executed repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user.

☐ Before using your new appliance, please read these Instructions for Use carefully. They contain important information concerning your personal safety as well as on use and care of the appliance. ☐ Please keep the operating and installation instructions in a safe place; this important documentation may also be of use to a possible subsequent owner.

⚠ The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirmed persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

⚠ The appliance should only be connected up to the mains and taken into use by a qualified specialist.

Dispose of packaging materials properly (see Installation instructions).

Light bulbs must always be fitted when the extractor hood is in use.

Defective bulbs should be replaced immediately to prevent the remaining bulbs from overloading.

Never operate the extractor hood without a grease filter.

Overheated fat or oil can easily catch fire.

If you are cooking with fat or oil, e.g. chips, etc., never leave the cooker unattended.

Do not flambé food directly under the extractor hood.

Risk of grease filter catching fire due to flames.

Restrictions apply to the use of the extractor hood over a solid-fuel burner (coal, wood, etc.). (See Installation instructions).

Gas hobs / gas cookers

Always use gas hobs in a proper and safe manner.

Important:

The flames from the gas hob must always be covered by pots or pans.

The intense heat generated by the gas flames could cause damage to the extractor hood.

The heat load of all the hotplates which is produced during operation must not exceed 8.0 kW, irrespective of the installed nominal output.

Exception: The hotplates may be operated briefly (max. 15 minutes) at a heat load up to 11.3 kW if at least fan setting 2 has been permanently switched on. (Otherwise, there is a risk of burns if the housing surfaces are touched).

Operating procedure

Filters and maintenance

Grease filters:

Metal filters are used to trap the greasy element of the vapours that develop during cooking.

The filter mats are made from non-combustible metal.

Caution:

As the filter becomes more and more saturated with grease, not only does the risk of it catching fire increase but the efficiency of the extractor hood can also be adversely affected.

Important:

By cleaning the metal grease filters at appropriate intervals, the possibility of them catching fire as a result of a build-up of heat such as occurs when deep-fat frying or roasting is taking place, is reduced.

Saturation indicator:

When the grease filters reach saturation point, an acoustic signal is sounded for 10 seconds after the fan has switched off, and an ≡ appears in the display. The grease filters should be cleaned straight away.

Cleaning the metal grease filters:

☐ The filters can be cleaned in a dish-washer. It is however possible that they will become slightly discoloured.

Important:

Metal filters that are saturated with grease should not be washed together with other dishes etc.

When cleaning the filters by hand, soak them in hot soapy water first of all. Then brush the filters clean, rinse them thoroughly and leave the water to drain off.

Removing and inserting the metal grease filters:

Warning: The halogen bulbs must be switched off and cool.

1. Rotate the two catches on the grease filter and remove the grease filter.

1. Clean the grease filter.
2. Re-insert the clean grease filter.

Disposing of the old activated carbon filter:

There are no pollutants in the activated carbon filters. They can therefore be disposed of as part of your normal domestic refuse.

Cleaning and care

Disconnect the extractor hood from the electricity supply by pulling out the mains plug or switching it off at the fuse box.

At the same time as you clean the grease filters, clean off any grease from all accessible parts of the housing. This significantly reduces the fire hazard and ensures that the extractor hood performs as effectively as possible.

Use a hot detergent solution or a mild window cleaner to clean the canopy of the extractor hood.

Do not scrape off any dirt that has dried on but loosen it up with a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or sponges that could cause scratches.

Note: Do not use alcohol (spirit) on plastic parts, otherwise the surface may become matt in appearance.

Caution: Ensure that the kitchen is adequately ventilated. Avoid naked flames!

Clean the operating buttons with a mild soapy solution and a soft, damp cloth only. Do not use stainless-steel cleaner to clean the operating buttons.

Stainless steel surfaces:

Use a mild non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.

Clean the surface in the same direction as it has been ground and polished.

Do not use any of the following to clean stainless steel surfaces: abrasive sponges, cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride!

Aluminium, painted and plastic surfaces:

Use a soft, non-linting window cloth or micro-fibre cloth.

Do not use dry cloths.

Use a mild window cleaning agent.

☐ Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic cleaners.

☐ Do not use abrasive agents.

Replacing the light bulbs

1. Switch off the extractor hood and pull out the mains plug or switch off the electricity supply at the fuse box.

When switched on, the halogen bulbs become very hot. Even for some time after the bulbs have been switched off there is still a risk of burns.

1. Remove the bulb ring with a screwdriver or similar tool.

1. Replace the halogen light bulb (conventional halogen bulb, 12 Volt, max. 20 Watt, G4 cap). Caution: Refer for plug-in lampholder. Take hold of the bulb with a clean cloth.

1. Re-insert the bulb ring.
2. Plug the appliance into the mains or switch it on at the fuse box.

Note: If the light does not function, check that the bulbs have been inserted correctly.

Setting the saturation indicator

If it becomes necessary to change the operating mode (exhaust-air/recirculating mode), the saturation indicator for the filters must also be altered (see Installation Instructions).

Important information

⚠️ Old appliances are not worthless rubbish. If they are disposed of in an environment-friendly manner, valuable raw materials can be recovered for use again. Before you dispose of an old appliance, make sure that it has been rendered inoperative.

⚠️ Your new appliance was protected on its way to you by the packaging. None of the materials cause pollution to the environment and all can be recycled for use again. Please help to protect the environment and dispose of the packaging in an environment-friendly manner.

You can obtain information about the best method of disposing of old appliances and packaging from your dealer or local municipal council.

⚠ The extractor hood can be used in either exhaust-air or recirculating mode.

⚠️ Always mount the extractor hood over the centre of the hob.

⚠️ Minimum distance between electric hob and bottom edge of extractor hood: 550 mm, Fig. 1.

Additional notes concerning gas cookers:

When installing gas hotplates, comply with the relevant national statutory regulations (e.g. in Germany: Technische Regeln Gasinstallation TRGI).

The relevant regulations and installation notes provided by the manufacturer of the gas cooker must be observed in all cases.

The extractor hood may be installed next to only one full-height cupboard or high wall. Gap to be at least 50 mm.

During installation observe a minimum distance of 650 mm above the gas hotplates. Fig. 1.

Gas hotplates may only be used when cooking utensils have been placed on them.

Gas hobs / gas cookers:

The heat load of all the hotplates which is produced during operation must not exceed 8.0 kW, irrespective of the installed nominal output.

Exception: The hotplates may be operated briefly (max. 15 minutes) at a heat load up to 11.3 kW if at least fan setting 2 has been permanently switched on. (Otherwise, there is a risk of burns if the housing surfaces are touched).

Solid-fuel cookers

The maximum nominal heat loads and the minimum distance are the same as for gas cookers.

Installation of the extractor hood over a solid-fuel burner which could constitute a potential fire hazard (e.g. due to flying sparks) is only permitted if the burner is equipped with an enclosed, non-removable cover and all country-specific regulations are observed. This restriction does not apply to gas cookers and gas hobs.

The smaller the gap between extractor hood and hob, the greater the likelihood that rising steam will cause condensation to form on the hood.

Prior to installation

Exhaust-air mode

The exhaust air is discharged upwards through a ventilation shaft or directly through the outside wall into the open.

Exhaust air should neither be directed into a smoke or exhaust flue that is currently used for other purposes, nor into a shaft that is used for ventilating rooms in which stoves or fireplaces are also located.

Exhaust air may be discharged in accordance with official and statutory regulations only (e.g. national building regulations).

Local authority regulations must be observed when discharging air into smoke or exhaust flues that are not otherwise in use.

When the extractor hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with a different burner which also makes use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers) care must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air which will be needed by the burner for combustion.

Safe operation is possible provided that the underpressure in the room where the burner is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).

This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.

If the air intake is inadequate, there is a risk of poisoning from combustion gases which are drawn back into the room.

An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.

Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the combined ventilation system for the entire household must be taken into consideration. This rule does not apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as hobs and ovens.

Unrestricted operation is possible if the extractor hood is used in recirculating mode – with activated carbon filter.

Prior to installation

For optimum extractor hood efficiency:

☐ Short, smooth air exhaust pipe. ☐ As few bends in the pipe as possible. ☐ Diameter of pipe to be as large as possible and no tight bends in pipe. If long, rough exhaust-air pipes, many pipe bends or smaller pipe diameters are used, the air extraction rate will no longer be at an optimum level and there will be an increase in noise.

Round pipes:

We recommend Internal diameter: 150 mm (at least 120 mm).

☐ Flat ducts must have an internal cross-section that equates to that of round pipes.

There should be no sharp bends.

∅ 120 mm approx. 113 cm

∅ 150 mm approx. 177 cm

☐ If pipes have different diameters: Insert sealing strip.

☐ For exhaust-air mode, ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air.

Connecting a φ 150 mm exhaust-air pipe:

□ Mount the pipe directly onto the air outlet on the hood.

Connecting a φ 120 mm exhaust-air pipe:

☐ Screw a reducing adapter onto the air outlet on the hood and then connect the exhaust-air pipe.

Circulating-air mode

☐ With activated carbon filter if exhaust-air mode is not possible.

⚠ The complete installation set can be obtained from specialist outlets. The corresponding accessory numbers can be found at the end of these operating instructions.

Prior to installation

Preparing the wall

☐ The wall must be flat and perpendicular. ☐ Ensure that the wall is capable of providing a firm hold for mounting screws and plugs.
