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.
⚠️ If no activated carbon filter is installed, it is not possible to bind the odorous substances in the cooking vapours.

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 6 seconds after the fan has switched off, and a symbol appears in the display. The grease filters should be cleaned straight away.
Cleaning the metal grease filters:
☐ In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily), the metal grease filter must be cleaned once a month.
☐ The filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher. However, they may become slightly discolored.
☐ The filter must be placed loosely, and NOT wedged, in the dishwasher.
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. Do not use aggressive, acidic, or caustic cleaners. Then brush the filters clean, rinse them thoroughly, and let the water drain off.
Removing and inserting the metal grease filters:
Warning: The halogen bulbs must be switched off and cool.
- Press the catch on the grease filters inwards and fold the filters down. At the same time, take hold of the underside of the grease filters with your other hand.

- Clean the filters.
- Insert the clean filters back into the hood.
- Cancel the symbol in the display.
Press the Ⓐ button for at least 3 seconds.
The = is cancelled.
Filters and maintenance
Activated carbon filter:
For neutralizing odours in recirculating mode.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more saturated with grease, there is an increased risk of fire and the function of the extractor hood may be impaired.
Important:
Change the activated carbon filter promptly to prevent the risk of fire from the accumulation of heat when deep-fat frying or roasting.
Installation and removal:
Warning: The halogen bulbs must be switched off and cool.
- Remove the metal-mesh filters (see "Removing and inserting the metal-mesh grease filters").
- Insert the activated carbon filter.

- Engage the catches at both sides.

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.
If the exhaust air is going to be discharged into the open, a telescopic wall box should be fitted into the outside wall.
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.
The manufacturer of the extractor hoods accepts no liability for complaints which can be attributed to the design and layout of the pipework.
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.
φ 120 mm approx. 113 cm² φ 150 mm approx. 177 cm²
