Frequently Asked Questions - DWK096655 BOSCH

How to install the Bosch DWK096655 hood?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Observe the safety distances from the hob (minimum 65 cm for electric cooking, 75 cm for gas cooking). Fix the hood to the wall with the supplied plugs and screws. Make sure the exhaust duct is properly connected if you are using extraction mode.

How to clean the grease filters?

The metal grease filters can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with hot water and detergent. Let them dry completely before putting them back. Clean them every 2 months approximately depending on usage.

What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes?

In extraction mode, the air is vented outside via a duct. In recirculation mode, the air is filtered by a charcoal filter (optional) and then returned to the kitchen. Recirculation mode requires the purchase of a specific charcoal filter.

How to install the charcoal filter?

Remove the grease filters, then insert the charcoal filter into its housing behind. Fix it by turning until it clicks. Then put the grease filters back. The charcoal filter should be replaced every 6 to 12 months.

The hood is noisy, what should I do?

Check that the hood is properly installed and that the grease filters are clean. If the noise persists, contact customer service. The normal noise level ranges from 45 to 65 dB(A) depending on the speed.

How to set the timer?

Press the timer button (clock) to activate the automatic shut-off. The hood will turn off after 10 minutes. You can also program a longer duration by pressing multiple times.

What bulbs to use to replace the lighting?

Use exclusively LED bulbs of type GU10 or G4 (depending on your model) with the characteristics indicated in the manual. Unplug the hood before any intervention.

The remote control does not work, what should I do?

Check the batteries of the remote control. If the problem persists, reset the connection by following the procedure in the manual: press and hold the 'OK' button for 3 seconds.

Where to find spare parts?

You can order spare parts (filters, bulbs) from Bosch customer service or on the official website. Use the reference DWK096655 to identify your model.

How to activate the intensive mode?

Press the 'Intensive' (or 'Boost') button to activate the intensive mode for 10 minutes. The hood runs at full power then automatically returns to the previous speed.

Household Appliances

Filter and Maintenance

Grease filter:

Troubleshooting

Rainbow air pressure can be obtained, provided combustion air can escape through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows, air-intake/exhaust-air wall boxes or by other technical procedures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.

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

Note: When assessing the air pressure, the entire ventilation system in the house/apartment must be taken into account. If using cooking appliances, e.g. hob and/or gas cooker, this rule does not apply.

Government regulations must be observed for the conveyance of exhaust air.

Operating mode

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.

If the extractor hood is in exhaust-air mode and a flue-type heater is running at the same time (e.g. gas, oil or solid-fuel heaters, continuous-flow heaters, water heaters), ensure that the fireplace has an adequate air supply for combustion.

Safe operation requires that the low air pressure in the room in which the fireplace is located does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).

Before using for the first time

Important notes:

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.

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.

Before using for the first time

⚠️ 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 11.3 kW, irrespective of the installed nominal output. Exception: The hotplates may be operated briefly (max. 15 minutes) at a heat load up to 13.5 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

The most effective method of removing vapours produced during cooking is to: Switch the ventilator ON as soon as you begin cooking. Switch the ventilator OFF a few minutes after you have finished cooking.

Filters and maintenance

Grease filter:

Two metal grease filters are inserted to soak up the fatty remains of the kitchen steam.

The filters are made of non-inflammable 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:

Danger of fire, which can occur through the accumulation of heat when deep frying or roasting, can be prevented by timely cleaning.

Saturation indicator: - +

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

Cleaning the grease filter:

The filters can be cleaned in a dish-washer. It is however possible that they will become slightly discoloured. Insert the outer filter so that the hooking-in holes are at the bottom and the rinsing water can run off. Do not clean very soiled grease filters together with dishes. 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.

Important:

Press the 0 button.

Filters and maintenance

Removing the grease filter:

1. Pull the bottom of the most outer filter until it comes away from the magnets.

1. Unhook the filter in a vertical position from the top.

1. Press the notch on the inner filter and fold the filter down.

Inserting the grease filter:

1. Insert the inner filter at the back and fold the filter upwards.

1. Hook in the outer filter in a vertical position.

1. Press the filter to the back, until the magnets take hold.

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.
2. Replace the halogen light bulb (conventional halogen bulb, 12 Volt, max. 20 Watt, G4 cap).

Caution: Refer to 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.
