Frequently Asked Questions - DWC046750 BOSCH

How to install the DWC046750 hood?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Observe safety distances: at least 65 cm above an electric hob and 75 cm for a gas hob. Ensure the exhaust duct is properly connected.

How to clean the grease filters?

The metal grease filters are dishwasher safe or can be hand washed with warm soapy water. Let them dry completely before reinstalling. Clean them every 2 months approximately.

When should the carbon filter be replaced?

The carbon filter is not washable and must be replaced every 6 to 12 months depending on usage. Use the reference DWC046750Z recommended by Bosch.

How to adjust the extraction speed?

Use the push buttons on the control panel. The 3 normal speeds cover daily needs and the intensive button provides maximum suction for strong odors or steam.

The hood is noisy, is this normal?

The maximum noise level is 65 dB(A) in intensive speed. In normal speed, the noise is lower. If the noise is abnormal, check that the filters are properly secured and that nothing is blocking the duct.

How to use the delay shut-off function?

Press the timer button (clock) after selecting a speed. The hood will automatically turn off after 10 minutes, allowing residual odors to be evacuated.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, if your kitchen does not have an external exhaust duct. You must then install a carbon filter (sold separately) and direct the air outlet into the room.

How to change the LED bulb?

The LED bulbs are integrated and must be replaced by a qualified professional. Contact Bosch customer service for spare parts.

Operating modes

Exhaust air mode:

Safety instructions

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).

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 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.

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.

Fan OFF Reduce fan speed Fan ON and increase speed Intensive setting

Acoustic signal:

☐ When a button is pressed, this is verified by an acoustic signal.

Setting the required fan speed:

☐ Press the + button. The fan speed is increased by one step. ☐ Press the – button. The fan speed is reduced by one step.

☐ Press the 0 button. The displayed ☐ goes out shortly afterwards.

Or:

- Keep pressing the – button until the fan switches off. The displayed ☐ goes out shortly afterwards.

Intensive setting:

Maximum power is obtained at the intensive setting. It is only required for short intervals.

☐ Keep pressing the + button until a P appears in the display. ☐ If the intensive setting is not cancelled by hand, the fan will automatically switch back to step 2 after 10 minutes.

Fan follow-on:

□ Press the button.

The fan continues to run at step 1 for 10 minutes, and at the same time a dot flashes in the display. After this period the fan switches off automatically.

Lighting:

The light can be switched on at any time, even though the fan is switched off.

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 becomes saturated, the display symbol = lights up and a signal sounds. The signal is switched off when the fan is switched off. 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 1 x a month. The filters can be cleaned in a dish-washer. It is however possible that they will become slightly discoloured. 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 of all. Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic cleaners. 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. Press the handles on the grease filters downwards and fold the grease filters down.

1. Clean the filters.
2. Insert the clean filters back into the hood.
3. Clearing the display.

Press the 0 button 2 x in succession.

A signal sounds and the display goes out.

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.

Saturation indicator:

When the activated carbon filter becomes saturated, the display symbol lights up and a signal sounds. The signal is switched off when the fan is switched off.

The activated carbon filter should be replaced straight away.

Filters and maintenance

Installation:

Attention: The halogen bulbs must be switched off and must have cooled down.

1. Remove the metal filters (see "Removing and inserting the metal grease filters").
2. Insert the activated-carbon filters. To do this, connect the filters to the pins on the sides of the fan.

1. Rotate the filters in the direction of the arrow until they engage. If the filters have been installed correctly, they can no longer be removed.
2. Insert the metal grease filters (see "Removing and inserting the metal grease filters").
3. Clearing the display.

☐ Press the 0 button 2 x in succession. A signal sounds and the display goes out.

Removing the filter:

Attention: The halogen bulbs must be switched off and must have cooled down.

1. Remove the metal filters.
2. Rotate the filters against the direction of the arrow and pull them out.
3. Insert the metal grease filters.

Replacing the activated carbon filter:

☐ During normal operation (1 to 2 hours per day) the activated carbon filters should be replaced approximately 1 x year. ☐ A replacement filter can be obtained from any authorized dealer. ☐ Use original filters only. By doing so you will obtain maximum performance from your extractor hood.

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

Isolate the extractor hood by pulling out the mains plug or switching off the fuse.

⚠ Do not clean the extractor hood with abrasive sponges or with cleaning agents which contain sand, soda, acid or chlorine! ☐ Clean the extractor hood with a hot soap solution or a mild window cleaner. ☐ Do not scrape off dried-on dirt but wipe off with a damp cloth. ☐ When cleaning the grease filters, remove grease deposits from accessible parts of the housing. This prevents the risk of fire and ensures that the extractor hood continues operating at maximum efficiency. ☐ Note: Do not use alcohol (spirit) on plastic surfaces, as dull marks may appear.

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. ☐ We recommend our stainless steel cleaner no. 461731. See enclosed service booklet for order address.

Aluminium and plastic surfaces:

☐ Do not use dry cloths. ☐ Use a mild window cleaning agent. ☐ Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic cleaners.

Observe the warranty regulations in the enclosed service booklet.

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.
2. Using a screwdriver, carefully remove the halogen bulb.

Attention: If the halogen bulb is not removed properly, the appliance may be damaged.

1. Replace the halogen bulb (commercially available halogen bulb 12 V, max. 20 W, G4 bulb holder). Ensure that the contacts are in the correct position. Attention: Take hold of the halogen bulb with a clean cloth.
