Frequently Asked Questions - DWK093650 BOSCH

How to install the Bosch DWK093650 hood?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Keep a minimum distance of 65 cm between the hood and an electric hob, 75 cm for a gas hob. Firmly fix to the wall using the supplied wall plugs. Connect to a 150 mm diameter exhaust duct or use recirculation mode with a charcoal filter.

How to clean the grease filters?

The metal filters can be cleaned in the dishwasher at 65°C maximum or by hand with dish soap. Dry them completely before putting back. A light comes on to indicate it's time to clean them (every 2 to 3 months depending on use).

When to replace the charcoal filter?

The charcoal filter (optional for recirculation) must be replaced every 6 to 12 months depending on use. It is not washable. Refer to the manual for the compatible reference (Bosch model DKF...).

The hood is noisy, is this normal?

At maximum speed, the noise level can reach 62 dB, which is normal. If the noise is abnormal, check that the filters are properly secured, that the duct is not blocked, and that the hood is properly installed without vibrations.

How to turn on the lighting and change the bulbs?

The lighting is activated via the button on the hood. The built-in LEDs last a long time; if they fail, they must be replaced by a professional. Refer to the manual for the LED reference.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode without an external duct?

Yes, the hood can operate in recirculation mode. You must install an activated charcoal filter (not supplied) which purifies the air before releasing it back into the kitchen. See the manual for the recirculation kit.

What does the flashing light mean?

A flashing light indicates that the grease filters need to be cleaned (depending on the model). After cleaning, reset by pressing the corresponding button for 3 seconds. Consult the manual for the exact diagram.

The hood does not stop after cooking, is this normal?

Some models have an automatic delayed shutdown function (5 to 15 min). Check if this function is activated. If the problem persists, unplug for 5 min then plug back in. Contact customer service if necessary.

What is the electrical connection power?

The hood requires a 220-240 V, 50 Hz outlet protected by a 10 A circuit breaker. Total power: 250 W (motor + lighting). Do not use an extension cord.

Where to find spare parts (filters, controls)?

Spare parts are available from authorized Bosch retailers or on the official website. Use model number DWK093650 to identify references. The hood has a repairability index of 8/10, making it easy to find parts.

Description of appliance Operating modes

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.

If the extractor hood is operated in exhaust-air mode at the same time as a flue-type heater (e.g. gas, oil or solid-fuel heater, instantaneous water heater, boiler), ensure that there is an adequate air supply which the heater requires for combustion.

Safe operation is possible provided that the partial vacuum in the room in which the heater is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).

This can be achieved if the combustion air is able to flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and in conjunction with an air supply/air-in-take wall box or by other technical procedures such as reciprocal interlocking.

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.

Gas hobs / gas cookers

Do not use all the gas hotplates simultaneously for a prolonged period (max. 15 minutes) at maximum thermal load, otherwise there is a risk of burns if the housing surfaces are touched or a risk of damage to the extractor hood. If the extractor hood is situated over a gas hob, operate the hood at maximum setting if three or more gas hotplates are operated simultaneously.

Do not operate more than 2 gas cooking areas simultaneously over a period of max. 15 minutes at maximum thermal load.

Due to the effect of the heat there is a risk of burns if the surfaces of the housing are touched.

Note that one large burner of more than 5 kW (Wok) is equivalent to the power of 2 gas burners. Never operate a gas cooking area without a cooking utensil on it. Regulate the flame in such a way that it does not project over the cooking utensil.

Safety instructions

Do not flambé food directly under the extractor hood. Risk of grease filter catching fire due to flames. The hotplates must always be covered with a utensil. Restrictions apply to the use of the extractor hood over a solid-fuel burner (coal, wood, etc.). (See Installation instructions). Do not use the appliance if damaged. 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. If the connecting cable for this appliance is damaged, the cable must be replaced by the manufacturer or his customer service or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent serious injury to the user. The appliance may be connected to the mains by a qualified technician only. Dispose of packaging materials properly (see Installation instructions). This extractor hood is designed for domestic use only. 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.

Carefully clean the extractor hood before switching on for the first time.

Never allow children to play with the appliance.

Operating the extractor hood

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.

Key Function
A	Switches the extractor motor on and off at low speed.
B	Medium speed
C	Maximum speed
D	Switches the lighting system on and off.

Filters and maintenance

Grease filters:

Metal-mesh filters are used to trap the grease particles in the cooking vapours.

The filter mats are made from noncombustible metal.

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:

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.

Filters can be washed in the dishwasher. They need to be washed every 2 months, or even more frequently in case of particularly intensive use of the hood.

Removing and inserting metal self-supporting grease filters

First unhook the filter-holding grid by pressing it to the top to make it open.

Unhook the security chain by opening the shackle, then lift the grid upward.

Remove the filters one by one.

Any kind of bending of the filters has to be avoided when washing them. Before fitting them again into the hood, make sure that they are completely dry. (The colour of the filter surface may change over time, but this has no influence on the filter efficiency.) Put the clean filters back on the grid in its place. Hook the security chain and put the grid back onto the hood.

To open the grid, push strongly on the points indicated by the stickers.

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 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.

These filters are not washable and cannot be regenerated, and must be replaced approximately every year of operation, or more frequently with heavy usage.

Replacing the activated carbon filter

☐ Unhook the filter-holding grid (see “Removing and inserting metal self-supporting grease filters”). ☐ Remove the metal grease filters. ☐ Remove the saturated activated carbon filter by releasing the fixing hooks. ☐ Fit the new filter by hooking it into its seating. ☐ Replace the metal grease filters. ☐ Hook the filter-holding grid (see “Removing and inserting metal self-supporting grease filters”).

Disposal of the old activated carbon filter:

☐ Activated carbon filters do not contain any harmful substances. They can be disposed of as residual waste.

Cleaning and care

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

☐ 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. ☐ 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. ☐ Do not use scouring agents or abrasive sponges. ☐ 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.

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

Aluminium 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.
2. With the aid of a screwdriver, pull out the bulbs or, if it is not easy, remove the 2 screws fixing the lighting support, and pull it out from the hood.
3. Replace the halogen light bulb (conventional halogen bulb, 12 Volt, max. 20 Watt, GU4 bulb-holder).

Caution: Plug-in bulb holder.

1. Replace the support, fixing it in place with the two screws removed as above.
2. Restore the power by inserting the mains plug or switching on the fuse.

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

Important information

Old appliances are not worthless rubbish. Valuable raw materials can be reclaimed by recycling old appliances. Before disposing of your old appliance, render it unusable. ⚠️ You received your new appliance in a protective shipping carton. All packaging materials are environmentally friendly and recyclable. Please contribute to a better environment by disposing of packaging materials in an environmentally-friendly manner.

Please ask your dealer or inquire at your local authority about current means of disposal.

⚠ The extractor hood can be used in exhaust air or circulating air mode. ⚠️ Always mount the extractor hood over the centre of the hob. ⚠️ Minimum distance between electric hob and bottom edge of extractor hood: 460 mm. The extractor hood must not be installed over a solid fuel cooker – a potential fire hazard (e.g. flying sparks) – unless the cooker features a closed, non-removable cover and all national regulations are observed. The smaller the gap between the extractor hood and hotplates, the greater the likelihood that droplets will form on the underside of the extractor hood.

Additional information concerning gas cookers:

When installing gas hotplates, comply with the relevant national statutory regulations (e.g. in Germany: Technische Regeln Gasinstallation TRGI). ⚠️ Always comply with the currently valid regulations and installation instructions supplied by the gas appliance manufacturer. ⚠️ Only one side of the extractor hood may be installed next to a high-sided unit or high wall. Gap at least 50 mm. Minimum distance on gas hotplates between the upper edge of the trivet and lower edge of the extractor hood: 460 mm.

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 under-pressure 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 airintake/ 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.

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.

Prior to installation

Round pipes:

We recommend

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

☐ Flat ducts must have an internal crosssection that equates to that of round pipes.

There should be no sharp bends.

∅ 120 mm approx. 113 cm ²

∅ 150 mm approx. 177 cm²

☐ If pipes have different diameters: Insert sealing strip. ☐ For exhaust-air mode, ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air.

Connecting a ∅ 150 mm exhaust-air pipe:

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

Connecting a ∅ 120 mm exhaust-air pipe:

☐ Attach the reducing connector directly to the air pipe. ☐ Attach the exhaust-air pipe to the reducing connector.
