4. Cleaning and care

Cleaning the grease filters The grease filter saturation display F flashes after an operating time of 30 hours to you indicate to you that you should clean the grease filter (see Fig. 8). The grease filters can of course be cleaned at any time, even if the grease filter saturation display has not started to flash. The stainless steel grease filters can be removed easily for cleaning (see Fig. 13): Disconnect the power supply (switch off the fuse). Grip the grease filter handle and push the slide towards the rear. Then pull the grease filter downwards out of the holder; repeat the operation for the other grease filters. You can clean the stainless steel grease filters in a dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 130°F / 55 °C, where it should be supported vertically to allow food or rinsing residues to drain off. If possible, the inner parts of the housing should be wiped out in hot rinsing water when replacing the filters. Caution: when cleaning the inside of the housing, beware of protruding parts. After having cleaned them, re-insert the grease filters in the extractor hood in reverse order. Important: the handles of both grease filters must be visible after assembly. Press the F key to set the elapsed hours counter to zero. Flashing of the indicating lamp goes off.

Fig. 15 Circulating air mode The activated charcoal filter eliminates kitchen smells in the circulating air mode. In normal use ( to 2 hours daily), the activated charcoal filter must be replaced approximately once a year. If no activated charcoal filter is installed, kitchen smells will not be eliminated. Replacing the activated charcoal filter remove the stainless steel grease filters. Push in the clips on the side of the activated charcoal filter and remove the activated charcoal filter downwardly. Push the clips to the side and remove the activated charcoal filter towards the front. Insert the activated charcoal filter at an angle. Then push the filter upwards, until the clips on the side lock into place. Re-insert the stainless steel grease filters. Activated charcoal filters (KF 001-010) are available through your specialist dealer. Only use original filters. Activated charcoal filters do not contain any dangerous substances. They can be disposed of through the household refuse collection. Cleaning the extractor hood Clean the exterior of your extractor hood with a soft cloth and mild detergent solution. Do not use any strong, caustic or abrasive cleaning agents. Do not use any abrasive sponges or brushes either. Clean the stainless-steel extractor hood with stainless steel cleaner. Cleaning the glass plates Apply commercially available window cleaning agent with a soft, moist cloth. To facilitate cleaning, you can detach the glass plates as follows: Detach the grease filters. In the extractor hood, you will find three openings on the upper side through which you can lift the glass plates singly with a blunt object (e.g. handle of a wooden spoon) to detach them with greater ease. If they are extremely soiled, the glass plates can be cleaned in a dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 130°F / 55 °C. Note: when putting the glass plates back in place, make sure that you do not scratch the chimney. Replace the glass plates with the printed side facing down. Position the glass plates at the chimney side first. Cleaning the aluminium panel Clean the control panel with a sponge and mild detergent solution only. Dry with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any strong or caustic cleaning agents or brushes and abrasive cleaner to clean it. Do not use strongly alkaline cleaning agents (such as oven spray) because these are aggressive to the aluminium surface. Do not use any abrasive sponges either.

The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply during all repair work. If the appliance does not function correctlÿ, check the fuses first. If the power supply is functioning correctly, but your appliance still does not work, please contact your Gaggenau dealer who will provide you with the address and telephone number of your nearest manufacturer's authorized service agent or contact Gaggenau USA on [phone]. Specify the appliance type (see rating plate). Repairs may only be carried out by authorised technicians, in order to guarantee the safety of the appliance. Unauthorised tampering with the appliance will invalidate any warranty claims. Only use original spare parts.

6. Assembly instructions

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: à.) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction. b.) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion end exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel buming equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities. c.) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. d.)Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors. e.)[f this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the appli- cation and be connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) - protected branch circuit. £.) NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.

To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

‘Weight without support frame and LK: 35kg Weight with support frame and LK: max. 60kg Dimensions : 47%/16"x 279/16" Electrical connection Pay attention to the rating plate data. The appliance must only be connected by an authorised specialist. The specialist is respon- sible for perfect functioning of the appliance at its installation location. He must explain the operating principle of the appliance to the user with refe- rence to the operating instructions. He must explain to the user how the appliance can be isolated from the mains whenever required. Connection possibilities The plug of the connecting cable is inserted into the socket on the ceiling. ff this is not possible, the disconnection of all the poles of the appliance from the mains must be achieved by way of the domestic fuse, or by using an accessible disconnecting device with a contact gap of at least 3.0 mm.

The applicable regulations of the energy supply companies and the regional construction regulations must be observed when installing the hood. This hood has been approved for installations as low as 30” and as high as 36” above the cooktop. The hood can be used in the exhaust or circulating air mode. The exhaust air can be routed into a separate exhaust air shaft or directly into the open through the outside wall. Itis not allowed to pass the exhaust air into a flue or exhaust air chimney that is in operation or into a shaft that is linked to the heating basement. Consult the chimney sweep responsible for your district whenever you wish to pass the exhaust air into a chimney that is not in operation. During the course of planning, a chimney sweep must be consulted if a room aï-dependent hearth is operated in the same room as the one in which a hood is operated in the exhaust air mode. Adequate incoming air must be ensured. The applicable construction and safety regulations must be observed. Adequate incoming air must be ensured if a wood, coal, gas or oil heater or an open hearth is operated in the same room as the one in which the hood is installed. Safe operation is possible whenever the partial vacuum in the place where the firing equipment is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved whenever the air needed for combustion is able to enter through openings that cannot be sealed, for example in doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or other technical means.

Flexible aluminium pipes, corrosion-protected sheet metal pipes and exhaust air pipes whose material conforms to fire B1 in accordance with DIN 4102 can be used. Exhaust air pipes should have a nominal diameter of 6”/ 150 mm. Pay particular attention to ensuring that — the exhaust air ducts and pipes are kept as short as possible — the pipes are not laid at an acute angle, but as bends and that they are inserted into the shaft at an inclined upward angle and — there are no cross-sectional constrictions in the upward direction (this reduces the volume flow). 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 hood accepts no liability for complaints which can be attributed to the design and layout of the pipework. As standard, the blow-out opening of the extractor hood is in the upward direction. To pass exhaust air through the outer wall, we recommend the use of our telescopic wall box TM 150-046 (@ 6”/ 150 mm). Note: To prevent the ingress of water, e.g. condensate or rain water from an uncovered exhaust air shaft, our condensate separator RV 060-150 must be installed in the exhaust air line. The condensate separator must still be acciessible after installation.

If required, custom made duct units are available at an extra charge. The electrical socket must be placed within the ventilation duct on the ceiling. To use above gas cooker / gas hob Important: do not use all bumners on the highest setting simultaneously over a longer period of time (max. 15 minutes). This will pose a risk of bums when touching the hot appliance exterior or parts of the extractor hood may become damaged. Switch the extractor hood to the highest setting when three or more bumers of a gas cooker are used simultaneously.

Note: the extractor hood is to be installed to a kitchen ceiling or suspended ceiling. Ensure that the ceiling is capable of providing a firm hold for a maximum weight of hood and accessories of 45 kg. Before marking the securing holes, make sure that no electricity wires or water pipes or other wires/ pipes are laid at the drilling points in the ceiling. Before installation check the enclosed wall plugs and screws are suitable for your ceiling. If necessary use special wall plugs. Installation of the extractor hood:

1. Using the drilling template mark the position of

the screws on the ceiling.

2. Drill 4 holes @ 8 mm for the wall plugs. Push the

plugs flush with the ceiling (Fig. 19).

3. Tum two screws to a 10 mm gap. Both screws

are placed in a position, in which at a later stage of the installation the key-holes of the supporting frame are found (namely back left and front right from the control panel of the hood).

4. Adjust the support frame to the desired height

and secure with 8 screws (12 screws for the longer ventilation ducts). The length of the support frame can be adjusted in steps of 20 mm (Fig. 20). Note: this hood has been approved for installations as low as 30” and as high as 86” above the cooktop. Circulating air mode only: there are four brackets, which fix the circulating air switch module to the top of the support frame. These should be bent outward in a 90° angle (Fig. 21).

5. Hang the support frame with the two key-holes

to the two screws in the ceiling and attach it with all 4 screws to the ceiling. The marking “FRONT” must be on the same side as the control panel after installation. Circulating air mode only: assemble the circulating air switch module and fix it to support frame (Fig. 22 and 23). Cut the flexible aïr pipe to the required length and fix it to the extractor hood.

6. Remove the cover plate from the rear of the

. Slide the extractor hood into the on the side of the support frame (Note: take care not to trap the mains connecting cable) and immediately secure the hood with 4 screws (Fig. 25). . Screw the cover plate back on the rear of the support frame. The cover plate is important for the stability of the frame. . Connect the air outlet pipe to the extractor hood and to the exhaust air pipe on the ceiling (to the circulating air switch module for circulating air mode). . Establish the electrical connection. . Pull the protective film off the chimney's trims (if applicable). . Avoid damaging the sensitive surfaces when installing the ventilation ducts. . Secure the top chimney duct unit which has no magnetic strips with 2 screws on the top of the support frame (Fig. 26). The second top chimney duct (which has magnetic strips) should be slightly bent open, in order to slide over the first chimney duct easily. Adjust (leave no gap) and fix with 2 screws to the top of the support frame (Fig. 26). Place the bottom chimney duct unit which has no magnetic strips on the extractor hood. The second bottom chimney duct (which has magnetic strips) should be slightly bent open, in order to slide over the first chimney duct easily. Adjust to leave no gap (Fig. 27). Circulating air mode only: insert the activated charcoal filter (see page 10). The activated charcoal filter is not supplied with the appliance. . Test that the appliance functions correctly. Note: only dismantle the chimney ducts by hand. Do not use a tool, this might damage the ventilation ducts. 9000032547 en 05.05 EB
