À Important Safety Instructions Fire Safety Read and save these instructions. Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen. À WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF À GREASE FIRE: a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings. b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé). c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element. In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames. Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires. À WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately,

Operating Principle The backsplash ventilation is an effective air recirculation system, which extracts the vapors directly behind the cooktop towards the rear. The centrifugal grease filters separate the greasy components from the extracted air. The grease is collected in the trays. The grease fine filter absorbs any remaining grease particles. The activated carbon filter in the fan housing traps odors, the exhaust outlet for the clean air is in the furniture cabinetry toekick. air intake centrifugal grease filters grease fine filter (fleece filter) grease collecting trays fan housing activated carbon filter exhaust outlet

Operation When pressed, all function selection keys are backlit in green, except 0 (“Motor off”). Ventilation Three fan speeds and one intensive speed are available. You set the fan speed required for each respective cooking process by pressing the function selector keys 1, 2, 3 or Int. Intensive Mode The Int key for the intensive level should be pressed when browning and frying in an open pan. If you have switched on the ventilator by selecting the intensive level, it will be switched off again automatically after 5 minutes. If you press the Int key while the ventilator is running at fan level 1, 2 or 3, the electronic control will switch back automatically to the previously selected fan level after 5 minutes. If you would like to end the intensive level before the 5 minutes have elapsed, press the 0 key (“Motor off") or select a different level. It is possible to switch off the fan at any time by pressing the 0 key (“Motor off"). Light The lighting can be switched on or off, regardless of whether the backsplash ventilation is in operation, by pressing the ‘ key.

Special Functions Setting the Intensive Mode Duration You can select an intensive level running time of 8, 5 or 10 minutes by simultaneously pressing the Int key and the 1, 2 or 3 key. When delivered, the appliance is set to five minutes, i.e. the combination of the Int key and the key 2. Delayed Shutoff Delayed shutoff is possible at any level. First press the required key 1, 2, 3 or Int and then press the © key. The delayed shutoff time for all levels is ten minutes. After these ten minutes, the fan switches off, but the lighting stays on. Interval Ventilation Interval ventilation is a special feature of this appliance which periodically activates the fan for five minutes every hour. You can activate this function by simultaneously pressing the 0 key and, depending on the required extraction capacity, the 1,2 or 3 key. This mode of operation is indicated by alternating illumination of the © key together with the corresponding fan level indicator. You can switch off interval ventilation by pressing the O key.

Cleaning and Care Cleaning the Housing Clean the stainless steel surface of the ventilator housing with mild detergent solution or a non- scouring stainless steel cleaner. Only wipe in the direction of the brushed surface. To finish, apply some stainless steel care agent with a soft cloth. Do not use aggressive, abrasive or caustic cleaning agents. Do not use cleaning agents that contain sand or chloride. Do not use scouring pads or brushes. Use glass cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the lamp glass cover. Do not put stainless steel cleaner onto the lamp glass cover. lamp glass cover TRS ventilation panel 1 centrifugal grease filters ? grease fine filter (fleece filter) Î grease collecting trays ventilator lid activated carbon filter

Cleaning the Grease Filters The grease filter saturation display F flashes after an operating time of 10 hours to indicate that you should clean the grease filters. Depending on the cooking habits it may be necessary to clean the grease filters at shorter intervals (for example if kitchen smells appear when the ventilation is switched off). The centrifugal grease filters can be easily removed for cleaning: 1 Disconnect the appliance from the power supply (switch off fuse). 2 Tiltthe ventilation panel to the rear. For easier cleaning you can remove the panel: On both sides of the panel at the top, lift over the studs and remove to the front. 3 Remove the centrifugal grease filters one by one (from right to left). 4 Remove the grease collecting trays (from right to left) and empty. You can clean the centrifugal grease filters and the grease collecting trays in a dishwasher. Place the filters upright in the dishwasher, with the opening face down. Wipe out the inner parts of the housing with a moist cloth and some detergent when removing the filters. Caution: Beware of protruding parts when cleaning the inside of the housing. Do not pour any liquid into the housing. If liquid accidentally enters the housing, it will reappear at the base. Refit the grease filters in the correct order (from left to right). Refit the parts so that the markings correspond with the markings on the housing. Press the F key to reset the counter. Flashing of the indicating lamp goes off.

Replacing the Activated Carbon Filter The activated carbon filter in the fan housing (lower part of the appliance) eliminates smells from the extracted air. For hygienic reasons, change the activated carbon filter together with the grease fine filter at least every six months or when kitchen smells appear. The activated carbon filter with the grease fine filter is available from your specialist dealer. Only use original filters. Note: If no activated carbon filter is fitted orifit is saturated, no odors can be removed from the circulating air. 1 Disconnect the appliance from the power supply (switch off fuse). 2 Openthe latches on the bottom of the fan housing. Take off the ventilator lid by pulling the bottom edge. 3 Remove activated carbon filter. Insert new activated carbon filter. The filter mat must lie flat. 4 Refit the ventilator lid. Activated carbon filters do not contain any polluting substances. They can be disposed of through the household refuse collection. Replacing the Grease Fine Filter The grease fine filter (fleece filter) is fitted behind the centrifugal grease filters. 1 Disconnect the appliance from the power supply (switch off fuse). 2 Tiltthe ventilation panel to the rear. 3 Remove the centrifugal grease filters one by one (from right to left). 4 Pull out the grease fine filter from the mounting. 5 Pushthe new grease fine filter under the braces. Refit the centrifugal grease filters in the reverse order (from left to right). Grease fine filters do not contain any polluting substances. They can be disposed of through the household refuse collection.

Lamp Replacement Wait until the appliance has cooled down before replacing lamp.

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply (switch off fuse). Remove loose objects from the cover. Lift off cover. First turn florescent lamp in the socket, then lift off fluorescent lamp. Only replace defective fluorescent lamp by lamp of the same type. Insert the new fluorescent lamp into the socket. Turn the fluorescent lamp in the socket until it engages.
