Before any intervention, disconnect the hood. The bulbs are halogen 12 V, 20 W max, G4 socket. Carefully remove the old bulb using a screwdriver, then insert the new one while holding it with a clean tissue to avoid grease marks.

Can I use the hood without the grease filter?

No, it is imperative to always use the hood with a grease filter in place. Without the filter, grease particles can accumulate and pose a fire risk.

How to adjust the suction speed?

Press the button corresponding to the desired speed. Speeds are selectable via the control buttons.

Can the hood operate in recirculation mode?

Yes, the hood can operate in recirculation mode with a charcoal filter (not provided). In this case, the air is filtered and then returned to the kitchen.

What to do if the lighting does not work after bulb replacement?

Check that the bulbs are correctly inserted and that the contacts are in the right position. Also ensure the hood is powered on.

How to clean stainless steel surfaces?

Use a special non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the polish. Avoid scouring pads and products containing chlorine or acid.

Can I use an open flame under the hood?

No, it is strictly forbidden to flambé food under the hood. Flames can ignite the grease filter.

Where to find the E and FD numbers for after-sales service?

These numbers are on the rating plate inside the appliance, accessible after removing the filter grille. Note them for any claim.

☐ 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.

Important notes:

☐ The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.
☐ This extractor hood complies with all relevant safety regulations.

Repairs should be carried out by qualified technicians only.

Improper repairs may put the user at considerable risk.

Before using your appliance for the first time, please read these Instructions for Use carefully. They contain important information concerning your personal safety as well as on use and care of the appliance.

determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

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.

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).

Setting the required fan speed:

☐ Press the corresponding button.

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.

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 dishwasher. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
