Before using the first time

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.
The appliance should only be connected up to the mains and taken into use by a qualified specialist.
Dispose of packaging materials properly (see Installation instructions).
Defective bulbs should be replaced immediately to prevent the remaining bulbs from overloading.
Light bulbs must always be fitted when the extractor hood is in use.
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.
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).

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.

How to operate 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.

Operating controls on different models

Note: The light can be switched on at any time, including when the vapour extractor tray has been pushed back into the hood.

Filters and maintenance

Various types of grease filter can be used to absorb the grease contained in the vapours produced during cooking.

Fleece grease filter

The filter mat is made from material that is itself virtually non-inflammable.

Caution:

As it becomes more and more saturated with grease however, the filter becomes increasingly inflammable. The efficiency of the extractor hood can also be adversely affected.

Important:

Renewing the fleece filter at appropriate intervals prevents the possibility of it catching fire as a result of a build-up of heat, such as occurs when deep-fat frying or roasting is taking place.

Renewing the fleece filter:

Under normal operating conditions (1 to 2 hours per day), the fleece filter will require replacing after 8 to 10 weeks. Printed fleece filters must be renewed no later than when the coloured printing has started to fade.
Use only original replacement filters. In so doing you will ensure that safety regulations are upheld and the extractor hood performs as effectively as possible.

Disposing of the old fleece grease filter:

Fleece grease filters do not contain any pollutants. They can be composted and disposed of as biodegradable waste.

Filters and maintenance

Metal grease filter

The filter mat is made of non-combustible metal.

Caution:

As it becomes more and more saturated with grease, the filter also becomes increasingly inflammable. The efficiency of the extractor hood can also be adversely affected.

Important:

Clean the metal grease filter at regular intervals.

Cleaning the metal filter:

Under normal operating conditions (1 to 2 hours per day), the metal grease filter will require cleaning after 8 to 10 weeks.

The filter can be cleaned in a dishwasher. This can however cause slight discoloration.

Important:

Metal filters that are heavily saturated with grease should not be cleaned at the same time as any crockery, etc.

If the filter mat is going to be cleaned by hand, soak it first of all in a hot detergent solution for several hours. Clean the filter with a brush, rinse it off thoroughly and allow it to drip dry.
Use only original replacement filters. In so doing you will be ensuring that the extractor hood performs as effectively as possible.

Cleaning and care

Switch off the extractor hood and isolate by pulling out the mains plug or switching off the disconnector on the installation side.

At the same time as you renew the grease filter (see Filters and maintenance), clean off any grease from all accessible parts of the housing. This significantly reduces the fire hazard and ensures that the extractor hood performs as effectively as possible.
Clean the extractor hood with a hot detergent solution or a mild window cleaning agent.
If the hood is extremely dirty (older stains), use a liquid window cleaner.
Do not scratch off dried-on dirt, but wipe off with a damp cloth.
Do not use scouring agents.

Warning: Clean the control buttons with a mild detergent solution and a soft, damp cloth only.

Painted, aluminium and plastic surfaces:

• Do not use scouring agents or abrasive sponges.
  Do not use dry cloths.
• Do not use corrosive, acidic or alkaline cleaning agents.

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: 650 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 Regel 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: 650 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.

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 underpressure in the room where the burner is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).

This can be achieved if the combustion air can be replenished by being able to flow through non-closeable openings such as in doors, windows, wall ventilation boxes, or by alternative technical measures such as reciprocally shutting the other device off, etc.

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.

All legal requirements concerning the discharge of exhaust air must be observed. Unrestricted operation is possible if the extractor hood is used in recirculating mode - with activated carbon filter.

The extractor hood should be fitted with a one-way flap for exhaust-air mode if there is not already one installed in the exhaust-air pipe or wall box. If a one-way flap is not enclosed with the appliance, purchase one from a specialist outlet (see optional accessories on the last page).

Attaching the one-way flap

• Insert the two lugs on the one-way flap into the holes on the air-pipe connector or air outlet and lock into position.

Before installing the one-way flap, ensure that the lettering or stamp is on the outside.

Prior to installation

Optimum performance of the extractor hood:

Short, smooth extraction pipe.
As few pipe bends as possible.
- Largest possible pipe diameter (preferably 150mm ) and large pipe bends.
Round pipes:

We recommend for single-motor model, inner diameter of at least 120mm for double-motor model. inner diameter of at least 150mm

Flat ducts must have an inner cross-section equivalent to round pipes which have an inner diameter of 120/150 mm.
120 mm approx. 113 cm²
150 mm approx. 177 cm²
If pipe diameters differ: use sealing strip.
Ensure an adequate air supply for exhaust-air mode.

Recirculated air mode

The air cleaned by an additional activated carbon filter is conveyed back into the room.
In recirculated air mode the exhaust opening must be protected by a grille (see optional accessories on the last page) in order to prevent a mechanical or electrical hazard.

Electrical connection Installation

The extractor hood must be connected to a correctly installed earthed socket only.

Attach the earthed socket as close to the appliance as possible and in an accessible position. If the earthed socket is no longer accessible following installation of the extractor hood, a disconnector must be provided on the installation side. Disconnectors are switches with a contact opening of more than 3mm and all-pole disconnection. LS switches and contactors are regarded as disconnectors.

The appliance must be isolated before repairs are carried out.
