USER MANUAL Abajo Gutmann

Thank you for choosing a GUTMANN extractor hood

Please read the following information and explanations on the proper use of your new GUTMANN hood carefully before using the appliance for the first time. Please also observe the operating information in these instructions so that you can enjoy your new device for as long as possible.en

Safety information These operating and installation instruc- tions contain important information which must be observed in order to en- sure the safe and reliable operation of the ABAJO extractor hood. Please store them in a safe place for future reference. These operating instructions apply to several versions of the appliance. They may contain descriptions of certain fea- tures not found on your model. The ABAJO extractor hood must not be used by persons (incl. children) with impaired physical or mental capabilities or per- sons who lack experience and/or knowl- edge of how to use it. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Intended use

The ABAJO extractor hood may only be used to extract kitchen vapours from cooking appliances in private house- holds. Any other use will be deemed to be improper. Improper use of the hood may pose a danger to persons and ob- jects. Installation The device may only be installed and connected by an authorised technician observing all relevant regulations of the power supply companies and the build- ing regulations of the federal states. During installation, observe the relevant instructions! Damaged appliances may not be put into operation. Defective parts must be replaced with genuine GUT- MANN parts. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised technical staff. Danger of intoxication! If the ABAJO extractor hood is operated in extraction mode at the same time as other room-air-dependent fire appli- ances (e.g., wood, gas, oil or coal-fired appliances) in the same room, lethal combustion gases may be directed back into the room due to the resulting nega- tive pressure. For this reason, you must ensure a sufficient air supply at all times! The negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). Fire hazard! The ABAJO extractor hood must never be operated without the grease filter and must not be left unattended. Filters that are overfilled with grease can pose a fire hazard! Never leave the extractor hood unattended when deep-frying! Remem- ber to clean out the filters regularly. The use of gas cookers and flambéing are forbidden with the extractor hood. Preparing for use The extractor hood model complies with the relevant safety regulations for kitchen appliances in private house- holds. The requirements regarding the installation location are described in the user documentation supplied with the appliance. If you have any doubts as to whether your intended installation loca- tion meets the requirements, please contact our service department. Transport, unpacking, installation Condensation may occur if the appli- ance is brought into the installation site from a cold environment. Please wait until the appliance has adjusted to the temperature and is completely dry be- fore operating it. The acclimatization period depends on the temperature dif- ference and the type and design of the appliance. However, it should be at least 12 hours. Connecting the power supply Check that the rated voltage indicated on the appliance matches the mains voltage in your area. Connection to the incorrect voltage will damage or destroy the appliance. Before switching on the appliance, check that all cables and lines are prop- erly fitted and undamaged. Make sure in particular that the cables are not kinked, that they are not pulled too tightly around corners and that no objects areen

resting on them. Also make sure that all plug connections are securely inserted. Faulty shielding or wiring poses a health hazard (electric shock) and can destroy other appliances. Appliances with mains plugs are fitted with a safety-tested mains cable for the respective country of use and may only be connected to a correctly earthed safety socket. Other- wise, there is a risk of electric shock. Make sure that the socket on the appli- ance or the domestic safety socket is easily accessible so that the mains ca- ble can be unplugged from the socket in an emergency or during servicing and maintenance work. Risk of electric shock! Do not clean the hood with a steam cleaner or water pressure cleaner. The hood must be disconnected from the power supply prior to cleaning. Design From an aesthetic perspective, the extractor hood may differ from the diagrams in these operating instructions. However, the operat- ing instructions, maintenance, cleaning and installation are always the same. General method of operation The new ABAJO recess ventilator from GUTMANN features a vapour opening located in the centre between the oven's two hot plates. Below the vapour opening, the top of which is covered by a permeable grid, is an extraction duct, which is connected to an exhaust fan via an exhaust air chan- nel system, which extracts the vapours which arise during cooking through the grid away from the hot plate. The model offers effective extraction with simple handling and is available in the "internal motor exhaust air", "internal motor recirculating air" and "external motor" fan versions.

Operation The hood is operated via touch controls (some pressure required). The opening of the vent (extraction opening) is con- trolled manually. When the vent is moved downwards, the electronics are connected to the electricity supply. The integrated electromagnet is activated and keeps the vent down. The indirect LED illumination is switched on automatically. The closing of the vent is controlled electrically by pressing the vent symbol. Once the vent is closed, the hood no longer consumes any energy. (0 watt standby)

A Setting 1 When this symbol is pressed, the fan runs at 50%. B Setting 2 When this symbol is pressed, the fan runs at full speed. C After-run When this symbol is pressed, the after- run is activated. The motor switches from setting 2 back to setting 1 and switches off automatically after 15 minutes. D Closing the vent When this symbol is pressed, the elec- tricity supply to the hood is disconnected and the vent closes automatically. E LED illumination When the vent is opened, the LED illu- mination switches on automatically. This can be switched off at any time using a separate switch.

Cleaning and care Cleaning the surfaces Danger due to electric shock! Discon- nect the extractor hood from the power supply by pulling the plug out of the socket or by switching off the fuse. Dur- ing cleaning, make sure that no water penetrates the device or comes into contact with the electronic components. Timely cleaning of the surface saves the later laborious removal of stubborn con- tamination. Only use conventional deter- gents or universal cleaning agents for cleaning suitable for stainless steel/ aluminium. Never use abrasive cleaning agents or steel wool. After cleaning the hood, treat the stainless steel surfaces with a stainless steel care product. These grease deposits occur for physi- cal reasons and are not due to a mal- function of the hood. Please clean here regularly to avoid severe soiling. Note: Do not use alcohol (spirits) on plastic surfaces, as dull spots may result. A C D B Een

Metal filter Removing the filter Fire hazard! Grease residues decrease the extractor’s performance and in- crease the fire hazard. The metal filter must be cleaned regularly to prevent a fire hazard. The grease filters must be cleaned twice a week.

Cleaning the grease filter The metal filter is best cleaned in the dishwasher or with a mild dishwashing agent. The manufacturer accepts no liability whatsoever for any discolour- ation caused by the use of aggressive dishwashing agents. Temperatures ex- ceeding 55 degrees must be avoided in all cases. Caution: Do not use multiphase cleaning agents. Do not clean the filter in an in- dustrial washing machine. Cleaning with aggressive agents such as petrol, ace- tone, trichlorethylene, etc., will destroy the filters! Activated carbon filter Regenerative activated carbon filters The activated carbon filters are behind the extraction grid and can be removed by simply pulling them forwards. The activated carbon filters can be re- generated in a preheated oven (200°C); the process takes 2 hours. Note! Risk of burning!

• Do no regenerate the activated carbon filters in a microwave oven.

• The oven's pyrolysis function must never be used to regenerate the acti- vated carbon filter.

• The activated carbon filters must be cleaned with a damp cloth before their regeneration. The activated carbon filters must only be taken out of the oven once they have cooled down. Regenerating the filters in the oven may cause unpleasant smells in the oven! The frequency at which the activated carbon filter honeycomb needs to be regenerated depends on the intensity of the cooking. Nevertheless, the activated carbon filters should always be regener- ated every 2-3 months. Moreover, the activated carbon filter must be cleaned with a damp cloth every 2-3 months. Faults Please contact our service department immediately in the following cases:

• If the extractor hood creates unusual noises and you are unable to detect any faults after checking the extraction air line.

• If you discover, for example, by hearing strange noises, that the motor is faulty or defective.

• If the switches are not working properly.

• If the vent of the ventilation slit does not open or close properly.en
