Appliance description

Operating modes

Exhaust-air mode:

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).

Operating modes

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 corresponding accessory numbers can be found at the end of these operating instructions.

☐ 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.

Operating procedure

⚠ 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.

Setting the required fan speed:

☐ Press the + button. The fan speed is increased by one step. ☐ Press the – button. The fan speed is reduced by one step.

☐ Press the 0 button. Or: - Keep pressing the – button until the fan switches off.

Intensive setting:

Maximum power is obtained at the intensive setting. It is only required for short intervals.

☐ Keep pressing the + button until a ² appears in the display. ☐ If the intensive setting is not cancelled by hand, the fan will automatically switch back to step 2 after 10 minutes.

Lighting:

☐ Press the ⚙ button to switch the light on or off. ☐ The light can be switched on at any time, even though the fan is switched off.

Filters and maintenance

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 after 8 to 10 weeks. ☐ The filters can be cleaned in a dish-washer. 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. Then brush the filters clean, rinse them thoroughly and leave the water to drain off.

Filters and maintenance

Removing and inserting the metal grease filters:

Warning: The halogen bulbs must be switched off and cool.

1. Press the catch on the grease filters inwards and fold the 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.

Inserting the filter:

Warning: The halogen bulbs must be switched off and cool.

1. Remove the metal-mesh filters (see "Removing and inserting the metal-mesh grease filters").
2. Insert the activated carbon filter.

1. Engage the lug at the front.
2. Insert the metal grease filters (see "Removing and inserting the metal grease filters").

Removing the filter:

Warning: The halogen bulbs must be switched off and cool.

1. Remove the metal filters.
2. Press in the lug at the front and remove the activated carbon filter.

1. 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 once a year. A replacement filter can be obtained from any authorized dealer (see optional accessories). 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.

Cleaning and care

Disconnect the extractor hood from the electricity supply by pulling out the mains plug or switching it off at the fuse box.

At the same time as you clean the grease filters, 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. Use a hot detergent solution or a mild window cleaner to clean the canopy of the extractor hood. Do not scrape off any dirt that has dried on but loosen it up with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or sponges that could cause scratches. Note: Do not use alcohol (spirit) on plastic parts, otherwise the surface may become matt in appearance.

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.

Do not use any of the following to clean stainless steel surfaces: abrasive sponges, cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride!

Aluminium and plastic surfaces:

Use a soft, non-linting window cloth or micro-fibre cloth. Do not use dry cloths. Use a mild window cleaning agent. Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic cleaners. Do not use abrasive agents.

Replacing the light bulbs

1. Switch off the extractor hood and pull out the mains plug or switch off the electricity supply at the fuse box. When switched on, the halogen bulbs become very hot. Even for some time after the bulbs have been switched off there is still a risk of burns.
2. Remove the bulb ring with a screwdriver or similar tool.

1. Replace the halogen light bulb (conventional halogen bulb, 12 Volt, max. 20 Watt, G4 cap). Caution: Refer for plug-in lampholder. Take hold of the bulb with a clean cloth.

1. Re-insert the bulb ring.
2. Plug the appliance into the mains or switch it on at the fuse box.

Note: If the light does not function, check that the bulbs have been inserted correctly.

⚠ 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: 550 mm, Fig. 1.

⚠ 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 Regeln 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, Fig. 1.

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.

Exhaust air may be discharged in accordance with official and statutory regulations only (e.g. national building regulations).

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 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.

If the exhaust air is going to be discharged into the open, a telescopic wall box should be fitted into the outside wall.

Prior to installation

For optimum extractor hood efficiency:

☐ Short, smooth air exhaust pipe. ☐ As few bends in the pipe as possible. ☐ Diameter of pipe to be as large as possible and no tight bends in pipe. 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.

Round pipes:

We recommend Internal diameter: 150 mm (at least 120 mm).

☐ Flat ducts must have an internal cross-section that equates to that of round pipes.

There should be no sharp bends.

∅ 120 mm approx. 113 cm

∅ 150 mm approx. 177 cm

☐ If pipes have different diameters: Insert sealing strip.

☐ For exhaust-air mode, ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air.

Circulating-air mode

☐ With activated carbon filter if exhaust-air mode is not possible.

⚠️ The complete installation set can be obtained from specialist outlets. The corresponding accessory numbers can be found at the end of these operating instructions.

Connecting a φ 150 mm exhaust-air pipe:

☐ Mount the pipe directly onto the air outlet on the hood.

Connecting a φ 120 mm exhaust-air pipe:

☐ Attach the reducing connector directly to the air pipe.

☐ Attach the exhaust-air pipe to the reducing connector.
