min. 30"⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP 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.
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.
Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood draws flames into the filter.
There is a risk of fire due to deposits on the grease filter!
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.
CAUTION: Grease left on filters can remelt and move into the vent.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a closefitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN. You may be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or towels. A violent steam explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3) The fire department is being called.
4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Light/fan switches Filter grill LightingEXHAUST-AIR MODE:
☐ The hood fan extracts kitchen vapors and conveys them through the grease filter and then into the air.
☐ The grease filter absorbs solid particles in the kitchen vapors.
☐ The kitchen is kept mostly free of grease and odors.
When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with a different heating system that 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 heating system for combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the negative pressure in the room where the heating system is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through non-lockable openings, such as doors, windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box, or by using other technical means, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.
CAUTION
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by providing adequate air intake so combustion gases are not drawn back into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the maximum threshold will not be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall requirements, 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 cooktops and ovens.
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 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.
☐ Please retain the operating and installation instructions for any subsequent owner.
CAUTION
Avoid risk of burns or damage to hood.
Do not use all gas burners simultaneously at high settings for a prolonged period of time (max.15 minutes).
If the hood is located over a gas cooktop, operate the hood at maximum setting whenever three or more gas burners are being used.
OPERATION
IMPORTANT: The most effective way to remove vapors 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.

FILTERS AND MAINTENANCE
GREASE FILTERS:
Metal filters are used to trap the grease in vapors 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 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 heat build-up, such as when deep-fat frying or roasting, is reduced.
Saturation indicator:
When the grease filters reach saturation point, the CLEAN FILTER LED lights up. The grease filters should be cleaned right away. To switch off the LED, press the CLEAN FILTER button for 6 seconds.
Cleaning the metal grease filters:
☐ Under normal use (1 to 2 hours daily), the metal grease filters must be cleaned once a month.
☐ The filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher. They may, however, become slightly discolored.
☐ The filter must be placed loosely, and NOT wedged, in the dishwasher.
Important:
Do not wash grease-saturated metal filters together with other dishes, etc.
☐ When cleaning the filters by hand, soak them in hot soapy water.
Do not use aggressive, acidic or abrasive cleaners. Brush the filters clean, rinse them thoroughly, shake off water and let them dry.
Removing and inserting the metal grease filters:
⚠ Warning: Avoid risk of burns. The halogen bulbs must be switched off and cool.
- Press the grease filter locks and pull the filters down. At the same time, hold the underside of the grease filters with your other hand.

CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING: To avoid risk of fire and explosion, do not use flammable liquids or solvents.
Always unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean the hood with abrasive sponges or with cleaning agents that contain sand, baking soda, acid or chlorine!
☐ Clean the hood with a hot soap solution or a mild window cleaner.
☐ Do not scrape off dried-on dirt. Wipe off with a damp cloth instead.
☐ When cleaning the grease filters, remove grease deposits from accessible parts of the housing. This prevents the risk of fire and ensures that the hood continues operating at maximum efficiency.
☐ Note: Do not use alcohol (spirits), as dull marks may appear.
Caution: Follow all instructions and precautions provided with cleaners.
IMPORTANT: Clean the operating buttons with a mild soapy solution and a soft, damp cloth only. Do not use stainless steel cleaners to clean the operating buttons.
Stainless steel surfaces:
☐ Use a mild non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
☐ Clean the surface in the same direction as the grain.
☐ We recommend stainless steel cleaners, such as Fantastik ^® or Formula 409 ^® sprayed onto a paper towel.
Aluminum and plastic surfaces:
☐ Do not use dry cloths.
☐ Use a mild window cleaning agent.
☐ Do not use aggressive, acidic or abrasive cleaners.
Observe the warranty regulations in the enclosed service booklet.
