SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Read all instructions carefully before use and keep this user manual in a safe place for future reference.
• The installation work may only be carried out by an electrician or a qualified person. Before using the cooker hood, make sure that the voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) indicated on the cooker hood correspond to the voltage and frequency of the power supply in your household.
• We accept no liability for damage caused by improper use or installation.
  • Children under 8 years of age must not use the cooker hood.
• The appliance is intended for use in the home and similar environments only. It is not intended for commercial use.
• Clean the appliance and the filter regularly to keep the appliance working efficiently.
  • Always disconnect the power plug from the socket before cleaning.
• Clean the appliance exactly as indicated in the operating instructions.
• Do not use an open fire under the extractor hood.
• If the unit is not functioning normally, contact the manufacturer or a specialist company.
• Children from the age of 8 years and mentally, sensory and physically impaired persons may only use the device if they have been informed in detail about the functions and safety precautions by a supervisor responsible for them beforehand and understand the associated risks.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorised specialist company or a similarly qualified person.
• If the cooker hood is used with cookers that burn gas or other fuels, there must be adequate ventilation in the room.
• Do not flambé under the extractor hood.
• Caution: The surface of the unit may become hot during operation.

Important instructions for installation

• The air must not be discharged into a flue used for extracting flue gases from gas or other fuels (does not apply to appliances that only return the air to the room).
• Observe all regional regulations for the installation of ventilation systems.

Important notes on exhaust air operation

WARNING

Danger of poisoning from recirculated exhaust gases! Do not operate the appliance in extract air mode if it is operated together with a room air-dependent fi replace and sufficient air circulation is not guaranteed.

Room air-dependent fi replaces such as gas, oil, wood or coal heaters, boilers or instantaneous water heaters draw the air from the room and lead it outdoors through an exhaust pipe or chimney. In extract air mode, air is extracted from the kitchen and neighbouring rooms. Without sufficient supply air, negative pressure is created. Toxic gases from the chimney or exhaust pipe can be sucked back into the living rooms.

• Make sure that sufficient fresh air supply is guaranteed and that the air can circulate.
• A supply air/exhaust air wall box is not sufficient to ensure compliance with the limit value.

Safe operation is only possible if the negative pressure at the location of the fi replace does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved if the air required for combustion can flow in through non-closable openings in doors and windows in conjunction with a supply air / exhaust air wall box. In any case, have a master chimney sweep advise you and assess the entire ventilation system of the house. If necessary, they can tell you the necessary measure for ventilation.

If the cooker hood is used exclusively in recirculation mode, operation is possible without restriction.

Important note on dismantling the unit

• Disassembly is the same as installation/assembly in reverse order.
• Have a second person help you during disassembly to avoid injury.

INSTALLATION

Preparation

If you have an extractor to the outside, you can install the extractor hood as shown in the picture on the right. The flue should have a diameter of at least 150 mm and be made of enamel, aluminium or a flexible, heat-resistant tube.

• Switch off the device before installation and pull the power plug out.
• The extractor hood should be placed at a height of 65-75 cm above the hob.

Installation with exhaust air

Note: Observe the safety instructions for operating the unit when the air is discharged to the outside. If the cooker hood is in operation at the same time as an appliance that draws its energy from a source other than electricity, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar).

Installation with convection function

If you do not have an outside vent, install an activated carbon filter before using the unit.

Important notes for the installation of exhaust air pipes

The following rules must be strictly observed to guarantee optimum air extraction: Failure to follow these instructions will reduce the performance and increase the noise level of the cooker hood.

• Lay the exhaust pipe as short and straight as possible.
• Do not use a smaller exhaust pipe and do not constrict it.
• When using flexible pipes, the pipe must always be installed tightly in order to minimise pressure loss.
• All installation work must only be carried out by a qualified electrician or a qualified person.

• Do not connect the hood's exhaust pipe to an existing ventilation system that is being used for another device, such as a fireplace.

• The angle of the bend of the exhaust air pipe should not be less than 120°. Align the pipe horizontally. Alternatively, the pipe should go up from the starting point and be led to an outer wall.
  • After installation, make sure that the cooker hood is horizontal in order to prevent grease from collecting on one side.

• Make sure that the exhaust duct selected for installation complies with the relevant standards and is fire resistant.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Switch off the extractor hood and pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning and maintenance. The outer surfaces are susceptible to scratches and stains. Therefore, do not use scouring agents for cleaning and wipe away residues of alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar) immediately after cleaning.

Stainless steel surfaces

The stainless steel must be cleaned regularly to ensure a long service life. Use stainless steel cleaner for this purpose. Always wipe along the grain of the stainless steel to prevent criss-crossing scratch marks.

Control panel interface

The control panel can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild dishwashing detergent. Before cleaning, make sure the cloth is clean and well wrung out. Use a dry, soft cloth to remove excess moisture after cleaning.

Monthly cleaning of the grease filters

Clean the filter every month to avoid a fire hazard. The filter collects grease, smoke and dust and thus influences the efficiency of the cooker hood. If the filter is not cleaned, grease residues will collect there. Clean the filter with water and a little washing-up liquid and let it air dry afterwards.

REPLACING THE LIGHTING

Please note:

• The lighting may only be replaced by a qualified electrician.
• Before opening the device, unplug all power connections.
  • Always allow the lighting to cool down before replacing it.
  • Always use gloves or a cloth to avoid direct contact with your hands.
• Direct contact can shorten the life of the lighting.

NOTES ON ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

• Make sure there is sufficient air supply during cooking so that the cooker hood can work efficiently and with low operating noise.
• Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced while cooking. Use the intensive mode only when necessary. The lower the fan speed, the less energy is consumed.
• If large amounts of steam are produced when cooking, select a higher fan speed in time. If the cooking steam has already spread throughout the kitchen, the cooker hood must be operated for longer.
• Switch off the cooker hood when it is no longer needed.
• Switch off the lighting when it is no longer needed.
• Clean the filter at regular intervals and replace it if necessary to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation system and prevent fire hazards.
• Always put the lid on when cooking to reduce cooking steam and condensation.

DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL OF THE HOOD

• Make sure that the exhaust hood is completely switched off.
• Pull the plug out of the socket.
• Remove the hood from the wall or cabinet.
• Remove the filter. Dispose of the filters at a collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
• Remove the motor. Dispose of the motor at a collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
