1.3 Intended use

If you use the cooker hood in exhaust mode, make sure that no open fire is burning before switching on the appliance!

Otherwise massive smoke development could occur and toxic combustion gases can be drawn from the chimney or flue shaft into the living rooms. This can be life threatening!

The appliance is intended for domestic use. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage resulting from improper use or maloperation.

Extractor hoods remove unpleasant odours and vapours and create a pleasant room atmosphere.

Particles of grease, steam and also moisture are absorbed by the grease filter.

A correctly dimensioned extractor hood creates a pleasant room climate without producing draughts and ensures a bearable air humidity of 40-60%.

1.4 Hints for use

• Make sure that the room is sufficiently ventilated during operation of the cooker hood.

To do this, follow the corresponding instructions in the following chapter on using the hood, especially for exhaust air mode.

- Constant maintenance guarantees problem-free operation and optimal hood performance.

- Prior to carrying out cleaning or maintenance work, the power supply of the cooker hood is to be cut off by unplugging or tripping out or removing the fuse.

• Regularly clean appliance surfaces from encrusted food.

• Regularly clean or replace the filters.

2. Before using the hood

Ensure that the hood has not been damaged during transport.

Installation and connection of the electrical supply must be carried out by professionals according to the manufacturer's instructions and in compliance with the local requirements.

3. Using the hood

3.1 Operating safety information

- The grease filter must always be in place when bringing the hood in service, otherwise grease vapour can become deposited inside the hood.

- Do not use an open fire under the cooker hood (e.g. when flambéing). High flames can damage the hood or even cause a fire (e.g. by igniting grease deposits in the filter).

- If you are using a gas stove, make sure that the cookers are not operated without cooking utensils. With open gas flames, parts of the appliance may be damaged by the rising heat.

- Due to the fire risk, frying or cooking with oils and fats under the hood has only to take place under durable surveillance.

Attention! The risk of self-ignition increases with oils or fat which have been repeatedly used.

3.2 Exhaust air mode

The extracted air is emitted outdoors via the exhaust pipe.

For this purpose, an exhaust air shaft or an exhaust air pipe leading to the outside must be available in your house.

- If the cooker hood is operated in exhaust air mode together with other room air dependent appliances or fireplaces with a chimney or exhaust air shaft (e.g. chimney fire, gas, oil, wood or coal-fired appliances), the negative pressure in the room must not exceed a value of 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar).

Make sure that the room is adequately ventilated, e.g. by means of non-closable openings in doors, windows, in connection with a supply air / exhaust air wall box or by other technical measures.

Otherwise, negative pressure can occur and smoke and toxic combustion gases can be drawn into the living rooms from chimneys or flues.

In this case, there is a danger to life!

Ask your chimney sweep to advise you on the ventilation system of the house and the appropriate ventilation measures.

- If there is no permanently installed exhaust air pipe or no separate exhaust air shaft, you must convert the extraction hood to recirculation mode (See installation chapter).

3.3 Recirculation mode

The extracted air is filtered through a carbon filter (also known as active carbon filter) and circulated in the room. The carbon filter retains the odours produced through cooking and the filtered air is circulated back into the kitchen through air openings at the side or on the top.

If the hood is used in circulation air mode, it is safe to simultaneously operate a room air-dependent fire.

- It is recommended to switch on the appliance a few minutes before the start of the cooking process.

- For improved hood performance, pull out the steam collector (where fitted).

- Set the power level according to the amount of smoke and odours to be extracted.

- Operate the hood for another ca. 5 to 10 minutes after cooking. This will clear the kitchen air of remaining fumes and odours.

• The inner diameter of the exhaust air hose must be 150mm and conform to that of the connector ring.
• The exhaust air hose must not be led through a shaft together with gas pipes, hot air pipes etc.
• Route the exhaust hose as straight as possible away from the hood. The maximum permissible bend to the outside is 120°.

Note on backflow flaps

To prevent air leakage during exhaust air operation (i.e. backflow of outside air), backflow flaps are pre-mounted on the hood body.

After installing the exhaust air hose, make sure that they can open and close freely.

For recirculation operation or if there is already a backflow device in the exhaust air system of your kitchen, these should be removed.

8.3 Using the extractor hood as an exhaust air hood (with air extracted to outdoors)

If the extractor hood has been fitted at the factory with a carbon filter, this must be removed for exhaust air operation. It is only practicable to use this when operating your hood in circulation mode.

8.4 Converting the extractor hood to a circulation hood

If you wish to use the hood as a circulation hood, you must mount the activated carbon filter(s) to the fan motor before using the hood. If not included in the scope of supply, you must obtain the carbon filter(s) from the supplier of your extractor hood.

8.5 Mounting the carbon filter

• Remove the metal grease filter.
• The carbon filter is mounted in two parts to the right and left of the motor. Check whether the teeth correspond to the direction of the rotation of the respective side.

- Determine the desired position for mounting the hood body support bracket centrally above your hob according to the previously mentioned distance regulations and dimensions.

Note: The hood will later be suspended from the bracket on the rear upper edge. To be sure, you can also fix it beforehand and pre-align it optically.

- Place the hood body support bracket horizontally at the desired position on the wall using a spirit level and mark the position of the screw holes.

- Drill a hole at each of the marked positions according to the diameter of the dowels.

- Then carefully tap a dowel into each of the holes with a hammer and fasten the bracket to them with the screws provided (4 × 30 mm).

- Raise the hood body and attach it to the wall bracket.

- From the inside of the cooker hood, mark the positions of the holes in its back on the wall. (For this step, open the front flap of the hood and remove the metal grease filter).

• Take the hood down, drill holes at the marked points according to the diameter of the dowels and carefully tap one of the other dowels into each of the drill holes with a hammer.

- Then carefully tap a dowel into each of the holes with a hammer and fasten the bracket to them with the screws provided (4 × 30 mm).

10. Informations on air flow

Note: Images are for illustration purposes only and may vary.

Fig. 1: Exhaust air to the outside
Fig. 2: Exhaust air via air shaft/chimney

• The exhaust air line should be as short and straight as possible.
- To avoid excessive noise or a reduced extraction capacity the diameter of the exhaust air pipeline should not be less than 150 mm.
- Use or form only large radius bends. Small radius bends reduce the extraction capacity of the hood.
- Use only smooth pipelines or flexible hoses of non-flammable materials for the exhaust air pipeline
- If the exhaust air pipeline is horizontally routed, there must be a minimum gradient of 1 cm per metre or an inclination angle of 2°. (Fig. 3) Otherwise condensation water could run into the extractor hood motor.
- If the exhaust air is directed into an exhaust air duct, the end of the entry fitting must be directed in the direction of flow.

Fig. 3: inclination angle of the exhaust air pipeline

• If the exhaust air is directed into an exhaust air duct, the end of the entry fitting must be directed in the direction of flow.
• If the exhaust air pipeline is routed though cool rooms, lofts etc. there can be a large temperature drop within the individual parts of the pipeline, resulting in sweating or condensation water production. This renders outlet pipeline insulation necessary.
• In some cases a condensation water barrier must be installed in addition to adequate insulation

The manufacturer is not responsible for any faults occurring through non-compliance with the above information and provisions.
