Operating Instructions

Operating modes

Exhaust-air mode:

❑

The ventilator fan draws the vapours
produced during cooking into the
extractor hood, where they pass through
the grease filter and out into the open air.

❑

The grease filter absorbs the grease
contained in the vapours produced
during cooking.

❑

The kitchen is kept almost totally free
from 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).

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.

Recirculating-air mode:

❑

To operate in this mode, it is necessary to
install an activated carbon filter (see Filters
and maintenance). The activated carbon
filter is an optional accessory that can be
obtained

from specialist retailers.

❑

The ventilator fan draws the vapours
produced during cooking into the
extractor hood, where they pass through
the grease filter and the activated carbon
filter before the clean air is discharged
back into the kitchen.

❑

The grease filter absorbs the grease
contained in the vapours produced
during cooking.

❑

The activated carbon filter absorbs any
odorous substances.

Operating procedure

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.

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.

Switching ON:

❑

Slide the right slide switch to the desired
fan setting.

Switching OFF:

❑

Slide the right slide switch back to

Lighting:

❑

The light can be switched on at any
time, even though the fan is switched off.

Filters and maintenance

Removing and inserting the metal grease
filters:

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

Insert the grease filters (see removal and
installation of the metal-mesh grease
filters).

Removing the filter:

The filters are removed in reverse
sequence.

Replacing the activated carbon filters:

❑

During normal operation (1 to 2 hours
per day) the activated carbon filters
should be replaced approximately 1 x
year.

❑

The activated carbon filters are available
from specialist outlets (see Optional
accessories).

❑

Use only original filters.

The appliance is then guaranteed to
function perfectly.

Disposal of old activated carbon filters:

❑

Activated carbon filters do NOT contain
any harmful substances. They can
therefore be disposed of as household
refuse.

Clean the filters.

Insert the clean filters back into the
hood.

Activated carbon filter:

For neutralizing odours in recirculating
mode.
Inserting the filter:
1.

Remove the metal filters (see "Removing
and inserting the metal grease filters").

Insert an activated carbon filter on the
right and left of the fan motor and rotate
the filters until they lock into position.

Replacing the light bulbs

Switch off the extractor hood and pull
out the mains plug or switch off the
electricity supply at the fuse box.

Remove the grease filters (see Filters and
Maintenance).

Press down the bulb cover and
disconnect from the light strip.

Replace the light bulb (commercially
available candle bulbs, max. 40 watt,
E14 base).

Attach the lamp cover again.

Re-insert the grease filters.

Plug the appliance into the mains or
switch it on at the fuse box.

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 ade-

quately ventilated. Avoid naked flames!

Clean the sliding switch with a soft,

damp cloth (mild detergent solution) only.
Do not use stainless steel polish on the
sliding switch.

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.

Important information

Installation Instructions:

The installation of the extractor hood

above gas cooking devices,

at a

minimum height of

650 mm

– Fig. 1 – is

permitted provided that the following
nominal heat loads (Hs) are not exceeded:

❑

Gas cookers

Load of one hotplate

max.

3.0 kW

Load of all hotplates max.

8.3 kW

Load of the oven max.

3.9 kW

❑

Gas hobs

Load of one hotplate

max.

3.9 kW

Load of all hotplates max. 11.3 kW

❑

Gas glass-ceramic hotplate

The data on nominal heat loads do not
apply to gas glass-ceramic hotplates.
Be sure to observe the instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the
hotplate.

❑

Solid-fuel cookers

The maximum nominal heat loads and
the minimum distance are the same as
for gas cookers.

Installation of the extractor hood over a

solid-fuel burner which could constitute a
potential fire hazard (e.g. due to flying
sparks) is only permitted if the burner is
equipped with an

enclosed, non-

removable cover

and all country-specific

regulations are observed. This restriction
does not apply to gas cookers and gas
hobs.

The smaller the gap between extractor

hood and hob, the greater the likelihood
that rising steam will cause condensation
to form on the hood.

Old appliances are not worthless

rubbish. If they are disposed of in an
environment-friendly manner, valuable raw
materials can be recovered for use again.
Before you dispose of an old appliance,
make sure that it has been rendered
inoperative.

Your new appliance was protected on

its way to you by the packaging. None of
the materials cause pollution to the envi-
ronment and all can be recycled for use
again. Please help to protect the
environment and dispose of the packaging
in an environment-friendly manner.

You can obtain information about the best
method disposing of old appliances and
packaging from your dealer or local
municipal council.

The extractor hood can be used in

either exhaust-air or recirculating 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.

Additional notes concerning gas
cookers:

When installing gas hotplates, comply

with the relevant national statutory
regulations (e.g. in Germany: Technische
Regeln Gasinstallation TRGI).

The relevant regulations and installation

notes provided by the manufacturer of the
gas cooker must be observed in all cases.

The extractor hood may be installed

next to only one full-height cupboard or
high wall. Gap to be at least 50 mm.

Prior to installation

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).

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.

Unrestricted operation is possible if the
extractor hood is used in recirculating
mode – with activated carbon filter.

Prior to installation

❑

Flat ducts

must have an internal cross-

section that equates to that of round
pipes.

There should be no sharp bends.

100 mm approx.

78 cm

125 mm approx. 113 cm

❑

If pipes have different diameters:

Insert sealing strip.

❑

For exhaust-air mode,

ensure that

there is an adequate supply of fresh air.

Connecting a

125 mm exhaust-air

pipe:

❑

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

Connecting a

100 mm exhaust-air

pipe:

❑

Attach the reducing connector
(enclosed or available from specialist
retailer) to the air pipe and then attach
to the exhaust-air duct.

For operating in exhaust-air mode,

one-way flap should be mounted inside the
extractor hood unless there is already one
fitted in the outlet duct or wall ventilation
box.
If no one-way flap was enclosed with the
hood, it can be obtained from a specialist
retailer.

Installing the one-way flap:

❑

Snap the one-way flap into the air pipe.

The two lightly sprung flaps must be

able to move upwards.

If the exhaust air is going to be
discharged into the open,

a telescopic

wall box should be fitted into the outside
wall.

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:

125 mm

(at least

100 mm).

Prior to installation

Recirculating mode

(If there is no possibility of operating in
exhaust-air mode)

❑

The air drawn in by the extractor hood is
cleaned by an additional activated
carbon filter and then blown back into
the kitchen.
