Description of appliance
Operating instructions:
Light
Switch/light/
fan
Filter grille
Heat shield
(hinged to increase the
suction area)
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.
D
If the extractor hood is operated in
exhaust-air mode at the same time as a
flue-type heater (e.g. gas, oil or solid-fuel
heater, instantaneous water heater, boiler),
ensure that there is an adequate air
supply which the heater requires for
combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the
partial vacuum in the room in which the
heater is installed does not exceed 4 Pa
(0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if the combustion air
is able to flow through non-lockable
openings, e.g. in doors, windows and in
conjunction with an air supply/air-intake wall
box or by other technical procedures such
as reciprocal interlocking.
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.
Operating modes
Circulating-air mode:
❑ An activated carbon filter must be
fitted for this operating mode (see Filters
and maintenance). The activated carbon
filter can be purchased as an optional
accessory FROM YOUR DEALER.
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.
ṇ If no activated carbon filter is installed,
it is not possible to bind the odorous
substances in the cooking vapours.
ṇ If the extractor hood is switched from
exhaust-air mode to circulating-air mode,
the exhaust-air opening must be sealed to
prevent a hazardous situation (see optional
accessories in the Instructions for use).

the extractor hood is in use.
ṇ Defective bulbs should be replaced im-
mediately to prevent the remaining bulbs
from overloading.
ṇ Never operate the extractor hood
without a grease filter.
ṇ Overheated fat or oil can easily catch
fire.
If you are cooking with fat or oil, e.g. chips,
etc., never leave the cooker unattended.
ṇDo not flambé food directly under the
extractor hood.
Risk of grease filter catching fire due
! to flames.
ṇ The hotplates must always be covered
with a utensil.
ṇ Restrictions apply to the use of the ex-

wood, etc.). (See Installation
instructions).
Gas hobs / Gas cookers
ṇ Do not use all the gas hotplates
simultaneously for a prolonged period
(max. 15 minutes) at maximum thermal
load, otherwise there is a risk of burns if the
housing surfaces are touched or a risk of
damage to the extractor hood. If the
extractor hood is situated over a gas hob,
operate the hood at maximum setting if
three or more gas hotplates are operated
simultaneously.
