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:
q In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),
the metal grease filter must be cleaned
1 x a month.
q The filters can be cleaned in a dish-
washer. It is however possible that they
will become slightly discoloured.
q 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.
q When cleaning the filters by hand, soak
them in hot soapy water first of all.
Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic
cleaners.
Then brush the filters clean, rinse them
thoroughly and leave the water to drain off.
ṇ The most effective method of removing
vapours produced during cooking is to:
q Switch the ventilator ON
as soon as you begin cooking.
q Switch the ventilator OFF
a few minutes after you have finished
cooking.
Switching the fan ON
q Press the + button.
Setting the required fan speed:
q Press the + button.
The fan speed is increased by one step.
q Press the – button.
The fan speed is reduced by one step.
Switching the fan OFF:
q Press the 0 button.
Or:
q Keep pressing the – button until the fan
switches off.
Intensive setting:
Maximum power is obtained at the
intensive setting. It is only required for short
intervals.
q Keep pressing the + button until a ç
appears in the display.
q If the intensive setting is not cancelled by
hand, the fan will automatically switch
back to step } after 10 minutes.
Lighting:
q The light can be switched on at any
time, even though the fan is switched off.

Removing and inserting the metal grease
filters:
Warning: The halogen bulbs must be
switched off and cool.
1. Press the catch on the grease filters
inwards and fold the filters down.
At the same time take hold of the under-
side of the grease filters with your other
hand.
2. Clean the filters.
3. Insert the clean filters back into the
hood.
Activated carbon filter:
For neutralizing odours in recirculating
mode.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more
saturated with grease, there is an increased
risk of fire and the function of the extractor
hood may be impaired.
Important:
Change the activated carbon filter promptly
to prevent the risk of fire from the
accumulation of heat when deep-fat frying
or roasting.
3. Engage the lug at the front.
4. Insert the metal grease filters
(see "Removing and inserting the metal
grease filters").
Replacing the activated carbon filter:
q During normal operation (1 to 2 hours
per day) the activated carbon filters
should be replaced approximately 1 x
year.
q A replacement filter can be obtained
from any authorized dealer (see optional
accessories).
q Use original filters only.
By doing so you will obtain maximum
performance from your extractor hood.
Disposing of the old activated carbon
filter:
q There are no pollutants in the activated
carbon filters. They can therefore be
disposed of as part of your normal
domestic refuse.
Installation and removal:
Warning: The halogen bulbs must be
switched off and cool.
1. Remove the metal filters
(see "Removing and inserting the metal
grease filters").
2. Insert the activated carbon filter.
