Safety
Read through this chapter carefully before installing,
using or cleaning the device.
¾ Observe all information on dangers during all
activities on the device.
¾ Enclose these instructions if you pass the device
on.
Proper use
The device can be used to extract cooking vapours
during cooking.
The device is exclusively intended for this purpose
and must only be put to this use. The device must
only be used in the manner described in these
instructions.
Any other use or modification of the device is
regarded as improper and may lead to damage.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage
caused as a result of improper use, incorrect
installation or incorrect operation. The device is not
intended for commercial use. Use the device in
private kitchens only.
Ban on independent conversions and
modifications
• Do not undertake any independent conversions or
modifications on the device. Conversions or
modifications without the approval of berbel
Ablufttechnik GmbH are impermissible.
• Never bridge or bypass the protective facilities
available on the device.
Basic safety instructions
This section contains basic safety instructions for
handling the device. Additional safety instructions
which affect certain actions and procedures can be
found in the relevant chapters.
• Heed all of the safety instructions and information
on dangers in these instructions.
• Check the device and all parts for visible damage.
In the event of damage, contact your specialist
dealer or the berbel customer service. The device
must only be used in flawless condition.
• Always have repair and maintenance work carried
out by qualified, specialist personnel. Otherwise,
you endanger yourself and others.
• Install the device with the enclosed brackets
exclusively on load-bearing parts of buildings
(solid construction).
• In the case of other mountings, use
correspondingly suitable mounting techniques. If
in doubt, ask your specialist dealer. Otherwise,
you endanger yourself and others.
• Use the device in private kitchens only.
Avoiding dangers due to electric shock
• Have work on the voltage supply carried out by a
qualified, trained specialist electrician only.
At the very least, the specialist electrician must
have the following knowledge and skills:
− Basics of electrical engineering
− Knowledge of the country-specific regulations
and standards (in Germany e.g.
DIN 57100/VDE 0100, Part 701)
− Knowledge of the relevant safety regulations
− Knowledge of the relevant legal regulations for
gas installations (in Germany e.g. the technical
regulations for gas installations TRGI).

• Only use the device if it is connected and fused
according to the technical data.
• Do not kink or crush the mains cable.
• Do not operate the device with a damaged
electrical connection cable.
• Disconnect the device from the current supply in
the event of malfunctions.
• The mains plug must be freely accessible so that
the device can be easily and quickly disconnected
from the mains power supply in an emergency. If
the mains plug is inaccessible following
installation, an all-pole isolating device with a
contact opening of at least 3 mm must be
provided in the installation.
• If the device is brought into a warm environment
from a cold environment, moisture may form
inside the device. In this case, wait for
approximately two to three hours before starting
up the device.
• Avoid exposing the device to dripping or splashing
water. Never place objects filled with fluids, such
as e.g. vases, on the device.
• Keep the device dry.
• If fluid nevertheless enters the device:
− Immediately shut off the current supply by
removing the fuse.
− Make sure that the device's current supply
cannot be unintentionally reactivated. E.g.
designate a person to prevent the fuse from
being switched on.
− Allow the device to dry.
− Have the device checked and repaired by
trained, specialist personnel before using the
device again.
Avoiding risk of explosion
• Do not operate the device in an explosive
environment.
Avoiding fire hazard
• Make sure that the cooker top has cooled down
before covering it.
A soiled device may cause fire hazards.
• Keep the device in flawless condition and check it
regularly.
• Regularly remove any grease residues which are
present. Grease residues pose a fire hazard.
• Do not flambé beneath the device. Naked flames
may e.g. damage neighbouring cupboards.
• Only have repair work on the device carried out
by personnel trained for this purpose.
In recirculated air mode:
• A covered or sealed ventilation outlet may cause
fire hazards. Do not place any objects such as
e.g. cloths or plates on or in front of the device's
ventilation slits. In the case of recirculated air
devices, outflowing air must be able to escape
back into the kitchen through the ventilation slits
without impediments.
• No objects which may impede the air flow may be
installed above the device. Make sure that the
outflowing air is able to flow into the kitchen
without impediments.
The device may only be installed above a fireplace
for solid fuels (e.g. coal-fired stove) if:
• the fireplace has a sealed cover which cannot be
removed. Otherwise, e.g. there is an increased
fire hazard due to flying sparks.
• the legal and country-specific regulations are
adhered to.
Avoiding risks of injury
• In order to prevent the risk of falling, use a stable
stepladder for all work on the device, such as e.g.
replacing the filter, installing and cleaning the
device.
• In order to prevent risks of injury due to falling
parts, use suitable mounting material.
• In order to prevent cuts due to broken glass, use
suitable protective gloves.
Avoiding the risk of suffocation
If the device and an open fireplace which is
dependent on the room air are operated
Page 6
Safety
6
simultaneously, gases or waste gases may be
drawn into the room.
• Make sure that all of the permits required for
operation in your country are available (e.g. those
of the master chimney sweep).
• Make sure that all standards and guidelines for
operating the device in your country are observed.
• Ensure an adequate fresh air supply in the
dwelling.
• Do not allow children to play with film or other
parts of the packaging.
• Store film or other parts of the packaging in a
location which is inaccessible to children.
Preventing the risk of collapse
• The necessary wall passage must be created by a
specialist company. Wall passages influence the
building's statics. Improperly created wall
passages may lead to the collapse of the building.
Avoiding environmental damage
• Dispose of the device and its accessories
according to the legal regulations.

Description
Air extraction mode
The device intakes room air, filters the room air and
conducts the cleaned room air outside. Cleaning is
carried out in several cleaning stages. The first
cleaning stage removes e.g. grease and air
particles from the intaken room air. The next
cleaning stage filters light, flying particles (e.g. fluff)
from the intaken room air. The cleaned room air is
conducted into the open air.

Recirculated air mode
The device intakes room air, filters the room air and
returns the cleaned room air into the room.
Cleaning is carried out in several cleaning stages.
The first cleaning stage removes e.g. grease and
air particles from the intaken room air. The next
cleaning stage filters light, flying particles (e.g. fluff)
from the intaken room air. The filter filling in the
recirculating air filter neutralises existing odour
contents. The odour-free, cleaned room air is
returned into the room.
berbel extractor hoods are developed according to
the state-of-the-art. They meet the prescribed safety
regulations and are intended for domestic use.
The filter filling must be replaced at regular
intervals.
