Operation Instructions
Operating modes
Exhaust-air mode:
The extractor-hood fan extracts the kit-
❑
chen vapours and conveys them
ough the grease filter into the atmos-
thr
phere.
❑ The grease filter absorbs the solid
particles in the kitchen vapours.
❑ The kitchen is kept almost free of grease
and odours.
Circulating-air mode
❑ An activated carbon filter must be fitted
for this operating mode (see Filters and
maintenance).
Activated

(see Optional accessories on the last
page).
❑
The ventilator fan draws the vapours
oduced during cooking into the
pr
extractor hood, wherethey pass
through the grease filter and the activated carbon filter beforethe 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.

in exhaust-air mode simultaneously
with adifferent burner which also
makes use of the same chimney
(such as gas, oil or coal-fired heaters,
continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers) caremust be taken to ensurethat
thereisanadequate supply of fresh
air which will be needed by the burner
for combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the
underpressureinthe room wherethe
burner is installed does not exceed 4Pa
(0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can
flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in
doors, windows and via the airintake/exhaust-air wall box or by other
technical measures, such as reciprocal
interlocking, etc.
If the air intake is inadequate, thereisa
risk of poisoning from combustion gases
which aredrawn 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 entirehousehold 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.

weeks. Printed fleece filters must be
renewed no later than when the colouredprinting has started to fade.
Use only original replacement filters.
In so doing you will ensurethat safety
regulations areupheld and the extractor
hood performs as effectivelyaspossible.
Fleece grease filters do not contain any
pollutants. They can be composted and
disposed of as biodegradable waste.
Note: The light can be switched on at any
time, including when the vapour extractor
tray has been pushed back into the hood.
Metal grease filter
The filter mat is made of non-combustible
metal.
Caution:
As it becomes moreand moresaturated

increasingly inflammable. The efficiency of

affected.
Important:
Clean the metal grease filter at regular

Cleaning the metal filter:
Under normal operating conditions (1 to 2
hours per day), the metal grease filter will

Important:
Metal filters that areheavily saturated with
grease should not be cleaned at the same
time as any crockery,etc.
❑
If the filter mat is going to be cleaned by
hand, soak it first of all in ahot detergent solution for several hours.
Clean the filter with abrush, rinse it off
thoroughly and allow it to drip dry.
❑
Use only original replacement filters.
In so doing you will be ensuring that the
extractor hood performs as effectively
as possible.
