‒ Grease deposits in the grease filter may catch fire.
Replace the grease filter at least every two
months.
Never operate the appliance without the grease
filter.
Risk of fire!
‒ Grease deposits in the grease filter may catch fire.
Never work with naked flames close to the
appliance (e.g. flambéing). Do not install the
appliance near a heat-producing appliance for solid
fuel (e.g. wood or coal) unless a closed, nonremovable cover is available. There must be no
flying sparks.
Risk of fire!

hot fat or oil unattended. Never use water to put out
burning oil or fat. Switch off the hotplate.
Extinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket
or something similar.
Risk of fire!

cookware placed on them, they can build up a lot of
heat. A ventilation appliance installed above the
cooker may become damaged or catch fire. Only
operate the gas burners with cookware on them.
Risk of fire!
‒ Operating several gas burners at the same time
gives rise to a great deal of heat. The ventilation
appliance may become damaged or catch fire. The
ventilation appliance must only be combined with
gas burners that do not exceed the maximum total
output of 18 kW. If the total output exceeds 12 kW,
the local regulations regarding room ventilation,
room size and the combination of ventilation
appliances with recirculation or circulated air mode
must be observed.

Surface damage due to incorrect cleaning. Clean
stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the grain
only. Do not use any stainless steel cleaners for
operator controls.
Surface damage due to strong or abrasive cleaning
agents. Never use strong and abrasive cleaning agents.
Environmental protection
Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here
you can find tips on how to save even more energy when
using the appliance, and how to dispose of your
appliance properly.
Saving energy
▯ During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient
supply of air to enable the extractor hood to work
efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
▯ Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam
produced during cooking. Only use intensive mode
when required. The lower the fan speed, the less
energy is consumed.
▯ If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select
a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking
steam has already spread around the kitchen, the
extractor hood will need to be operated for longer.
▯ Switch off the extractor hood if you no longer
require it.
▯ Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
▯ Clean and (if required) replace the filter at regular
intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of
the ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
▯ Put the lid on to reduce cooking steam and
condensation.
Risk of damage from returning condensate. Install the
exhaust duct in such a way that it falls away from the
appliance slightly (1° slope).
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning
used electrical and electronic appliances
(waste electrical and electronic equipment WEEE). The guideline determines the
framework for the return and recycling of used
appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Operating mode
Operating the appliance
You can use this appliance in circulating-air mode.
Circulating-air mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the
grease filters and an activated carbon filter
and conveyed back into the kitchen.
Note: To bind odours in circulating-air mode, you must
install an activated carbon filter. The different options
for operating the appliance in circulating-air mode can
be found in the brochure. Alternatively, ask your dealer.
The required accessories are available from specialist
outlets, from customer service or from the Online Shop.
The accessory numbers can be found at the end of the
instructions for use.
Note: Switch on the extractor hood when you start
cooking and switch it off again several minutes after you
have finished cooking. This is the most effective way of
removing the kitchen fumes.
Controls
Use the remote control to set and adjust the various
different functions of your appliance.
Note: The remote control requires CR2032/3 V
batteries. Refer to the Changing the batteries in the remote
control
section for instructions on how to insert the
batteries.
Note: Point as accurately as you can with the remote
control to the infrared receiver on the extractor hood's
control panel.
Note: Heat and penetrating moisture may damage the
remote control. Never expose the remote control to
intense heat or moisture.
