9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode
simultaneously with a different burner which also
makes use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or
coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water
boilers) care must be taken to ensure that there is an
adequate supply of fresh air which will be needed by
the burner for combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the under
pressure in the room where the burner is installed
does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow
through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors,
windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or
by other technical measures, such as reciprocal
interlocking, etc.
WARNING
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide adequate
air intake so combustion gases are not 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
cooktops and ovens.
Proposition 65Warning:
This product may contain a chemical known to the
State of California, which can cause cancer or
reproductive harm. Therefore, the packaging of your
product may bear the following label as required by
California:
Your new appliance is energy-efficient. Here you can
find tips on how to save even more energy when
using the appliance, and how to dispose of your

in an environmentally friendly manner.
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 light 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.

Operating modes
Operating the appliance
You can use this appliance in the air extraction or the
recirculation mode.
Exhaust air mode
The air that is drawn in is cleaned by
the grease filters and conveyed to the
exterior by a pipe system.
Note: Ventilation may not exit through an already
operational smoke or exhaust chimney, nor a duct
used for ventilating furnace installation areas.
▯If the ventilation is intended to pass through a
smoke or exhaust chimney that is not in
operation, the responsible area heating
inspector must give approval.
▯If the ventilation passes through an external wall,
use a telescope wall sleeve.
