m Important safety information
Read these instructions carefully. Only then will you be able to operate your appliance safely and correctly. Retain the instruction manual and installation instructions for future use or for subsequent owners.
The appliance can only be used safely if it is correctly installed according to the safety instructions. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the appliance works perfectly at its installation location.
This appliance is intended for domestic use and
the household environment only. The appliance
is not intended for use outside. Do not leave the
appliance unattended during operation. The
manufacturer is not liable for damage which is
caused by improper use or incorrect operation.
This appliance is intended for use up to a maximum height of 2000 metres above sea level.
This appliance may be used by children over the
age of 8 years old and by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or by
persons with a lack of experience or knowledge
if they are supervised or are instructed by a
person responsible for their safety how to use
the appliance safely and have understood the
associated hazards.
Children must not play with, on, or around the appliance. Children must not clean the appliance or carry out general maintenance unless they are at least 8 years old and are being supervised.
Keep children below the age of 8 years old at a safe distance from the appliance and power cable.
Dangerous or explosive materials and vapours must not be extracted.
Ensure that no small parts or liquids get into the appliance.
Check the appliance for damage after unpacking it. Do not connect the appliance if it has been damaged in transport.
Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children. Never allow children to play with packaging material.
Danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are drawn back in.
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if the appliance is being operated in exhaust air mode at the same time as room air-dependent heat-producing appliance is being operated.
Room air-dependent heat-producing appliances
(e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-operated heaters,
continuous flow heaters or water heaters) obtain
combustion air from the room in which they are
installed and discharge the exhaust gases into
the open air through an exhaust gas system (e.g.
a chimney).
In combination with an activated vapour
extractor hood, room air is extracted from the
kitchen and neighbouring rooms - a partial
vacuum is produced if not enough fresh air is
supplied. Toxic gases from the chimney or the
extraction shaft are sucked back into the living
space.
▯ Adequate incoming air must therefore
always be ensured.
▯ An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will
not ensure compliance with the limit.
Safe operation is possible only when the partial
vacuum in the place where the heat-producing
appliance is installed does not exceed 4 Pa
(0.04 mbar). This can be achieved when the air
needed for combustion is able to enter through
This appliance is not intended for operation with an external clock timer or a remote control.

openings that cannot be sealed, for example in
doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall
boxes or by other technical means.
In any case, consult your responsible Master Chimney Sweep. He is able to assess the house's entire ventilation setup and will suggest the suitable ventilation measures to you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapour extractor hood is operated exclusively in the circulating-air mode.
Risk of fire!
▯ Grease deposits in the grease filter may
catch fire.
Clean the grease filter at least every 2 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 heatproducing appliance for solid fuel (e.g. wood
or coal) unless a closed, non-removable
cover is available. There must be no flying
sparks.
Risk of fire!
▯ Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never
leave 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!
▯ The grease deposits in the grease filter may
ignite. If the appliance operates beside a
gas-fired appliance, a ventilation moulding
must be attached when cooking. The
ventilation moulding improves the extraction
behaviour for gas-fired appliances. The
ventilation moulding prevents small flames
from going out as a result of a draft.
Risk of burns!
The accessible parts become very hot when in operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children at a safe distance.
Risk of injury!
Components inside the appliance may have sharp edges. Wear protective gloves.
Risk of electric shock!
▯ A defective appliance may cause electric
shock. Never switch on a defective
appliance. Unplug the appliance from the
mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the
fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
Risk of electric shock!
▯ Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs
may only be carried out and damaged power
cables replaced by one of our trained aftersales technicians. If the appliance is
defective, unplug the appliance from the
mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the
fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
Risk of electric shock!
▯ Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or
steam cleaners, which can result in an
electric shock.
Causes of damage
Risk of damage due to ingress of humidity into the
electronic circuitry. Never clean operator controls with a
wet cloth.
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
Operating modes
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
▯ Only switch the ventilation on when necessary. You
do not need to switch the ventilation on when
cooking something for a short time that does not
have a strong smell.
▯ Select a fan setting according to what you are
cooking.
▯ Switch the ventilation off again after cooking.
▯ Cleaning the grease filter regularly will increase the
efficiency of the ventilation.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
This appliance can be used in exhaust-air mode or
circulating-air mode.
Exhaust air mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the
grease filters and conveyed to the exterior
by a pipe system.
Note: The exhaust air must not be conveyed into a
functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue or into a shaft
which is used to ventilate installation rooms which
contain heating appliances.
▯ Before conveying the exhaust air into a non-
functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, obtain the
consent of the heating engineer responsible.
▯ If the exhaust air is conveyed through the outer wall,
a telescopic wall box should be used.
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.
Air recirculation
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by
the grease filters and an activated carbon
filter, and is conveyed back into the
kitchen.
Note: To bind odours in air recirculation mode, you
must install an activated carbon filter. The different
options for operating the appliance in air recirculation
mode can be found in the brochure. Alternatively, ask
your dealer. The required accessories are available from
specialist retailers, from customer service or from the
Online Shop.

Notes
‒ The positioning plate should be used to correctly
position the grease filter when air is evacuated via
an outlet/outlets to the side(s). Place the
positioning plate in the ventilation element such
that the bend in the middle is facing the air outlet.
Place the grease filter onto the positioning plate.
‒ If air is evacuated downwards, place the grease
filter into the ventilation element without the
positioning plate. It does not matter which way
round the grease filter is.
