IMPORTANT SAFET Y INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When properly cared for, your new appliance has been
designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions
carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the
risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
When using kitchen appliances, basic safety
precautions must be followed, including those in the
following pages.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
General notes
This appliance is not intended for operation with an
external clock timer or a remote control.
Make sure that no small parts or liquids penetrate into
the appliance.
Check device for visible damage after unpacking it.
Don't plug in device in the event of transport damage.
Adults and children must never operate the appliance
without supervision if they are either physically or
mentally incapable or if they lack the necessary
knowledge and experience to operate the appliance
correctly and safely. Don't let children play with the
appliance or packaging material.
Fire Safety
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat.
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a
naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood
draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to
deposits on the grease filter!
CAUTION
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug.
Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for
examination and/or repair.
Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with
throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route
cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away
from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
WARNING
Risk of fire
If the VL 040/041 downdraft ventilators are installed
next to a gas appliance, an air baffle (LS 041 000) must
be used. This prevents the flame from being drawn into
the fan. Thus, a filter soaked in grease cannot be ignited
by the gas flame.
4
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: ‒ SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do
not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
‒ NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be
burned.
‒ DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
‒ Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
‒ You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,
and you already know how to operate it.
‒ The fire is small and contained in the area where
it started.
‒ The fire department is being called.
‒ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
unless specifically recommended in this manual. Refer
all servicing to a factory authorized service center.
CAUTION
Grease left on filters can remelt and move into the vent.
Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution
when reaching behind or under appliance.
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 (0.04 mbar).
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.
Fire-powered appliances that rely on ambient air (e.g.
gas, oil, wood or coal-powered heaters, flow heaters,
water heaters) draw on combustion air from the room
where they're installed and direct the exhaust fumes
through an exhaust system (e.g. chimney), out of the
building.
In combination with an activated range hood, ambient
air is drawn from the kitchen and neighboring rooms—
insufficient supply air may cause low pressure.
Poisonous gases from the chimney or exhaust shaft may
be suctioned back into the living space.
▯ That's why sufficient supply air must always be
provided for.
▯ An air supply / exhaust wall duct alone doesn't
ensure adherence to the limit value.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock
through damaged connection cable. Don't bend or
pinch connection cable during installation.
WARNING
Risk of burns, injury
through damaged connection cable. Damaged
connection cable must be replaced by an licensed
specialist (electrician).
WARNING
Risk of injury
From sharp edges during installation. Always wear
protective gloves while installing the appliance.
State of California Proposition 65
WARNING
Mortal danger, risk of poisoning
through back-suctioned combustion gases. Never
operate appliance in exhaust air mode simultaneously
with a fire-powered appliance that relies on ambient air
if sufficient air supply has not been provided for.
Warnings:
WARNING
This product can expose you to chemicals including
vinyl chloride, which is known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. For more information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Operating modes
You can use this appliance in the air extraction or the
recirculation mode.
Air extraction
The air sucked in is cleaned by the
grease filters and is routed outdoors
through a pipe system.
Note: The extracted air must neither be discharged into an operating smoke or waste gas chimney nor into a shaft that serves to ventilate rooms where heatproducing appliances are installed.
▯ The local chimney sweep's consent must be
obtained if the exhaust air is to be routed to a
smoke or waste gas chimney that is not in
operation.
▯ A telescopic wall duct should be used if the exhaust
air is routed through the outside wall.
Recirculation
The aspirated air is cleaned by the grease
filters and an activated charcoal filter and
is returned to the kitchen.
Note: You must install an activated charcoal filter to bind odors in the recirculation mode. Refer to the manual or ask your specialist dealer for details of the various options for operating the appliance in the recirculation mode. You can obtain the necessary accessories from specialist dealers, from our after-sales service or in the online shop.
