the household fuse or pull out the mains plug.
=
Do not use any scouring agents or aggressive cleaners.
Cleaning the hood
Control panel
– Carefully wipe the control panel now and again with a soft cloth which is
free of fluff. Make sure that no water penetrates into the slots between the
control buttons.
Glass surfaces
– Clean the glass surfaces with a damp cloth and a little hand detergent or
one of the usual glass cleaning agents.
Stainless steel parts
– Clean stainless steel parts with a damp cloth and a little hand detergent.
Then wipe dry.
– Use one of the usual stainless steel cleaning agents from time to time.
Remote control
=
The remote control must not be put into water!
– Only clean it with a damp cloth and, if required, with a little hand detergent.
Cleaning the metal fat filters
Important! If you use the hood in recirculation mode, you must also renew
the activated charcoal filter roughly about 120 h of use. You can obtain original filters from your dealer or direct from KÜPPPERSBUSCH.
Filter saturation indicator
=
Saturated fat filters reduce the performance of the hood and may ignite
due to naked flames or great heat.
Both filter inserts must be simultaneously cleaned when the letter “F” is
indicated in the display (after 30 operating hours).
– Switch off the filter saturation indicator by pressing the button 8 when the
ventilation is switched off until the “0” is no longer displayed.
Cleaning the metal filters
– Hold each metal filter by the
handle and push back lightly. To
remove pull down out of the
bracket.
– Clean the metal filters in the
dishwasher or wash by hand
with a mild detergent. Rinse
well and dry before refitting.
– Recirculation mode: Change the
activated charcoal filter,
whenever nessesary.
– To refit the filters, place in the
slot at the rear and push up.
They will then click into place.
Changing the activated charcoal filter (in recirculation mode)
F
The activted charcoal filter is only required in the recirculation mode. It
must not be used in the extraction mode.
Filter saturation indicator
After approx. 120 hours of use, the letter “F” flashes in the display of the
control panel. The activated charcoal filter cannot be cleaned or regenerated.
It must be replaced.
– Switch the saturation indicator off by pressing the button 8 when the
ventilation is switched off until the “0” is no longer displayed.
Changing the activated charcoal filter
– Remove the metal fat filters (see “Cleaning the metal fat filters”) and clean
them.
– Push the activated charcoal filter to
the rear and take it out by moving
it downwards.
– Install the new activated charcoal
filter by inserting the two metal noses into the recesses at the rear side.
– Insert the activated charcoal filter
into the bracket at the front so that it tightly fits.
Replacing a halogen lamp
=
Caution! The halogen lamps become very hot after being in use for some
time. Therefore, the lamps should be changed when they have cooled
down.
=
Only replace the halogen lamps with lamps of the same type.
F
Do not grip the halogen lamps with your bare hands. Finger marks burn
into the lamp glass and reduce the light intensity and service life of the
lamps.
– Remove the lamp cover from the bracket by turning it in a clockwise direc-
tion.
– Remove the halogen bulb from its socket.
– Hold the new bulb with a cloth (e.g. tissue) and
push into the socket.
– Reinstall the cover.
Changing the battery of the remote control
– When the hood no longer reacts to the
buttons on the remote control, you
probably have to change the battery in the
remote control.
– Remove the cover of the remote control.
– Undo the battery connections.
– Remove the battery, insert a new one
(9V E-block) and connect it.
– Close the cover again.
