The ventilation system can be operated:

Description of functions

Air extraction

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.

The hood comes equipped with a
non-return flap. This flap automatically
closes when the hood is turned off so
that no exchange of outside air and
room air can occur. When the hood is
turned on, the air pressure of the
exhaust fan automatically opens the
flap blowing the inside air and cooking
odors outside.

Recirculation mode

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filter as well as an odor-free
filter (optional accessories). The
filtered air is then recirculated back into
the kitchen.

In air recirculation mode, please
ensure that the odor-free filter is in
place, see "Cleaning and care".

"1" – Light on

Fan control

This switch k allows you to turn the

^

fan on and off and to select the fan
power level.

"0" – Fan off

^

Levels "1" to "3" are usually sufficient

^

for normal cooking.

^ The "IS" level should be used

temporarily for a short period of time
when frying or cooking food with a
strong aroma.

After cooking

In both air extraction mode and
recirculation mode we recommend that
you run the fan for several minutes after
you have finished cooking.
This helps clear the kitchen air of any
remaining vapors and odors.

Cleaning and care

,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Before cleaning or servicing the
hood, disconnect it from the power
supply, see "Important Safety
Instructions".

The halogen bulbs are very hot

,

when in use. They stay hot for some
time after turned off. Use caution,
danger of burns.
Wet cleaning the hot bulbs will
cause damage.
Wait a few minutes after turning
them off before cleaning.

Cleaning the casing

Never use abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They
will damage the surface.

^

All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned with a mild solution of
warm water and liquid dish soap
applied with a soft sponge.

Avoid:

cleaning agents containing soda,

–

acids or chlorides,

abrasive cleaning agents

–

e.g. powder or cream cleansers,

abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers

–

or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.

These will damage the surface.

The following instructions for

–

cleaning "Stainless steel" surfaces
and "Stainless steel colored controls"
should be followed in addition to the
general "Cleaning the casing"
instructions.s.

Stainless steel surfaces

(does not apply to stainless steel
colored controls)

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.

To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner
for stainless steel can be applied.

^

Wipe dry using a soft cloth.

Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate the electronics and cause
damage.

10

Cleaning and care

Special instructions for appliances
with a colored (RAL) housing.

It is very difficult to clean this type of
surface without causing minor marks on
the surface material.
This can become particularly
noticeable if there is halogen light in the
kitchen.

Stainless steel colored controls

These controls may become discolored
or damaged if not cleaned regularly.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner on
these controls.

Observe the general cleaning
information in this chapter.

Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
on the controls.

Grease filters

The reusable metal grease filters in the
hood remove solid particles from the
vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc.)
and prevent soiling of the ventilation
system.

We recommend cleaning the grease
filters every 3-4 weeks, before the
residues solidify.

A dirty filter is a fire hazard!

,

^ Open the grease filter locking clips

and pull the filter down to remove.

To prevent damage to the filter and
the cooktop, hold the filter securely
when handling it.
