Functional description

The ventilation system offers two installation options:

with the internal DAG 500 exhaust blower (not included)

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

with the DAG 1000 external blower (not included)

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

The external blower is designed to be installed in a different location than the ventilation system.

The external blower is connected to the ventilation system by a control cable, and exhaust ductwork and is operated via the ventilation system's control panel.

Cleaning and Care

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

Cleaning the casing

Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic (oven) cleaners on the ventilation system. 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.

^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.

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

Avoid:

cleaning agents containing lye, acids

–

or chlorides,

abrasive cleaning agents,

–

e.g. powder or cream cleansers,

abrasive sponges, i.e. 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 should be followed in addition to the general "Cleaning the casing" instructions.

Stainless steel

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.
