Operating Instructions
Operating modes
Operating modes
Exhaust-air mode:
❑ The ventilator fan draws the vapours
produced during cooking into the
extractor hood, where they pass through
the grease filter and out into the open air.
❑ The grease filter absorbs the grease
contained in the vapours produced
during cooking.
❑ The kitchen is kept almost totally free
from grease and odours.
D
When the extractor 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
underpressure 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 airintake/exhaust-air wall box or by other
technical measures, such as reciprocal
interlocking, etc.
If the air intake is inadequate, there is a
risk of poisoning from combustion gases
which are 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 hobs and ovens.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the
extractor hood is used in recirculating mode
– with activated carbon filter.
Recirculating-air mode:
❑ To operate in this mode, it is necessary to
install an activated carbon filter (see Filters
and maintenance). The activated carbon
filter is an optional accessory that can be
obtained from specialist retailers.
❑ The ventilator fan draws the vapours
produced during cooking into the
extractor hood, where they pass through
the grease filter and the activated carbon
filter before the clean air is discharged
back into the kitchen.
❑ The grease filter absorbs the grease
contained in the vapours produced
during cooking.
❑ The activated carbon filter absorbs any
odorous substances.

Before using for the first time
Important notes:
❑ The Instructions for Use apply to several
versions of this appliance. Accordingly,
you may find descriptions of individual
features that do not apply to your
specific appliance.
❑ This extractor hood complies with all
relevant safety regulations.
Repairs should only be carried out by
qualified specialists.
Improperly executed repairs can give
rise to significant hazards for the user.
❑ Before using your new appliance, please
read these Instructions for Use carefully.
They contain important information
concerning your personal safety as well
as on use and care of the appliance.
❑ Please keep the operating and
installation instructions in a safe place;
this important documentation may also
be of use to a possible subsequent
owner.
Do not use the appliance if it is
damaged in any way
The appliance is not intended for use
by young children or infirmed persons
without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to
ensure they do not play with the appliance.
The appliance should only be
connected up to the mains and taken into
use by a qualified specialist.
Dispose of packaging materials
properly (see Installation instructions).
Light bulbs must always be fitted when
the extractor hood is in use.
Defective bulbs should be replaced
immediately to prevent the remaining bulbs
from overloading.
Never operate the extractor hood
without a grease filter.
Overheated fat or oil can easily catch
fire.
If you are cooking with fat or oil, e.g. chips,
etc., never leave the cooker unattended.
Do not flambé food directly under the
extractor hood.
Risk of grease filter catching fire due
! to flames.
Restrictions apply to the use of the
extractor hood over a solid-fuel burner
(coal, wood, etc.). (See Installation
instructions).
Gas hobs / gas cookers
Always use gas hobs in a proper and
safe manner.
Important:
The flames from the gas hob must always
be covered by pots or pans.
The intense heat generated by the gas
flames could cause damage to the
! extractor hood.
If you encounter a problem
If you have any questions or if a fault
occurs, please call Customer Service.
(See list of Customer Service
representatives).
When you call, please quote the following:
E-Nr. FD
Enter the relevant numbers into the box
above. The E-Nr. (product no.) and FD

Operating procedure
Filters and maintenance
Grease filters:
Metal filters are used to trap the greasy
element of the vapours that develop
during cooking.
The filter mats are made from noncombustible metal.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more
saturated with grease, not only does the
risk of it catching fire increase but the
efficiency of the extractor hood can also be
adversely affected.
Important:
By cleaning the metal grease filters at
appropriate intervals, the possibility of them
catching fire as a result of a build-up of heat
such as occurs when deep-fat frying or
roasting is taking place, is reduced.
Cleaning the metal grease filters:
❑ In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),
the metal grease filter must be cleaned
after 8 to 10 weeks.
❑ The filters can be cleaned in a dish-
washer. It is however possible that they
will become slightly discoloured.
❑ The filter must be placed loosely, and
NOT wedged, in the dishwasher.
Important:
Metal filters that are saturated with
grease should not be washed together
with other dishes etc.
❑ When cleaning the filters by hand, soak
them in hot soapy water first of all.
Then brush the filters clean, rinse them
thoroughly and leave the water to drain off.
The most effective method of removing
vapours produced during cooking is to:
❑ Switch the ventilator ON
as soon as you begin cooking.
❑ Switch the ventilator OFF
a few minutes after you have finished
cooking.
Switching ON:
❑ Slide the right slide switch to the desired
fan setting.
Switching OFF:
❑ Slide the right slide switch back to 0.
Lighting:
❑ The light can be switched on at any
time, even though the fan is switched off.
