OPERATING MODES

EXHAUST-AIR MODE:

The hood fan extracts the kitchen vapors
and conveys them through the grease
filter into the atmosphere.

The grease filter absorbs the solid
particles in the kitchen vapors.

The kitchen is kept almost free of grease
and odors.

_c._ 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.
/_, CAUTION

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 require-
ment, 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.

CIRCULATING-AIR MODE:

An activated carbon filter must be fitted

for this operating mode (see Filters and
maintenance).

The complete installation set and

replacement filters can be obtained from
specialist outlets.

The extractor-hood fan extracts the

kitchen vapours which are purified in the
grease filter and activated carbon filter
and then conveyed back into the

kitchen.

The activated carbon filter binds the

odorous substances.
If no activated carbon filter is installed, it

is not possible to bind the odorous
substances in the cooking vapours.

Gas Cooktops / Gas Ranges:

/_, CAUTION
Avoid risk of burns or damage to extractor

hood.

Do not use all gas burners simultaneously
at high settings for a prolonged period

(max.15 minutes).

Ifthe hood is located over a gas cooktop,
operate the hood at maximum setting
whenever three or more gas burners are

being used.

OPERATION

IMPORTANT: The most effective way to
remove vapors 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 the fan ON

Pressthe LO MED HIbutton.

Switching the fan OFF:

Pressthe OFFbutton.

Delay shut-off:

Press the DELAY button.

The fan runs for 10 minutes on HI.
At the same time, a dot flashes in the

display.

Then the fan switches off automatically.
The illuminated LED indicates that

DELAY SHUT-OFF is working.

Setting the required fan speed:

Press the LO MED HI button.
The fan speed increases by one level.

Lighting:

Press the LIGHT button to switch the
light on and off.

The light can be switched on at any

time, even if the fan is switched off.

FILTERS AND MAINTENANCE

GREASE FILTERS:
Metal filters are used to trap the greasy

element of the vapors that develop during
cooking.

The filter mats are made from non-

combustible 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 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.

Saturation indicator:

When the grease filters reach saturation

point, the FILTER LED lights up. The grease
filters should be cleaned right away. To

switch off the LED, press the FILTERbutton
for 6 seconds.

Cleaning the metal grease filters:

In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),
the metal grease filter must be cleaned

1x a month.

The filters can be cleaned in a
dishwasher. It is however possible that

they will become slightly discolored.
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.
Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic

cleaners.
Then brush the filters clean, rinse them

thoroughly and leave the water to drain
off.

Removing and inserting the metal
grease filters:

/_, Warning: Avoid risk of burns. The

halogen bulbs must be switched off and
cool.

1. Pull the catch on the grease filters and
lower the grease filters.

At the same time take hold of the

underside of the grease filter with your
other hand.

2. Clean the filter.

3. Insert the clean filter back into the hood.

FILTERS AND MAINTENANCE

Activated carbon filter:

For neutralizing odours in recirculating
mode.

Caution:

As the filter becomes more and more

saturated with grease, there is an increased
risk of fire and the function of the extractor

hood may be impaired.
Important:
Change the activated carbon filter promptly

to prevent the risk of fire from the
accumulation of heat when deep-fat frying

or roasting.

Installation and removal:

Warning: The halogen bulbs must be
switched off and cool.

1. Remove the metal-mesh filters
(see "Removing and inserting the metal-
mesh grease filters").

2. Insert the activated carbon filter.

3. Engage the catch.

4. Insert the metal grease filters (see
"Removing and inserting the metal
grease filters").

Replacing the activated carbon filter:

During normal operation (1to 2 hours
per day) the activated carbon filters
should be replaced approximately 2 x

year.
A replacement filter can be obtained

from any authorized dealer (see optional
accessories).

Use original filters only.
By doing so you will obtain maximum
performance from your extractor hood.

Disposing of the old activated carbon

filter:

There are no pollutants in the activated

carbon filters. They can therefore be
disposed of as part of your normal

domestic refuse.
