WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at
high settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Heat oils slowly on low or medium
settings.
b) Always turn hood ON prior to cooking on
high or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn
Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on
fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use
cookware appropriate for the size of the
surface element.
Caution: Grease left on filters can remelt
and move into the vent.
When children become old enough to
use the appliance, it is the legal
responsibility of the parents or legal
guardians to ensure that they are
instructed in safe practices by qualified
persons.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF
A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting
lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn
off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO
PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN.
You may be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet
dish cloths or towels. A violent steam
explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You know you have a Class ABC
extinguisher, and you already know
how to operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the
area where it started.
3) The fire department is being called.
4) You can fight the fire with your back
to an exit.
WARNING: Whenever possible, do not
operate blower during a cooktop fire.
However, DO NOT REACH THROUGH
FIRE TO TURN OFF BLOWER.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read All Instructions Before Using the Appliance.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 hood complies with all relevant
safety regulations.
Repairs should be carried out by
qualified technicians only.
CAUTION
Improper repairs may put the user at
considerable risk.
❑ Before using your appliance for the first
time, 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 retain the operating and
installation instructions for a subsequent
owner.
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.
D
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 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
cooktops and ovens.
TRANSPORTATION PROTECTION
DEVICE:
❑ The transportation protection device
prevents the canopy from moving.
❑ Check that the installer has removed the
transportation protection device (see
installation manual).
❑ Please retain the transportation
protection device for possible future
need.
Gas Cooktops / Gas Ranges:
CAUTION
Avoid risk of burns or damage to the hood.
Do not use all gas burners simultaneously
at high settings for a prolonged period
(max.15 minutes).
If the 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 method of
removing vapors produced during cooking
is to:
❑ Switch the ventilator ON prior to
cooking or as soon as you begin
cooking.
❑ Switch the ventilator OFF
a few minutes after you have finished
cooking.
❑ Set the glass plate in cooking
position.

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 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 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, an acoustic signal is sounded for
6 seconds after the fan has switched off,
and an
~ appears in the display. The grease
filters should be cleaned right away.
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 grease filter forward carefully.
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.
4. Cancel the ~ in the display: Press the
button ON/OFF.

CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING To avoid risk of fire and explosion do not use flammable liquids or
solvents.
Always unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean the hood with
abrasive sponges or with cleaning agents
which contain sand, soda, acid or chlorine!
❑ Clean the hood with a hot soap solution
or a mild window cleaner.
❑ Do not scrape off dried-on dirt but wipe
off with a damp cloth.
❑ When cleaning the grease filters, remove
grease deposits from accessible parts of
the housing.
This prevents the risk of fire and ensures
that the hood continues operating at
maximum efficiency.
❑ Note: Do not use alcohol (spirit) on
plastic surfaces, as dull marks may
appear.
Caution: Observe all instructions and
cautions provided with cleaners.
IMPORTANT: Clean the operating buttons
with a mild soapy solution and a soft, damp
cloth only.
Do not use stainless-steel cleaner to clean
the operating buttons.
Stainless steel surfaces:
❑ Use a mild non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
❑ Clean the surface in the same direction
as it has been ground and polished.
❑ We recommend the stainless steel
cleaner Fantastik
®
or Formula 409
®
sprayed onto a paper towel.
Aluminum and plastic surfaces:
❑ Do not use dry cloths.
❑ Use a mild window cleaning agent.
❑ Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic
cleaners.
Observe the warranty regulations in the
enclosed service booklet.

REPLACING THE BULBS
CAUTION. Avoid risk of electric shock.
1. Switch off the hood and pull out the
mains plug or switch off the
electricity supply at the fuse box.
CAUTION. Avoid risk of burns.
Halogen bulbs become very hot and remain
hot for some time after being switched off.
2. Remove the bulb ring with a screwdriver
or similar tool.
3. Replace the halogen light bulb
(conventional halogen bulb, 12 Volt,
max. 20 Watt, G4 bulbholder).
IMPORTANT: Plug-in bulbholder.
Take hold of the bulb with a clean cloth.
Finger prints can shorten bulb life.
4. Re-insert the bulb ring.
5. Restore the power by inserting the mains
plug or switching on the fuse.
Note: If the light does not function, check
that the bulbs have been inserted correctly.
