1.2 General safety precautions
▪ Read the operating instructions before using the appliance for
the first time!
▪ This appliance can be used by children aged 8 and above
and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and/or knowledge, provided
they are supervised or have been instructed on the safe use
of the appliance and have understood the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be undertaken by children without supervision.
▪ If an appliance is not equipped with a mains cable and a plug
or other means for disconnecting from the mains with a contact opening on each pole complying with the conditions of
overvoltage category III for full isolation, an isolating device
must be incorporated into the permanently installed electrical
installation in accordance with the installation regulations.
▪ If the mains cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be re-
placed by the manufacturer or its Customer Services or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
1.3 Before using for the first time

1 Safety precautions
1.4 Correct use
▪ The appliance is designed for use in the home for extracting cooking
odours from above a cooking area.
▪ Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially any
electrically live parts, may only be carried out by the manufacturer, its Customer Services or a similarly qualified person. Repairs if carried out incorrectly could cause serious injury or damage to the appliance and fittings as
well as affect the functioning of the appliance. If the appliance is not working properly or in case of a repair order, follow the instructions given in the
'Service & Support' section. If necessary, please contact our Customer Services.
▪ Use original spare parts only.
▪ Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell the appli-
ance or pass it on to a third party, please ensure these operating instructions accompany the appliance, together with the instructions on installation.
In this way, the new owner can inform themselves about how to use the appliance correctly and read the pertinent safety precautions.
1.5 Children in the home
▪ Packaging material, e.g. plastic film and polystyrene, can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children.
▪ The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these op-
erating instructions. Children are often unable to recognize the danger of
electrical appliances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow children
to play with the appliance – there is a danger that children could hurt themselves.

1 Safety precautions
1.6 Note on use
▪ If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer
Services.
▪ If the appliance is not functioning properly, disconnect it from the power
supply immediately.
▪ If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by Cus-
tomer Services in order to avoid hazard.
▪ Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appli-
ances.
▪ Make sure the room is adequately ventilated when operating the range
hood at the same time as other appliances that burn gas or other fuels.
▪ Do not flambé food underneath the appliance. Metal grease filters if laden
with grease could catch fire.
▪ When frying on the cooking surface, do not leave the appliance unattended.
The cooking oil in the frying appliance could overheat and catch fire. Constantly monitor the temperature of the cooking oil, keeping it below the temperature at which it can catch fire. Change the cooking oil regularly – dirty
oil catches fire more easily than clean oil.
▪ Observe the cleaning intervals. Failure to do so can increase the fire hazard
due to the build-up of grease in the metal grease filters.
▪ Do not operate the individual cooking zones of the cooking surface without
a pan on them or with an empty pan on them so as to avoid damaging the
appliance or the kitchen fittings through a build-up of heat. Avoid open fires
with oil, gas, wood and coal fired cookers.
▪ Ensure there is adequate ventilation when the extractor fan is on so as to
avoid creating a disturbing underpressure in the kitchen and to achieve optimal air extraction.
▪ Avoid a cross-current of air, which could blow the cooking vapours over the
cooking area.
▪ If other appliances – fuelled by gas or other fuels – are being used at the
same time, ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air. This does not
apply to air recirculation appliances.
▪ If other firing systems are being used at the same time (e.g. wood, gas, oil
or coal fired heating appliances), safe operation is only possible providing a
room negative pressure of 4Pa (0.04mbar) is not exceeded at the location
of the appliance. Risk of toxic fumes! An adequate flow of fresh air must be
guaranteed e.g. via non-closable openings in doors or windows and in combination with an air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical means.

1 Safety precautions
▪ When carrying out maintenance work on the appliance, including replacing
the light bulb, cut off the electricity supply to the appliance: remove the
screw fuse from the holder or switch the circuit breaker off, or disconnect
from the mains supply.
▪ When cleaning the appliance make sure no water gets inside the appliance.
Use a moderately damp cloth. Do not spray the inside or outside of the appliance with water. Do not use a steam cleaner. If water gets inside the appliance, it can cause damage.

Packaging
▪ All packaging materials (cardboard, plastic film (PE) and polystyrene (EPS))
are marked and should, if possible, be collected for recycling and disposed
of in an environmentally friendly way.

▪ Disconnect the appliance from the mains. With a fixed appliance, this is to
be carried out by a qualified electrician!
Safety
▪ Disable the appliance to prevent accidents caused by improper use, espe-
cially through children playing.
▪ Pull the plug out of the mains socket or have the appliance disconnected
from the mains by an electrician. Then cut the mains cable off flush with the
appliance.

3 Your appliance
3.1 Appliance description
The appliance is for ventilating a cooking area and is typically built into the
wall unit. This particular model can be used in the extraction mode as well as
in the recirculation mode.
3.2 Extraction model
The integrated fan extracts cooking fumes and smells from above the cooking
surface. The metal grease filters clean the air, which is ducted outside.
When in use, ensure there is a sufficient supply of fresh air. Exhaust
air requires intake air.
The saturation indicator for the activated charcoal filter must be deactivated.
3.3 Recirculation model
Using a LRC1 air recycling cassette
The appliance draws the odours from the cooking area through the grease filter, which retains the grease particles. The air is then blown via a pipeline
through the air recycling cassette. The latter has an activated charcoal filter
which removes odours from the air. The cleaned air is then blown aerodynamically back into the room through the air outlet grille.
3.4 Equipment
▪ 1 extractor fan
▪ Illumination
▪ 1 grease filter
