1Safety precautions

The appliance corresponds to recognised technology standards and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the appliance is however essential to avoid damage and accidents. Please therefore follow the precautions given in these operating instructions.

In accordance with the requirements of IEC 60335-1:

•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless supervised or unless they have been given instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

1.1Before using for the first time

•The appliance must be installed and connected up to the electricity supply in accordance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary work should be done by a qualified fitter or electrician.

•Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.

•Ensure the grease filters are properly installed.

1 Safety precautions

1.2Correct use

•The appliance is designed for use in the home for extracting cooking fumes and smells from above the cooking surface.

•Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially any electrically live parts, should only be carried out by the manufacturer, its Customer Services or similarly qualified persons. Repairs if carried out incorrectly may cause serious injury, 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 REPAIR SERVICE section. Please contact our Customer Services if necessary.

•Use original spare parts only.

•Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass the appliance on to a third party, please ensure these operating instructions, together with the installation instructions, accompany the appliance. In this way, the new owner can inform themselves about how to use the appliance correctly and read the pertinent safety precautions.

1.3Children in the home

•Packaging material e.g. plastic and polystyrene can be dangerous for children. Danger of suffocation! Please keep packaging material away from children.

•The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these operating instructions. Children are often unable to recognise 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.

1.4Note on use

•If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer Services.

•If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the electricity supply immediately.

•If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by Customer Services in order to avoid hazard.

•Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.

•Do not flambé food underneath the hood as the grease filters if laden with grease could catch fire.

•If frying on the cooking surface, do not leave the frying 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.

•Clean the filters regularly. Failure to do so can increase the fire hazard due to the build-up of grease in the grease filter.

•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 extraction 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.

1 Safety precautions

•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 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) 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.

•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.

2Appliance description

The appliance is designed to extract cooking fumes and smells from the cooking area.

This particular model can be used to extract or recirculate air.

2.1Extraction model

A fan extracts cooking fumes and smells from above the cooking surface. The metal grease filter cleans the extracted air, which is passed through a connecting pipe fitted with an integrated non-return valve and through the air duct to the outside.

When the appliance is in use, ensure there is a sufficient supply of fresh air to replace the air that is being extracted.

2.2Recirculation model

The cooking fumes and smells are filtered over the metal grease filter through an activated charcoal filter and the filtered air is then circulated back into the room through the side openings.

If activated charcoal filters are not supplied with the appliance, these should be ordered and installed before using the appliance.

Moisture is not taken out of the air.

2 Appliance description

2.3Fitted with

•1 extraction fan

•Illumination

•1 metal grease filter

•1 long-life activated charcoal filter

The extraction fan has 4 power levels.

• = Low, = Medium, = High and = Intensive level.

•Power levels 1–3 can be used for longer periods of operation.

•The intensive level is for shorter bursts of intensive extraction of the cooking fumes and smells, e. g. when searing meat. The intensive level runs for 5 minutes at a time.
