1 Safety precautions
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.
1.1 Before using for the first time
• The appliance must be installed and connected up to the electricity supply
according to the separate installation instructions. The necessary work
should be carried out by a qualified fitter or electrician.
• Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.
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.
1 Safety precautions
5
1.2 Correct 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.
1.3 Children 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 Safety precautions
6
1.4 Note 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
7
• 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.

2 Appliance 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.
2.1 Extraction model
A fan extracts cooking fumes and smells from above the cooking surface. The
metal grease filters clean 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.
2.2 Recirculation model
After being filtered through the metal grease filter, the cooking fumes and
smells above the cooking area are passed through an activated charcoal
filter. The filtered air is then circulated back into the room through the top
openings.
When the appliance is in use, ensure there is a sufficient supply of
fresh air to replace the air that is being extracted.
If activated charcoal filters are not supplied with the appliance, these
should be ordered and installed before using the appliance.
2 Appliance description

2.3 Features
• 1 extraction fan
• Illumination
• 1 metal grease filter
• 1 Longlife activated charcoal filter (not included in scope of delivery)
The extraction fan has 4 power levels.
• 1 = low, 2 = medium, 3 = high extraction rates and intensive level.
• Power levels 1–3 are suitable for continuous operation.
• The intensive level is used for short bursts of intensive extraction of
cooking fumes and smells, e.g. when searing meat. The intensive level runs
for a maximum of 5 minutes at a time.

become clogged with food particles.
If it is not possible to wash the filter in a dishwasher, soak the filter in 60 °C
water and detergent for one hour. Then rinse well.
To reactivate the activated charcoal, dry the filter without the frame in the
oven.
➤ Select top and bottom heat or hot air and set the temperature to 100 °C.
Place the filter on a wire shelf and allow to dry for 60 minutes.
The long-life activated charcoal filter needs to be replaced after about
3 years as its ability to absorb odours declines. The spent long-life
activated charcoal filter can be disposed of in the household waste.
