Transport, unpacking, installation
Condensation may occur if the appliance
is brought into the installation site from a
cold environment. Please wait until the
appliance has adjusted to the temperature
and is completely dry before operating it.
The acclimatization period depends on the
temperature difference and the type and
design of the appliance. However, it should
be at least 12 hours.
Connecting the power supply
Check that the rated voltage indicated on
the appliance matches the mains voltage
in your area. Connection to the incorrect
voltage will damage or destroy the
appliance.
Before switching on the appliance, check
that all cables and lines are properly fitted
and undamaged. Make sure in particular
that there are no kinks in the cables, that
they are not pulled too tightly around corners
and that no objects are resting on them.
Also make sure that all plug connections
are securely inserted. Faulty shielding or
wiring poses a health hazard (electric
shock) and can destroy other appliances.
Appliances with mains plugs are fitted with
a safety-tested mains cable for the
respective country of use and may only be
connected to a correctly earthed safety so-
cket. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric
shock. Make sure that the socket on the
appliance or the domestic safety socket is
easily accessible so that the mains cable
can be unplugged from the socket in an
emergency or during servicing and
maintenance work.
Danger of electric shock!
Do not clean the hood with a steam clea-
ner or water pressure cleaner. The hood
must be disconnected from the power
supply prior to cleaning.
General functionality
The extractor hood has been developed
especially for the extraction of cooking
vapours for use in the private home.The
arised cooking vapours are catched by the
extractor hood and absorbed by the metal
grease filter (version D is add. equipped
with an active carbon filter).
The filters are held in the hood body by
magnets. By some models the filter is
covered by a pane. The accruing extraction
at the edge of the pane (“Perimeter
Extraction”) allows a very effective fume
absorption.The access to the filters is
guaranteed by models using the “Perime-
ter Extraction” method through the swinging
of the pane. The exhaust power is controlled
over the switch panel. Among the lighting
additional options are also controlled over
the switch panel by some extractor
hoods.The illumination of the cooking zone
is taken over by several halogen spotlights.
The extractor hood is produced of stainless
steel or aluminium.
