SETUP AND OPERATION
Before commissioning the cooker hood
• Make sure that the cooker hood has not been damaged during transport.
• Installation and connection to the mains must be carried out by a qualified
person in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and in compliance
with local regulations.
Use
• The grease filter must always be in place when the cooker hood is put into
operation, otherwise grease vapours can build up in the cooker hood housing.
• Do not use naked flames under the cooker hood.
• High flames can damage the cooker hood or even cause a fire due to grease
deposits in the filter.
• If you are using a gas cooker, make sure that the cooking zones are not
operated without cookware. With an open gas flame, parts of the device can
be damaged by the rising heat.
• Because of the fire hazard, frying or cooking with oils and fats under the
cooker hood may only be done under constant supervision.
Note: Oils or greases that are used repeatedly increase the risk of spontaneous
combustion.
Exhaust air mode
• The extracted air is discharged to the outside via the exhaust air duct.
• For this purpose, your house must have an exhaust air shaft or an exhaust air
duct to the outside.
• When operating the cooker hood in exhaust air mode and simultaneously
operating chimney-dependent firing systems (e.g. coal stove), a sufficient
supply of fresh air must be ensured in the installation room of the cooker
hood.
• In any case, contact your responsible chimney sweep.
• If there is no permanently installed exhaust air pipe or no separate exhaust
air shaft, you must switch the cooker hood to recirculation mode (see section
"Installation").
Recirculation mode
• The air drawn in is filtered through a charcoal filter (also called activated
carbon filter) and circulated in the room.
• The activated charcoal filter binds the odours produced during cooking and
the filtered air is fed back into the kitchen through the side or top ventilation
openings.
