Safety instructions
For connections and functions
Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by an authorised
technician in accordance with the applicable safety regulations. Work
which has been performed improperly can endanger your safety.
Extraction appliances must not be connected to smoke or fume chimneys or
to shafts used for ventilating rooms where stoves have been installed.
Before extracting fumes into a smoke or fume chimney which is not in
use, please obtain approval from your local chimney sweep.
When extracting fumes, please observe the official regulations.
The minimum distance between the cooker hood and the cooker is
650 mm.
It must also be possible to access the mains plug after the appliance
has been installed. Otherwise, the household fuse must be switched off
before cleaning and maintenance work is carried out.
For operating your appliance
The fat filter must be cleaned and replaced regularly. There is a danger
of fire if the appliance is used with a saturated fat filter!
Only use the hood when the fat filters have been installed.
Never flambé dishes under the cooker hood!
Ignited rings of gas cookers and gas hobs must always be covered by
pots or pans.
Keep an eye on deep-fat fryers while in operation. Fat and oil which
ignites due to overheating can set fire to the cooker hood.
A glass shelf or the fume screen should not bear excessive or one-si-
ded loads. Do not hang anything on the railing! If the glass breaks, there
may be a danger of injury from falling pieces of glass!
Always keep children away from the cooker hood.
For operating the hood with stoves and
heating appliances with a naked flame
This relates, for example, to gas, oil or coal-fired heating appliances, continuous-
flow heaters and hot water tanks: If the cooker hood is operated in extraction
mode, such appliances may no longer have sufficient air required for
combustion and there is a danger
of intoxication or explosion!
Operation is perfectly safe if the cooker hood and the stove are being used
simultaneously in rooms where a negative pressure of 0.04 mbar is not
exceeded. This ensures that the fumes from the stove are not sucked back
into the room.
This can be achieved if there are non-airtight openings in windows and
doors, ventilation wall boxes (supplying/extracting air) or other technical
devices, e. g. interlock devices so that a sufficient supply of combustion
air can flow back into the room.
When assessing the ventilation requirements, the ventilation system of
your entire home must always be taken into account. This means, for
example, the above regulations for operating cooking appliances (e.g.
hobs and gas cookers) are not applied. If in doubt, please consult your
local chimney sweep.
If the cooker hood is only used in recirculation mode - with activated
charcoal filters - there are no restrictions on operation.
Before using your appliance
for the first time
Cleaning the appliance for the first time
Glass surfaces
–
Wipe down with any of the usual glass cleaning agents.
Stainless steel surfaces
–
Clean with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid. Wipe dry afterwards.
The control panel
–
Wipe down with a soft, dry cloth free of fluff.
The control panel
The control panel is located on the
front of the hood chimney. The but-
tons are arranged under each other
on the hood; we have illustrated
them horizontally for reasons of
space.
Setting the hood for extraction mode
Before using the hood in extraction mode for the first time, you must deactivate
the counter for the activated charcoal filter control. The appliance remains
switched off.
–
Press the two buttons highlighted below simultaneously. The counter of
the activated charcoal filter control is thus deactivated.
Setting the hood for recirculation mode
If you want to change the hood over to recirculation mode, you have to re-
activate the working hour counter for the activated charcoal filters. The app-
liance remains switched off.
–
Make sure that the activated charcoal filters have been installed.
–
Press the two buttons highlighted below simultaneously. The working hour co-
unter for the activated charcoal filters is switched on again and set to 0.
