If no permanently installed exhaust air pipeline or
exhaust air shaft is available, you must operate the
hood in circulation air mode.
(see chapter 11.3)
6.3 In circulation air mode:
The inlet air is filtered through a carbon filter (also
known as active carbon filter) and circulated in the
room. The carbon filter captures the odours
produced through cooking.
The filtered air is circulated back into the kitchen
through air openings at the side or on the top.
If the hood is used in circulation air mode, it is
absolutely safe to simultaneously operate a room
air-dependent fire.
Switch on the appliance a few minutes prior to
commencing cooking.
It is recommended with both exhaust and circulation
air modes to run the fan a further ca. 5 to 10 minutes
after cooking. This will free the kitchen air of any
remaining steam and odours.
1. For improved hood performance, pull out the
steam collector (where fitted).
2. Set the fan speed according to the amount of
smoke and odours to be extracted.
3. Operate the hood for another ca. 5 to 10 minutes
after finishing cooking.
4. Refit the steam collector (where fitted).
After-run function
If your appliance is fitted with an after-run function,
this can be activated by an additional key on the
control panel (chapter 14).
7. Cleaning and care
Prior to any maintenance or cleaning work,
isolate the hood from the electrical supply by:
pulling out the appliance connector plug
or
tripping the house installation circuit breaker
or
fully unscrew the screw type fuse from the house
installation
The extractor hood is
not to be cleaned with a
steam cleaner
.
Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol
to clean appliances with a matt black finish.
These can lead to discolouring.
Non-compliance with the maintenance and
cleaning instructions can result in a fire hazard
due to grease deposits.
The grease filters on your appliance are to be
cleaned or replaced at regular intervals.
Filters saturated with grease can quickly catch fire
and also distribute unpleasant odours.
Grease filters obstructed by dirt particles
seriously impair the appliance function.
When cleaning the area of the control elements,
take great care to prevent water entering the
electronics.
Special information for appliances with
a stainless steel casing
A commercially available non-abrasive stainless
steel cleaning agent should be used for cleaning
stainless steel surfaces.
Treatment with a stainless steel preservative is
recommended to prevent surfaces becoming quickly
re-soiled. Apply the agent all over and economically
using a soft cloth.
Never use stainless steel cleaning agents in
the vicinity of the control elements.
When cleaning metal grease filters take care
not to damage the mesh. Frequent cleaning or the
use of aggressive cleaning agents can cause colour
changes to the metal surface. These do not affect
the filter function and are not
grounds for
complaint
.
7.1 Changing the grease filter
Grease filters must occasionally be changed. The
following rules apply:
Change
paper grease filters
monthly
Change
paper grease filters with alarm
every two
months or when the colour of the surface becomes
visible through the mesh openings. This filter is
coloured on one side; after fitting, this colouring
must not be visible through the mesh openings.
Foam grease filters
must be soaked once a month
in warm soapy water for 1 to 2 hours. Do not wring
out; repeat where required and replace the filter by
a new item after a maximum of 5-6 washes.
Metal grease filters
do not have to be replaced
when they are over-saturated but washed once a
month by hand or in a dishwasher (60°) (please do
not use a corrosive rinsing agent). Allow the filter to
