Description of appliance Before using for the first time
Operating modes
Exhaust-air mode:
❑
The extractor-hood fan extracts the kit-
chen vapours and conveys them through
the grease filter into the atmosphere.
❑
The grease filter absorbs the solid
particles in the kitchen vapours.
❑
The kitchen is kept almost free of grease
and odours.
Before reading these instructions, please fold out the illustrated back pages
Note: When assessing the air pressure, the
entire ventilation system in the house/apart-
ment must be taken into account. If using
cooking appliances, e.g. hob and/or gas
cooker, this rule does not apply.
Government regulations must be observed
for the conveyance of exhaust air.
If the extractor hood is used in circulating-air
mode – with activated carbon filter –, there
are no operating restrictions.
Circulating-air mode:
❑
An activated carbon filter must be fitted
for this operating mode (see Filters and
maintenance). The activated carbon filter
can be purchased as an optional
accessory FROM YOUR DEALER.
❑
The extractor-hood fan extracts the
kitchen vapours which are purified in the
grease filter and activated carbon filter
and then conveyed back into the
kitchen.
❑
The grease filter absorbs the grease
particles in the kitchen vapours.
❑
The activated carbon filter binds the
odorous substances.
If the extractor hood is switched from
exhaust-air mode to circulating-air mode,
the exhaust-air opening must be sealed to
prevent a hazardous situation (see optional
accessories in the Instructions for use).
Important information:
This extractor hood complies with the
relevant safety regulations.
Repairs may be carried out only by
qualified technicians.
To prevent a hazardous situation, a
damaged connection cable must be
replaced by the manufacturer or his
customer service or a similarly qualified per-
son.
Improper repairs may put the user at
considerable risk.
D
If the extractor hood is in exhaust-air
mode and a flue-type heater is running
at the same time
(e.g. gas, oil or solid-fuel
heaters, continuous-flow heaters, water
heaters),
ensure that the fireplace has an
adequate air supply for combustion.
Safe operation requires that the low air
pressure in the room in which the fireplace
is located does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04
mbar).
This low air pressure can be obtained,
provided combustion air can escape
through non-lockable openings, e.g. in
doors,
windows, air-intake/exhaust-air wall boxes
or by other technical procedures, such as
reciprocal interlocking, etc.
