FILTERS AND MAINTENANCE
GREASE FILTERS:
Metal filters are used to trap the greasy
element of the vapors that develop during
cooking.
The filter mats are made from non-
combustible metal.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more
saturated with grease, not only does the
risk of it catching fire increase but the
efficiency of the hood can also be adversely
affected.
Important:
By cleaning the metal grease filters at
appropriate intervals, the possibility of them
catching fire as a result of a build-up of heat
such as occurs when deep-fat frying or
roasting is taking place, is reduced.
Saturation indicator:
When the grease filters reach saturation
point, the FILTER LED lights up. The grease
filters should be cleaned right away. To
switch off the LED, press the FILTER button
for 6 seconds.
Cleaning the metal grease filters:
❑ In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),
the metal grease filter must be cleaned
1 x a month.
❑ The filters can be cleaned in a
dishwasher. It is however possible that
they will become slightly discolored.
❑ The filter must be placed loosely, and
NOT wedged, in the dishwasher.
Important:
Metal filters that are saturated with
grease should not be washed together
with other dishes etc.
❑ When cleaning the filters by hand, soak
them in hot soapy water first of all.
Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic
cleaners.
Then brush the filters clean, rinse them
thoroughly and leave the water to drain
off.
OPERATION
IMPORTANT: The most effective way to
remove vapors produced during
cooking is to:
❑ Switch the ventilator ON
as soon as you begin cooking.
❑ Switch the ventilator OFF
a few minutes after you have finished
cooking.
Switching the fan ON
❑ Press the LO MED HI button.
Setting the required fan speed:
❑ Press the LO MED HI button.
The fan speed increases by one level.
Switching the fan OFF:
❑ Press the OFF button.
Delay shut-off:
❑ Press the DELAY button.
The fan runs for 10 minutes on
HI.
At the same time, a dot flashes in the
display.
Then the fan switches off automatically.
The illuminated LED indicates that
DELAY SHUT-OFF is working.
Lighting:
❑ Press the LIGHT button to switch the
light on and off.
❑ The light can be switched on at any
time, even if the fan is switched off.
OPERATING MODES
CIRCULATING-AIR MODE:
❑ An activated carbon filter must be fitted
for this operating mode (see Filters and
maintenance).
The complete installation set and
replacement filters can be obtained from
specialist outlets.
❑ 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 activated carbon filter binds the
odorous substances.
If no activated carbon filter is installed, it
is not possible to bind the odorous
substances in the cooking vapours.
Gas Cooktops / Gas Ranges:
CAUTION
Avoid risk of burns or damage to extractor
hood.
Do not use all gas burners simultaneously
at high settings for a prolonged period
(max.15 minutes).
If the hood is located over a gas cooktop,
operate the hood at maximum setting
whenever three or more gas burners are
being used.
