How the range hood behaves when OptiLink is activated
When OptiLink is turned on
– The range hood illumination comes on when the hob is switched on.
– The range hood switches on immediately at power level 1 as soon as a power level
is assigned to a cooking zone. The range hood maintains power level 1 for the dur-
ation of the reaction time according to the mode selected before the power level is
adjusted to the hob setting.
– The range hood controls the power level in line with the current setting on the hob.
Manual operation
– When the hob or OptiLink is turned off, manual operation is possible at all times.
Manual overriding
– When the hob is switched on and OptiLink is activated, manual overriding is pos-
sible at all times. Three minutes after the last entry, OptiLink resumes control.
After-running time
The after-running time function is activated as soon as the cooking process ends. This
happens under the following conditions:
– The last active cooking zone is reduced to power level 0 or is operated using the
melting function.
– The hob is switched off while the range hood fan is being operated at power level
1, 2, 3 or intensive.
The range hood illumination is on – irrespective of whether the fan's after-running time
function is running – and goes off within 5 minutes of the hob being switched off. This al-
lows enough time for plating up the food.
The
display symbol illuminates when after-running time is active.
Terminating the connection between the range hood and the hob
The following steps must be taken to terminate the connection between the range hood
and the hob:
▸ Pull the deflector plate completely out.
▸ Switch the hob and the range hood off.
▸ Hold the
button on the range hood depressed for 10 seconds.
–
The
display symbol starts to flash after 5 seconds and goes out after 10
seconds.
▸ See the operating instructions for the hob for terminating OptiLink.
