Operating Modes
You can use this appliance in the air extraction or the
recirculation mode.
Exhaust air mode
The air that is drawn in is cleaned by the
grease filters and conveyed to the
exterior by a pipe system.
Note:
Ventilation may not exit through an already
operational smoke or exhaust chimney, nor a duct used
for ventilating furnace installation areas.
• If the ventilation is intended to pass through a smoke
or exhaust chimney that is not in operation, the
responsible area heating inspector must give approval.
• If the ventilation passes through an external wall, use a
telescope wall sleeve.
Circulating-air mode
The air that is drawn in is cleaned by the
grease filters and an activated carbon
filter and conveyed back into the kitchen.
Note:
To bind odors in circulating-air mode, you must
install an activated carbon filter. The different options for
operating the appliance in circulating-air mode can be
found in the brochure. Alternatively, ask your dealer. The
required accessories are available for purchase from spe-
cialist retailers, from customer service or from the Online
Shop.
The accessory numbers can be found at the end of the
instructions for use.
Operating the Appliance
These instructions apply to several appliance models. It
is possible that individual features are described that do
not apply to your appliance.
Note:
Turn the extractor hood on when you start cooking
and switch it off again a few minutes after you have
finished cooking. This is the most effective way to
eliminate cooking vapor.
