• Due to the fire risk, frying or cooking
with oils and fats under the hood is
only to take place under constant
surveillance.
Attention! The risk of self-ignition
increases with oils which have been
used repeatedly used.
Safety
!
Other activities with an open flame
are not permitted. These could dama-
ge the filter or other parts of the appli-
ance or even start a fire.
When using the hood in exhaust air
mode
and operating with chimney-dependent
firing methods, (e.g. coal oven) care must
be taken for an adequate supply of fresh
air in the installation location. Always
discuss this with your responsible chim
-
ney-sweeping specialist.
If no permanently installed exhaust air
pipeline or exhaust air shaft is available,
you must operate the hood in circulation
air mode. (see chapter 12.1)
3.2 In exhaust air mode
3.3 In circulation air mode
The extracted air is emitted outdoors via
the exhaust hose.
For this purpose your house must have
an exhaust air shaft or an exhaust air
pipeline leading outdoors.
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 remai
-
ning 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 ext
-
racted.
3. Operate the hood for another ca. 5 to
10 minutes after finishing cooking.
4. Refit the steam collector (where fit
-
ted).
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 9).
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 simultane
-
ously operate a room air-dependent fire.
