Gas hobs / Gas cookers
ṇ Do not use all the gas hotplates
simultaneously for a prolonged period
(max. 15 minutes) at maximum thermal
load, otherwise there is a risk of burns if
the housing surfaces are touched or a risk

extractor hood is situated over a gas hob,
operate the hood at maximum setting if
three or more gas hotplates are operated
simultaneously.
Exhaust-air mode
q

produced during cooking into the
extractor hood, where they pass
through the grease filter and out into the
open air.

The grease filter absorbs the grease
contained in the vapours produced
during cooking.
q
The kitchen is kept almost totally free
from grease and odours.
Circulating-air mode
q An activated carbon filter must be fitted
for this operating mode (see Filters and
maintenance).
Activated carbon filters can be
purchased from specialist outlets
(see Optional accessories on the last
page).
q
The ventilator fan draws the vapours
produced during cooking into the
extractor hood, where they pass
through the grease filter and the activa-
ted carbon filter before the clean air is
discharged back into the kitchen.
q
The grease filter absorbs the grease
contained in the vapours produced
during cooking.
q
The activated carbon filter absorbs any
odorous substances.
