10 SAFETY/EXTRACTION SYSTEMS
Replacing carbon filters
The carbon filter must be used if the cooker
hood is not connected to a duct (see extrac-
tion systems on page 10).
Note:
■ The carbon filter must be replaced at least
twice a year, depending on how much the
cooker hood is used.
■ Carbon filters cannot be cleaned to use
again.
■ Saturated carbon is harmful to the environ-
ment, replace the filter regularly.
Removing the filter panel
Switch off the electricity! Remove the plug
from the socket or switch the electricity off at
the mains. Pull the filter panel down (see fig. 5).
Fitting the carbon filter
Place the carbon filter KF 90 (C, see fig. 6) on
the filter panel in the way that is shown and fit
the filter panel in the hood.
Centre the carbon filter KF 20 (see fig. 7) with
the sunken round surface on top of the motor
frame and turn it to the right.
Changing the light bulbs
Remove the filter panel (see fig. 5) and (if pre-
sent) the carbon filter. Change the light bulb.
Strip lighting
See fig. 8.
Remove the filter panel (1) and the active car-
bon filter (if present). Unfasten the two Torx
screws on both sides of the extractor hood
and remove the frame and the glass. Replace
the fluorescent tube.
Cleaning
Cooker hood
Clean the cooker hood with soapy water and a
soft cloth, then wipe with clean water to rinse.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such
as soda. The cooker hood paintwork will stay
looking nice if you wax it occasionally.
Stainless steel canopy hoods
Do not use any sort of scourer. Treat with
Stahlfix (supermarket) and polish with the
structure of the stainless steel.
Filters
■ Wash aluminium filters, every week in
soapy water. The cleaning agents will
make the aluminium filter turn dull, this is
normal.
■ The carbon filters cannot be cleaned to use
again.
Precautions you must take
■ Have the appliance connected by a quali-
fied fitter (see section "Installation").
■ The power supply must be disconnected
before the appliance is cleaned or
repaired. Remove the plug from the socket
or switch the electricity off at the mains.
■ When cooking, the hob becomes hot, chil-
dren should always be kept at a distance.
■ Fats and oils become inflammable on over-
heating. Never leave such foods unattend-
ed during preparation.
■ We advise you to switch the cooker hood
on before you start cooking. Leave the
cooker hood on for another 5 minutes or so
after you have finished cooking.
■ A grease-saturated filter mat is
inflammable, so never flambé under the
cooker hood, and clean the filter regularly.
■ Switch off the electricity before replacing
the light bulbs! Only use the same sort of
light bulbs with the same Wattage.
■ In view of possible sharp edges on the
chimney we advise you to wear working
gloves when fitting the chimney.
Extraction systems
The cooker hoods can be connected in one of
two ways:
■ To a duct. The cooking vapours extracted
by suction are carried outside, once the
grease particles have been filtered. This is
the best method. The cooker hood is con-
nected to the duct at the top using the out-
let flange supplied.
■ As a recirculation hood. The grease parti-
cles and the smell in the extracted vapours
are filtered. The air that has been sucked in
is not carried outside but recirculates in
the kitchen, via the T-piece (B, see fig. 4)
and the grilles in the chimney (A). In this
case you must have a carbon filter fitted.
