1 Safety precautions

In accordance with the requirements of IEC 60335-1:

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless supervised or unless they have been given instruction

concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their

safety.

1.1 Before using for the first time

• The appliance must be installed and connected up to the electricity supply

according to the separate installation instructions. The necessary work

should be carried out by a qualified fitter or electrician.

• Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.

The appliance corresponds to recognised technology standards

and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the appliance is

however essential to avoid damage and accidents. Please

therefore follow the precautions given in these operating

instructions.

1 Safety precautions

1.2 Correct use

• The appliance is designed for use in the home for extracting cooking fumes

and smells from above the cooking surface.

• Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially

any electrically live parts, should only be carried out by the manufacturer,

its Customer Services or similarly qualified persons. Repairs if carried out

incorrectly may cause serious injury, damage to the appliance and fittings,

as well as affect the functioning of the appliance. If the appliance is not

working properly or in case of a repair order, follow the instructions given

in the

Repair service section. Please contact our Customer Services if

necessary.

• Use original spare parts only.

• Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass

the appliance on to a third party, please ensure these operating instruc-

tions, together with the installation instructions, accompany the appliance.

In this way, the new owner can inform themselves about how to use the

appliance correctly and read the pertinent safety precautions.

1.3 Children in the home

• Packaging material e.g. plastic and polystyrene can be dangerous for

children. Danger of suffocation! Please keep packaging material away from

children.

• The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these

operating instructions. Children are often unable to recognise the danger

of electrical appliances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow

children to play with the appliance – there is a danger that children could

hurt themselves.

1 Safety precautions

1.4 Note on use

• If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer

Services.

• If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the electricity

supply immediately.

• If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by

Customer Services in order to avoid hazard.

• Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking

appliances.

• Do not flambé food underneath the hood as the grease filters if laden with

grease could catch fire.

• If frying on the cooking surface, do not leave the frying appliance

unattended. The cooking oil in the frying appliance could overheat and

catch fire. Constantly monitor the temperature of the cooking oil, keeping

it below the temperature at which it can catch fire. Change the cooking oil

regularly – dirty oil catches fire more easily than clean oil.

• Clean the filters regularly. Failure to do so can increase the fire hazard due

to the build-up of grease in the grease filter.

• Do not operate the individual cooking zones of the cooking surface without

a pan on them or with an empty pan on them so as to avoid damaging the

appliance or the kitchen fittings through a build-up of heat. Avoid open fires

with oil, gas, wood and coal fired cookers.

• Ensure there is adequate ventilation when the extraction fan is on so as to

avoid creating a disturbing underpressure in the kitchen and to achieve

optimal air extraction.

• Avoid a cross-current of air, which could blow the cooking vapours over

the cooking area.

1 Safety precautions

• If other appliances – fuelled by gas or other fuels – are being used at the

same time, ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air. This does

not apply to air recirculation appliances.

• If other firing systems are being used at the same time (e.g. wood, gas, oil

or coal-fired heating appliances), safe operation is only possible providing

a room negative pressure of 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) is not exceeded at the

location of the appliance. Risk of toxic fumes! An adequate flow of fresh air

must be guaranteed e.g. via non-closable openings in doors or windows

and in combination with an air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other

technical means.

• When carrying out maintenance work on the appliance, including replacing

the light bulb, cut off the electricity supply to the appliance (remove the

screw fuse from the holder or switch the circuit breaker off, or disconnect

from the mains supply).

• When cleaning the appliance make sure no water gets inside the

appliance. Use a moderately damp cloth. Do not spray the inside or

outside of the appliance with water. Do not use a steam cleaner. If water

gets inside the appliance, it can cause damage.

2 Appliance description

The appliance is used to extract cooking fumes and smells from a cooking

area and is normally installed in an overhead unit. This particular model can

be used in the extraction mode or the recirculation mode.

2.1 Extraction model

The integrated fan extracts cooking fumes and smells from above the

cooking surface. The air is cleaned through the grease filter and then fed

through the exhaust air conduit to the outside.

2.2 Recirculation model

Using an activated charcoal filter in the appliance

After being filtered through the grease filters, the cooking fumes and smells

above the cooking surface are passed through an activated charcoal filter.

The cleaned air is then circulated through the grille – at the top of the appli-

ance – and back into the room.

Using an air recycling cartridge (LRC1)

The appliance extracts the cooking fumes and smells from above the cooking

surface through the grease filters, which remove the grease particles. The air

is then blown via a duct through the air recycling cassette. An activated

charcoal filter in the air recycling cassette removes the cooking fumes and

smells. The cleaned air is then circulated through the outlet grille back into

the room.

When the appliance is in use, ensure there is a sufficient supply of

fresh air to replace the air that is being extracted.

The activated charcoal filter is more effective at the lower power

levels.

2 Appliance description

2.3 Equipment

• Glass shield, extractable

• 2 extractor fans with 3 power levels

• 1 metal grease filter

• Illumination

• 1 activated charcoal filter (not supplied)

The extractor fan has 3 power levels: 1, 2 and 3

• 1 = low, 2 = medium, 3 = high capacity

• Levels 1 and 2 are suitable for longer periods of use.

• Level 3 (high) is used for short, intensive extraction of fumes, e.g. when

frying. It should then be switched back to level 1 or 2.

level or the illumination switches on,

providing it was switched on when the

glass shield was fully inserted.

4 Care and maintenance

4.1 Cleaning the housing

Cleaning the outside/inside

➤ Clean the outside using a slightly damp cloth – and detergent if necessary

– and wipe dry.

Grease and condensate water can build up around the grease filter on the

inside.

➤ Clean using a slightly damp cloth – and detergent if necessary – and wipe

dry.

Cleaning the illumination cover

If need be, the illumination cover can be removed for cleaning.

Take care that no water gets into the housing! If water gets into the

housing, it can cause damage.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool etc. to

clean the appliance as they can damage the surface.

Remove screw fuse for appliance or switch off circuit breaker.

4 Care and maintenance

4.2 Cleaning the grease filter

The grease filter should be cleaned at least once a month with normal use. If

properly cared for, the grease filter should provide unlimited years ofservice.

➤ The grease filter can be cleaned in a dishwasher.

➤ Select an «intensive» – or «heavy soil» – wash programme with a warm

pre-wash.

If you do not have a dishwasher:

➤ Clean the grease filter in the sink with hot water and detergent.

➤ Then soak the filter in hot water in the sink for about 2hours and finally

clean with a washing-up brush.

Cleaning may cause the grease filters to become discoloured.

However, this will not affect the functioning of the filters in any way.

4 Care and maintenance

Removing the grease filter

➤ Pull out the glass shield completely.

➤ Pull the grip flap 2 in the centre recess on the grease filter toward the back.

– The grease filter 1 is unlocked and can be taken out toward the bottom.

➤ Cleaning the grease filter.

Installing the grease filter

➤ Pull out the glass shield completely.

➤ Grasp the grease filter and make sure that the grip flap 2 is facing down.

Insert fixed centring pins at the back in the retaining slots in the housing.

➤ Ensure that all centring pins are seated in the correct retaining slots. Only

then will the grip flap 2 latch completely in place.

– The grease filter is correctly inserted if it lies flush with the housing.

4 Care and maintenance

4.3 Replacing the standard activated charcoal filter

Standard activated charcoal filters are only used in the recirculation model.

The standard activated charcoal filter should be replaced after 3 to 6 months

of operation. Standard activated charcoal filters cannot be washed or

rejuvenated.

➤ Pull out the glass shield completely.

➤ Remove the metal grease filter.

➤ Push the two red retaining slides 2 on the standard activated charcoal

filter 1 upward while lifting the filter from below as you pull it out of the

holder 3.

➤ Slide the new standard activated charcoal filter upward under the bracket

and fix it below on the holder 3. Allow the red retaining slides 2 to latch in

place.

➤ Reinsert the metal grease filter.

➤ Screw the fuse back in or switch the circuit breaker back on.

Remove the appliance’s fuse or switch the circuit breaker off.

The dirty standard activated charcoal filter can be disposed of with the

household waste.

4 Care and maintenance

4.4 Cleaning and replacing the long-life activated charcoal

filter

Long-life activated charcoal filters are only used in the recirculation model.

In contrast to the standard activated charcoal filter, the long-life activated

charcoal filter can be cleaned and reactivated. With normal use of the

appliance, the long-life activated charcoal filter should be cleaned every

month. The long-life activated charcoal filter can be washed in the dishwasher

at 65 °C (intensive program). The long-life activated charcoal filter should be

washed separately so that no food remnants can harden on the filter. If no

other options are available, the filter can also be soaked for an hour at 60 °C

in a sink with a standard detergent. Afterward, rinse well.

To reactivate the activated charcoal, the long-life filter must be dried without

its frame in an oven.

➤ Select top or bottom heating element or 100 °C hot air and allow the filter

to dry 60 minutes on the wire shelf.

➤ Remove and clean the metal grease filter.

➤ Take out the long-life activated charcoal filter and reactivate it or replace it

with a new filter.

➤ Reinsert the metal grease filter.

➤ Screw the fuse back in or switch the circuit breaker back on.

Remove the appliance’s fuse or switch the circuit breaker off.

After about 3 years, the long-life activated charcoal filter must be

replaced since its ability to absorb odours is reduced.

The dirty long-life activated charcoal filter can be disposed of with the

household waste.

4 Care and maintenance

4.5 Replacing the halogen light bulb

➤ Pull out the glass shield completely.

➤ Remove the grease filter.

➤ Unscrew the halogen light bulb from the fixture and replace it with a new

halogen light bulb of the same type (see designation on the light bulb

housing or on the identification plate).

➤ Reinsert the grease filter.

➤ Slide in the glass shield, put back the screw fuse or switch on the circuit

breaker again.

Remove the appliance’s screw fuse or switch off the circuit

breaker.

Halogen light bulbs get hot during operation! Allow to cool down

first.
