by children without supervision.
▪ If an appliance is not
equipped with a mains cable
and a plug or other means for
disconnecting from the mains
with a contact opening on
each pole complying with the
conditions of overvoltage category III for full isolation, an
isolating device must be incorporated into the permanently installed electrical installation in accordance with the

▪ If the mains cable of this appliance is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or its Customer Services
or a similarly qualified person
in order to avoid hazard.
1.3
Appliance-specific safety
precautions
▪ The room must be adequately
ventilated when operating the
range hood at the same time
as other appliances that burn
gas or other fuels.
▪ Observe the official regulations for the exhaust-air layout.
1 Safety precautions
▪ The extracted air must not be
fed into a chimney which is
used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas
or other fuels.
▪ The minimum distance
between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood
must be observed. If the
range hood is installed above
a gas appliance, this distance
must not be less than 65 cm.
If the installation instructions
for the gas hob stipulate a larger distance, this must be observed.
▪ WARNING: Before replacing
the light bulb, ensure the appliance is switched off and
disconnected from the mains
power supply to avoid possible electric shock.
▪ When replacing a light bulb,
the maximum wattage rating
of replaceable light bulbs
must be visible.
▪ This appliance is intended for
use in the home and similar
settings such as: in staff kitchens in shops, offices and
other commercial establishments; in agricultural establishments; by guests in hotels,
motels and other accommodation establishments; in bed
and breakfast establishments.
▪ Do not operate the appliance
using an external time switch
or a separate remote control
system.
▪ Failure to follow the cleaning
instructions may cause a fire
hazard.
▪ Do not flambé food underneath the range hood.
1.4
Instructions for use
Before using for the first time
▪ The appliance must be installed and
connected to the electricity supply in
accordance with the separate installation instructions. Have a qualified fitter/
electrician carry out the necessary
work.
▪ Observe the official regulations for the
exhaust-air layout.
▪ Dispose of the packaging material in
accordance with local regulations.
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, may only be carried out by the manufacturer, its customer service department 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 a repair is
needed, follow the instructions given in
the 'Service & Support' section. Contact
our Customer Services if necessary.
5
1 Safety precautions
▪ Use original spare parts only.
▪ Retain these operating instructions for
future reference.
Note on use
▪ If the appliance is visibly damaged, do
not use it. Contact our Customer Services.
▪ If the appliance is not functioning properly, disconnect it from the power supply immediately.
▪ Ensure there is adequate ventilation
when the extractor fan is on so as to
avoid creating 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.
▪ If other appliances – fired 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 cleaning the appliance make
sure no water gets inside it. Use a moderately damp cloth only. 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.
▪ Accessible parts may become hot when
used with cooking appliances.
6
Caution: Burns hazard!
▪ Do not leave the appliance unattended
when deep-frying on the cooking surface. The cooking oil in the deep-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.
Caution: Risk to life!
▪ Packaging material, e.g. plastic film and
polystyrene, can be dangerous for children and animals. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away
from children and animals.
▪ When carrying out maintenance work
on the appliance, including replacing
light bulbs, 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.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪ Observe the cleaning intervals. Failure
to do so can increase the fire hazard
due to the build-up of grease in the
metal grease filters.

Appliance description
2.1
Introduction
The appliance is designed for use in the home for extracting cooking odours from above
a cooking area and can be used in the extraction or recirculation mode.
2.2
Extraction mode
A fan extracts cooking fumes and smells from above the cooking surface. The metal
grease filters clean the extracted air, which is then passed through a connecting pipe fitted with an integrated non-return valve and through the air duct to the outside.
When in use, ensure there is a sufficient supply of fresh air to replace the air that is
being extracted.
2.3
Recirculation mode with activated charcoal filter
A fan extracts cooking fumes and smells from above the cooking surface. The air is
passed through the metal grease filter and activated charcoal filter, grease particles and
odours are largely removed from the air and it is then circulated back into the room.
If activated charcoal filters are not supplied with the appliance, these should be
ordered and installed before using the appliance for the first time.
2.4
Features
▪ 1 hood body is equipped with: extractor fan, LED lighting, operating and display elements, metal grease filters
▪ Installation material
▪ Activated charcoal filter for recirculation mode (not included in the scope of delivery,
available as an accessory)
