Operating modes

Exhaust air mode

The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system.

Note: The exhaust air must not be conveyed into a functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue or into a shaft which is used to ventilate installation rooms which contain heat-producing appliances.

• Before conveying the exhaust air into a nonfunctioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, obtain the consent of the heating engineer responsible.
• If the exhaust air is conveyed through the outer wall, a telescopic wall box should be used.

Air recirculation

The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and an activated carbon filter, and is conveyed back into the kitchen.

Note: To bind odours in air recirculation mode, you must install an activated carbon filter. The different options for operating the appliance in air recirculation mode can be found in the brochure. Alternatively, ask your dealer. The required accessories are available from specialist retailers, from customer service or from the Online Shop.

Operating the appliance

These instructions apply to several appliance variants. It is possible that individual features are described which do not apply to your appliance.

Note: Switch on the extractor hood when you start cooking and switch it off again several minutes after you have finished cooking. This is the most effective way of removing the kitchen fumes.

General information

Exhaust air mode

Warning Risk of death!

Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are drawn back in. The exhaust air must not be conveyed into a functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue or into a shaft which is used to ventilate installation rooms that contain heating appliances. If the exhaust air is to be conveyed into a non-functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, you must obtain the consent of the heating engineer responsible.

If the exhaust air is conveyed through the outer wall, a telescopic wall box should be used.

Exhaust duct

Note: The appliance manufacturer does not provide any warranty for faults attributable to the pipe section.

• The appliance achieves its optimum performance by means of a short, straight exhaust air pipe and as large a pipe diameter as possible.
• As a result of long, rough exhaust air pipes, many pipe bends or pipe diameters that are smaller than 150 mm, the optimum extraction performance is not achieved and fan noise is increased.
• The pipes or hoses for laying the exhaust air line must consist of non-combustible material.

Round pipes

An inner diameter of 150 mm, but at least 120 mm, is

recommended.

Flat ducts

The inner cross-section must correspond to the

diameter of the round pipes.

150 mm diameter, approx. 177 cm2

120 mm diameter, approx. 113 cm2

• Flat ducts should not have any sharp deflections.
• Use sealing strips for different pipe diameters.

Preparing the units
