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.
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.
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.
Switching on
Pull out the filter pull-out and press the button. The fan starts at setting 2.
Press the + or - button to change the fan strength.
Switching off
Press the button. Slide the filter pull-out in.
You can use the intensive setting if there is a large build-up of odours and fumes/vapours.
Press the + button until all of the LEDs in the display light up. The intensive setting is activated.
After approx. six minutes, the electronics automatically reduce the fan to a lower setting . If you want to end the intensive setting before the preset time expires, press the - button until the required fan setting is reached.
The run time is limited. The fan is then automatically reduced to a lower fan setting. You can switch back manually at any time.
If you slide in the filter pull-out, the run-on time will be activated for as long as the extractor hood is operating.
After approx. 10 minutes, the fan switches off automatically.
The lighting can be switched on and off independently of the ventilation.
Press the button.
