1.1 Intended use
This product is intended to be used as a domestic appliance to extract vapours
and remove odours from cooking environments. This product is intended for
private, non-commercial use. The product may only be used in domestic or
similar working and residential environments. This product is not intended for
outdoor use. The product must be used in accordance with the instructions

1.2 Safety symbols used in this manual
DANGER!
This symbol is used to indicate an
imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING!
This symbol is used to indicate a
potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
CAUTION!
This symbol is used to indicate a
potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result
in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE
This symbol is used to indicate a
situation which, if not avoided,
could result in damage to the
appliance.
1
• Always check the power level selected on the cooker hood before
turning on the appliance. If possible, always use the cooker hood with
the switch in the “I” position. This setting is generally sufficient in the
majority of cooking situations.
• Make sure you switch off the cooker hood after use.
• Clean the mesh filters frequently and according to the instructions.
Replace the active carbon filters frequently and according to the
instructions. Heavily soiled filters have a negative impact on
performance and efficiency.
• Make sure the ducting has no bends sharper than 90 degrees as this
will reduce the efficiency of the cooker hood.
• Switch on the cooker before you start the cooking, so the air flow has
time to establish itself.
• When the cooker hood is used in recirculation mode (with active carbon
filter), keep the hood switched on until the filter is dry.
2
3 Safety instructions
Please take the time and read these general safety instructions carefully. Follow
all the instructions. This will help you avoid the risk of fire, explosions, electric
shocks or other hazards that may result in damage to property and/or severe or
fatal injuries. Please ensure that everyone who uses the appliance has read and
followed these warnings and instructions.
• Please read all the safety information and the instructions. The
manufacturer accepts no liability for any material damage or personal
injury caused by incorrect handling or non-compliance with the safety
instructions. In such
cases, the warranty will be voided.
• Keep all safety information and instructions for future reference and pass
them on to subsequent users of the appliance.
• The appliance is intended for domestic and indoor use only. Never use
outdoors.
• Keep the appliance away from moisture.
• Use the appliance within the specified performance limits.
• Be vigilant at all times, and always be aware of what you are doing. Do
not use electrical equipment whenever your concentration or awareness
is poor or you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
Even a moment of inattentiveness can lead to serious accidents and
injuries when using electrical equipment.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with restricted physical, sensory or intellectual capabilities or a lack of
experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who
is responsible for their safety or provides them with instructions on how to
use the appliance. Children should be supervised in order to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• Never leave children unattended with the packaging material. The
packaging material represents a danger of suffocation. Children
frequently underestimate the dangers. Always keep children away from
the packaging material.

• Protect the mains adapter from use by third parties (particularly children).
Keep the mains adapter in a dry, elevated or locked location away from
children.
• The appliance may only be installed by a qualified and trained electrician.
• Check the appliance and cable for any damage before installation. If
there is any visible damage, a strong odour or excessive
overheating of components, unplug all the connections immediately
and stop using the appliance.
• Connect the appliance to a suitable, properly installed and easily
accessible mains power socket. Make sure the appliance can be
disconnected from the mains at all times.
• Prior to connecting to the mains, make sure your local mains voltage
matches the rating indicated on the appliance.
• The appliance must be connected to a permanent and earthed AC wall
socket.
• Protect the mains cord from being damaged, pinched or buckled and
position it in a way that people cannot trip over the cord. It is
particularly important to ensure that damage is avoided to the plug and
at the point where the cord exits from the appliance.
• Unplug all connections before installing the appliance.
• The appliance has sharp edges. Pay attention to these, especially during
installation and cleaning.
• Do not install the appliance above a cooker with
a high level grill.
• When the appliance is installed above a cooking
appliance, the minimum distance between the
supporting surface of the cooking appliance and
the lowest part of the cooker hood should be:
65 cm
o
Gas cookers:
o
Electric cookers:
60 cm
o
Coal or oil cookers: 60 cm
• Use only original screws. Failure to do so may
be associated with a risk of electrocution.
60-65 cm

• Never leave naked flames under the cooker hood to avoid
overheating.
• Always put lids on pots and pans when cooking on a gas
cooker.
70-80 cm
• Do not use the cooker hood without the filters or when the filters are
excessively greasy.
• When the appliance is in extraction mode, air in the room will be removed by
the cooker hood. Make sure that proper ventilation measures are taken.
• Make sure there is sufficient ventilation in the room for the cooker hood, but
also for other appliances that need ventilation, such as appliances burning
gas or other fuels.
• The air may not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhaust fumes from
appliances burning gas or other fuels. Ensure compliance with local
regulations on the discharge of air.
70-80 cm

or oils could catch fire.
• The appliance and its accessible parts can become hot during operation.
Be careful and avoid touching hot surfaces.
• Do not flambé under the cooker hood.
5
• Make sure the ducting has no bends sharper than 90 degrees as this will
reduce the efficiency of the cooker hood.
• When the cooker hood and other appliances supplied with energy other
than electricity are simultaneously in operation, the negative pressure in the
room may not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar).
• After each use the appliance should be disconnected from the mains to
ensure that it does not represent a risk to humans and domestic animals.
• Always grasp the plug, not the cord itself. Never touch a mains plug with
wet hands.
• Unplug all power connections before cleaning the appliance or before
replacing a lamp.
• Do not use wipes or chemicals as these could damage the surface. Wipe the
housing with a damp cloth. Electrical/electronic parts should not be cleaned.
• Maintenance and inspection should be undertaken on a frequent basis. If
there is any visible damage, a strong odour or excessive overheating of
components, stop using the appliance.
• Clean the appliance in accordance with instructions. Failure to do so may
result in a risk of fire.
• Do not attempt to open, modify or repair the appliance. Do not drop,
puncture, break or expose to high pressure.

8 NOTES ON ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
-During cooking, make sure that there is sufficient air supply so that the
cooker hood can operate efficiently and with low operating noise.
-Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced during cooking.
Use the intensive mode only when necessary. The lower the fan speed,
the less energy is consumed.
-If large amounts steam are produced during cooking, select a higher fan
speed in good time. If the cooking steam has already dispersed in the
kitchen, the cooker hood must be operated longer.
-Switch off the cooker hood when you no longer need it.
-Switch off the lighting when you no longer need it.
-Clean the filter at regular intervals and replace it if necessary to increase
the effectiveness of the ventilation system and prevent fire hazards.
-Always put the lid on when cooking to reduce cooking steam and
condensation.
