ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Avoid the risk of electric shock; make sure the appliance is
switched off before cleaning the appliance.
• Only use the appliance inside the home.
5
Safety
• Do not use the cooker hood if the grease filter has not been fitted
properly!
• Do not lean against the cooker hood.
• Never use the cooker hood as a working surface unless this is
indicated explicitly.
• Grease and oil are inflammable when overheated. Remain in the
cooking area when preparing meals.
• To prevent hot fat from catching fire, you should only deep-fry
under continuous supervision.
• The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly both on the outside
as well as the inside (at least 1 x per month). Insufficient cleaning
or a delay in the replacement of filters can cause a fire hazard.
• Clean the filters on time.
• The grease filters can become hot during use. After cooking wait
at least 30 minutes before cleaning.
• Please note! Intensive use can lead to condensation on the
cooker hood. Condensation is simple to remove with a dry cloth.
• Follow the instructions in the manual for cleaning or replacing the
grease filters and/or carbon filters!
DANGER OF FIRE!
• There is a risk of fire if the instructions for cleaning or replacing
grease filters and/or carbon filters are not followed.
• Through grease deposits in the metal grease filter. Never work
with open flame under the appliance (eg. flambéing).
Always use the appliance with the metal grease filter. Clean the
grease filter regularly.
• Through overheated fat or oil. Never extinguish a fire with water;
always use a fire blanket, lid or plate.
• The appliance may have sharp edges; please be careful during
cleaning.
6
Safety
• The light emitted by LED lights is very dazzling and can damage
the eyes. Do not look directly into the switched on LED lights for
longer than 100 seconds.
• When washing grease filters in the dishwasher it is recommended
to use a short, non-intensive programme. Check the grease filter
after washing in the dishwasher for wear (loose material). Wear
can occur as a result of frequent washing. If loose material is
visible, replace the filters in order to prevent this loose material
from ending up in the food that is cooked.
• Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5 °C.
• Keep a 20 cm separation distance to the appliance.

Operation
Cleaning
WARNING!
Important! For all maintenance, first, switch off the mains power to the cooker hood by pulling
the plug out of the socket or by turning off the home's master switch. The hood needs to be
cleaned regularly, both inside as well as outside (at least as often as the grease filter).
Do not use abrasive cleaning products. Do not use alcohol!
If the instructions regarding cleaning the appliance or replacing the filters are not followed, this
can cause a fire. These instructions must be followed! The manufacturer is not liable for damage
to the hood or fire damage resulting from incompetent maintenance or from non-adherence to
the safety instruction above.
Cooker hood
Clean the cooker hood with soapy water and a soft cloth.
Then rinse with clean water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as caustic soda. The cooker
hood finish stays in good condition if it is buffed periodically following the application of wax.
NOTE!
Stainless steel cooker hoods
Do not use scouring pads or other abrasive cleaners on stainless steel cooker hoods. Finish with
a non-abrasive, non-polishing agent and buff the stainless steel in the direction of the grain.
Metal grease filters
Metal grease filters should be cleaned once a month (or when indicated by the filter cleaning indicator
– if present on the model) using a neutral cleaning agent, either by hand or in the dishwasher on a
short, low-temperature programme. Place the grease filters with the openings facing downwards in
the dishwasher so the water can drain out of the filter. Aluminium grease filters become dull as a
result of dishwasher cleaning agents. This is normal and does not effect the working.
Cleaning grease filters
1. Open the panel.
2. Remove the grease filters from the hood by pulling the special
handle.

Maintenance
Replacing the carbon filter
NOTE!
The carbon filter must always be used if the cooker hood does not have an outlet.
Using a carbon filter creates more sound than when using the cooker hood with an outlet.
The carbon filter’s operation is optimal at a lower motor speed. You should, therefore, avoid using
the boost function.
Saturation of the carbon filter will eventually occur after more or less prolonged use, depending
on the type of cooking and how frequently the grease filter is cleaned.
It is necessary to replace the carbon filter when indicated by the filter indicator.
Do not wash or reuse the Activated Charcoal filter. Saturated Activated Charcoal is not
environmentally friendly. Instead, replace it regularly, every four months.
Lighting
WARNING!
The hood is fitted with LED lights. An authorized technician must replace these. Do not attempt
to replace the LED lights yourself.

Maintenance
Safety instructions
Faulty parts may only be replaced by original parts. The manufacturer
can only guarantee that original parts meet safety requirements.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
WARNING!
This appliance should only be connected by a registered installer.
• Check the appliance for transport damage. Do not connect a damaged appliance.
• Always use the original Supply cord to connect the appliance.
• The electrical connection must comply with national and local regulations.
• The wall plug socket and plug should always be accessible.
• If a stationary appliance is not fitted with a supply cord and a plug, or with other means for
disconnection from the supply mains having a contact separation in all poles that provide full
disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions, the means for disconnection must be
incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules. This is also applicable for
appliances with a supply cord and plug when the plug is not accessible after installing the
appliance. Using an omnipolar switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm fitted in the
fixed wiring will fulfil this requirement.
• For AU/NZ: Means providing full disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions must
be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with AS/NZS 3000.
• The appliance should not be connected to the mains via a multi-plug adapter or extension cable,
as the safe use of the equipment cannot be guaranteed.
• For AU/NZ: The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply before starting any repair work.
• We advise you to wear protective gloves when assembling the cooker hood because of the
possible sharp edges.
• For AU/NZ: The distance between the lowest point of the cooker hood and the supporting surface
for the cooking vessels gas hob should be at least 60 cm.
• If the instructions of the gas hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account.
WARNING!
Extraction hoods and other appliances that extract cooking vapours can affect the safe operation
of appliances that burn gas or other fuel (including those in other rooms) by backflowing
combustion gases. These gases can potentially lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. After installing
an extraction hood or other vapour extractor, the operation of appliances with flue gas extraction
must be tested by a competent person to ensure that the combustion gases do not flow back.
Never open the casing of the appliance.

Installation
WARNING!
Failure to install screws or fixing devices in accordance with these instructions may result in an
electrical hazard.
If the safety instructions and warnings are not followed, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible
for any resulting damage.
If you decide to discontinue using the appliance because of a fault, we recommend you cut off the
cable after removing the plug from the plug socket. Take the appliance to your municipality’s waste
disposal site.

Tips for energy-efficient cooking with hoods
• Use a low extractor setting and use the highest setting (boost) only if necessary.
• A well-ventilated kitchen makes the range hood more efficient.
• Clean filters regularly and replace filters when needed to keep the filter efficiency high, as a
saturated filter cannot perform and leads to longer usage times.
