Cooker Hood User Manual
| The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system. |
Note: The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).
| 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.

Warning – Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children.
Never allow children to play with packaging material.
Warning – Danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are drawn back in.
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if the appliance is being operated in exhaust air mode at the same time as room airdependent heat-producing appliance is being operated.
Room air-dependent heat-producing appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coaloperated heaters, continuous flow heaters or water heaters) obtain combustion air from the room in which they are installed and discharge the exhaust gases into the open air through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney).
In combination with an activated vapour extractor hood, room air is extracted from the kitchen and neighbouring rooms - a partial vacuum is produced if not enough fresh air is supplied. Toxic gases from the chimney or the extraction shaft are sucked back into the living space.
Safe operation is possible only when the partial vacuum in the place where the heatproducing appliance is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved when the air needed for combustion is able to enter through openings that cannot be sealed, for example in doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or by other technical means.
In any case, consult your responsible Master Chimney Sweep. He is able to assess the house's entire ventilation setup and will suggest the suitable ventilation measures to you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapour extractor hood is operated exclusively in the circulating-air mode.
Warning – Risk of fire!
Clean the grease filter at least once a month.
Never operate the appliance without the grease filter.
Warning – Risk of burns!
The accessible parts become very hot when in operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children at a safe distance.
Warning – Risk of injury!
Warning – Risk of electric shock!
Causes of damage
Caution!
Risk of damage due to corrosion. Always switch on the appliance while cooking to avoid condensation. Condensate can produce corrosion damage.
Always replace faulty bulbs to prevent the remaining bulbs from overloading.

Surface damage due to incorrect cleaning. Clean stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the grain only. Do not use any stainless steel cleaners for operator controls.
Surface damage due to strong or abrasive cleaning agents. Never use strong and abrasive cleaning agents.
Risk of damage from returning condensate. Install the exhaust duct in such a way that it falls away from the appliance (1° slightly slope).
