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.

Important safety information

Read these instructions carefully. Only then will you be able to operate your appliance safely and correctly. Retain the instruction manual and installation instructions for future use or for subsequent owners.

The appliance can only be used safely if it is correctly installed according to the safety instructions. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the appliance works perfectly at its installation location.

The width of the extractor hood must correspond at least with the width of the hob.

For the installation, observe the currently valid building regulations and the regulations of the local electricity and gas suppliers.

When conveying the exhaust air, official and legal regulations (e.g. state building regulations) must be followed.

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.

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 air-dependent heat-producing appliance is being operated.

Room air-dependent heat-producing appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-operated 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.

• Adequate incoming air must therefore always be ensured.
• An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will not ensure compliance with the limit.

Safe operation is possible only when the partial vacuum in the place where the heat-producing 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 - Danger of death!

Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are drawn back in. If installing a ventilation system in a room with a heat-producing appliance connected to a chimney/flue, the electricity supply to the hood must be equipped with a suitable safety switch.

Warning - Risk of fire!

Grease deposits in the grease filter may catch fire. The specified safety distances must be observed in order to prevent an accumulation of heat. Observe the specifications for your cooking appliance. If gas and electric hobs are operated together, the largest specified distance applies.

Only one side of the appliance may be installed directly next to a high-sided unit or a wall. The distance between the appliance and wall or high-sided unit must be at least 50 mm.

Warning - Risk of injury!

• Components inside the appliance may have sharp edges. Wear protective gloves.
• The applia nce may fall down if it has not been properly fastened in place. All fastening components must be fixed firmly and securely.
• The appliance is heavy. To move the appliance, 2 people are required. Use only suitable tools and equipment.

Warning - Risk of electric shock!

Components inside the appliance may have sharp edges. These may damage the connecting cable. Do not kink or pinch the connecting cable during installation.

Warning - Risk of electric shock!

It must always be possible to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. The appliance must only be connected to a protective contact socket that has been correctly installed.

The mains plug of the mains power cable must be easily accessible after installation of the appliance. If this is not possible, an all-pole isolating switch must be integrated into the permanent electrical installation according to the conditions of overvoltage category III and according to the installation regulations.

The permanent electrical installation must only be wired by a professional electrician. We recommend installing a residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) in the appliance's power supply circuit.

Warning - Danger of suffocation!

Packaging material is dangerous to children. Never allow children to play with packaging material.
