Environmental protection
Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here you can find tips on how to save even more energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
■ During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient supply of air so that the extractor hood can work efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
■ Adjust the fan speed to the intensity of the cooking fumes. Only use intensive mode where this is required. A lower fan speed means that less energy is consumed.
■ If there are intensive cooking fumes, select a higher fan speed in good time. If cooking fumes have already spread in the kitchen, the extractor hood must be operated for longer.
■ Switch off the extractor hood if you no longer require it.
■ Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
■ Clean and, if required, replace the filter at regular intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
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.
Operating the appliance
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.
Control panel model 1 and 2
Setting the fan
Switching on
Pull out the filter pull-out. The fan starts at the selected level.
Press buttons 1, 2 or 3 in order to change the fan strength.
Switching off
Slide the filter pull-out in as far as the limit stop.
Note: When you pull out the filter pull-out again, the fan starts up at the fan speed that was last selected.

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.
Intensive setting
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.
Fan run-on 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.
Lighting
The lighting can be switched on and off independently of the ventilation.
Press the 
button.

Cleaning the metal mesh grease filters
These instructions apply to several appliance variants. It is possible that individual features are described which do not apply to your appliance.
Warning Risk of fire! Grease deposits in the grease filter may catch fire.
Clean the grease filter at least every 2 months.
Never operate the appliance without the grease filter.
Notes
■ Do not use any aggressive, acidic or alkaline cleaning agents.
■ When cleaning the metal mesh grease filters, also clean the holder for the metal mesh grease filters in the appliance using a damp cloth.
