Extraction systems
The cooker hood can be connected in two ways
-
As a cooker hood connected to an exhaust duct.
The cooking fumes are drawn into the cooking hood, filtered, and exhausted outdoors. This is the best way! -
As a recirculation cooker hood.
The cooking fumes are drawn into the cooking hood and the grease droplets and odours are filtered out. The filtered air is not exhausted outdoors, but is returned to the kitchen. You then need to fit an odour/fine particle filter.
Note! The recirculation set including filter must be ordered separately.

for the user who wants the extraction level
to automatically adjust to the cooking intensity. Extraction starts
automatically as soon as a cooking zone is active and the extraction level
depends on how the hob is used. When the hob is switched off, the extraction
continues for 10 minutes and then stops automatically.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
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 in the same frequency as the grease filter cleaning). Do not use
abrasive cleaning products. Do not use alcohol!
Important!
If the instructions regarding cleaning the appliance or replacing the filters
are not followed, this can cause a fire. These instructions should 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 above
safety instructions.
Cooker hood
Clean the cooker hood with soapy water and a soft cloth. Then wash off 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.
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 saturation indication system, if present on your model), using a
neutral cleaning agent, preferably by hand or in the dishwasher on a short,
low-temperature program. Place the grease filters with the openings facing
downwards in the dishwasher so the water can drain out of the filter.
Aluminum-colored and black grease filters become dull as a result of
dishwasher cleaning agents. This is normal and does not effect the working.
Grease filters
Remove the filters by pulling on their release handles.
Odour/fine particle filter
Use an odour/fine particle filter when the cooker hood is not connected to an exhaust duct.
The functioning
- More noise is produced when carbon filters are used than when the cooker hood is used with an exhaust vent.
- Carbon filters function optimally at a lower motor speed. For this reason, avoid the intensive setting.
Replacing the odour/fine particle filter
The odour/fine particle filter must be replaced annually. To replace the
filter, follow the instructions supplied with the new filter. The
recirculation set HR0014 must be ordered for the first installation.
- Remove the grease filter.
- Remove the filter holder by loosening the screw and removing the holder at an angle from the appliance.
- Remove the filter and place a new filter back in the holder. Note the arrow on the filter for correct placement!
- Place the filter holder back in the appliance and tighten the screw.
- Install the grease filter.
Important:
The saturation of the filter depends on the intensity of use, the manner of
cooking and the regularity with which the grease filters are cleaned.
It is important that the grease filters are properly dried before installation.
