  c) The fire department is being called.
  d) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit. a Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

Operating Modes

You can use this appliance in the air extraction or the recirculation mode.
Exhaust air mode
The air that is drawn in is cleaned by the  grease filters and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system.

Note: Ventilation may not exit through an already operational smoke or exhaust chimney, nor a duct used for ventilating furnace installation areas.

• If the ventilation is intended to pass through a smoke  or exhaust that is not in operation, the responsible area heating inspector must give approval.
• If the ventilation passes through an external wall, use a  telescope wall sleeve.

Circulating-air mode
The air that is drawn in is cleaned by the rease filters and an activated carbon filter and conveyed back into the kitchen.
Note: To bind odors in circulating-air mode, you must install an activated carbon filter. The different options for operating the appliance in circulating-air mode can be found in the brochure. Alternatively, ask your dealer. The required accessories are available for purchase from specialist retailers, from customer service or from the Online Shop.  The accessory numbers can be found at the end of the instructions for use.

Operating the Hood
For Better Results

• The blower should be turned on for about 5 minutes  before cooking in order to establish air currents upward   through the hood. Thus when heat, smoke, moisture,  grease and cooking odors are produced, they will be  carried outside instead of drifting into other rooms.
• Use the low speeds for normal use and the higher peeds for strong odors or fumes.
• Drafts across the range or cooktop will reduce the effectiveness of the hood. Such drafts should be  prevented when possible.
• The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done where  the only air currents are those created by the blower  itself.
• Regular use of the fan system while cooking helps keep  the kitchen comfortable and less humid.
• Use a rear burner when browning or pan frying meat.
• For optimal performance, the width of the hood should equal that of the cooktop or rangetop or exceed it by 3 inches on either side. Install these hoods only with  Bosch blowers.

Home Connect ™
With Home Connect™, the appliance is Wi-Fi-capable and can be remotely controlled using a mobile device (e.g. tablet PC, smartphone). Home Connect™ app offers
