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.
This appliance is intended for domestic use and the household environment
only. The appliance is not intended for use outside. Do not leave the
appliance unattended during operation. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage which is caused by improper use or incorrect operation.
This appliance is intended for use up to a maximum height of 2000 metres above
sea level.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children must not play with, on, or around the appliance. Children must not
clean the appliance or carry out general maintenance unless they are at least
8 years old and are being supervised.
Keep children below the age of 8 years old at a safe distance from the
appliance and power cable.
Check the appliance for damage after unpacking it. Do not connect the
appliance if it has been damaged in transport.
This appliance is not intended for operation with an external clock timer or a
remote control.
Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children. Never allow children to play with
packaging material.
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.
Risk of fire!
- Grease deposits in the grease filter may catch fire. Replace the grease filter at least every two months. Never operate the appliance without the grease filter.
- Grease Risk of fire! deposits in the grease filter may catch fire. Never work with naked flames close to the appliance (e.g. flambéing). Do not install the appliance near a heat producing appliance for solid fuel (e.g. wood or coal) unless a closed, non-removable cover is available. There must be no flying sparks.
- Hot Risk of fire! oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or something similar.
- When gas burners are in operation without any cookware placed on them, they can build up a lot of heat. A ventilation appliance installed above the cooker may become damaged or catch fire. Only operate the gas burners with cookware on them.
- Operating Risk of fire! several gas burners at the same time gives rise to a great deal of heat. A ventilation appliance installed above the cooker may become damaged or catch fire. Never operate two gas burners simultaneously on the highest flame for longer than 15 minutes. One large burner of more than 5 kW (wok) is equivalent to the power of two gas burners.
Risk of burns!
The accessible parts become very hot when in operation. Never touch hot parts.
Keep children at a safe distance.

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.
Risk of damage due to ingress of humidity into the electronic circuitry. Never clean operator controls with a wet cloth.
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 slightly (1° slope).
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.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner. This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment – WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.
Operating mode
This appliance can be used in air extraction mode.
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 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).
Before conveying the exhaust air into a non-functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, obtain the consent of the heating engineer responsible.
Operating the 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.
