Otherwise massive smoke development could occur and toxic combustion gases can be drawn from the chimney or flue shaft into the living rooms.
This can be life threatening!
The appliance is intended for domestic use. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage resulting from improper use or maloperation.
Extractor hoods remove unpleasant odours and vapours and create a pleasant room atmosphere.
Particles of grease, steam and also moisture are absorbed by the grease filter.
A correctly dimensioned extractor hood creates a pleasant room climate without producing draughts and ensures a bearable  airhumidity of 40-60%.

1.4 Hints for use

• Make sure that the room is sufficiently ventilated during operation of the cooker hood.
  To do this, follow the corresponding  instructions in the following chapter on using the hood, especially forexhaust air mode.

• Constant maintenance guarantees problem-free operation and optimal hood performance.

• Prior to carrying out cleaning or maintenance work, the power supply of the cooker hood is to be cut off by unplugging or tripping out or removing the fuse.

• Regularly clean appliance surfaces from encrusted food.

• Regularly clean or replace the filters.

Before using the hood

Ensure that the hood has not been damaged during transport.
Installation and connection of the electrical supply must be  carried out by professionals according to the manufacturer’s instructions and in compliance with the local requirements.

Using the hood

3.1 Operating safety information

• The grease filter must always be in place when bringing the hood in service, otherwise grease vapour can become deposited inside the hood.

• Do not use an open fire under the cooker hood (e.g. when flambéing).
  High flames can damage the hood or even cause a fire (e.g. by igniting grease deposits in the filter).

• If you are using a gas stove, make sure that the cookers are not operated without cooking utensils. With open gas flames, parts of the appliance may be damaged by the rising heat.

• Due to the fire risk, frying or cooking with oils and fats under the hood has only to take place under durable surveillance.
  Attention! The risk of self-ignition increases with oils or fat which have been repeatedly used.

3.2 Exhaust air mode
The extracted air is emitted outdoors via the exhaust pipe.
For this purpose, an exhaust air shaft or an exhaust air pipe leading to the outside must be available in your house.

• If the cooker hood is operated in exhaust air mode together with other room air dependent appliances or fireplaces with a chimney or exhaust air shaft (e.g. chimney fire, gas, oil, wood or coal-fired appliances), the negative pressure in the room must not exceed a value of 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar). Make sure that the room is adequately ventilated, e.g. by means of non-closable openings in doors, windows, in connection with a supply air / exhaust air wall box or by other technical measures. Otherwise, negative pressure can occur and smoke and toxic combustion gases can be drawn into the living rooms from chimneys or flues.
  In this case, there is a danger to life!
  Ask your chimney sweep to advise you on the ventilation system of the house and the appropriate ventilation measures.

• If there is no permanently installed exhaust air pipe or no separate exhaust air shaft, you must convert the extraction hood to recirculation mode (See installation chapter).

3.3 Recirculation mode
The extracted air is filtered through a carbon filter (also known as active carbon filter) and circulated in the room. The carbon filter retains the odours produced through cooking and the filtered air is circulated back into the kitchen through air openings at the side or on the  top. If the hood is used in circulation air mode, it is safe to simultaneously operate a room air- dependent fire.

• It is recommended to switch on the appliance a few minutes before the start of the cooking process.
• Set the power level according  o the amount of smoke and odours to be extracted.
• Operate the hood for another ca. 5 to 10 minutes after cooking. This will clear the kitchen air of remaining fumes and odours.

Care and cleaning

Before installation, maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, the cooker hood must be disconnected from the power supply by pulling the mains plug of the appliance or by switching off or unscrewing the fuse of the house wiring.

• The extractor hood may not be cleaned with a steam cleaner.
• Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol to clean appliances with a matt black finish. This can lead to discolouring.
• Non-compliance with the maintenance and cleaning instructions can result in a fire hazard due to grease deposits.
• The grease filters on your appliance are to be cleaned or replaced at regular intervals. Filters saturated with grease can quickly catch fire and also distribute unpleasant odours. Grease filters obstructed by dirt particles seriously impair the appliance function.
• Especially cleaning the area of the control elements, take great care to prevent water entering the electronics.

Special information for appliances with a stainless steel casing
A commercially available non-abrasive stainless steel cleaning agent should be used for cleaning stainless steel surfaces. Use a soft cloth and dry the appliance well afterwards.
Aggressive cleaning agents, such as scouring agents, vinegar cleaner, or abrasive granulate damage the surface of the cooker hood.
Never use stainless steel cleaning agents in the vicinity of the control elements.

5.1 Cleaning the metal filter

• Cleaning interval for metal grease filters: every 2 – 3 weeks according to the frequency of use.

• Remove the metal filters as shown in the following illustration: (Illustration may differ)

• Soak the metal grease filters well in hot rinse water, then clean them with a soft brush and then rinse well with hot water. If necessary, repeat the process.

• When cleaning metal grease filters take care not to damage the mesh.

• The metal grease filters can also be cleaned in the dishwasher in a standard program with 55 ° C.
  To avoid fatty deposits on dishes or the accumulation of food particles in the mesh of the filter, the metal filters should be cleaned separately from dishes and glasses. Heavily soiled metal filters should first be soaked well in hot rinse water.

• Allow the filter to dry thoroughly and carefully replace it in the extractor hood.

• Frequent cleaning or the use of aggressive cleaning agents can cause color changes of the metal surface. These have no influence on the filter function and are not a reason for complaint.

Avoid using alkaline cleaning agents (ph value over 7).

5.2 Activated carbon filters
The activated carbon filter neutralises unpleasant odours from the room air, which is needed when operating the extractor hood in recirculation mode.

• Traditional activated carbon filters (normally round in shape) can be neither washed nor regenerated. They must be replaced.
• Replacement interval for activated carbon filters: every 9 – 12 months according to frequency of use.
• To remove the activated carbon filter see installation chapter; assembly in reverse order.

If the appliance is not fitted with a connector plug, a two-pole switch, conforming to standards with a minimum open contact gap of 3 mm is to be installed by an authorized tradesman in an easily accessible location.
When the hood is connected to the mains, all control lamps light up briefly and the hood switches to standby mode (accompanied by a beep signal).

Mounting the hood

Edges and internal components can be sharp-edged and cause injuries. Exercise appropriate caution and protect yourself if necessary, e.g. with work gloves.

For installation on solid masonry, proceed as described below.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a different type of wall (e.g. plasterboard, aerated concrete, Poroton brick), replace the mounting material according to the substrate.
If the mounting surface is made of wood, you can do without the dowels. However ensure a secure hold.

• Determine the desired position for mounting the hood body support bracket centrally above your hob according to the previously mentioned distance regulations and dimensions.
  Note: The hood will later be suspended from the bracket on the rear upper edge. To be sure, you can also fix it beforehand and pre-align it optically.

• Place the hood body support bracket horizontally at the desired position on the wall using a spirit level and mark the position of the screw holes.

• Drill a hole at each of the marked positions according to the diameter of the dowels.

• Then carefully tap a dowel into each of the holes with a hammer and fasten the bracket to them with the screws provided (4.2 × 30 mm).

• Raise the hood body and attach it to the wall bracket.

• From the inside of the cooker hood, mark the positions of the holes in its back on the wall.
  (For this step, open the front flap of the hood and remove the metal grease filter).

• Take the hood down, drill holes at the marked points according to the diameter of the dowels and carefully tap one of the other dowels into each of the drill holes with a hammer.

• To prevent air leakage in exhaust airmode (i.e. backflow of outside air), install the supplied backflow flaps on the top of the bonnet in the air outlet.
  Note: This step is not necessary for recirculation mode or if there is already a backflow flap in the exhaust air system of your kitchen.

• Hang up the hood body again and fix the rear side to the wall using the screws and dowels supplied.

• Assemble the telescopic exhaust shaft from the two shaft elements by sliding them into each other and place it on the hood body.

• Pull the inner sharf part upwards to the desired height and mark the position of the upper corners adjacent to the wall for both shaft elements on the wall.

• Remove the shaft again.
  Place the top edge of each of the shaft brackets against the corresponding markings, mark the screw holes on the wall and drill 2 holes at each of the marked points according to the diameter of the dowels.

• Fasten the two shaft brackets to the wall with 2 dowels and screws (4.2 × 30 mm) each.

• For exhaust air operation of the hood, attach the exhaust air hose to the air outlet of the hood body and connect it to the exhaust air pipe.

• Now hang the two shaft elements onto the wall brackets from top to bottom and fix the upper element with the two short screws supplied (3.5 × 8 mm).

• Make sure that the lower end of the outer shaft part rests on the hood body.
  It is not necessary to screw the shaft to the hood body.

• Make sure that the metal grease filter is reinserted before using the appliance.

Informations on air flow

Note: Images are for illustration purposes only and may vary. Fig. 1: Exhaust air into the open
Fig. 2: Exhaust air via air shaft/chimney

• The exhaust air line should be as short and straight as possible.
• To avoid excessive noise or a reduced extraction capacity the diameter of the exhaust air pipeline should not be less than 150 mm.
• Use or form only large radius bends. Small radius bends reduce the extraction capacity of the hood.
• Use only smooth pipelines or flexible hoses of non-flammable materials for the exhaust air pipeline
• If the exhaust air pipeline is horizontally routed, there must be a minimum gradient of 1 cm per metre or an inclination angle of 2°. (Fig. 3) Otherwise condensation water could run into the extractor hood motor.
• If the exhaust air is directed into an exhaust air duct, the end of the entry fitting must be directed in the direction of flow.
• If the exhaust air is directed into an exhaust air duct, the end of the entry fitting must be directed in the direction of flow.
• If the exhaust air pipeline is routed though cool rooms, lofts etc. there can be a large temperature drop within the individual parts of the pipeline, resulting in sweating or condensation water production. This renders outlet pipeline insulation necessary.
• In some cases a condensation water barrier must be installed in addition to adequate insulation

The manufacturer is not responsible for any faults occurring through non- compliance with the above information and provisions.
