Important safety information

Warning – Danger of suffocation!
Important safety information Packaging material is dangerous to children. Never allow children to play with packaging material.
Warning – 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.

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. Always replace faulty bulbs to prevent the remaining bulbs from overloading.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). Risk of damage as a result of incorrect loading of design elements. Do not pull design elements.Do not place objects on the design elements or hang objects from them.
Caution!
There is a risk of surface damage if you do not peel off the protective film.Remove the protective film from all parts of the appliance before using the appliance for the first time.

Environmental protection

Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Environmental protection 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.

ÇOperating 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 non-functioning 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.

Circulating-air mode

The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and an activated carbon filter and conveyed back into the kitchen.

 

Note: To bind odours 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 from specialist retailers, from customer service or from the Online Shop.

Installation

Preparing the installation

Caution!
Ensure that there are no electric wires, gas or water pipes in the area where holes are to be made.
Caution!
Holes must be drilled differently depending on how the appliance is designed. Before installing the extractor hood, take note of its design.

1. Mark a vertical centre line on the wall from the ceiling to the lower edge of the extractor hood.
2. Mark positions for the screws and the contour of the attachment area.
3.  Drill 8mm Ø holes to a depth of 80mm and press the wall plugs flush with the wall. ¨
4.  Screw on the fixing bracket for the flue duct. ©
5.  Screw in 2 securing screws with washers to approx.5mm. ª

Installation

2.  First, remove the protective foil from the back of the appliance and, following installation, remove the foil completely.
3.  Connect the appliance. ©
4.  Screw-in the safety screw – and washer – and tighten all the screws. ª

Exhaust duct
Note: The device manufacturer does not assume any warranty for complaints attributable to the pipe section.

• The device achieves its optimum performance by means of a short, straight exhaust air pipe and as large a pipe diameter as possible.
• As a result of long rough exhaust air pipes, many pipe bends or pipe diameters that are smaller than 150 mm, the optimum extraction performance is not achieved and fan noise is increased.
• The pipes or hoses for laying the exhaust air line must consist of non-combustible material.

Round pipes
An inner diameter of 150 mm, but at least 120 mm, is recommended.
Flat ducts
The inner cross-section must correspond to the diameter of the round pipes.
