Safety instructions

Do not flambé food directly under the
extractor hood.
!
Risk of grease filter catching fire due
to flames.
The hotplates must always be covered
with a utensil.
Restrictions apply to the use of the
extractor hood over a solid-fuel burner
(coal, wood, etc.). (See Installation
instructions).
Gas hobs / Gas cookers
Do not use all the gas hotplates
simultaneously for a prolonged period
(max. 15 minutes) at maximum thermal
load, otherwise there is a risk of burns if
the housing surfaces are touched or a risk
of damage to the extractor hood. If the
extractor hood is situated over a gas hob,
operate the hood at maximum setting if
three or more gas hotplates are operated
simultaneously.

Operating procedure

The most effective method of removing
vapours produced during cooking is to:
K Switch the ventilator ON
as soon as you begin cooking.
K Switch the ventilator OFF
a few minutes after you have finished
cooking.

Lighting:
K The light can be switched on at any
time, even though the fan is switched off.

Filters and maintenance

Grease filters:
Metal filters are used to trap the greasy
element of the vapours that develop
during cooking.
The filter mats are made from non-
combustible metal.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more
saturated with grease, not only does the
risk of it catching fire increase but the
efficiency of the extractor hood can also be
adversely affected.
Important:
By cleaning the metal grease filters at
appropriate intervals, the possibility of them
catching fire as a result of a build-up of heat
such as occurs when deep-fat frying or
roasting is taking place, is reduced.
Cleaning the metal grease filters:
K In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),
the metal grease filter must be cleaned
1 x a month.
K The filters can be cleaned in a dish-
washer. It is however possible that they
will become slightly discoloured.
K The filter must be placed loosely, and
NOT wedged, in the dishwasher.
Important:
Metal filters that are saturated with
grease should not be washed together
with other dishes etc.
K When cleaning the filters by hand, soak
them in hot soapy water first of all.
Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic
cleaners.
Then brush the filters clean, rinse them
thoroughly and leave the water to drain off.
Removing and inserting the metal grease
filters:
1. Press the catch on the grease filters
inwards and fold the filters down.
At the same time take hold of the under-
side of the grease filters with your other
hand.
2. Clean the filters.
3. Insert the clean filters back into the
hood.
Activated carbon filter:
For neutralizing odours in recirculating
mode.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more
saturated with grease, there is an increased
risk of fire and the function of the extractor
hood may be impaired.
Important:
Change the activated carbon filter promptly
to prevent the risk of fire from the
accumulation of heat when deep-fat frying
or roasting.
