dry thoroughly and carefully replace it in the
extractor hood.
Avoid using alkaline dishwasher cleaning
agents (ph value over 7).
Carbon filters
a)
Traditional carbon filters (normally round in
shape)
can be neither washer nor regenerated.
The charcoal filters have to be replaced regularly,
at least every 3 months or earlier, depending on
the cooking habits
b)
Washable and regeneratable carbon filters
(normally square in shape)
are to be washed
once a month in a dishwasher, using a standard
rinsing agent and with the intensive rinsing
program (at the highest temperature).
Washable and regeneratable carbon filters absorb
kitchen odours for a maximum of 3 years when
cleaned monthly. The filter should then be
replaced by a new item.
Washable and regeneratable carbon filters
should be washed separately to avoid food residue
deposits which can later cause unpleasant odours.
After washing, the washable and regeneratable
carbon filter must be reactivated. This is carried out
by drying the cleaned filter in an oven for 10 minutes
at 100°C.
Read the package to see whether your carbon filter
is washable and regeneratable.
If the package carries no information, then it contains
a traditional, non-washable carbon filter.
Each time you change or wash a grease filter or
carbon filter, after removal clean all exposed lower
parts of the hood with a mild grease solvent.
For the daily cleaning of the outer pats of the hood
use a soft cloth moistened with alcohol or a mild liquid
cleaner. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
There is a risk of fire if the instructions for
cleaning the hood and the changing or cleaning of
the filters are not complied with.
8. Changing the lamps
When changing a lamp, make sure that the
new lamp does not have a higher wattage than that
of the original.
If the documentation of the cooker hood does not
include an instruction for replacing lamps, the lamp
must be replaced by the customer service for safety
reasons.

9. Fault – what to do if ...
The motor fails to function:
Is the plug properly inserted in the socket?
Is there a power supply failure?
Has a fuse blown?
The hood capacity is insufficient / operating
noise has increased:
Is the size of the exhaust air pipeline sufficient?
Is the exhaust air duct blocked?
The cross section of the air pipeline (from the hood
to the wall box incl.) should be
120
mm.
A smaller air pipeline cross-section can possibly
impair the motor power.
The air flow can be obstructed if the wall box is
fitted with a fly mesh.
If this is the case remove the fly mesh.
If the cover plate of the wall box has fixed, very
inclined louvres, you should remove the plate to
check whether this solves the problem.
Mount a cover plate with movable louvres in the
wall box, as this will least obstruct the air flow.
Is / are the filter(s) clean?
Was / were the carbon filter(s) installed more than
six months ago?
Then this/these should be changed.
Is the air taken from the kitchen being replaced by
sufficient fresh air, so that no partial vacuum is
being produced in the room?
The lighting fails to function:
Does the lamp need changing?
Has the lamp been properly fitted and seated in
the holder up to the stop?
Is the fuse blown or has the circuit breaker tripped
out?
If all the above checks fail to remedy the fault,
it is possible you have a more serious problem.
