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).
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
to enable the extractor hood to work efficiently and with a low
level of operating noise.
■
Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced
during cooking. Only use intensive mode when required. The
lower the fan speed, the less energy is consumed.
■
If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a higher
fan speed in good time. If the cooking steam has already
spread around the kitchen, the extractor hood will need to 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.
■
Put the lid on to reduce cooking steam and condensation.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
Operating modes
This appliance can be used in exhaust-air mode or circulating-
air mode.
Exhaust air mode
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
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 outlets, from customer service or from
the Online Shop. The accessory numbers can be found at the
end of the instructions for use.
