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 

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.

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.
