Do not let adults or children operate the appliance unsupervised: – if they are mentally or physically unable to use the appliance safely and correctly, – if they don’t have the knowledge and experience to use the appliance safely and correctly. ! ! Do not flambe 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: . Switch the ventilator ON as soon as you begin cooking. . Switch the ventilator OFF a few minutes after you have finished cooking. 1 2 3 Light Off/On Ventilator settings Switching ON: . Slide the right slide switch to the desired fan setting. Switching OFF: . Slide the right slide switch back to 0. Lighting: . 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 noncombustible 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: . In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily), the metal grease filter must be cleaned 1 x a month. . The filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher. It is however possible that they will become slightly discoloured. . 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. . 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. Filters and maintenance 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 underside 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. Installation and removal: 1. Remove the metal filters (see "Removing and inserting the metal grease filters"). 2. Insert the activated carbon filter. 3. Engage the lug. 4. Insert the metal grease filters (see "Removing and inserting the metal grease filters"). Replacing the activated carbon filter: . During normal operation (1 to 2 hours per day) the activated carbon filters should be replaced approximately 1 x year. . A replacement filter can be obtained from any authorized dealer (see optional accessories). . Use original filters only. By doing so you will obtain maximum performance from your extractor hood. Disposing of the old activated carbon filter: . There are no pollutants in the activated carbon filters. They can therefore be disposed of as part of your normal domestic refuse. 20 Replacing the light bulbs 1. Switch off the extractor hood and pull out the mains plug or switch off the electricity supply at the fuse box. 2. Remove the grease filters (see Filters and Maintenance). 3. Press down the bulb cover and disconnect from the light strip. 4. Replace the bulb (standard filament bulb, max 40 W, E14 bulb holder). 5. Attach the lamp cover again. 6. Re-insert the grease filters. 7. Plug the appliance into the mains or switch it on at the fuse box. Cleaning and care Isolate the extractor hood by pulling out the mains plug or switching off the fuse. Do not clean the extractor hood with abrasive sponges or with cleaning agents which contain sand, soda, acid or chlorine! Clean the extractor hood with a hot soap solution or a mild window cleaner. Do not scrape off dried-on dirt but wipe off with a damp cloth. ...
