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.
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
ATTENTION! Before performing any
maintenance operation, isolate the hood
from the electrical supply by switching off at
the connector and removing the connector
fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected
through a plug and socket, then the plug
must be removed from the socket.
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
after 8 to 10 weeks.
❑ 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. 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.
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.
Inserting the filter:
1. Remove the metal filters (see “Removing
and inserting the metal grease filters”).
2. Insert an activated carbon filter on the
right and left of the fan motor and rotate
clockwise the central handle of the
charcoal filter.
3. Insert the grease filters (see removal and
installation of the metal-mesh grease
filters).
Removing the filter:
The filters are removed in reverse sequence.
Replacing the activated carbon filters:
❑ During normal operation (1 to 2 hours per
day) the activated carbon filters should be
replaced approximately 1 x year.
❑ The activated carbon filters are available
from specialist outlets (see Optional
accessories).
❑ Use only original filters. The appliance
is then guaranteed to function perfectly.
Disposal of old activated carbon filters:
❑ Activated carbon filters do NOT contain
any harmful substances. They can
therefore be disposed of as householder
fuse.
