Need help?Do you have a question about the Bosch DWK67FN60 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document serves as a comprehensive user manual and installation guide for a Bosch extractor hood, covering various models including DWK67FN60, DWK67FN65, DWK87FN60, DWK87FN65, DWK67FN60B, DWK87FN60B, and DWK67FN20. It provides essential information for safe operation, maintenance, and installation, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the appliance.
The Bosch extractor hood is designed primarily for extracting cooking vapor in private households and enclosed domestic spaces, up to an altitude of 4000 meters above sea level. It can operate in two main modes: air extraction and air recirculation. In air extraction mode, the appliance cleans drawn-in air through grease filters and expels it to the exterior via a pipe system. For air recirculation mode, an additional odour filter is required to clean the air before returning it to the room. The appliance features a control panel for configuring all functions and monitoring its operating status, including switching the appliance on/off, selecting fan settings (1, 2, 3), engaging intensive mode, and controlling the lighting.
The extractor hood integrates with the Home Connect app, offering advanced functionalities. These include Intelligent Hood Control, which automatically adjusts fan settings based on cooking data from a compatible hob. Users can also customize performance profiles (noise-optimized or performance-optimized), set filter saturation indicators, and control the hood via the hob (Cooktop-based Hood Control). Additional Home Connect features include Fan Run-on to remove residual odours and dry the odour filter, Interval Ventilation for regular kitchen aeration, Voice Control compatibility (e.g., with Amazon Alexa), and the ability to adjust the colour temperature of the lighting from cold to warm.
The appliance is designed for user-friendly operation. To switch on, a simple press of the power button activates fan setting 2. Fan settings 1, 2, or 3 can be selected with a corresponding button press. For strong odours or vapours, intensive mode can be activated, which automatically reverts to fan setting 3 after approximately 6 minutes. The lighting can be operated independently of the ventilation system, with adjustable brightness by pressing and holding the light button.
Safety is paramount, and the manual emphasizes several precautions. Users are warned against operating the appliance without a grease filter and are advised to clean filters regularly to prevent fire hazards from fatty deposits. When using gas burners, cookware should always be placed on them to prevent heat damage to the hood. Operating multiple gas hobs simultaneously or large burners at highest flame for extended periods should be done with the highest fan setting. In air extraction mode, adequate fresh air supply in the room is crucial, especially when other room-air-dependent heat-producing appliances are in use, to prevent toxic gases from being drawn back into the living space. The manual specifies that the room pressure should not fall below 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) for safe operation in such scenarios.
The Home Connect app enhances the user experience by providing remote control and monitoring capabilities. Users can install the app on a mobile device, set up access, and connect the appliance to their home network. The app guides users through the login process and allows for software updates to optimize performance and security.
Regular cleaning and servicing are essential to maintain the appliance's efficiency and prolong its lifespan. The manual provides detailed instructions for cleaning various parts and surfaces. For general cleaning, it recommends using a damp sponge cloth with hot soapy water for painted surfaces, a soft cloth and glass cleaner for aluminium, and a soft cloth and glass cleaner for plastic and glass. Stainless steel surfaces should be cleaned in the direction of the finish using a sponge cloth and hot soapy water, followed by a thin layer of stainless steel cleaning product. Harsh, abrasive, or highly alcoholic cleaning agents, as well as hard scouring pads or sponges, should be avoided to prevent surface damage. Steam or high-pressure cleaners are explicitly prohibited due to the risk of electric shock.
Grease filters, which are crucial for grease removal, should be cleaned regularly, ideally every two months. They can be cleaned manually by soaking them in hot soapy water, using a special grease solvent for stubborn dirt, and scrubbing with a brush, then rinsing thoroughly and allowing them to drain. Alternatively, grease filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher at a temperature of no more than 70 °C, placed loosely to prevent damage. The manual provides clear steps for removing and fitting the grease filters, emphasizing caution to prevent them from falling and damaging the hob.
The control panel and magnetic mounting bracket should be cleaned with a damp sponge cloth and hot soapy water, then dried with a soft cloth. Before any cleaning, the appliance must be disconnected from the power supply by unplugging it or switching off the fuse in the fuse box, to prevent electric shock. If the appliance is controlled via the Home Connect app, it should be disconnected from the app during cleaning to avoid accidental operation and injury. The manual also advises against looking directly into switched-on LED lights for extended periods due to potential eye damage.
