User Restrictions

This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above, and by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, if supervised or instructed on safe use and understand the resulting hazards. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children unless they are 15 years or older and supervised. Keep children younger than 8 years away from the appliance and its power cord.

Safe Use

WARNING – Fire Hazard! Grease deposits in the grease filters can ignite. Never operate the appliance without grease filters. Clean the grease filters regularly. Never work with open flames near the appliance (e.g., flambéing). Install the appliance near a solid fuel fire (e.g., wood or coal) only if the fire has a closed, non-removable cover and no sparks can escape. Hot oil and fat ignite quickly. Always supervise hot oil and fat.

Never extinguish burning oil or fat with water. Switch off the hob. Carefully smother flames with a lid, fire blanket, or similar, and allow to cool. Gas cookers without cookware generate high heat during operation. A ventilation appliance installed above them can be damaged or catch fire. Always operate gas cookers with cookware on them. When operating multiple gas cookers simultaneously, high heat is generated. Operate gas cookers only with cookware on them. Set the fan to the highest speed. Never operate two gas burners with the largest flame for longer than 15 minutes. Two gas burners are equivalent to a large burner. Never operate a large burner with more than 5 kW with the largest flame for longer than 15 minutes, e.g., a wok. Grease deposits in the grease filters can ignite. Clean the grease filters regularly.

WARNING – Suffocation Hazard! Children can pull packaging material over their heads or wrap themselves in it and suffocate. Keep packaging material away from children. Do not let children play with packaging material. Children can inhale or swallow small parts and suffocate. Keep small parts away from children. Do not let children play with small parts.

WARNING – Poison Hazard! Recirculated combustion gases can lead to poisoning. Appliances that draw air from the room (e.g., gas, oil, wood, or coal-fired heaters, instantaneous water heaters, water heaters) draw combustion air from the installation room and discharge exhaust gases through an exhaust system (e.g., chimney) to the outside. When a range hood is operated simultaneously, room air is drawn from the kitchen and adjacent rooms. Insufficient air supply creates negative pressure. Toxic gases from the chimney or exhaust duct can be drawn back into the living areas. Always ensure adequate air supply when using the appliance in exhaust air mode simultaneously with a room-air-dependent fire. Safe operation is only possible if the negative pressure in the installation room of the fire does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved by providing non-closable openings, e.g., in doors, windows, in conjunction with a wall duct for air intake/exhaust, or by other technical measures that allow the combustion air to flow in. A wall duct for air intake/exhaust alone does not guarantee compliance with the limit value. Consult your local chimney sweep for advice on the entire ventilation system of the house and for suitable ventilation measures. If the appliance is used exclusively in recirculation mode, operation is unrestricted. The use of a gas hob generates heat, moisture, and combustion products in the installation room. Switch on the range hood when operating a gas hob.

WARNING – Burn Hazard! Accessible parts become hot during operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children away. The appliance becomes hot during operation. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.

WARNING – Injury Hazard! Components inside the appliance may have sharp edges. Clean the appliance interior carefully. Objects placed on the appliance can fall off. Do not place objects on the appliance.

If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by trained specialist personnel. Penetrating moisture can cause an electric shock. Before cleaning, unplug the appliance or switch off the fuse in the fuse box. Do not use a steam cleaner or high-pressure cleaner to clean the appliance. Penetrating moisture can cause an electric shock. Do not use wet sponge cloths.

WARNING – Explosion Hazard! Highly alkaline or highly acidic cleaning agents in contact with aluminum parts in the dishwasher can cause explosions. Never use highly alkaline or highly acidic cleaning agents. In particular, do not use cleaning agents from the commercial or industrial sector in conjunction with aluminum parts, such as grease filters of range hoods.

CAUTION: Condensation can lead to corrosion damage. Switch on the appliance during cooking to prevent condensation. If moisture penetrates the controls, damage may occur. Never clean the controls with a wet cloth. Incorrect cleaning damages surfaces. Observe cleaning instructions. Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents. Clean stainless steel surfaces only in the direction of the grain. Do not clean controls with stainless steel cleaner. Backflowing condensation can damage the appliance. The exhaust duct must be installed with a gradient of at least 1° from the appliance. If design elements are stressed incorrectly, they can break off. Do not pull on design elements.

Environmental Protection and Saving Energy

Disposing of Packaging

Packaging materials are environmentally compatible and recyclable. Dispose of individual components separately according to type.

Saving Energy

By following these tips, your appliance will consume less electricity. Adjust the fan speed to the intensity of cooking fumes. A lower fan speed means lower energy consumption. Use the intensive setting only when needed. For intense cooking fumes, select a higher fan speed early on. This reduces the spread of odors in the room. Switch off the lighting when it is no longer needed. When the lighting is switched off, it consumes no energy. Clean or replace filters at the specified intervals. This maintains filter effectiveness. Place a lid on pots. This reduces cooking fumes and condensation. Use additional functions only when needed. Switching off additional functions reduces energy consumption. Product information according to (EU) 65/2014 and (EU) 66/2014 can be found below the energy label and on the product page of your appliance on the Internet.

Operating Modes

You can use your appliance in exhaust air mode or recirculation mode.

Exhaust Air Mode

The drawn-in air is cleaned by the grease filters and expelled outdoors through a duct system. The air must not be discharged into a chimney used for exhaust gases from appliances that burn gas or other fuels (this does not apply to recirculation appliances). If the exhaust air is to be routed into a non-operational smoke or exhaust chimney, the consent of the responsible chimney sweep must be obtained. If the exhaust air is routed through the external wall, a telescopic wall duct should be used.

Recirculation Mode

The drawn-in air is cleaned by the grease filters and an odor filter and returned to the room. To neutralize odors in recirculation mode, you must install an odor filter. For information on the different ways to operate the appliance in recirculation mode, refer to our catalog or ask your dealer. The necessary accessories are available from specialist dealers, customer service, or the online shop. See "Accessories", page 14.

Safe Installation

Observe these safety instructions when installing the appliance.

WARNING – Poison Hazard! Recirculated combustion gases can lead to poisoning. Appliances that draw air from the room (e.g., gas, oil, wood, or coal-fired heaters, instantaneous water heaters, water heaters) draw combustion air from the installation room and discharge exhaust gases through an exhaust system (e.g., chimney) to the outside. When a range hood is operated simultaneously, room air is drawn from the kitchen and adjacent rooms. Insufficient air supply creates negative pressure. Toxic gases from the chimney or exhaust duct can be drawn back into the living areas. Always ensure adequate air supply when using the appliance in exhaust air mode simultaneously with a room-air-dependent fire. Safe operation is only possible if the negative pressure in the installation room of the fire does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved by providing non-closable openings, e.g., in doors, windows, in conjunction with a wall duct for air intake/exhaust, or by other technical measures that allow the combustion air to flow in. A wall duct for air intake/exhaust alone does not guarantee compliance with the limit value. Consult your local chimney sweep for advice on the entire ventilation system of the house and for suitable ventilation measures. If the appliance is used exclusively in recirculation mode, operation is unrestricted. Recirculated combustion gases can lead to poisoning. If a range hood is installed with a room-air-dependent fire, the power supply of the range hood must be equipped with a suitable safety switch. Recirculated combustion gases can lead to poisoning. Do not discharge exhaust air into a chimney or exhaust duct that is in operation. Do not discharge exhaust air into a shaft used for ventilating rooms of fire appliances. If the exhaust air is to be routed into a non-operational smoke or exhaust chimney, the consent of the responsible chimney sweep must be obtained.

WARNING – Suffocation Hazard! Children can pull packaging material over their heads or wrap themselves in it and suffocate. Keep packaging material away from children. Do not let children play with packaging material.

WARNING – Fire Hazard! Grease deposits in the grease filters can ignite. Never work with open flames near the appliance (e.g., flambéing). Install the appliance near a solid fuel fire (e.g., wood or coal) only if the fire has a closed, non-removable cover and no sparks can escape. The specified safety clearances must be observed to prevent heat buildup. Observe the specifications for your cooking appliances. If the installation instructions for the cooking appliances specify a different clearance, always observe the larger clearance. If gas and electric hobs are operated together, the largest specified clearance applies.

WARNING – Injury Hazard! Components inside the appliance may have sharp edges. Wear protective gloves. If the appliance is not properly secured, it can fall. All fastening elements must be securely mounted. Risk of injury from glass splinters. Protect the filter cover from impacts. Do not let the filter cover fall. Wear safety goggles during installation.
