Protecting the environment

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.
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging
in line with environmental requirements.

Saving energy

▯
When cooking, ensure that there is sufficient
supply air so that the extractor hood works
efficiently and quietly.
▯
Fan level adjust to the intensity of the cooking
fumes. Only use the intensive mode if necessary.
A lower fan level means lower energy
consumption.
▯
With intensive cooking fumes, select a higher
fan level early on. Cooking fumes that are
already distributed in the kitchen mean that the
extractor hood will have to be operated longer.
▯
Switch off the extractor hood when it is no
longer required.
▯
Switch off the lighting when it is no longer
required.
▯
Clean and change the filter at the specified
intervals in order to increase the effectiveness
of the ventilation and prevent a risk of fire.

Operating modes

You can use this appliance in the air extraction or the
recirculation mode.

Exhaust air mode

The air that is drawn in is cleaned by
the grease filters and conveyed to the
exterior by a pipe system.
Note: Ventilation may not exit through an already
operational smoke or exhaust chimney, nor a duct
used for ventilating furnace installation areas.
▯
If the ventilation is intended to pass through a
smoke or exhaust that is not in operation, the
responsible area heating inspector must give
approval.
▯
If the ventilation passes through an external wall,
use a telescope wall sleeve.

Recirculation

The aspirated air is cleaned by the grease
filters and an activated charcoal filter and
is returned to the kitchen.
Note: You must install an activated charcoal filter to bind odors in the recirculation mode. Refer to the
manual or ask your specialist dealer for details of the
various options for operating the appliance in the
recirculation mode. You can obtain the necessary
accessories from specialist dealers, from our after-
sales service or in the online shop.
