Environmental protection

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.
Saving energy
▯
During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient
supply of air so that the extractor hood can work
efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
▯
Adjust the fan speed to the intensity of the cooking
fumes. Only use intensive mode where this is
required. A lower fan speed means that less energy
is consumed.
▯
If there are intensive cooking fumes, select a higher
fan speed in good time. If cooking fumes have
already spread in the kitchen, the extractor hood
must be operated for longer.
▯
Switch off the extractor hood if you no longer
require it.
▯
Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
▯
Clean and, if required, replace the filter at regular
intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of
the ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.

Operating modes

This appliance can be used in exhaust-air mode or
circulating-air mode.
Exhaust air mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by
the grease filters and conveyed to the
exterior by a pipe system.
Note: The exhaust air must not be conveyed into a
functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue or into a shaft
which is used to ventilate installation rooms which
contain heat-producing appliances.
▯
Before conveying the exhaust air into a non-
functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, obtain the
consent of the heating engineer responsible.
▯
If the exhaust air is conveyed through the outer wall,
a telescopic wall box should be used.
Air recirculation
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by
the grease filters and an activated carbon
filter, and is conveyed back into the
kitchen.
Note: To bind odours in air recirculation mode, you
must install an activated carbon filter. The different
options for operating the appliance in air recirculation
mode can be found in the brochure. Alternatively, ask
your dealer. The required accessories are available from
specialist retailers, from customer service or from the
Online Shop.
