installation
An extractor hood should be installed in accordance with
national and local regulations. The underside of the extractor
hood should be a minimum of:
- 65 cm in the case of a ceramic and induction hob;
- 70 cm in the case of a gas hob;
- 75 cm in the case of a gas hob with wok burner.
The appliance should be connected by a registered fitter.
Damage arising from incorrect connection or incorrect fitting
is not covered by the guarantee.
NB:
If an extractor hood and a heat source (for example, gas-,
oil- or coal-fired cookers) which take air from the same room
are in use at the same time, there is a possibility that the
extractor hood will cause an underpressure in that room. The
maximum permitted underpressure is 4 Pa, so that no
combustion gases from the heat source can find their way
back into the room. For this reason, an air supply is required -
to provide a constant supply of fresh air to the room.
The extractor hood's plug should be accessible after fitting
or the extractor hood should be isolated by a bipolar switch
with 3 mm plug pins.
If the connection cable is damaged, it should be replaced by
the service department of the manufacturer or similarly
qualified persons in order to prevent dangerous situations
from arising.
maintenance
Remove the filters as follows: switch the fan and the
lighting off.
Take hold of the grease filter by the handle and press in the
lock (1). Tilt the front of the filter downwards (2). You can
now draw the filter towards you out of the hood.
The filter may only be fitted in one way. Be careful about the
correct position of the filter (see illustration). Hold the filter in
such a way that the covered part of the top is in a mid-rear
position. This can be recognised on the underside by the
pattern with the smaller holes.
Now fit the filter by first pressing the rear of the filter into the
holder. Keep the lock in the handle pressed and, at the same
time, tilt the front upwards until it won’t go any further. Then
release the lock. The filter is now once again in place.
You can clean the grease filters in the dishwasher or in
soapy water made with washing-up liquid. Allow the filter to
drain well – through the holes in the side – before putting it
back.
If the carbon filters are saturated (poor functioning), a
cleaning set can be ordered (ACC921). To place an order,
please phone the consumer service department (for
telephone numbers, please refer to the accompanying
guarantee booklet).
