Gas hobs / Gas cookers
ṇ Do not use all the gas hotplates
simultaneously for a prolonged period
(max. 15 minutes) at maximum thermal
load, otherwise there is a risk of burns if
the housing surfaces are touched or a risk
of damage to the extractor hood. If the
extractor hood is situated over a gas hob,
operate the hood at maximum setting if
three or more gas hotplates are operated
simultaneously.
Exhaust-air mode
q
The ventilator fan draws the vapours
produced during cooking into the
extractor hood, where they pass
through the grease filter and out into the
open air.
q
The grease filter absorbs the grease
contained in the vapours produced
during cooking.
q
The kitchen is kept almost totally free
from grease and odours.
Circulating-air mode
q An activated carbon filter must be fitted
for this operating mode (see Filters and
maintenance).
Activated carbon filters can be
purchased from specialist outlets
(see Optional accessories on the last
page).
q
The ventilator fan draws the vapours
produced during cooking into the
extractor hood, where they pass
through the grease filter and the activa-
ted carbon filter before the clean air is
discharged back into the kitchen.
q
The grease filter absorbs the grease
contained in the vapours produced
during cooking.
q
The activated carbon filter absorbs any
odorous substances.
