[. . . ] A risk of fire can be prevented by cleaning the grease filters regularly and changing the activated-carbon filter in good time. Never operate the extractor hood without grease filters. 7 Operating modes The extractor hood can be used in exhaust air and circulating air mode. Exhaust-air mode Appliance dimensions Exhaust air The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system. Circulating-air mode Appliance dimensions Circulating air The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and an activated carbon filter and conveyed back into the kitchen. An activated carbon filter must be installed to bind odours in circulating-air mode (see "Removing and installing the grease filters"). The complete installation set as well as the replacement filters are available from specialist outlets, customer service or the Online Shop. The accessory number can be found at the end of the operating instructions. 8 Operation The description of the operation applies to several appliance models. It is possible that individual features are described which do not apply to your appliance. ­ Clean the appliance surfaces and controls with a soft, damp cloth, washing-up liquid or a mild window cleaner only. ­ Do not scrape off dried dirt, but moisten with a damp cloth. ­ Clean carefully in the area of the controls to avoid liquid from getting into the electronics.
