[. . . ] Operating and installation instructions Fig. 1 ELECTRO 2 Instructions for use: Operating modes Exhaust-air mode: The extractor-hood fan extracts the kitchen vapours and conveys them through the grease filter into the atmosphere. The grease filter absorbs the solid particles in the kitchen vapours. The kitchen is kept almost free of grease and odours. [. . . ] Pull the grease filter forward carefully. At the same time take hold of the underside of the grease filter with your other hand. In doing so, keep the grease filter level. 2. Insert the clean filter back into the hood. Press the button 0. 7 Filters and maintenance Activated carbon filter: For neutralizing odours in recirculating mode. Caution: As the filter becomes more and more saturated with grease, there is an increased risk of fire and the function of the extractor hood may be impaired. Important: Change the activated carbon filter promptly to prevent the risk of fire from the accumulation of heat when deep-fat frying or roasting. Saturation indicator: ã When the activated carbon filter reaches saturation point, an acoustic signal is sounded for 6 seconds after the fan has switched off, and a ã appears in the display. The activated carbon filter should be replaced straight away. Replacing the activated carbon filter: During normal operation (1 to 2 hours per day) the activated carbon filters should be replaced approximately 1 x year. A replacement filter can be obtained from any authorized dealer (see optional accessories). By doing so you will obtain maximum performance from your extractor hood. Disposing of the old activated carbon filter: There are no pollutants in the activated carbon filters. They can therefore be disposed of as part of your normal domestic refuse. Insert the metal grease filters (see "Removing and inserting the metal grease filters"). Installation and removal: Warning: The halogen bulbs must be switched off and cool. Remove the metal filter (see "Removing and inserting the metal grease filter"). Insert the activated carbon filter. 8 Cleaning and care Isolate the extractor hood by pulling out the mains plug or switching off the fuse. Do not clean the extractor hood with abrasive sponges or with cleaning agents which contain sand, soda, acid or chlorine! Clean the extractor hood with a hot soap solution or a mild window cleaner. Do not scrape off dried-on dirt but wipe off with a damp cloth. When cleaning the grease filters, remove grease deposits from accessible parts of the housing. [. . . ] Use the template to mark the points on the wall where the screws will be mounted. In order to make it easier to hook the hood onto the screws, draw the outline of the area where the hood will be attached. Ensure that the minimum distance between the hob and the extractor hood is maintained ­ 550 mm for an electric hob and 650 mm for a gas hob. The bottom edge of the template equates to the lower edge of the extractor hood. [. . . ]
