Description of functions
The following functions are available on
your ventilation hood, depending on the
model:
Recirculation mode
The recirculation mode requires a
recirculation kit and OdorFree Charcoal
Filter (available as optional accessories,
see "Technical Data" for more
information)
Vented mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
The air is drawn in and first cleaned by
the grease filters and then by an
OdorFree Charcoal Filter. The cleaned
air is then recirculated back into the

Non-return flap
A non-return flap in the ducting
prevents the exchange of inside and
outside air from occurring when the
ventilation hood is not in use.
The flap is closed when the ventilation
hood is turned off.
When the ventilation hood is turned on,
the non-return flap opens so that the
exhaust air can be transported outside
without any obstruction.
A non-return flap has been provided
with the hood in case your ducting
does not have one. It is inserted into
the outlet duct collar of the fan.

Operation (Automatic mode)
When Con@ctivity 2.0 is active, the
hood always operates in Automatic
mode (see "Activating Con@ctivity
2.0").
Reaction time
Changing the power setting on the
cooktop does not lead to an immediate
increase or decrease in cooking vapors.
For this reason, the hood reacts with a
slight delay.
See "Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0"
for information on manually operating
the hood.
Delays can also result from the fact that
the cooktop transmits the information
to the hood in intervals.
Cooking with Con@ctivity 2.0
(Automatic mode)
Turn on a burner to the desired power
setting.
The reaction time can vary from a few
seconds to a couple of minutes.
The hood lighting will come on.
After a few seconds, the fan will come
on, briefly operating at power level 2
before immediately switching to level 1.
The hood selects the fan level
automatically during cooking.
This level is determined by the total
output of the cooktop, i.e. the number
of burners in operation and the power
settings selected.
If you select a higher power setting
on the cooktop or switch on multiple
burners, the hood will switch to a
higher fan level.
If you select a lower power setting on
the cooktop or turn off a burner, the
hood will accordingly switch to a
lower fan level.

Operation (Automatic mode)
Cooking process
Turning off
If, for example, you switch on a
burner at the highest power setting to
heat cookware in preparation for
searing and then reduce the power
level after approx. 60 to 90 seconds,
a cooking process is recognized.
Turn off all burners.
Over the next few minutes, the
ventilation hood fan setting will
decrease one level at a time until the
hood eventually turns off.
This helps to neutralize any lingering
vapors and odors in the air.
The hood turns on automatically and,
after the cooktop power level has been
reduced, switches back to fan level 3,
where it remains for approx. 5 minutes.
– From the intensive setting IS, the fan
immediately switches to level 3.
After this, the fan level is once again
determined by the Con@ctivity function.
– If the fan is operating at level 3, it will
switch to level 2 after approx. 1
minute.
You can also manually select a
different fan level before then.
– From level 2, the fan switches to level
1 after 2 minutes.
– After 2 minutes at level 1, the fan
automatically turns off.
– After another 30 seconds, the lighting
turns off.
The cooking process is now finished.

on the grease filter hardens and makes
cleaning more difficult. Therefore, we
recommend cleaning the grease filters
once every 3-4 weeks.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
to clean the control buttons.
Special instructions for the glass
edge
By illuminating the grease filter symbol,
the filter saturation counter reminds
you to regularly clean the grease filters.
In addition to the general cleaning
options, the glass edge can also be
cleaned using a household glass
cleaner.
You can adjust the interval of the filter
saturation counter to match your
cooking habits (see "Operation").
Removing the grease filters
When handling a grease filter, be
careful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter

– When selecting an installation height,
always take the user height into
consideration. Users should have
ample space to work comfortably on
the cooktop and reach the ventilation
hood controls with ease.
– Please note that the greater the
distance from the cooktop, the less
effective the hood is at drawing in the
cooking vapors.
– To achieve optimal vapor extraction,
make sure that the hood covers the
cooktop. The hood should be
positioned centrally over the
cooktop, not to the side or rear.
– The cooktop should be no wider than
the hood. Preferably, it should be
narrower.

Installation
Make a cutting line 3" (76 mm) above
and 3" (76 mm) below the outline of
the retaining plate.
Plywood backing
The majority of the weight of the
installed ventilation system will be
supported by the lower retaining
plate. It must be firmly attached to
the stud framing behind the drywall.
If studs are not available in the
required locations, a plywood
backing (min. ½" (13 mm) thick)
spanning at least two studs must be
installed.
Failure to adequately support the
weight as stated may result in the
ventilation system falling off the wall,
causing personal injury and property
damage.
Find the studs to the left and right
of the mounting location by tapping
the wall or using a stud finder.
Mark a vertical cutting line along the
center of each stud.
CAUTION: When cutting or drilling
into the wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
Remove the drywall between the
cutting lines and replace it with
plywood of a matching thickness
(min. ½" (13 mm) thick). Tape the
joints and refinish the wall.
If plywood backing is not needed,
proceed to the included "Installation
diagram".

Exhaust duct
– Make sure that all connections are
secure and airtight.
WARNING: Danger of toxic fumes.
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled.
To reduce the risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, the exhaust
gases extracted by the hood should
be vented outside of the building
only.
Remember that any constriction of
the airflow will reduce extraction
performance and increase operating
noise.
If the exhaust duct is to be routed
through an outside wall, we
recommend installing a telescopic
wall vent or a rooftop vent (available
as an optional accessory).
Do not vent exhaust air into spaces
within walls or ceilings or in attics,
crawl spaces or garages.
To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.
Please read and follow the
"IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk
of personal injury. Follow all local
building codes when installing the
hood.
If the exhaust air is to be conducted
into a vent flue, the intake piece must
be aligned with the flow direction of
the flue.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
duct hoses made from non-
flammable materials for exhaust
ductwork.
When installing the exhaust duct
horizontally, you must slope it away
from the source by at least 1 cm per
meter (³/8" per 3 ¹/4"). This ensures
that condensate cannot drain back
into the ventilation hood.
To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise
levels, please note the following:
– The diameter of the exhaust duct
should not be less than 6" (150 mm).
– If flat exhaust ducts are used, the
cross section should not be smaller
than that of the exhaust connector.
If the exhaust duct is to be routed
through rooms, ceiling space etc., the
temperatures in these different areas
may differ greatly, which means that
the problem of condensation will
need to be addressed. The exhaust
duct will need to be insulated.
– The exhaust duct should be as short
and straight as possible.
– If elbows are needed, make sure they
have a large radius.
– The exhaust duct itself must not be
kinked or compressed.
