Description of functions The following functions are available on your ventilation hood, depending on the model: Extraction mode (requires DAG 600 internal blower as optional accessory) The cooking vapors are drawn in by the ventilation system. The air is then passed via the edge extraction panel through the grease filters, cleaned and then directed outside.
Operation Extending/retracting the canopy, switching the blower on/off Danger of crushing injuries! Do not reach into the motion range of the canopy while it is extending/ retracting. Switch the blower on as soon as you start cooking. This is to ensure that vapors are captured right from the start. Touch the On/Off control until all symbols are lit up. The canopy comes up. The blower switches on at power level 2, the cooktop lighting switches on at 70% brightness.
Energy-saving tips This hood operates in a very efficient and energy-saving manner. The following will help you to save even more energy when using it: – Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the kitchen when cooking. If there is insufficient air flow during extraction mode, the hood cannot operate efficiently, causing increased operating noise levels. – Always cook with the lowest possible setting.
Cleaning and care WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: Before cleaning or servicing the hood, disconnect it from the power supply, see “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”. Stainless steel housing General information The surfaces and control buttons are susceptible to scratching and chipping. Observe the following cleaning instructions.
Cleaning and care Grease filters and edge extraction panel Removing the panel and grease filters Risk of fire! Oversaturated grease filters are a fire hazard. Clean the grease filters at regular intervals. The edge extraction panel and the reusable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen vapors, preventing soiling of the hood. The grease filters and the panel must be cleaned at regular intervals.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the panel Follow the instructions under “Stainless steel housing.” The panel is not suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher. Depending on the detergent used, cleaning the filters in a dishwasher may cause the inside filter surfaces to become discolored. However, this will not affect the functioning of the grease filters in any way. Cleaning the grease filters by hand After cleaning Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and dish soap.
