Operation (Automatic mode)

18

When Con@ctivity 2.0 is active, thehood always operates in Automaticmode (see "Activating [email protected]").

See "Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0"for information on manually operatingthe hood.

Cooking with Con@ctivity 2.0(Automatic mode) Turn on a burner to the desired power

setting.

The hood lighting will come on.

After a few seconds, the fan will comeon, briefly operating at power level 2before immediately switching to level 1.

The hood selects the fan levelautomatically during cooking.

This level is determined by the totaloutput of the cooktop, i.e. the numberof burners in operation and the powersettings selected.

If you select a higher power settingon the cooktop or switch on multipleburners, the hood will switch to ahigher fan level.

If you select a lower power setting onthe cooktop or turn off a burner, thehood will accordingly switch to alower fan level.

Examples for fan levels 1 to 4

Reaction timeChanging the power setting on thecooktop does not lead to an immediateincrease or decrease in cooking vapors.For this reason, the hood reacts with aslight delay.

Delays can also result from the fact thatthe cooktop transmits the informationto the hood in intervals.

The reaction time can vary from a fewseconds to a couple of minutes.


19

Cooking process If, for example, you switch on a

burner at the highest power setting toheat cookware in preparation forsearing and then reduce the powerlevel after approx. 60 to 90 seconds*,a cooking process is recognized.

The hood turns on automatically and,after the cooktop power level has beenreduced, switches back to fan level 3,where it remains for approx. 5 minutes.

After this, the fan level is once againdetermined by the Con@ctivity function.

You can also manually select adifferent fan level before then.

Turning off Turn off all burners.

Over the next few minutes, theventilation hood fan setting willdecrease one level at a time until thehood eventually turns off.

This helps to neutralize any lingeringvapors and odors in the air.

– From the intensive setting IS, the fanimmediately switches to level 3.

– If the fan is operating at level 3, it willswitch to level 2 after approx. 1minute.

– From level 2, the fan switches to level1 after 2 minutes.

– After 2 minutes at level 1, the fanautomatically turns off.

– After another 30 seconds, the lightingturns off.

The cooking process is now finished.

Installation recommendations– We also recommend a distance of at

least 25 1/2" (650 mm) above electriccooktops to provide more workspaceand easier cooking under the hood.

– When selecting an installation height,always take the user height intoconsideration. Users should haveample space to work comfortably onthe cooktop and reach the ventilationhood controls with ease.

– Please note that the greater thedistance from the cooktop, the lesseffective the hood is at drawing in thecooking vapors.

– To achieve optimal vapor extraction,make sure that the hood covers thecooktop. The hood should bepositioned centrally over thecooktop, not to the side or rear.

– The cooktop should be no wider thanthe hood. Preferably, it should benarrower.

– The mounting area must be easilyaccessible. The ventilation hoodshould be easy to reach anddisassemble in case a service call isnecessary. This should be taken intoconsideration when planning theposition of cupboards, shelves,ceilings or decorative elements in thevicinity of the ventilation hood.

Structural support

The hood must be attached to rigidstructural framing that is supportedin its entirety by the ceiling joists, orto the ceiling joists directly. Do notattach the plate directly to the ceilingwith anchors, toggle bolts, etc.

Removing the protective filmThe housing components are coveredby a protective film to prevent themfrom becoming damaged duringtransport.

Please remove this film beforeinstalling the housing components. Itcan be peeled off easily without anyadditional tools.

Place the four plugs in the holes andscrew in the four screws so that theyprotrude by approx. 1 3/16" (30 mm).

Installation

37

The spacer frame can be installedbetween the chimney and the ceiling.This creates a shadow which gives theillusion of a gap between the ceilingand the chimney. This is useful if theceiling is not level or is uneven. Thehood is aligned vertically with thespacers supplied. Visual irregularitiesbetween the chimney and the ceilingare then concealed by the shadow.

If you wish to install the hood with thespacer frame, remove the four insertsfrom the fixing holes.

Exhaust duct

46

WARNING: Danger of toxic fumes.Gas cooking appliances releasecarbon monoxide that can beharmful or fatal if inhaled.To reduce the risk of fire and toproperly exhaust air, the exhaustgases extracted by the hood shouldbe vented outside of the buildingonly.Do not vent exhaust air into spaceswithin walls or ceilings or in attics,crawl spaces or garages.To reduce the risk of fire, only usemetal ductwork.Please read and follow the"IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the riskof personal injury. Follow all localbuilding codes when installing thehood.

Only use smooth pipes or flexibleduct hoses made from non-flammable materials for exhaustductwork.

To achieve the greatest possible airextraction with the lowest noiselevels, please note the following:

– The diameter of the exhaust ductshould not be less than 6" (150 mm).

– If flat exhaust ducts are used, thecross section should not be smallerthan that of the exhaust connector.

– The exhaust duct should be as shortand straight as possible.

– If elbows are needed, make sure theyhave a large radius.

– The exhaust duct itself must not bekinked or compressed.

– Make sure that all connections aresecure and airtight.

Remember that any constriction ofthe airflow will reduce extractionperformance and increase operatingnoise.

If the exhaust duct is to be routedthrough an outside wall, werecommend installing a telescopicwall vent or a rooftop vent (availableas an optional accessory).

If the exhaust air is to be conductedinto a vent flue, the intake piece mustbe aligned with the flow direction ofthe flue.

When installing the exhaust ducthorizontally, you must slope it awayfrom the source by at least 1 cm permeter (3/8" per 3 1/4'). This ensuresthat condensate cannot drain backinto the ventilation hood.

If the exhaust duct is to be routedthrough rooms, ceiling space etc., thetemperatures in these different areasmay differ greatly, which means thatthe problem of condensation willneed to be addressed. The exhaustduct will need to be insulated.

Exhaust duct

47

Condensate trap

In addition to insulating the exhaustduct, we recommend installing acondensate trap to collect andevaporate any condensate which mightaccumulate.Condensate traps are available forexhaust ducts with a diameter of 5"(125 mm) or 6" (150 mm).

When installing a condensate trap,make sure that it is positionedvertically and, if possible, directlyabove the hood outlet duct collar.The arrow on the housing indicatesthe direction of airflow.
