Fan unit

 Hob ventilation units operate with a

separate fan. Fan modules can be built into kitchen

furniture, or installed in another room (in a pantry,

cellar or loft) or outside (in a wall or roof). All the

functions are controlled via a connection cable, just

as with an integral fan.

Grease filter saturation indicator

 For ease of hood

maintenance. A blinking light on the control panel

acts as a reminder that the grease filter is due for

cleaning. Soiled filters are less effective and increase

noise levels in the hood.

Hob extractor

 A very interesting and effective alter-

native to conventional wall-mounted or, island hoods.

The ventilation is integrated directly into the hob and

sucks up the cooking steam before it can rise, mix

with the air in the room and get into the cook's

clothing. The headroom above the hob remains free

for communicating across the hob or looking into all

the saucepans. And if you want clean lines in your

kitchen, it is definitely the most unobtrusive option.

The design of Gaggenau hob ventilation units is

adapted directly from our Vario appliance series 200

and 400. They are available with or without automatic

arm positioning and flaps. All hob ventilation units

operate with separate fan modules, so a suitable

solution can be found for any configuration.

Intensive mode

 Three power settings and an addi-

tional intensive mode can be activated via individual

control buttons (rotary knobs on the AH 600 and the

AH 360). The intensive mode automatically switches

back to the previously selected setting after three,

five or ten minutes’ running, depending on the mod-

el – which is very practical, especially after roasting

meat.

Interval ventilation

 When this feature is activated,

the extractor hood automatically switches back to

the pre-selected power setting for five minutes

during each hour, allowing the room to be regularly

supplied with fresh air, even when vacated for long

periods. It is also ideal when the room needs plenty

of ventilation overnight, for example after a big party

in the kitchen.

Run-on function

 This function allows you to set the

ventilation to run on for a further ten minutes after

use on any setting, before automatically switching

itself off. This way, the air is cleaned especially

thoroughly after cooking.

Sealing flaps

 In the hob ventilation for the 400 Series,

the suction opening is covered when not in use,

to improve the appearance of the hob. When the

ventilation is switched off, the flaps remain open for

a few seconds to prevent sudden closing and the

unpleasant noise of the fan shutting down.

Soft-light

 The soft-light illumination of the cooking

zones automatically goes on and off gradually, and

can be dimmed manually from bright illumination of

the cooking zones to atmospheric background light-

ing.

Stainless steel grease filter

 With Gaggenau extractor

hoods, the air which is saturated with grease and

odour particles first passes through a grease filter.

This prevents the inside of the hood and the exhaust

air ducts from becoming coated. The stainless steel

filter can be easily removed and cleaned in the

dishwasher.
