Bosch HCP50652UC, HCP56652UC - Wall Hood 36" Stainless Steel Manual

Operating Modes

You can use this appliance in the air extraction or the recirculation mode.

Exhaust air mode

The air that is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system.

Note: Ventilation may not exit through an already operational smoke or exhaust chimney, nor a duct used for ventilating furnace installation areas.

• If the ventilation is intended to pass through a smoke or exhaust that is not in operation, the responsible area heating inspector must give approval.
• If the ventilation passes through an external wall, use a telescope wall sleeve.

Circulating-air mode

The air that is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and an activated carbon filter and conveyed back into the kitchen.

Note: To bind odors in circulating-air mode, you must install an activated carbon filter. The different options for operating the appliance in circulating-air mode can be found in the brochure. Alternatively, ask your dealer. The required accessories are available for purchase from specialist retailers, from customer service or from the Online Shop.
The accessory numbers can be found at the end of the instructions for use.

Operating the Unit

For Better Results

• The blower should be turned on for about 5 minutes before cooking in order to establish air currents upward through the hood. Thus when heat, smoke, moisture, grease and cooking odors are produced, they will be carried outside instead of drifting into other rooms.
• Use the low speeds for normal use and the higher speeds for strong odors or fumes.
• Drafts across the range or cooktop will reduce the effectiveness of the hood. Such drafts should be prevented when possible.
• The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done where the only air currents are those created by the blower itself.
• Regular use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid.
• Use a rear burner when browning or pan frying meat.
• For optimal performance, the width of the hood should equal that of the cooktop or rangetop or exceed it by 3 inches on either side. Install these hoods only with Bosch blowers.

Home Connect

With Home Connect, the appliance is Wi-Fi-capable and can be remotely controlled using a mobile device (e.g. tablet PC, smartphone). Home Connect app offers additional functions which are a perfect complement to the networked appliance.
Home Connect does not work over Wi-Fi networks that require browser registration, i.e. a user name and password entered via a web browser. You should have a stable wireless network with good reception and access to the internet.
If the appliance is not connected to the WLAN network (home network), it functions in the same way as a typical hood with no network connection and can be operated as usual via the Touch Panel.

NOTE: Please ensure that you follow the safety instructions given at the beginning of this instruction manual and that these are also observed when operating the appliance via the Home Connect app and when away from home. Please also follow the instructions in the Home Connect app.

NOTE: Operation on the appliance itself always takes priority, and during this time it is not possible to operate the appliance using Home Connect App.

Cooktop-Hood Sync

You can connect this appliance to a matching cooktop (if the cooktop supports connection to the hood) and then control the functions of the hood via your cooktop.
There are various options for connecting the appliances:

Home Connect
Two appliances can be connected using the Home Connect app provided that both appliances are Home Connect compatible.
Refer to the Home Connect documents supplied for more information.

Connecting appliances directly
If the appliance is connected directly to a cooktop, it cannot be connected to your home network as well. The appliance will function in the same way as a hood that is not connected to the network and you can continue to operate it via the touch control panel.

Connecting appliances via your home network
If the appliances are connected to each other via your home network, both the hood controls on the cooktop and Home Connect can be used to operate the appliance.

Notes

• Make sure you follow the safety instructions in the instruction manual for your hood and that these are complied with even when operating the appliance via the hood controls on the cooktop.
• If the hood is being operated by means of the touch control panel on the hood itself, this mode of operation always has priority. It is not possible to use the hood controls on the cooktop during this time.

Setting up a connection
To set up the connection between the hood and the cooktop, the hood must be switched off and the cooktop must be switched on before you can connect the cooktop and hood.

Connecting directly
Ensure that the cooktop is switched on and is in search mode.
To do this, refer to the section entitled "Connecting to the hood" in the instruction manual for your cooktop.

Notes

• If your hood is connected directly to the cooktop, it cannot be connected to your home network as well and you will not be able to use Home Connect.
• The cooktop must not be connected to your home network. To break a connection, follow the instructions in the section entitled "Disconnecting from the network".

Press and hold the CONNECT button until it starts to flash.
The hood has been connected to the cooktop when the CONNECT button stops flashing and remains continuously lit.

Connecting via your home network
Follow the instructions in the section entitled "Connecting your hood to your home network (Wi-Fi).
Once the hood is connected to your home network, you can connect to the hob via the Home Connect app. To do this. follow the instructions on your mobile device.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-related construction.
• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

• Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:^a

• 
  SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may get burned.
• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
  1. You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
  2. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
  3. The fire department is being called.
  4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
