Installation notes

Suitable for ducted or recirculated extraction in four main options: unducted, partly and fully ducted recirculation, or ducted extraction.
Installation accessories for unducted recirculation, including four Clean Air Plus odour filters and a telescopic slider element, are included and support worktop depths ≥60 cm.
Recommended accessory kits: HZ9VDKR1 or HZ9VDKR0 for partly‑ducted recirculation; HZ9VDKE1 as starter kit for ducted extraction.
The appliance can be installed in island or wall‑oriented configurations.
Maximum immersion depth below the worktop surface is 223 mm.
The appliance must be freely accessible from below for access to the lower liquid safety collector.
No false floor is required; drawers or shelves in the base unit must be removable.
The base unit back panel can remain with a cut‑out for the air outlet; position and size are provided in installation instructions.
Unducted recirculation requires a vertical aperture of at least 25 mm behind the furniture back panel (50 mm suggested for ideal performance).
For partly ducted and unducted recirculation, a return‑flow aperture of ≥400 cm² is required in the plinth area.
The air outlet on the back can be accessed directly with a male flat duct element (DN 150).
The blower supports ducting up to 8 m with three 90° bends while maintaining sufficient performance.
When used with ducted extraction and a chimney‑vented fireplace, the power supply line requires a suitable safety switch (not required for recirculation).
In ducted extraction, a one‑way flap/backflow trap with max. 65 Pa opening pressure should be installed.
Worktop bearing capacity and stability must support an overall appliance weight stated as 26 kg; worktop manufacturer specifications should be observed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the hob provide both ducted and recirculation extraction options?

Yes. The integrated ventilation system is suitable for ducted or recirculated extraction and supports unducted, partly and fully ducted recirculation, as well as ducted extraction. Accessories for unducted recirculation are included, and additional kits are available for other configurations.

How easy is it to clean the downdraft extractor and filters?

The grease filter and liquid collector unit can be removed with one hand using the glass ceramics handle. The large‑scale stainless‑steel grease filters, liquid collector and liquid safety collector are all heat resistant and fully dishwasher safe, helping to minimise cleaning effort.

What safety features are included on the ED851HQ26E hob?

Safety features include 2‑stage residual heat indicators, a control panel lock, a main on/off switch and automatic safety switch‑off if the hob is not used for a preset time. The product and its accessories also meet specified flame and flammability test standards.

Can I control or monitor the hob remotely?

Yes. With a connected Home Connect account, you can enable remote monitoring via the Home Connect app, check whether the hob is switched off, access recipes, use Dish assistant and update the appliance software. The Favourite Button and MyButton also integrate selected smart functions directly on the hob.

What is the capacity of the liquid collection system beneath the air intake?

The upper liquid collector unit holds 200 ml for standard spillages or condensate and is supported by a powerful drainage system. A separate liquid safety collector underneath adds 700 ml capacity, giving a total capturing capacity of 900 ml. Both collectors are dishwasher safe.
