IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
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.
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.
WARNING
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:
a) You know you have a class ABC extinguisher,
and you already know how to operate it.
b) The fire is small and contained in the area where
it started.
c) The fire department is being called.
d) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

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 spe-
cialist retailers, from customer service or from the Online
