or your safety

Damaged appliances must not be operated.

– The appliance must only be connected by an

authorised specialist

, paying attention to 

the relevant regulations of the power supply
companies and the regional construction
regulations. 

Also observe the assembly instructions!

Connecting cables must not come into contact
with hot cooking surfaces.

– Do not operate the extractor hood without

inserted lamps.

– Never operate the appliance without a grease

filter.

– Hazardous or explosive substances and vapours

must not be extracted!

– The user is responsible for expert use and the

perfect condition of the appliance.

– Only operate the appliance under supervision.

Caution!

Over

-greased filters are a fire risk!

Only ever deep-fry under the extractor under
constant supervision. Be sure to clean the
grease filter on a regular basis and change the
activated charcoal filter. 

Fire risk!

Do not flambé meals under the

extractor hood!

– Operation of the extractor hood above a hearth

for solid fuels, which poses a fire risk (e.g. sparks)
is only permitted, if the hearth possesses a

closed and fixed lid

. The current local

regulations must be obeyed. This does not apply
to gas hobs and gas cookers.

– Hobs may only be used under the extractor hood

when pots and pans are placed on them!

– When using more than 3 gas-operated rings at

the same time, please operate the extractor
hood at level 2 or higher. This prevents a build-
up of heat in the appliance.

– For safety reasons, do not place any heavy

objects on the top of the appliance.

– Do not clean the appliance with a steam

cleaning apparatus or with water pressure
because this poses a 

risk of short-circuits

.

– Isolate the appliance from the mains during

every maintenance operation. To do this, remove
the mains plug or actuate the corresponding
fuse.
If the mains plug is not accessible, the appliance
must be switched off at fuse point.

– Repairs must be carried out by authorised

specialists, thus ensuring electrical safety.

– No warranty claims can be lodged in the event

of damage caused by failure to observe these
instructions.

– Adequate incoming air must be ensured if a

wood, coal, gas or oil heater or an open hearth is
operated in the same room as the one in which
the hood is installed.

– Safe operation is possible whenever the partial

vacuum in the place where the firing equipment
is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved whenever the air needed
for combustion is able to enter through openings
that cannot be sealed, for example in doors,
windows, incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or
other technical means.

– If the appliance is to be operated only with the

window open (to ensure adequate incoming air),
you can use the 

window switch

.

A switch (normally open) is fitted on the window.
On the appliance, this switch is connected to the
window switch terminal on the main electronics.
The appliance can now only be operated when
the window is open. 

Important:

the window switch must only be

connected by an authorised specialist.
Note: the light function works without restriction.

– After a power failure, the extactor will not go on

again automatically. You can recommence
operation by turning a knob or by pressing any
key.
