1.4 Safe use
WARNING ‒ Risk of suffocation!
Children may breathe in or swallow small
parts, causing them to suffocate.
▶
Keep small parts away from children.
▶
Do not let children play with small parts.
Children may put packaging material over
their heads or wrap themselves up in it and
suffocate.
▶
Keep packaging material away from chil-
dren.
▶
Do not let children play with packaging ma-
terial.
WARNING ‒ Risk of poisoning!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases being
drawn back in. Room-air-dependent heat-pro-
ducing appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-
operated heaters, continuous flow heaters or
water heaters) obtain combustion air from the
room in which they are installed and dis-
charge the exhaust gases into the open
through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chim-
ney). With the extractor hood switched on, air
is extracted from the kitchen and the adjacent
rooms. Without an adequate supply of air, the
air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure.
Toxic gases from the flue or the extraction
shaft are sucked back into the living space.
▶
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the
room if the appliance is being operated in
exhaust air mode at the same time as a
room-air-dependent heat-producing appli-
ance is being operated.
▶
It is only possible to safely operate the ap-
pliance if the pressure in the room in which
the heating appliance is installed does not
drop more than 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) below at-
mospheric pressure. 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 by
other technical means. An incoming/ex-
haust air wall box alone does not ensure
compliance with the limit.
▶
In any case, consult your responsible chim-
ney sweep. They are able to assess the
house's entire ventilation setup and will
suggest the suitable ventilation measures
to you.
▶
Unrestricted operation is possible if the ap-
pliance is operated exclusively in circulat-
ing-air mode.
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
Leaving fat or oil cooking on an unattended
hob can be dangerous and may lead to fires.
▶
Never leave hot oil or fat unattended.
▶
Never attempt to extinguish a fire using wa-
ter; instead, switch off the appliance and
then cover with a lid or a fire blanket.
The cooking surface becomes very hot.
▶
Never place flammable objects on the
cooking surface or in its immediate vicinity.
▶
Never place objects on the cooking sur-
face.
The appliance will become hot.
▶
Do not keep combustible objects or aero-
sol cans in drawers directly underneath the
hob.
Hob covers can cause accidents, for example
due to overheating, catching fire or materials
shattering.
▶
Do not use hob covers.
After every use, switch off the hob using the
controls.
▶
Do not wait until the hob turns off automat-
ically as there are no longer any pots and
pans on it.
Fatty deposits in the grease filters may catch
fire.
▶
Never operate the appliance without a
grease filter.
▶
Clean the grease filters regularly.
