Safety information
These operating and installation instruc-
tions contain important information
which must be observed in order to en-
sure the safe and reliable operation of
the ABAJO extractor hood. Please store
them in a safe place for future reference.
These operating instructions apply to
several versions of the appliance. They
may contain descriptions of certain fea-
tures not found on your model. The
ABAJO extractor hood must not be used
by persons (incl. children) with impaired
physical or mental capabilities or per-
sons who lack experience and/or knowl-
edge of how to use it. Children must be
supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Intended use
The ABAJO extractor hood may only be
used to extract kitchen vapours from
cooking appliances in private house-
holds. Any other use will be deemed to
be improper. Improper use of the hood
may pose a danger to persons and ob-
jects.
Installation
The device may only be installed and
connected by an authorised technician
observing all relevant regulations of the
power supply companies and the build-
ing regulations of the federal states.
During installation, observe the relevant
instructions! Damaged appliances may
not be put into operation. Defective parts
must be replaced with genuine GUT-
MANN parts. Repairs should only be
carried out by authorised technical staff.
Danger of intoxication!
If the ABAJO extractor hood is operated
in extraction mode at the same time as
other room-air-dependent fire appli-
ances (e.g., wood, gas, oil or coal-fired
appliances) in the same room, lethal
combustion gases may be directed back
into the room due to the resulting nega-
tive pressure. For this reason, you must
ensure a sufficient air supply at all times!
The negative pressure in the room must
not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
Fire hazard!
The ABAJO extractor hood must never
be operated without the grease filter and
must not be left unattended. Filters that
are overfilled with grease can pose a fire
hazard! Never leave the extractor hood
unattended when deep-frying! Remem-
ber to clean out the filters regularly. The
use of gas cookers and flambéing are
forbidden with the extractor hood.
Preparing for use
The extractor hood model complies with
the relevant safety regulations for
kitchen appliances in private house-
holds. The requirements regarding the
installation location are described in the
user documentation supplied with the
appliance. If you have any doubts as to
whether your intended installation loca-
tion meets the requirements, please
contact our service department.
Transport, unpacking, installation
Condensation may occur if the appli-
ance is brought into the installation site
from a cold environment. Please wait
until the appliance has adjusted to the
temperature and is completely dry be-
fore operating it. The acclimatization
period depends on the temperature dif-
ference and the type and design of the
appliance. However, it should be at least
12 hours.

on the appliance matches the mains
voltage in your area. Connection to the
