Safety information
s
These operating and installation instruc-
tions contain important information that
must be observed to ensure safe and
reliable operation of the extractor hood.
Please store them in a safe place for
future reference. These operating in-
structions refer to several versions of
the appliance. They may contain de-
scriptions of certain features not found
on your model. The extractor hood must
not be used by persons (incl. children)
with impaired physical or mental capa-
bilities or persons who lack experience
and/or knowledge of how to use it. Chil-
dren must be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
Intended use
The extractor hood may only be used to
extract kitchen vapours above the cook-
ing appliances in private households.
Any other use will be deemed to be im-
proper. Improper use of the hood may
pose a danger to persons and objects.
The extractor hood must not be used as
a shelf to store objects such as bottles,
spice jars or other loose objects.
Installation
The appliance may only be installed and
connected by an authorised technician
observing all relevant regulations of the
electric utility companies and the appli-
cable building regulations. During instal-
lation, observe the relevant instructions!
Damaged appliances may not be put
into operation. Defective parts must be
replaced with genuine parts. Repairs
should only be carried out by authorised
technical staff.
Danger of intoxication!
If the extractor hood is operated in ex-t
raction mode at the same time as other r
oom-air-dependent fire appliances (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 negative pres-
sure. For this reason, you must ensure a
sufficient air supply at all times! The
negative pressure in the room must not
exceed 4 Pa (0.04mbar).
Fire hazard!
The extractor hood must never be oper-
ated without the grease filter and must
always be used under supervision. Fil-
ters that are saturated with grease can
pose a fire hazard! Keep the extractor
hood under constant supervision when
deep-frying! Remember to clean out the
filters regularly. Flambéing under the
extractor hood is not allowed! Gas appli-
ances may only be used under the ex-
tractor hood with saucepans placed over
them! If you are using more than three
gas rings at the same time, operate the
extractor hood at power level "2" or
higher. This prevents the build-up of
heat in the appliance.
Preparing for use
The extractor hood model complies with
the relevant safety regulations for kitch-
en appliances in private households.
The requirements regarding the installa-
tion location are described in the user
documentation supplied with the appli-
ance. If you have any doubts as to
whether your intended installation loca-
tion meets the requirements, please
contact our service department. Dam-
aged appliances may not be put into
operation. Defective parts must be re-
placed with genuine spare parts or parts
specified by OPERA. Repairs should
only be carried out by authorised tech-
nical staff.
