Toxic gases from the chimney or the extraction shaft are 
sucked backed into the living space.

Adequate incoming air must therefore always be ensured.

An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will not ensure 
compliance with the limit.

Safe operation is possible only 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 by other technical means.

In any case, consult your responsible chimney sweep. He is 
able to assess the house's entire ventilation setup and will 
suggest the suitable ventilation measures to you.

Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapour extractor hood 
is operated exclusively in the recirculation mode.

Risk of fire!

from flying sparks. Do not install appliance above a solid fuel 
heater (e.g. wood or coal) unless a closed, non-removable 
cover is available.

Caution!

Risk of damage from heat accumulation due to too narrow gap 
between appliance and high-sided unit or wall. Only one side 
of the appliance may be installed directly next to a high-sided 
unit or a wall. Distance between the appliance and wall or high-
sided unit must be at least 50 mm.

The specified safety distances must be observed. Also observe 
the specifications for your cooking appliance. If gas 
and electric hobs are operated together, the largest specified 
distance applies.

The width of the extractor hood must correspond at least 
with the width of the hob.

For the installation observe the currently valid building 
regulations and the regulations of the local electricity and gas 
suppliers.

Risk of electric shock!

from damaged connection cable. Do not kink or pinch 
connection cable during installation.

Risk of fire, risk of injury!

from damaged connection cable. A damaged connection cable 
must be replaced by a qualified technician (electrician).

Risk of injury!

From sharp edges during installation. Always wear protective 
gloves while installing the appliance.

Risk of injury!

from a falling appliance. All safety screws and safety caps must 
be firmly fitted.

Using the appliance

Risk of burns!

from hot appliance when used with cooking appliances. Keep 
children away and ensure appliance is used properly.

Risk of injury, risk of damage!

from objects falling on the appliance. Never place objects 
on the appliance.

Risk of fire, risk of burns!

if gas hotplates not covered with cooking utensils. Always 
use gas hotplates with appropriate cooking utensils. Regulate 
flame to ensure that it does not lick over the cooking utensil.

Risk of burns, risk of damage!

if several gas hotplates are operated simultaneously. Never 
operate two gas hotplates simultaneously on the highest flame 
for longer than 15 minutes. The housing will become very hot 
due to the intense heat.

Note: 

One large burner of more than 5 kW (Wok) is equivalent 

to the power of two gas burners. 

Risk of fire!

from grease deposits in the metal-mesh grease filter. Never 
work under the appliance with a naked flame 
(e.g. flambéing). Always operate appliance with metal-mesh 
grease filter. Regularly clean the metal-mesh grease filter.

from overheated fats and oils. Heat fats and oils under 
constant supervision only. Never extinguish fire with water, 
always use a fire blanket, lid or plate. 

Caution!

Risk of damage due to corrosion. Always switch on the 
appliance while cooking to avoid condensation. Condensate 
can produce corrosion damage.

Risk of injury!

due to LED lights of risk group 1. Do not look directly into the 
switched on LED lights for longer than 100 seconds.

Cleaning and care

Risk of burns, risk of electric shock!

from appliance. Always leave appliance to cool down before 
cleaning or servicing. Switch off fuse or pull out mains plug.

Caution!

Risk of damage due to ingress of humidity into the electronic 
circuitry. Never clean operator controls with a wet cloth.

Surface damage due to incorrect cleaning. Clean stainless 
steel surfaces in the grind direction only. Do not use any 
stainless steel cleaners for operator controls.

Surface damage due to strong or abrasive cleaning agents. 
Never use strong and abrasive cleaning agents.

Maintenance and repair

Risk of fire, risk of injury!

from improper repairs. Switch off fuse or pull out mains plug. 
Repairs may be performed by a qualified technician 
(electrician) only.

Risk of injury!

from defective or damaged appliance. Switch off fuse or pull 
out mains plug and call customer service.

Risk of fire, risk of injury!

from damaged connection cable. A damaged connection cable 
must be replaced by a qualified technician (electrician).

Risk of burns, risk of electric shock!

from defective bulbs. Switch off fuse or pull out mains plug. 
Always replace defective bulbs immediately (leave bulbs 
to cool down first) to prevent the remaining bulbs from 
overloading.
