1 Safety precautions

▪
A plug-in appliance may only be con-
nected to a socket outlet with earthing
contact, installed according to specifica-
tions. An all-pole mains isolating device
with 3 mm contact opening should be
provided in the house wiring system.
Switches, plug and socket devices, cir-
cuit breakers and fusible cut-outs which
are accessible after installation and
which have all-poles switching are per-
missible as isolating devices. Effective
earthing and separately installed neutral
and earth conductors ensure safe and
fault-free operation. After installation,
live parts and cables with basic insula-
tion must not be accessible. Check old
installations.
▪
Refer to the identification plate for in-
formation on the required mains
voltage, current type and fuse protec-
tion.
▪
All plastering, plasterboarding, wall pa-
pering or painting work is to be carried
out prior to installing the appliance.
▪
Efficient repairs can only be guaranteed
if it is possible to de-install the complete
appliance at any time without causing
any damage.

Instructions for use
Before using for the first time
▪
The appliance must be installed and
connected to the electricity supply in
accordance with the separate installa-
tion instructions. Have a qualified fitter/
electrician carry out the necessary
work.
▪
Observe the official regulations for the
exhaust-air layout.
▪
Dispose of the packaging material in
accordance with local regulations.
Correct use
▪
The appliance is designed for use in
the home for extracting cooking fumes
and smells from above the cooking sur-
face.
▪
Any repairs, modifications or manipula-
tions to the appliance, especially any
electrically live parts, may only be car-
ried out by the manufacturer, its cus-
tomer service department or similarly
qualified persons. Repairs if carried out
incorrectly may cause serious injury,
damage to the appliance and fittings,
as well as affect the functioning of the
appliance. If the appliance is not work-
ing properly or in case a repair is
needed, follow the instructions given in
the 'Service & Support' section. Contact
our Customer Services if necessary.
▪
Use original spare parts only.
▪
Retain these operating instructions for
future reference.
Note on use
▪
If the appliance is visibly damaged, do
not use it. Contact our Customer Ser-
vices.
▪
If the appliance is not functioning prop-
erly, disconnect it from the power sup-
ply immediately.
▪
Ensure there is adequate ventilation
when the extractor fan is on so as to
avoid creating underpressure in the kit-
chen and to achieve optimal air extrac-
tion.
▪
Avoid a cross-current of air, which
could blow the cooking vapours over
the cooking area.
▪
If other appliances – fired by gas or
other fuels – are being used at the
same time, ensure that there is a suffi-
cient supply of fresh air. This does not
apply to air recirculation appliances.
▪
If other firing systems are being used at
the same time (e.g. wood, gas, oil or
coal fired heating appliances), safe op-
eration is only possible providing a
room negative pressure of 4 Pa
(0.04 mbar) is not exceeded at the loc-
ation of the appliance. Risk of toxic
