When using the cooker hood over a gas hob, ensure that any burners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the
burner off when a pan is removed, even for a short time. Select a pan which is suitable for the size of the burner.
Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the pan. Avoid overheating the pan (e.g. when cooking with a
wok).
Always switch the cooker hood on when a cooking zone is in use, otherwise condensation may accumulate in the hood,
which could cause corrosion.
When cooking with oil or fat in chip pans and deep fat fryers etc., do not leave the pans unattended. Never leave an
open grill unattended when grilling. Overheated oil and fat can ignite and could set the cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood without the filters in place. Otherwise, grease and dirt will get into the appliance, causing a
malfunction of the hood.
Never use a steam cleaning appliance for cleaning the hood. The steam can enter the electronics and cause a short
circuit.
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the cooker hood unless they are supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the cooker hood unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and
recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children may not be allowed to clean or maintain the cooker hood unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the cooker hood and do not let them play with it.
Insufficient distance between the cooker or hob and the cooker hood can result in damage to the hood. The minimum
safety distances between the back of the cooker or hob and the cooker hood given in the ‘Installation’ section must be
observed, unless the hob manufacturer states that a greater distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the cooker hood, and they have different minimum safety distances
to the cooker hood, select the greater distance.
The appliance may not be connected to a chimney or flue which is in use. Neither should it be connected to ducting
which ventilates rooms that have fireplaces. The exhaust pipe must be of a non-flammable material. If exhaust air is to
be extracted into a chimney or ventilation duct no longer used for other purposes, please seek professional assistance
for correct installation.
Using the hood while running heat appliances that depend on the oxygen in the room:
Warning - danger of toxic fumes!
Great care should be taken when using the cooker hood at the same time and in the same room or area of the as
another heating appliance that depends on the oxygen in the room. Such appliances include gas, oil, wood or coal-fired
boilers and heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas hobs, cookers or ovens which draw air in from the room
and duct exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting.
When used in extraction mode, with or without an external motor fitted, or in recirculation mode with a recirculation box
installed outside the room, the appliance draws air in from the room in which it is installed and from neighboring rooms.
If there is insufficient oxygen, an underpressure will occur. The heating appliance will be starved of oxygen, impairing
combustion. Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extraction ducting and back into the room, with
potentially fatal consequences.
In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by the heating appliances from being drawn back into
the room when the cooker hood and the heater are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04
mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible.
