Avoiding risks of injury
§
To prevent the risk of falling, use a stable step-
ladder for all work on the device, for example
replacing the filter and cleaning the device.
§
To prevent the risk of injury by falling parts, do not
place any objects on the device.
Avoiding environmental damage
§
Dispose of the device and its accessories in
accordance with the legal regulations.
Avoiding the risk of fire
§
Do not use the device during a fire or when there is
an imminent danger of fire (e.g. a smell of gas) in
the household.
§
Make sure that the hob has cooled down before you
cover it.
A dirty device can cause fire hazards.
§
Keep the device in perfect working order and check
it regularly.
§
Regularly remove any grease residues which are
present. Grease residues pose a fire hazard.
Overheated oil and a naked flame can cause fire
hazards.
§
Do not flambé underneath the device. Naked flames
can cause damage to neighbouring cabinets for
example.
§
Never deep-fry food unattended under the device.
Overheated oil can spontaneously ignite.
When operating over a gas stove or a gas unit:
§
Make sure that the gas flame is kept low. Naked
flames should not appear beyond the edge of the
pan base.
In recirculated air mode:
§
A covered or sealed ventilation outlet can cause a
fire hazard. Do not place any objects like lids or
plates for example on or in front of the ventilation
slits of the device. In the case of recirculated air
devices, out flowing air must be able to escape
back into the kitchen through the ventilation slits
without impediment.
§
No objects should be mounted in the area of the
ventilation slits of the device which could impede
the air flow. Make sure that out flowing air is able to
flow into the kitchen without impediment.
Operating over a solid-fuel burning fireplace:
The device may only be used over a fireplace for solid
fuels (e.g. a coal-burning stove) if:
§
the fireplace has a sealed cover which cannot be
removed. Otherwise there is an increased fire risk
due to flying sparks.
§
the legal and country-specific regulations are
observed.
Avoiding the risk of suffocation
If the device and an open fireplace which uses air from
the room for its oxygen supply are used at the same
time, gases or waste gases may be drawn into the
room.
§
Ensure there is an adequate supply of fresh air into
the dwelling.
§
Make sure that all safety equipment required by the
regulations in force in your country are working
properly (e.g. the under-pressure monitor P4
checked in accordance with DVGW-VP121 and in
accordance with DIN 18841:2005-12 TÜV).
