Safety
6
•
Only use the device if it is connected and fused in
accordance with the technical data.
•
Do not kink or crush the mains cable.
•
Do not use the device with a damaged electrical
connection cable.
•
In the event of a malfunction, disconnect the
device from the mains.
•
The mains plug must be easily accessible so that
you can quickly and easily isolate the device from
the mains supply in the event of an emergency. If
the mains plug is inaccessible following
installation, an all-pole isolating device with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm must be installed
and accessible.
•
If the device is moved from a cold environment
into a hot one, condensation may form inside the
device. In this case wait about two to three hours
before bringing the device into service.
•
Avoid exposing the device to dripping or splashing
water. Do not place objects filled with fluids on the
device, flower vases for example.
•
Keep the device dry.
•
If fluid does enter the device:
−
Immediately shut off the power supply, by
removing the fuse.
−
Make sure that the power supply cannot be
unintentionally reconnected. Perhaps by
designating a person to prevent the fuse being
switched on again.
−
Allow the device to dry.
−
Have the device checked and repaired by
trained, specialist personnel prior to using the
device again.
Avoiding the risk of explosion
•
Do not operate the device in an environment with
a risk of explosion.
Avoiding the risk of fire
•
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.
•
Do not flambé underneath the device. Naked
flames can cause damage to neighbouring
cabinets for example.
•
Only allow repair work on the device to be carried
out by personnel who have been specially trained
for this purpose.
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, outflowing air must be able to escape
back into the kitchen through the ventilation slits
without impediment.
•
No objects should be mounted above the device
which could impede the air flow. Make sure that
outflowing air is able to flow into the kitchen
without impediment.
The device may only be installed 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 risks of injury
•
To prevent the risk of falling, use a stable
stepladder for all work on the device, for example
replacing the filter, installing and cleaning the
device.
•
To prevent injury from falling parts, only use
suitable fastening materials.
•
To prevent cuts from broken glass, use suitable
protective gloves.
