Safety instructions
Connection and operation
• The appliances are constructed in accordance with the rele-
vant safety regulations.
• Repairing the appliances is a job that should be left to a quali-
fied electrician according to valid safety regulations. For your
own safety, do not allow anyone other than a qualified service
technician to install, service or repair the product.
The hood in general
• In order to avoid damage and risks as a result of improper
operation, it is essential that these instructions for use be fol-
lowed and be stored in a safe place.
• Should the appliance change hands, the instruction manual
should be passed on too.
• Cooking zones should always be covered with pots or pans to
prevent the strong heat from damaging the hood.
• Open flames are not permitted, since they damage the filters
and may start a fire. This does not include the proper use of a
gas cooker, i.e. the cooking zones must always be covered
with pots or pans.
• Constant supervision is essential when deep-frying or cooking
with oil or fat under the hood. There is a risk of fire if the frying
fat overheats or ignites itself. Avoid using fat which is not clean
or is old, since it is more likely to catch alight.
• Never flambé under the hood because of the risk of fire caused
by rising flames which could ignite the fat collected in the filter.
• It is essential to ensure a sufficient supply of fresh air in the
kitchen when the hood is in operation in the extraction air
mode and heating systems requiring a chimney are in opera-
tion.
• The hood may not be used without metal grease filters since it
will then be soiled on the inside.
• The air outlets may not be covered
during recirculation air operation in order
to enable the air to escape freely.
• The hood may not be cleaned with a
steam cleaner since safety can no longer be guaranteed due
to the steam.
• Do not look into the intensive source of light for too long!
• It is absolutely essential to observe maintenance and cleaning
cycles as failure to do so results in a risk of fire as fat deposits
may ignite.
• Disconnect the hood from the mains supply whenever it is
serviced or cleaned.
• When mounting the hood, the minimum clearance to cooking
zones must be 65 cm for electric cookers and 75 cm for gas
cookers. Smaller clearances are not permissible due to the risk
of fire.
• National building regulations stipulate certain restrictions when
cooker hoods and household furnaces connected to chimneys,
such as coal stoves, oil stoves and gas hot water boilers, are
operated in the same room.
The German regulation on firing heating systems only permits
a maximum negative pressure of 0.04 bars in such rooms.
Negative pressure occurs in a closed room as soon as an
extraction air system (cooker hood) is switched on.
Suitable measures must be taken in order to ensure that there
is a sufficient supply of fresh air for operation of the cooker
hood in the extraction air mode.
• Keep packaging material such as plastic bags away from chil-
dren.
Concerning persons
• This appliance is not intended to be used by persons (includ-
ing children) with physical, mental or sensory impairments or
by persons (including children) who lack the required experi-
ence or know-how, unless such persons are supervised by a
person responsible for their safety or have been given instruc-
tions on how to use the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Children should be supervised in order to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
