Safety instructions

Intended use

This extractor hood complies with the

stipulated safety regulations. Improper use
may result in injury or damage.

The extractor hood may be used in the

household only. The manufacturer is not
liable for damage which is caused by
improper use or incorrect operation.

The manufacturer cannot be made

responsible for damage which can be
attributed to non-observance of the safety
instructions.

RISK OF INJURY

Do not allow children to play with the
extractor hood! Adults and children must
never operate the appliance unsupervised
– if they are not physically or mentally

capable of doing so

– or if they do not have the knowledge and

experience to operate the appliance
correctly and safely.

Technical safety

The extractor hood left the factory in

perfect condition. Nevertheless check
the appliance for visible damage before
installation. If it is damaged, do not switch
it on!

If the power cord of the extractor hood

is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, his customer service or
a similarly qualiied person to prevent
hazardous situations.

Only a qualiied technician may install

(including electrical connection), service
or repair the extractor hood. Always isolate
the extractor hood by pulling out the mains
plug or switching of the fuse!

If the appliance is improperly installed,

serviced or repaired, the user may be placed
in considerable danger for which the
manufacturer is not liable.

Changes to the electrical or mechanical

installation are dangerous and must not be
undertaken! They may also cause the
extractor hood to malfunction.

Special information for gas cookers

When installing the extractor hood above

gas hobs, observe the appropriate national
statutory regulations (e.g. in Germany:
Technische Regeln Gasinstallation TRGI).

Observe the currently valid installation

regulations and instructions of the gas
appliance manufacturer.

During installation, ensure that only one

side of the extractor hood is situated directly
next to a high-sided unit or a wall. Otherwise,
there is a risk of heat build-up. The gap
between the extractor hood and the wall or
high-sided unit must be at least 50 mm.

RISK OF BURNS

Do not operate more than 2 gas cooking
areas simultaneously over a period of
max. 15 minutes at maximum thermal load.
Due to the efect of the heat there is a risk of
burns if the surfaces of the housing are
touched!

Note that one large burner of more

than 5 kW (Wok) is equivalent to the power
of 2 gas burners.

The extractor hood may be damaged by

the intense heat.

Never operate a gas cooking area without

a cooking utensil on it. Regulate the lame in
such a way that it does not project over the
cooking utensil.

Proper use

Clean the extractor hood thoroughly

before using for the irst time.

Before cleaning and servicing the

extractor hood, isolate it from the power
supply by pulling out the mains plug or
switching of the fuse.

Bulbs (especially halogen bulbs) become

very hot during operation. Even some time
after the appliance has been switched of,
there is still a risk of burns!

Before changing bulbs, isolate the

extractor hood from the power supply
and leave the bulbs to cool down!

Do not operate the extractor hood

without bulbs inserted.

Always switch on the extractor hood if

a hotplate is being used. If the extractor
hood is not switched on, condensation may
form. As a result, the appliance may corrode.

RISK OF FIRE

Do not lambé under the extractor hood or
work with a naked lame. When switched on,
the extractor hood draws lames into the
ilter. There is a risk of ire due to deposits on
the grease ilter!

Do not leave pans, frying pans or deep-

fat fryers unattended if you are cooking food
with oils or fats, e.g. chips. Overheated oils or
fats can easily ignite!

A risk of ire can be prevented by cleaning

the grease ilters regularly and changing the
activated-carbon ilter in good time.

Never operate the extractor hood

without grease ilters.

Correct installation

Check the manufacturer’s speciications

for the cooker to determine whether an
extractor hood can be operated over it.

If the manufacturer of the cooker has not

speciied any signiicant safety distances, the
following minimum distances apply
550 mm between electric hob and the

lower edge of the extractor hood,

650 mm between gas hob (upper edge of

pan support) and the lower edge of the
extractor hood
(see ig. 1, page 2).

If various cookers are used, the greatest

indicated distance applies.

The width of the extractor hood must

correspond to the width of the cooking area.

The extractor hood must not be installed

over a solid fuel heating appliance which
may be a ire risk (e.g. lying sparks) unless
the heating appliance has a closed, non-
detachable cover and the country-speciic
regulations are observed. This restriction
does not apply to gas cookers and gas hobs.

To avoid damaging the hob, cover it

when installing the extractor hood.
