ṇ 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.
ṇ 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 qualied person to prevent
hazardous situations.
Only a qualied 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 o 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.
ṇ 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 eect 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 ame in
such a way that it does not project over the
cooking utensil.
Proper use
Clean the extractor hood thoroughly
before using for the rst time.
Before cleaning and servicing the
extractor hood, isolate it from the power
supply by pulling out the mains plug or
switching o the fuse.
Bulbs (especially halogen bulbs) become
very hot during operation. Even some time
after the appliance has been switched o,
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.
ṇ RISK OF FIRE
Do not ambé under the extractor hood or
work with a naked ame. When switched on,
the extractor hood draws ames into the
lter. There is a risk of re due to deposits on
the grease lter!
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 re can be prevented by cleaning
the grease lters regularly and changing the
activated-carbon lter in good time.
Never operate the extractor hood
without grease lters.
Correct installation
Check the manufacturer’s specications
for the cooker to determine whether an
extractor hood can be operated over it.
If the manufacturer of the cooker has not
specied any signicant 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 g. 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 re risk (e.g. ying sparks) unless
the heating appliance has a closed, non-
detachable cover and the country-specic
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.
