1.4 Safe use

WARNING ‒ Risk of suffocation!

Children may put packaging material over
their heads or wrap themselves up in it and
suffocate.
▶ Keep packaging material away from children.
▶ Do not let children play with packaging material.
Children may breathe in or swallow small
parts, causing them to suffocate.
▶ Keep small parts away from children.
▶ Do not let children play with small parts.

WARNING ‒ Risk of poisoning!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases being
drawn back in. Room-air-dependent heat-producing
appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coaloperated
heaters, continuous flow heaters or
water heaters) obtain combustion air from the
room in which they are installed and discharge
the exhaust gases into the open
through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney).
With the extractor hood switched on, air
is extracted from the kitchen and the adjacent
rooms. Without an adequate supply of air, the
air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure.
Toxic gases from the flue or the extraction
shaft are sucked back into the living space.

▶ Always ensure adequate fresh air in the
room if the appliance is being operated in
exhaust air mode at the same time as a
room-air-dependent heat-producing appliance
is being operated.
▶ It is only possible to safely operate the appliance
if the pressure in the room in which
the heating appliance is installed does not
drop more than 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) below atmospheric
pressure. This can be achieved
whenever the air needed for combustion is
able to enter through openings that cannot
be sealed, for example in doors, windows,
incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or by
other technical means. An incoming/exhaust
air wall box alone does not ensure
compliance with the limit.
▶ In any case, consult your responsible chimney
sweep. They are able to assess the
house’s entire ventilation setup and will
suggest the suitable ventilation measures
to you.
▶ Unrestricted operation is possible if the appliance
is operated exclusively in circulating-
air mode.

WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
Fatty deposits in the grease filters may catch
fire.
▶ Never operate the appliance without a
grease filter.
▶ Clean the grease filters regularly.
▶ Never work with naked flames close to the
appliance (e.g. flambéing).
▶ Do not install the appliance near a solid
fuel heating appliance (e.g. wood- or coalburning)
unless the heating appliance has
a sealed, non-removable cover. There must
be no flying sparks.
Hot oil or grease ignites very quickly.
▶ Always supervise hot oil and fat.
▶ Never extinguish burning oil or fat with water.
Switch off the cooking zone. Extinguish
flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or
something similar.

When gas burners are in operation without
any cookware placed on them, they can build
up a lot of heat. A ventilation appliance installed
above the cooker may become damaged
or catch fire.

▶ Only operate the gas burners with cookware
on them.

Operating multiple gas hobs at the same time
generates a great deal of heat. A ventilation
appliance installed above the cooker may become
damaged or catch fire.
▶ Only operate the gas hobs with cookware
on them.
▶ Select the highest fan setting.
▶ Never operate two gas hobs simultaneously
on the highest flame for longer than
15 minutes. Two gas hobs correspond to
one large burner.
▶ Never operate large burners of more than
5 kW with the highest flame for longer
than 15 minutes, e.g. a wok.
▶ The appliance must only be combined with
gas hobs with a total output of up to 18
kW.

4.1 Air extraction mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters
and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system.

The air must not be discharged into a
flue that is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other
fuels (not applicable to appliances that
only discharge the air back into the
room).

• If the exhaust air is to be conveyed
  into a non-functioning smoke or exhaust
  gas flue, you must obtain the
  consent of the heating engineer responsible.

• If the exhaust air is conveyed
  through the external wall, a telescopic
  duct should be used.

4.2 Air recirculation mode
