These precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including those in the following pages.

General notes

Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of transport damage, do not plug it in.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

• Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.
  When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

WARNING

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

This appliance is not intended for operation with an external clock timer or a remote control.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.

Fire Safety

WARNING

To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or garages.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat.
c. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to deposits on the grease filter!

CAUTION

For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

• SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.

• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
  – You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
  – The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
  – The fire department is being called
  – You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE
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.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE
During simultaneous use of multiple gas cooktops, a great deal of heat is created. A ventilation device located above it can become damaged or catch fire. Never use two gas cooktops together at maximum heat for longer than 15 minutes. One large burner with over 17,000 Btu/hr (5 kW) (wok) is equal to the wattage of two gas burners.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE
Hot oil and fat catch fire fast. Never leave hot oil and fat unsupervised. Never extinguish a fire with water. Switch off the cooking position. Suffocate flames carefully with a lid, a fire blanket or similar.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE
Grease deposits in the grease filter can ignite.
Clean the grease filter at least every two months.
Never operate the appliance without the grease filter.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE
Grease deposits in the grease filter can catch fire. Never work with a naked flame near the appliance (e.g. flambéing). Install the unit near a heat- producing appliance for solid fuels (e.g. wood or coal) only if there is a closed, non-detachable cover. There must be no flying sparks.

Handle carefully to avoid breaking. Broken glass can cause an injury.

Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution when reaching behind or under appliance.

WARNING

When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with a different burner which also makes use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or coal- fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers) care must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air which will be needed by the burner for combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the under pressure in the room where the burner is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.

WARNING

Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide adequate air intake so combustion gases are not drawn back into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.

Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the combined ventilation system for the entire household must be taken into consideration. This rule does not apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as cooktops and ovens.
