Safe use
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 coal-burning) unless the heating appliance has a sealed, non-removable cover. There must be no flying sparks.
Hot oil and fat ignite very quickly.
Always supervise hot oil and fat.
Never extinguish burning oil or fat with water. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or something similar and leave to cool down. 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. Fatty deposits in the grease filters may catch fire.
Clean the grease filters regularly.

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 coal operated 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 chimney 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 fall below 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved whenever the air needed for combustion can 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 is not sufficient to ensure compliance with the limit.
In any case, consult your responsible chimney sweep. They can assess the house’s entire ventilation setup and will suggest suitable ventilation measures to you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the appliance is operated exclusively in circulating- -air mode.
Using a gas cooking appliance leads to the build-up of heat, moisture and combustion products in the room where the appliance is installed.
Switch on the extractor hood when using agas cooking appliance.

WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!

The accessible parts of the appliance become hot during operation.
Never touch these hot parts.
Keep children at a safe distance.
The appliance becomes hot during operation.

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 chimney 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 fall below 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). 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 is not sufficient to ensure compliance with the limit.
In any case, consult your responsible chimney sweep. They can assess the house’s entire ventilation setup and will suggest suitable ventilation measures to you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the appliance is operated exclusively in circulating- air mode.
Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn back in.

For air extraction mode, a one-way flap should be installed.

Notes

If a one-way flap is not included with the appliance, one can be ordered from a specialist retailer.
If the exhaust air is conveyed through the external wall, a telescopic duct should be used.

Installation Checking the wall

Check whether the wall is horizontal and adequately load-bearing.
The maximum weight of the appliance is 30 kg.
Drill the hole depth by the length of the screws.
Use the enclosed screws and wall plugs.
The enclosed screws and wall plugs are suitable for use with solid brickwork. Use suitable fixing material for other structures, e.g. plasterboard, porous concrete, proton bricks.
Install the appliance with a fixing material that is sufficiently stable and has been adjusted accordingly for both the structural conditions and the weight of the appliance.
Check the cut-out area for existing cables of other appliances.

Preparing the wall

Observe the information on the installation situation.
Ensure that there are no electrical wires, gas pipes or water pipes in the area where holes are to be drilled.
Cover the hob to prevent damage.
Determine the position of the extractor hood and lightly mark where the lower edge of the appliance should be on the wall.
- Determine the centre of the hob.
- Comply with the safety clearances for the hob.
- We recommend fitting the extractor hood in such a way that the lower edge of the glass screen is in line with the lower edges of the adjacent wall-hung cabinets.
To make the installation easier, apply and secure the packaging section that is used as the template to the line that is marked out.
Mark the positions for the screws.
For the installation with the flue cover, separate the template along the marked cut line.
Place the detached part at the required position. Observe the entire length of the flue duct.
Drill the 8 mm diameter holes to a depth of 80 mm for the fastenings.
Remove the template.
