Keep children under the age of 8 years away from the appliance and power cable.

1.4 Safe use

WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
The extractor hood may draw in the flame from gas burners. The grease deposits in the grease filter may catch fire. Small flames may go out.

• If you are operating the extractor hood next to a gas-fired appliance, fit the ventilation moulding on the gas-fired appliance. The ventilation moulding prevents the extractor hood from drawing in flames.

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 ignites very quickly.

▶ Always supervise hot oil and fat.
▶ Never extinguish burning oil or fat with wa-ter. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or something similar and leave to cool down.

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 chil-dren.
▶ Do not let children play with packaging ma-terial.

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-pro-ducing 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 dis-charge the exhaust gases into the open through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chim-ney). 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 extrac-tion 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 appli-ance is being operated.
▶ It is only possible to safely operate the ap-pliance 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 com-bustion 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 in- coming/exhaust air wall box alone is not sufficient to ensure compliance with the limit.
▶ In any case, consult your responsible chim-ney sweep. They are able to assess the house’s entire ventilation setup and will suggest the suitable ventilation measures to you.

Using a gas cooking appliance leads to a build-up of heat, moisture and combustion products in the room where the appliance is installed.

▶ Switch on the extractor hood when using a gas 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.
▶ Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

WARNING ‒ Risk of injury!

Components inside the appliance may have sharp edges.

▶ Carefully clean the appliance interior. Changes to the electrical or mechanical as-sembly are dangerous and may lead to mal-functions.
▶ Do not make any changes to the electrical or mechanical assembly.

Improper repairs are dangerous.

▶ Repairs to the appliance should only be carried out by trained specialist staff.
▶ If the appliance is defective, call Customer Service.
→ “Customer Service”, Page 19

WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!

If the appliance or the power cord is dam-aged, this is dangerous.

▶ Never operate a damaged appliance.
▶ Never pull on the power cord to unplug the appliance. Always unplug the appliance at the mains.
▶ If the appliance or the power cord is dam-aged, immediately unplug the power cord or switch off the fuse in the fuse box.

▶ Call customer services. → Page 19 Improper repairs are dangerous.
▶ Repairs to the appliance should only be carried out by trained specialist staff.
▶ Only use genuine spare parts when repair-ing the appliance.
▶ If the power cord or the appliance power cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special power cord or special appliance power cable, which is available from the manufacturer or its Cus-tomer Service.

An ingress of moisture can cause an electric shock.

▶ Before cleaning, pull out the mains plug or switch off the fuse in the fuse box.
▶ Do not use steam- or high-pressure clean-ers to clean the appliance.

Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock.

▶ Do not use wet sponge cloths.

WARNING ‒ Risk of explosion!

Highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic clean-ing agents in conjunction with aluminium parts in the interior of the appliance may cause ex-plosions.

▶ Never use highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic cleaning agents. In particular, do not use commercial or industrial cleaning agents in conjunction with aluminium parts,
e. g. grease filter on extractor hoods.

2.  Avoiding material damage

ATTENTION!
Condensate may cause corrosion damage.

▶  To prevent condensation from building up, switch on the appliance during cooking.

If moisture gets into the controls, this may result in damage.

▶  Never clean controls with a wet cloth.

Environmental protection and saving energy

3.  Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compat-ible and can be recycled.

▶ Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power.
Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam pro-duced during cooking.

• The lower the fan speed, the less energy is consumed.
  Only use the intensive mode as required.

If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a higher fan speed in good time.

• The odours are distributed around the room less.

Clean or replace the filters at regular intervals.

• The effectiveness of the filter is retained.

Put the cooking lid on.

• The cooking vapours and condensation are reduced.

Only use the additional functions if required.

• Switching off additional functions reduces power consumption.

4. Operating modes

You can use your appliance in air extraction mode or circulating-air mode.

4.1 Air extraction mode

The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease fil-ters 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 ex-haust gas flue, you must obtain the consent of the heating engineer re-sponsible.
• If the exhaust air is conveyed through the external wall, a tele-scopic duct should be used.

4.2 Air recirculation
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease fil-ters and an odour filter, and conveyed back into the room.

To bind odours in air recirculation mode, you must install an odour filter. The different options for operating the appliance in air circulation mode can be found in our catalogue. Alternatively, ask your dealer. The required accessor-ies are available from specialist retail-ers, from our after-sales service or from the online shop.

Note: When cooking intensively and for a long time, moisture is released into the air in the room. When us-ing the appliance in air recirculation mode, we recom-mend ventilating the kitchen adequately, e.g. by briefly opening a window to remove excessive moisture.

WARNING ‒ Risk of poisoning!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn back in. Room-air-dependent heat-pro-ducing 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 dis-charge the exhaust gases into the open through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chim-ney). 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 extrac-tion 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 appli-ance is being operated.
▶ It is only possible to safely operate the ap-pliance 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 com-bustion 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 in- coming/exhaust air wall box alone is not sufficient to ensure compliance with the limit.
▶ In any case, consult your responsible chim-ney sweep. They are able to assess the house’s entire ventilation setup and will suggest the suitable ventilation measures to you.

Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn back in.

▶ If an extractor hood with an open-flued heat production source is installed, the power supply for the extractor hood must be provided with a suitable safety switch.

Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn back in.

▶ Do not emit the exhaust air into a smoke or exhaust gas flue that is in operation.
▶ Do not emit the exhaust air into a shaft that is used to ventilate installation rooms for heat-producing appliances.
▶ If the exhaust air is to be conveyed into a smoke or exhaust gas flue, you must obtain the consent of the heating engineer re-sponsible.

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 chil-dren.
