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.

  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 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.

Risk of fire!
Fatty deposits in the grease filters may catch fire.

•  Never operate the appliance without a grease filter.

•  Clean the grease filters roughly every 2 months.

•  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 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 be come 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.

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.

Risk of injury!
Components inside the appliance may have sharp edges.

•  Carefully clean the appliance interior. Changes to the electrical or mechanical assembly are dangerous and may lead to mal-functions.

•  Do not make any changes to the electrical or mechanical assembly.
  The light emitted by LED lights is very dazzling, and can damage the eyes (risk group 1).

• Do not look directly into the switched-on LED lights for longer than 100 seconds.

Risk of electric shock!
If the appliance or the power cord is damaged, 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 10

Incorrect 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 of this appliance is dam-aged, it must be replaced by the manufac-turer, the manufacturer’s Customer Service or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent any risk.

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 cleaners to clean the appliance .

Risk of explosion!
Highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic cleaning 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.

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. Incorrect cleaning damages the surfaces.
•  Follow the cleaning instructions.
•  Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents.
•  Clean stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the finish only.
•  Never clean controls with stainless steel cleaners.
• Condensation that flows back in may damage the appliance.
• The air extraction duct must be installed with a gradient of at least 1° from the appliance.
• If you put incorrect stress on the design elements, they may break off.
•  Do not pull design elements
•  Do not place objects on the design elements or hang objects from them.
• There is a risk of surface damage if you do not peel off the protective film.
• Remove the protective film from all parts of the ap-pliance before using for the first time.
• Painted surfaces are easily damaged.
•  Follow the cleaning instructions. Cleaning the appliance”
•  Ensure that the painted surfaces are not scratched.

 Environmental protection and saving energy

Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power.
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation when cooking.

• The appliance works more efficiently and with fewer operating noises.
• Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced during cooking.
• The lower the fan speed, the less energy is consumed.
• Only use intensive mode when required.
• If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a higher fan speed in good time.
• The odours are distributed around the room less.
• Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
• The lighting does not consume any energy.
• 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.

Operating modes

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

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 tele-scopic duct should be used.

Air recirculation mode

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 circulating-air mode, you must install an odour filter. The dif-ferent options for operating the appli-ance in circulating-air mode can be found in our catalogue. Alternatively, ask your dealer. The required accessor- ies are available from specialist retail-ers, from customer service or from the Online Shop.
