1.4 Safe use
Follow these safety instructions when using the appliance.
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.

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 cooperated 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, the 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, in conjunction with 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 suitable ventilation measures to you.
▶ Unrestricted operation is possible if the appliance is operated exclusively in air-recirculation 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 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. Gas burners can build up a lot of heat while operating. A ventilation appliance installed above the cooker may become damaged or catch fire.
▶ Only operate the gas burners with cookware on them.
▶ Set at least fan setting 3.

16.3 Dimensions
You will find the dimensions of the appliance here

16.4 Secure installation
Follow these safety instructions when installing the appliance.
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, the 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, in conjunction with 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 suitable ventilation measures to you.
▶ Unrestricted operation is possible if the appliance is operated exclusively in air-recirculation mode.
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.

WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
Grease deposits in the grease filter may catch fire.
▶ The specified safety clearances must be complied with in order to prevent a build-up of heat.
▶ Observe the specifications for your cooking appliance. If gas and electric hobs are being operated together, the largest specified clearance applies.
Grease deposits in the grease filter may catch fire.
▶ Never work with naked flames close to the appliance (e.g. flambéing).
▶ Do not install the appliance near a heat-producing appliance for solid fuel (e.g. wood or coal) unless a closed, non-removable cover is available. There must be no flying sparks.

16.5 Information on the installation situation

• Install this appliance on the kitchen ceiling or a stable suspended ceiling.
• To install additional special accessory parts, ob- serve the enclosed installation instructions.
• The appliance finds it more difficult to draw in the cooking vapors the further away they are from the hob. Therefore maintain a distance of at least 700 mm and no more than 1500 mm.

16.6 Instructions for the exhaust air pipe
The appliance manufacturer does not provide any warranty for faults attributable to the pipeline.

• Use a short, straight exhaust air pipe with as large a pipe diameter as possible.
• Long, rough exhaust air pipes, many pipe bends, or small pipe diameters reduce the suction power and increase the fan noise.
• Use an exhaust pipe that is made of non-combustible material.
• To prevent condensate from returning, fit the exhaust pipe with a 1° gradient from the appliance.

Flat ducts
Use flat ducts with an inner cross-section that corresponds to the diameter of the round pipes:

• A diameter of 150 mm corresponds to approx. 177 cm².
• A diameter of 120 mm corresponds to approx. 113 cm².
• Use sealing strips for different pipe diameters.
• Do not use any flat ducts with sharp bends.
  Round pipes
  Use round pipes with an inner diameter of 150 mm (recommended) or at least 120 mm.

16.7 General information
Follow these general instructions during the installation.

•  For the installation, observe the currently valid building regulations and the regulations of the local electricity and gas suppliers.
• When discharging the exhaust air, the official and legal regulations, such as the regional building code. must be observed.
