Important safety information
Read these instructions carefully. Only then will you be able to operate your
appliance safely and correctly. Retain the instruction manual and installation
instructions for future use or for subsequent owners.
The appliance can only be used safely if it is correctly installed according
to the safety instructions. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the
appliance works perfectly at its installation location.
This appliance is intended for domestic use and the household environment
only. The appliance is not intended for use outside. Do not leave the
appliance unattended during operation. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage which is caused by improper use or incorrect operation.
This appliance is intended for use up to a maximum height of 2000 meters above
sea level.
This appliance may be used by children over the age of 8 years old and by
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or by persons
with a lack of experience or knowledge if they are supervised or are
instructed by a person responsible for their safety how to use the appliance
safely and have understood the associated hazards.
Children must not play with, on, or around the appliance. Children must not
clean the appliance or carry out general maintenance unless they are at least
15 years old and are being supervised.
Keep children below the age of 8 years old at a safe distance from the
appliance and power cable.
Check the appliance for damage after unpacking it. Do not connect the appliance if it has been damaged in transport. Only a licensed professional may connect appliances without plugs. Damage caused by incorrect connection is not covered under warranty.
The danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children. Never allow children to play with
packaging material.
The danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are drawn back in. Always ensure
adequate fresh air in the room if the appliance is being operated in exhaust
air mode at the same time as room air-dependent heat-producing appliance is
being operated.
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 air through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a
chimney).
In combination with an activated vapor extractor hood, room air is extracted
from the kitchen and neighboring rooms – a partial vacuum is produced if not
enough fresh air is supplied. Toxic gases from the chimney or the extraction
shaft are sucked back into the living space.
- Adequate incoming air must therefore always be ensured.
- An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will not ensure compliance with the limit. Safe operation is possible only when the partial vacuum in the place where the heat-producing appliance is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved when 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.
In any case, consult your responsible Master Chimney Sweep. He is able to assess the house’s entire ventilation setup and will suggest suitable ventilation measures to you. Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapor extractor hood is operated exclusively in the circulating-air mode.
Risk of fire!
- Grease deposits in the grease filter may catch fire.
Clean the grease filter at least every 2 months.
Never operate the appliance without the grease filter.
- Grease Riskoffire! 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, nonremovable cover is available. There must be no flying sparks.
- Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket, or something similar.
- When Riskoffire! 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 Riskoffire! several gas burners at the same time give rise to a great deal of heat. A ventilation appliance installed above the cooker may become damaged or catch fire. Never operate two gas burners simultaneously on the highest flame for longer than 15 minutes. One large burner of more than 5 kW (wok) is equivalent to the power of two gas burners.
Risk of burns!
The accessible parts become very hot when in operation. Never touch hot parts.
Keep children at a safe distance.
Risk of injury!
- Components inside the appliance may have sharp edges. Wear protective gloves.
- Items Riskofinjury! placed on the appliance may fall down. Do not place any objects on the appliance.
Risk of electric shock!
- A defective appliance may cause electric shock. Never switch on a defective appliance. Unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
- Incorrect Riskofelectricshock! repairs are dangerous. Repairs may only be carried out and damaged power cables replaced by one of our trained after-sales technicians. If the appliance is defective, unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
- Do Riskofelectricshock! not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.
Causes of damage
Caution!
Risk of damage due to corrosion. Always switch on the appliance while cooking
to avoid condensation. Condensate can produce corrosion damage.
Always replace faulty bulbs to prevent the remaining bulbs from overloading.
Risk of damage due to ingress of humidity into the electronic circuitry. Never
clean operator controls with a wet cloth.
Surface damage due to incorrect cleaning. Clean stainless steel surfaces in
the direction of the grain only. Do not use any stainless steel cleaners for
operator controls.
Surface damage due to strong or abrasive cleaning agents. Never use strong and
abrasive cleaning agents.
Risk of damage from returning condensate. Install the exhaust duct in such a
way that it falls away from the appliance slightly (1° slope).
Environmental protection
Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here you can find tips on
how to save even more energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose of
your appliance properly.
Saving energy
- During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient supply of air so that the extractor hood can work efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
- Adjust the fan speed to the intensity of the cooking fumes. Only use intensive mode where this is required. A lower fan speed means that less energy is consumed.
- If there are intensive cooking fumes, select a higher fan speed in good time. If cooking fumes have already spread in the kitchen, the extractor hood must be operated for longer.
- Switch off the extractor hood if you no longer require it.
- Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
- Clean and, if required, replace the filter at regular intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally friendly manner.
This appliance is labeled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU
concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and
electronic equipment – WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the
return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.
Operating modes
This appliance can be used in exhaust-air mode or circulating air mode.
Exhaust air mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and conveyed to the
exterior by a pipe system.
Note: The exhaust air must not be conveyed into a functioning smoke or
exhaust gas flue or into a shaft that is used to ventilate installation rooms
that contain heat-producing appliances.
-
Before conveying the exhaust air into a non-functioning
smoke or exhaust gas flue, obtain the consent of the heating engineer responsible. -
If the exhaust air is conveyed through the outer wall, a telescopic wall box should be used.
Circulating-air mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and an activated
carbon filter and conveyed back into the kitchen.
Note: To bind odors in circulating-air mode, you must install an
activated carbon filter. The different options for operating the appliance in
circulating-air mode can be found in the brochure. Alternatively, ask your
dealer. The required accessories are available from specialist outlets, from
customer service, or from the Online Shop. The accessory numbers can be found
at the end of the instructions for use.
