Safety information
These operating and installation instruc-
tions contain important information that
must be observed to ensure safe and
reliable operation of the extractor hood.
Please store them in a safe place for future
reference. These operating instructions
apply to several versions of the appliance.
They may contain descriptions of certain
features not found on your model.
The extractor hood must not be used by
persons (incl. children) with impaired physi-
cal or mental capabilities or persons who
lack experience and/or knowledge of how it
uses it. Children must be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appli-
ance.
Intended use
The extractor hood may only be used to
extract kitchen vapours above the cooking
appliances in private households. Any other
use will be deemed to be improper. Improp-
er use of the hood may pose a danger to
persons and objects. The extractor hood
must not be used as a shelf to store objects
such as bottles, spice jars or other loose
objects.
Installation
The device may only be installed and
connected by an authorised technician
observing all relevant regulations of the
power supply companies and the building
regulations of the federal states. During
installation, observe the relevant instruc-
tions!
Damaged appliances may not be put into
operation. Defective parts must be replaced
with genuine parts. Repairs should only be
carried out by authorised technical staff.
Danger of intoxication !
If the extractor hood is operated in extrac-
tion mode at the same time as other room-
air-dependent fire appliances (e.g. wood,
gas, oil or coal-fired appliances) in the
PRELIMINARY NOTES
same room, lethal combustion gases may
be directed back into the room due to the
resulting negative pressure. For this rea-
son, you must ensure a sufficient air supply
at all times ! The negative pressure in the
room must not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
Please ensure that your cooker hood is equipped
with a fixed window-contact switch .
Fire hazard !
The extractor hood must never be operated
without the grease filter and must always
be used under supervision. Filters that are
overfilled with grease can pose a fire haz-
ard! Keep the extractor hood under con-
stant supervision when deep-frying! Re-
member to clean out the filters regularly.
Flambéing under the extractor hood is not
allowed. Gas appliances may only be used
under the extractor hood with saucepans
being on them! If you are using more than
three gas rings at the same time, operate
the extractor hood at power level "2" or
higher. This prevents the build-up of heat in
the appliance.
Preparing for use
The extractor hood model complies with the
relevant safety regulations for kitchen
appliances in private households. The
requirements
regarding
location are described in the user docu-
mentation supplied with the appliance. If
you have any doubts as to whether your
intended installation location meets the
requirements, please contact our service
department.
