Safety information
These operating and installation instructions contain important information that must be ob-
served to ensure safe and reliable operation of the extractor hood. Please store them in a
safe place for future reference. These operating instructions refer 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 physical or
mental capabilities or persons who lack experience and/or knowledge of how to use it.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Intended use
The extractor hood may only be used to extract kitchen vapours above the cooking appli-
ances in private households. Any other use will be deemed to be improper. Improper 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 appliance may only be installed and connected by an authorised technician observing
all relevant regulations of the electric utility companies and the applicable building regulati-
ons. During installation, observe the relevant instructions!
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 extraction mode at the same time as other room-air-
dependent fire appliances (e.g. wood, gas, oil or coal-fired appliances) in the same room,
lethal combustion gases may be directed back into the room due to the resulting negative
pressure. For this reason, you must ensure a sufficient air supply at all times! The negative
pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa ( 0.04mbar ).
( Please make sure that a window contact is installed )
Fire hazard !
The extractor hood must never be operated without the grease filter and must always be
used under supervision. Filters that are saturated with grease can pose a fire hazard! Keep
the extractor hood under constant supervision when deep-frying! Remember to clean out
the filters regularly. Flambéing under the extractor hood is not allowed! Gas appliances ma-
y only be used under the extractor hood with saucepans placed over 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 appli-
ances in private households. The requirements regarding the installation location are
described in the user documentation supplied with the appliance. If you have any doubts as
to whether your intended installation location meets the requirements, please contact our
service department. Damaged appliances may not be put into operation. Defective parts
must be replaced with genuine spare parts or parts specified by OPERA. Repairs
should only be carried out by authorised technical staff.
