a Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during
a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.
Seal the connection points of the ducts appropriately.
- Ductwork must vent outside, not in attic spaces for example,
unless the available ’Non-duct Recirculation Kit’ is used.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
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.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
Hot oil and fat catch fire fast. Never leave hot oil and fat
unsupervised. Never extinguish a fire with water. Switch off the
cooking position. Suffocate flames carefully with a lid, a fire
blanket or similar.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
Grease deposits in the grease filter can ignite.
Clean the grease filter at least every two months or as
frequently as necessary.
Never operate the appliance without the grease filter.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
Grease deposits in the grease filter can catch fire. Never work
with a naked flame near the appliance (e.g. flambéing). Install
the unit near a heat-producing appliance for solid fuels (e.g.
wood or coal) only if there is a closed, non-detachable cover.
There must be no flying sparks.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
Use only metal ductwork.
WARNING
RISK OF BURNS
The accessible parts get hot during operation. Never touch hot
parts. Keep children away.
CAUTION
It is recommended to wear gloves and long sleeves to protect
hands and forearms from abrasion and potential scratches
during the installation process.
