safety instructions
1
• Please read these instructions before operating the
appliance and retain for future use.
• The appliance is intended solely for domestic use within the
home. The appliance is suitable for extraction of air to the
outside or for recirculation.
• Before plugging into a socket, check that the voltage in your
home corresponds with the voltage printed on the bottom of the
appliance.
• This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and over,
as well by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, provided they
are supervised and instructed in the safe use of the appliance
and understand the hazards involved. Do not allow children
to play with the appliance. Do not allow children to clean or
maintain the appliance unless supervised.

Life-threatening: danger of poisoning through
backdrafting of combustion gasses!
• Never use the appliance to extract air while using a cooker that
consumes air from the room, unless the room is sufficiently
ventilated. Cooking appliances that consume air in the room
(such as equipment that heats using gas, oil, wood or coal,
geysers, hot water appliances) draw the combustion air out
of the room and carry these gasses outside via the outlet (eg.
shaft). In combination with an activated cooker hood, air is
withdrawn from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms. This creates
negative pressure if there is insufficient air supply. Poisonous
gasses from the shaft or outlet channel are then backdrafted into
the living area.
Always provide adequate ventilation!
• The maximum permitted negative pressure is 4 Pa.
• Local regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be
fullfilled.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote control system.
• In relation with electrical safety, the appliance shall not be
cleaned with high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
