2. Intended use
The appliance is intended for domestic use.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damage
resulting from improper use or maloperation.
Extractor hoods remove unpleasant odours and
vapours and create a pleasant room atmosphere.
Particles of grease, steam and also moisture are
absorbed by the grease filter.
A correctly dimensioned extractor hood creates a
pleasant room climate without producing draughts
and ensures a bearable air humidity of 40-60%.
Make sure no open fire is burning in the
fireplace before you switch on the appliance or
there may be a heavy smoke formation in your
home.
Toxic combustion gases can also be drawn from the
chimney or flue, into living rooms. This can be
lethally dangerous!
3. Protection of the environment

4. Tips and general advice
a) Prior to carrying out cleaning or maintenance
work the power supply to the extractor hood is to
be cut off by removing the supply plug or tripping
out or removing the fuse.
b) The air extracted from the hood is not to be
routed over the exhaust air pipeline of the heater
or other non-electric operated appliances.
c) No flambé dishes are to be prepared under the
extractor hood. The open flames could destroy
the hood or even cause a kitchen fire.
d)
Never leave pans unwatched when frying
because fat can easily catch fire.
e) Constant maintenance guarantees problem-free
operation and optimal hood performance.
f) If the hood is used together with other non-
electrically operated appliances, the room partial
vacuum must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar).
g) Make sure that the room is adequately ventilated.
h) Regularly clean encrusted food from appliance
surfaces.
i) Regularly clean or replace the filter.
The exhaust air hose must not be made from or
contain flammable materials.
5. Before using the hood
•
Ensure that the hood has not suffered damage
during transport.
Installation and connection of the electrical
supply and the exhaust air must be carried out by
experienced tradesmen according to the
manufacturer’s instructions and in compliance with
the local requirements.
6. Using the hood
6.1 Operating safety information
The grease filter must always be in place
when operating the hood, otherwise grease vapour
can become deposited in the hood and the exhaust
air system.
•
With gas hobs, take care that hobs are not
operated without cooking utensils.
Parts of the hood can be damaged by the rising
heat from open gas flames.
•
Flame cooking under the hood is not permitted
due to the fire risk. The rising flame can set fire
to grease deposited in the filter.
•
Due to the fire risk, frying or cooking with oils
and fats under the hood is only to take place
under constant surveillance.
