Safety instructions

Proper use

Clean the extractor hood thoroughly before

using for the first time.

Before cleaning and servicing the extractor

hood, isolate it from the power supply by
pulling out the mains plug or switching off the
fuse.

Bulbs (especially halogen bulbs) become

very hot during operation. Even some time
after the appliance has been switched off,
there is still a risk of burns!

Before changing bulbs, isolate the extractor

hood from the power supply and leave the
bulbs to cool down!

Do not operate the extractor hood without

bulbs inserted.

Always switch on the extractor hood if a

hotplate is being used. If the extractor hood is
not switched on, condensation may form. As a
result, the appliance may corrode.

Do not place any

objects on the
extractor hood.

RISK OF FIRE

Do not flambé under the extractor hood or
work with a naked flame. When switched on,
the extractor hood draws flames into the filter.
There is a risk of fire due to deposits on the
grease filter!

Do not leave pans, frying pans or deep-fat

fryers unattended if you are cooking food with
oils or fats, e.g. chips. Overheated oils or fats
can easily ignite!

A risk of fire can be prevented by cleaning

the grease filters regularly and changing the
activated-carbon filter in good time.

Never operate the extractor hood without

grease filters.

Correct installation

Check the manufacturer’s specifications for

the cooker to determine whether an extractor
hood can be operated over it.

If the manufacturer of the cooker has not

specified any significant safety distances, the
following minimum distances apply
–

550 mm

between electric hob and the 

lower edge of the extractor hood

–

650 mm

between gas hob (upper edge of 

pan support) and the lower edge of the 
extractor hood,
(see fig. 1, page 2).

If various cookers are used, the greatest

indicated distance applies.

The width of the extractor hood must

correspond to the width of the cooking area.

The extractor hood must not be installed

over a solid fuel heating appliance which may
be a fire risk (e.g. flying sparks) unless the
heating appliance has a closed, non-
detachable cover and the country-specific
regulations are observed. This restriction does
not apply to gas cookers and gas hobs.

To avoid damaging the hob, cover it when

installing the extractor hood.
