or medium settings. b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat. c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware

appropriate for the size of the surface element. 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!

CAUTION

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: ‒ SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,

cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

‒ NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be

burned.

‒ DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths

or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

‒ Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

‒ You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,

and you already know how to operate it.

‒ The fire is small and contained in the area

where it started.

‒ The fire department is being called ‒ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

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

During simultaneous use of multiple gas cooktops, a great deal of heat is created. A ventilation device located above it can become damaged or catch fire. Never use two gas cooktops together at maximum heat for longer than 15 minutes. One large burner with over 17,000 Btu/hr (5 kW) (wok) is equal to the wattage of two gas burners.

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.

Burn Prevention

WARNING

Risk of burns

The accessible parts get hot during operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children away.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

Remove all tape and packaging before using the appliance. Destroy the packaging after unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging material.

WARNING

Risk of fire

Operating several gas burners at the same time gives rise to a great deal of heat. The ventilation appliance may become damaged or catch fire. The ventilation appliance must only be combined with gas burners that do not exceed the maximum total output of 61,000 Btu/hr (18 kW). If 41,000 Btu/hr (12 kW) is exceeded, the local regulations concerning room ventilation, room size, and combination with ventilation devices in exhaust and recirculating operation must be heeded.
