Damaged appliances must not be operated.

The appliance must only be connected by an
authorised specialist, paying attention to
the relevant regulations of the power supply
companies and the regional construction
regulations.

Also observe the assembly instructions!

Connecting cables must not come into contact with
hot cooking surfaces.

Do not operate the extractor hood without inserted
lamps.

Never operate the appliance without a grease filter.

Hazardous or explosive substances and vapours
must not be extracted!

The user is responsible for expert use and the
perfect condition of the appliance.

Only operate the appliance under supervision.

Caution! Over-greased filters are a fire risk! Only
ever deep-fry under the extractor under constant
supervision. Be sure to clean the grease filter on a
regular basis and change the activated charcoal
filter.

Fire risk! Do not flambé meals under the extractor
hood!

Operation of the extractor hood above a hearth for
solid fuels, which poses a fire risk (e.g. sparks) is
only permitted, if the hearth possesses a closed
and fixed lid. The current local regulations must be
obeyed. This does not apply to gas hobs and gas
cookers.

Hobs may only be used under the extractor hood
when pots and pans are placed on them!

When using more than 3 gas-operated rings at the
same time, please operate the extractor hood at
level 2 or higher. This prevents a build-up of heat in
the appliance.

Do not clean the appliance with a steam cleaning
apparatus or with water pressure because this
poses a risk of short-circuits.

Isolate the appliance from the mains during every
maintenance operation. To do this, remove the
mains plug or actuate the corresponding fuse.
If the mains plug is not accessible, the appliance
must be switched off at fuse point.

Repairs must be carried out by authorised
specialists, thus ensuring electrical safety.

No warranty claims can be lodged in the event of
damage caused by failure to observe these
instructions.

Adequate incoming air must be ensured if a wood,
coal, gas or oil heater or an open hearth is operated
in the same room as the one in which the hood is
installed.

Safe operation is possible whenever the partial
vacuum in the place where the firing equipment is
installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This
can be achieved whenever the air needed for
combustion is able to enter through openings that
cannot be sealed, for example in doors, windows,
incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or other technical
means.

After a power failure, the extactor will not go on
again automatically. You can recommence operation
by turning a knob or by pressing any key.

Technical modifications reserved.

Note that one large burner of more than 5 kW (Wok) is

equivalent to the power of 2 gas burners.
Never operate a gas cooking area without a cooking
utensil on it. Regulate the flame in such a way that it
does not project over the cooking utensil.

For safety reasons, do not place any heavy objects on
the top of the appliance.

Never allow children to play with the appliance.

Do not let adults or children operate the appliance
unsupervised:
– if they are mentally or physically unable to use the
appliance safely and correctly,
– if they don’t have the knowledge and experience to
use the appliance safely and correctly.

Before operating the appliance for the first time,
please pay attention to the following notes:

The appliance must be installed and connected by a
specialist before it is operated for the first time.

Conscientiously read through the operating and
assembly instructions before operating the
appliance for the first time.

Remove the packaging from the appliance and
dispose of it properly! Pay attention to the fact that
there are accessories in the packaging!
Keep packaging elements (e.g. plastic foil,
styrofoam parts) out of the reach of children!

Thoroughly clean the appliance before using it for
the first time (see chapter “Cleaning and care”).

Before operating the appliance for the first time,
check that the mains connection is in proper
working order.

This appliance is labelled in accordance
with the European Directive 2002/96/EG
concerning used electrical and electronic

appliances (waste electrical and electronic
equipment – WEEE). The guideline determines the
framework for the return and recycling of used
appliances as applicable.

Check the appliance for transport damage before
installing it.

The appliance is intended solely for use in the
household and must not be put to any other uses.

In the event of malfunctions, first of all check the
household fuses. If the problem has nothing to do
with the power supply, please contact your
specialist dealer or your local Gaggenau after-sales
service.
