IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When properly cared for, your new appliance has
been designed to be safe and reliable. Read all
instructions carefully before use. These precautions
will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and
injury to persons. When using kitchen appliances,
basic safety precautions must be followed, including
those in the following pages.
Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord
with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not
route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange
cord away from traffic area and where it will not be
tripped over.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
WARNING
General notes
Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event
of transport damage, do not plug it in.
Fire Safety
Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low
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!
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.
CAUTION
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug.
Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility
for examination and/or repair.

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.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution
when reaching behind or under appliance.
WARNING
When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode
simultaneously with a different burner which also
makes use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or
coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water
boilers) care must be taken to ensure that there is an
adequate supply of fresh air which will be needed by
the burner for combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the under
pressure in the room where the burner is installed
does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow
through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors,
windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or
by other technical measures, such as reciprocal
interlocking, etc.
WARNING
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide adequate
air intake so combustion gases are not drawn back
into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no
guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the
combined ventilation system for the entire household
must be taken into consideration. This rule does not
apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as
cooktops and ovens.

Operating the appliance
You can use this appliance in the air extraction or the
recirculation mode.
Air extraction
The air sucked in is cleaned by the
grease filters and is routed outdoors
through a pipe system.
Note: The extracted air must neither be discharged
into an operating smoke or waste gas chimney nor into
a shaft that serves to ventilate rooms where heatproducing appliances are installed.
▯ The local chimney sweep's consent must be
obtained if the exhaust air is to be routed to a
smoke or waste gas chimney that is not in
operation.
▯ A telescopic wall duct should be used if the
exhaust air is routed through the outside wall.
Recirculation
The aspirated air is cleaned by the grease
filters and an activated charcoal filter and
is returned to the kitchen.
Note: Switch on the extractor hood when you start
cooking and switch it off again only several minutes
after you have finished cooking. This is the most
effective way of removing the kitchen fumes.
