Safety en
WARNING‒Risk of poisoning!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases being
drawn back in. Room-air-dependent heat-producing appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coaloperated heaters, continuous flow heaters or
water heaters) obtain combustion air from the
room in which they are installed and discharge the exhaust gases into the open
through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney). With the extractor hood switched on, air
is extracted from the kitchen and the adjacent
rooms. Without an adequate supply of air, the
air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure.
Toxic gases from the flue or the extraction
shaft are sucked back into the living space.
▶
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the
room if the appliance is being operated in
exhaust air mode at the same time as a
room-air-dependent heat-producing appliance is being operated.
▶
It is only possible to safely operate the appliance if the pressure in the room in which
the heating appliance is installed does not
drop more than 4Pa(0.04mbar) below atmospheric pressure. 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 by
other technical means. An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone does not ensure
compliance with the limit.
▶
In any case, consult your responsible chimney sweep. They are able to assess the
house's entire ventilation setup and will
suggest the suitable ventilation measures
to you.
WARNING‒Risk of fire!
Fatty deposits in the grease filters may catch
fire.
▶
Never operate the appliance without a
grease filter.
▶
Clean the grease filters regularly and at
least every 2 months.
▶
Never work with naked flames close to the
appliance (e.g. flambéing).
▶
Do not install the appliance near a solid
fuel heating appliance (e.g. wood- or coalburning) unless the heating appliance has
a sealed, non-removable cover. There must
be no flying sparks.
Hot oil or grease ignites very quickly.
▶
Always supervise hot oil and fat.
▶
Never extinguish burning oil or fat with water. Switch off the cooking zone. Extinguish
flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or
something similar.
When gas burners are in operation without
any cookware placed on them, they can build
up a lot of heat. The extractor hood that is fitted beside these may become damaged or
catch fire.
▶
Only operate the gas burners with cook-
ware on them.
WARNING‒Risk of burns!
The accessible parts of the appliance become
hot during operation.
▶
Never touch these hot parts.
▶
Keep children at a safe distance.
The appliance becomes hot during operation.
▶
Allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
Cookware set down within the movement area
of the appliance may fall over. Hot liquids that
pour out can cause injury.
▶
Do not set down any cookware within the
movement area of the appliance.
The cookware and the hob are very hot.
▶
Never reach over the hot hob or hot cook-
ware.
WARNING‒Risk of injury!
Components inside the appliance may have
sharp edges.
▶
Carefully clean the appliance interior.
Items placed on the appliance may fall off.
▶
Do not place any objects on the appliance.
3
en Avoiding material damage
Changes to the electrical or mechanical assembly are dangerous and may lead to malfunctions.
▶
Do not make any changes to the electrical
or mechanical assembly.
WARNING‒Risk of crushing!
Risk of trapping when retracting or extending
the appliance.
▶
Never reach into the movement area of the
appliance when it is retracting or extending.
▶
Keep children away from the appliance.
WARNING‒Risk of injury!
The light emitted by LED lights is very
dazzling, and can damage the eyes (risk
group 1).
▶
Do not look directly into the switched-on
LED lights for longer than 100seconds.
WARNING‒Risk of electric shock!
If the appliance or the power cord is damaged, this is dangerous.
▶
Never operate a damaged appliance.
▶
Never pull on the power cord to unplug the
appliance. Always unplug the appliance at
the mains.
▶
If the appliance or the power cord is damaged, immediately unplug the power cord
or switch off the fuse in the fuse box.
▶
Call customer services. →Page11
Incorrect repairs are dangerous.
▶
Repairs to the appliance should only be
carried out by trained specialist staff.
▶
Only use genuine spare parts when repairing the appliance.
▶
If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special
connection cable, which is available from
the manufacturer or his Customer Service.
An ingress of moisture can cause an electric
shock.
▶
Before cleaning, pull out the mains plug or
switch off the fuse in the fuse box.
▶
Do not use steam- or high-pressure clean-
ers to clean the appliance.
WARNING‒Risk of explosion!
Highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic cleaning agents in conjunction with aluminium parts
in the interior of the appliance may cause explosions.
▶
Never use highly caustic alkaline or highly
acidic cleaning agents. In particular, do not
use commercial or industrial cleaning
agents in conjunction with aluminium parts,
e.g. grease filter on extractor hoods.
2 Avoiding material damage
ATTENTION!
Condensate may cause corrosion damage.
▶
To prevent condensation from building up, switch on
the appliance during cooking.
If moisture gets into the controls, this may result in
damage.
▶
Never clean controls with a wet cloth.
Incorrect cleaning damages the surfaces.
▶
Follow the cleaning instructions.
▶
Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents.
▶
Clean stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the
finish only.
▶
Never clean controls with stainless steel cleaners.
Objects set down on the appliance may damage the
appliance or the hob when retracting or extending.
▶
Do not place any objects on the appliance.
Painted surfaces are easily damaged.
▶
Follow the cleaning instructions.
→"Cleaning the appliance", Page8
▶
Ensure that the painted surfaces are not scratched.
3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
▶
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.

Operating modes en
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power.
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation when cooking.
The appliance works more efficiently and with fewer
¡
operating noises.
Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced during cooking.
The lower the fan speed, the less energy is con-
¡
sumed.
Only use intensive mode when required.
4 Operating modes
You can use your appliance in air extraction mode or
circulating-air mode.
4.1 Air extraction mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system.
If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a
higher fan speed in good time.
The odours are distributed around the room less.
¡
Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.
The appliance does not consume any energy.
¡
Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
The lighting does not consume any energy.
¡
Clean or replace the filters at regular intervals.
The effectiveness of the filter is retained.
¡
Put the cooking lid on.
The cooking vapours and condensation are re-
¡
duced.
The air must not be discharged into a
flue that is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other
fuels (not applicable to appliances that
only discharge the air back into the
room).
¡ If the exhaust air is to be conveyed
into a non-functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, you must obtain the
consent of the heating engineer responsible.
¡ If the exhaust air is conveyed
through the external wall, a telescopic duct should be used.
4.2 Air recirculation mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and an odour filter, and conveyed back into the
room.
To bind odours in circulating-air mode,
you must install an odour filter. The different options for operating the appliance in circulating-air mode can be
found in our catalogue. Alternatively,
ask your dealer. The required accessories are available from specialist retailers, from customer service or from the
Online Shop.
