IMPORTANT SAFET Y 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.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTI ONS
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!
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
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.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Grease deposits in the grease filter can ignite.
Clean the grease filter at least every two months.
Never operate the appliance without the grease filter.
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.
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.
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.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 burners, a
great deal of heat is created. A ventilation device
located above it can become damaged or catch fire.
Never use two gas burners 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
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 followed.
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 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.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang
on any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming
drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the
appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing
severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area where
the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to
play in its vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION
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.
6
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
WARNING
Be sure the entire appliance (including the grease
filters and light bulbs, if applicable) has cooled and
grease has solified before attempting to clean any part
of the appliance.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance.
9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Safe use
WARNING
Do not repair, replace or remove any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended in the
manuals. Improper installation, service or maintenance
can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this
manual for guidance. All other servicing should be done
by an authorized servicer.
WARNING
Risk of injury
Items placed on the appliance may fall down. Do not
place any objects on the appliance.
Proper Installation and Maintenance
Have the installer show you the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
This appliance must be properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician. Connect only to properly
grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for
details.
This appliance is intended for normal family household
use only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the
Statement of Limited Product Warranty. If you have any
questions, contact the manufacturer.
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.
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables or nonfood products in or near this
appliance. It is specifically designed for use when
heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals
in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and
could result in injury.
