m Important safety information

Important safety information

Dangerous or explosive materials and vapours

must not be extracted.

Ensure that no small parts or liquids get into the appliance.

m Warning – Danger of suffocation!

Packaging material is dangerous to children. Never allow children to play with packaging material.

m Warning – Danger of death!

Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are drawn back in.

Important safety information

Safe operation is possible only when the partial vacuum in the place where the heat-producing appliance is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved when 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.

Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if the appliance is being operated in exhaust air mode at the same time as room air-dependent heat-producing appliance is being operated.

Room air-dependent heat-producing appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-operated 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 air through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney).

In combination with an activated vapour extractor hood, room air is extracted from the kitchen and neighbouring rooms - a partial vacuum is produced if not enough fresh air is supplied. Toxic gases from the chimney or the extraction shaft are sucked back into the living space.

▯ Adequate incoming air must therefore

always be ensured.

▯ An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will

not ensure compliance with the limit.

In any case, consult your responsible Master Chimney Sweep. He is able to assess the house's entire ventilation setup and will suggest the suitable ventilation measures to you.

Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapour extractor hood is operated exclusively in the circulating-air mode.

m Warning – Risk of fire!

▯ Grease deposits in the grease filter may

catch fire.

Clean the grease filter at least every 2 months.

Never operate the appliance without the grease filter.

Risk of fire!

▯ Grease deposits in the grease filter may

catch fire. Never work with naked flames close to the appliance (e.g. flambéing). Do not install the appliance near a heatproducing appliance for solid fuel (e.g. wood or coal) unless a closed, nonremovable cover is available. There must be no flying sparks.

Risk of fire!

▯ Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never

leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or something similar.

en Causes of damage

Risk of fire!

▯ The grease deposits in the grease filter may

ignite. If the appliance operates beside a gas-fired appliance, a ventilation moulding must be attached when cooking. The ventilation moulding improves the extraction behaviour for gas-fired appliances. The ventilation moulding prevents small flames from going out as a result of a draft.

m Warning – Risk of burns!

The accessible parts become very hot when in operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children at a safe distance.

m Warning – Risk of injury!

Components inside the appliance may have sharp edges. Wear protective gloves.

Causes of damage

Risk of damage due to ingress of humidity into the electronic circuitry. Never clean operator controls with a wet cloth.

Surface damage due to strong or abrasive cleaning agents. Never use strong and abrasive cleaning agents.

m Warning – Risk of electric shock!

▯ A defective appliance may cause electric

shock. Never switch on a defective appliance. Unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.

Risk of electric shock!

▯ Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs

may only be carried out and damaged power cables replaced by one of our trained after-sales technicians. If the appliance is defective, unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.

Risk of electric shock!

▯ Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or

steam cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.

Environmental protection

Environmental protecti on

Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here you can find tips on how to save even more energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose of your appliance properly.

Saving energy

▯ Only switch the ventilation on when necessary. You

do not need to switch the ventilation on when cooking something for a short time that does not have a strong smell.

▯ Select a fan setting according to what you are

cooking.

▯ Switch the ventilation off again after cooking.

▯ Cleaning the grease filter regularly will increase the

efficiency of the ventilation.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

Operating modes

This appliance can be used in air extraction or air recirculation mode depending on the remote fan unit connected.

Exhaust air mode

The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system.

Note: The exhaust air must not be conveyed into a functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue or into a shaft which is used to ventilate installation rooms which contain heating appliances.

▯ Before conveying the exhaust air into a non-

functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, obtain the consent of the heating engineer responsible.

▯ If the exhaust air is conveyed through the outer wall,

a telescopic wall box should be used.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU 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 throughout the EU.

Air recirculation

The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and an activated carbon filter, and is conveyed back into the kitchen.

Note: To bind odours in air recirculation mode, you must install an activated carbon filter. The different options for operating the appliance in air recirculation mode can be found in the brochure. Alternatively, ask your dealer. The required accessories are available from specialist retailers, from customer service or from the Online Shop.
