9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
9 WARNING
The applicable regulations of the
energy supply companies and the
regional construction regulations
must be observed when installing
the hood.
9 WARNING
Risk of fire!
If the downdraft ventilator is installed
next to a gas appliance, an air baffle
must be used (available as
accessory). This prevents the flame
from being drawn into the fan. Thus,
a filter soaked in grease cannot be
ignited by the gas flame.
9 WARNING
9 WARNING
Fire risk!
Grease deposits in the grease filter
can ignite. If the appliance is used
next to a gas appliance, a ventilation
molding must be fitted during
cooking. The ventilation molding
improves extraction when using gas
appliances. The ventilation molding
prevents extinction of small flames
due to the draft.
9 WARNING
To reduce risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air
outside. Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls, ceilings, attics,
crawl spaces or garages.
Risk of injury!
From sharp edges during
installation. Always wear protective
gloves while installing the appliance.
9 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 WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
9 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.
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.
9 CAUTION
For general ventilating use only. Do
not use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials and vapors.
Appliance Handling Safety
Unit is heavy and requires at least two people or proper equipment to move.
Hidden surfaces may have sharp
edges. Use caution when
reaching behind or under
appliance.
9 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.
9 WARNING
Risk of injury!
The appliance may fall from the wall
if it is not attached properly. All
fastening components must be fixed
firmly and securely in place.
9 WARNING
Risk of tipping over!
The appliance is very narrow and can
tip over easily. Do not place
appliance upright on the floor. Place
the appliance flat on the floor.
