1. Important notes

For your safety

Do not operate the appliance if it is damaged.

The appliance must only be connected by
an authorised specialist, paying attention to
the relevant regulations of the power supply
companies and the regional construction
regulations.
Observe the assembly instructions!

Make sure that connecting cables do not come into
contact with hot cooking surfaces.

Do not use to extract hazardous or explosive
substances and vapours!

As the user, you are responsible for maintenance
and proper use in the household.

Do not operate the appliance without a grease filter.
Only operate the appliance under supervision. The

appliance is intended solely for use in the
household and must not be put to any other uses.

Caution! Over-greased filters are a fire risk! Clean

the grease filter on a regular basis.
Do not clean the appliance with a steam cleaning

apparatus or with water pressure because this
poses a risk of short-circuits.

Isolate the appliance from the mains during every
maintenance operation. To do this, remove the
mains plug or actuate the corresponding fuse. If the
mains plug is not accessible, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains by means of the
domestic fuse.

Fire risk! It is not permitted to flambé meals next

to a hob ventilator that is in operation.
Only use a grill or a deep fryer at the same time as

the hob ventilator if it is under constant supervision.

This will involve a fire risk!

Do not place any objects on the appliance; this will

interfere with the functioning of the appliance.
If you have installed a gas appliance between the

hob extractors VL 430/431, the gas hob has to be
fitted with two air baffles LS 330 on the side of the
hob while cooking. The air baffles not only improve
the airflow of the extractor next to a gas appliance,
but also prevent a flame which has been set to a
low level from being extinguished. If you have
installed the hob extractor only on one side of the
gas appliance, it is sufficient to fit one air baffle
LS 330 on the side facing the extractor.

Note: do not operate this appliance next to a

VG 411 gas cooker.

No warranty claims can be lodged in the event

of damage caused by failure to observe these
instructions.

Technical modifications reserved.
