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, re, and injury
to persons. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions
must be followed, including those in the following pages.
Proper Installation and Maintenance
WARNING
Remove all tape and packaging before using the appliance. Destroy
the packaging after unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to
play with packaging material.
INSTALLER: Show the owner the location of the circuit breaker or fuse.
Mark it for easy reference.
This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualied
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 Warranty in the Use and Care
Guide. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, ammables or
nonfood products in or near this appliance. It is specically 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.
Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly, or if it has
been damaged. Contact an authorized servicer.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specically
recommended in this manual. Refer all servicing to a factory authorized

CAUTION
Grease left on lters can melt and move into the vent.
WARNING
Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution when reaching
behind or under appliance.
WARNING
Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose
tting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, jewelry or
dangling sleeves.
WARNING
When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with
a different appliance which also makes use of the same chimney (such
as gas, oil or coal-red heaters, continuous-ow 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 appliance for combustion.
This can be achieved if combustion air can ow 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.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock hazard, before installing, switch power off at
the service panel and lock the panel to prevent the power from being
switched on accidentally.
