GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
-This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years
and above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved. Children should not play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be
made by children without supervision.
-Your appliance is produced in accordance with all applicable
local and international standards and regulations.
-The performance of your extractor will vary depending on
a number of factors. These include type of extraction, room
volume, length of ducting, ventilation available and the
cleanliness of the lters.
DURING USE:
-To ensure the best performance, we recommend switching
on the extractor 15 minutes before cooking and leave it
running 15 minutes after. This will ensure that the air in the
kitchen is being circulated before cooking commences and
the air is being cleaned after cooking has nished.
-Do not put ammable or combustible materials on or near
the appliance when it is operating.

-Do not leave the hob unattended while cooking with solid
or liquid oils. They may catch re under extreme heating
conditions. Never pour water on to ames that are caused
by oil, instead switch the hob off and cover the pan with its
lid or a re blanket.
-If the product will not be used for a long period of time, turn
the main control switch off.
-Always position pans over the centre of the cooking zone,
and turn the handles to a safe position so they cannot be
knocked or grabbed.
-Do not operate the appliance without a grease lter.
-When the induction hob is in use, keep objects that are
sensitive to magnetic elds (such as credit cards, bank cards,
watches, and similar items) away from the hob. It is strongly
suggested that anyone with a pacemaker should consult
their cardiologist before using the induction hob.
-Persons with cardiac pacemakers or implanted insulin pumps
must make sure that their implants are not affected by the
induction hob (the frequency range of the induction hob is
20-50 kHz).

elements. Keep children less than 8 years of age away unless
they are continually supervised.

-Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous
and may result in re. NEVER try to extinguish such a re with
water, but switch off the appliance and cover the ame with a
lid or a re blanket.
-The cooking process has to be supervised. A short-term
cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
-Constant supervision is essential when deep-frying; ambéing
is not permitted.
-Danger of re: Do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
-If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the
possibility of electric shock.
-For induction hobs, metallic objects such as knives, forks,
spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob surface
because they can get hot.

immediate vicinity of the induction hob. Caution: Risk of
burns. Non-magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or silver rings) are
not affected.

convection air mode. This is why a sufcient supply of fresh air
must always be provided, e.g. by opening the window or using
a domestic ventilation system.
