9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTION READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
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, fire, and
injury to persons. When using kitchen appliances,
basic safety precautions must be followed, including
those in the following pages.
General notes
Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event
of transport damage, do not plug it in.
Fire Safety
Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low
or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat.
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a
naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood
draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due
to deposits on the grease filter!
CAUTION
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug.
Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility
for examination and/or repair.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
‒SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,
cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If
the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE
AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
‒NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be
burned.
‒DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths
or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
‒Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
‒You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,
and you already know how to operate it.
‒The fire is small and contained in the area
where it started.
‒The fire department is being called
‒You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the
appliance.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Grease deposits in the grease filter can ignite.
Clean the grease filter at least every two months.
Never operate the appliance without the grease filter.
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.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Risk of fire
When gas burners are in operation without any
cookware placed on them, they can build up a lot of
heat. A ventilation appliance installed above the
cooker may become damaged or catch fire. Only
operate the gas burners with cookware on them.
WARNING
Risk of fire
During simultaneous use of multiple gas cooktops, a
great deal of heat is created. A ventilation device
located above it can become damaged or catch fire.
Never use two gas cooktops together at maximum heat
for longer than 15 minutes. One large burner with over
17,000 Btu/hr (5 kW) (wok) is equal to the wattage of
two gas burners.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Operating several gas burners at the same time gives
rise to a great deal of heat. The ventilation appliance
may become damaged or catch fire. The ventilation
appliance must only be combined with gas burners
that do not exceed the maximum total output of 61,000
Btu/hr (18 kW). If 41,000 Btu/hr (12 kW) is exceeded,
the local regulations concerning room ventilation,
room size, and combination with ventilation devices in
exhaust and recirculating operation must be heeded.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Hot oil and fat catch fire fast. Never leave hot oil and
fat unsupervised. Never extinguish a fire with water.
Switch off the cooking position. Suffocate flames
carefully with a lid, a fire blanket or similar.
Burn Prevention
WARNING
Risk of burns
The accessible parts get hot during operation. Never
touch hot parts. Keep children away.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents
or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified persons.
Remove all tape and packaging before using the
appliance. Destroy the packaging after unpacking the
appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang
on any part of an appliance, especially a door,
warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage
the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially
causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the
appliance is in use.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to
reach items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
WARNING
Be sure the entire appliance (including the grease
filters and light bulbs, if applicable) has cooled and
grease has solified before attempting to clean any
part of the appliance.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Safe use
WARNING
Do not repair, replace or remove any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended in the
manuals. Improper installation, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage.
Refer to this manual for guidance. All other servicing
should be done by a qualified technician.
WARNING
Risk of injury
Items placed on the appliance may fall down. Do not
place any objects on the appliance.
Proper Installation and Maintenance
Have the installer show you the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
This appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualified 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. If you have any questions,
contact the manufacturer.
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables or nonfood products in or near this
appliance. It is specifically 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 specifically recommended in this manual. Refer
all servicing to a factory authorized service center.
CAUTION
Grease left on filters can remelt and move into the
vent.
Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution
when reaching behind or under appliance.
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.
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.

AVERTISSEMENT
Votre nouvel appareil a été conçu pour un
fonctionnement sûr et fiable si vous en prenez bien
soin. Lire attentivement toutes les consignes avant
l'emploi. Ces précautions réduiront les risques de
brûlures, de choc électrique, d'incendie et de lésions
corporelles. Lors de l'utilisation d'un appareil
électroménager, quelques précautions de sécurité
élémentaires doivent être observées, y compris celles
qui figurent aux pages suivantes.
Instructions générales
Contrôler l'appareil après l'avoir déballé. Si l'appareil
a été endommagé durant le transport, ne pas le
brancher.
Sécurité-incendie
Toujours avoir un détecteur de fumée en état de
marche près de la cuisine.
AVERTISSEMENT
POUR RÉDUIRE LE RISQUE D'INCENDIE DE
GRAISSE DE CUISINIÈRE:
a) Ne laissez jamais la surface de cuisson sans
surveillance à des températures élevées. Les
débordements causent de la fumée et les résidus
graisseux peuvent s'enflammer.. Faites chauffer
les huiles lentement à feu doux ou moyen.
b) Faites toujours fonctionner la hotte lorsque vous
cuisinez à feu vif.
c) Nettoyez les ventilateurs régulièrement. Ne
laissez pas la graisse s'accumuler sur le
ventilateur ou sur le filtre.
d) Utilisez des casseroles de taille appropriée.
Utilisez toujours des récipients adaptés à la taille
de la surface de cuisson.
Ne flambez jamais sous la hotte aspirante et ne
travaillez jamais avec une flamme nue. Une hotte
aspirante en marche aspire les flammes dans le filtre.
Une hotte aspirante en marche aspire les flammes
dans le filtre. Ne flambez jamais sous la hotte
aspirante et ne travaillez jamais avec une flamme nue.
Une hotte aspirante en marche aspire les flammes
dans le filtre. Les dépôts de graisse sur les filtre
risquent alors de s'enflammer!
ATTENTION
Appareil conçu exclusivement pour la ventilation
générale. Ne pas utiliser pour évacuer des matières et
vapeurs dangereuses ou explosives.
Ne pas mettre l'aérateur en marche si le cordon ou le
connecteur d'alimentation sont endommagés. Mettre
l'aérateur au rebut ou bien l'envoyer à un service
après-vente agréé pour le contrôler et (ou) le réparer.
Si des vêtements s’enflamment, rouler par terre
immédiatement pour éteindre les flammes.
Étouffez les flammes d'un feu d'aliments autre qu'un
feu de graisse à l'aide de bicarbonate de soude. Ne
jamais utiliser d'eau sur les feux de cuisson.
AVERTISSEMENT
POUR RÉDUIRE LE RISQUE DE LÉSIONS
CORPORELLES EN CAS D'UN FEU DE FRITURE
SUR UNE CUISINIÈRE, OBSERVER CE QUI SUIT :
‒ÉTOUFFER LES FLAMMES à l'aide d'un
couvercle bien hermétique, d'une tôle à biscuits
ou d'un plateau en métal, puis éteindre le brûleur.
FAIRE ATTENTION À NE PAS SE BRÛLER. Si les
flammes ne s'éteignent pas immédiatement,
ÉVACUER LES LIEUX ET FAIRE APPEL AU
SERVICE D'INCENDIE.
‒NE JAMAIS SOULEVER UNE POÊLE EN
FLAMMES – Vous pourriez vous brûler.
‒NE PAS UTILISER D'EAU, y compris les chiffons
ou serviettes mouillées - une violente explosion
de vapeur pourrait se produire.
‒Utiliser UNIQUEMENT un extincteur si :
‒Vous savez que vous avez un extincteur de
classe ABC et comment l'utiliser.
‒Le feu est petit et circonscrit à la zone où il a
débuté.
‒Le service d'incendie est appelé.
‒Si l'on peut combattre le feu en ayant le dos
vers une sortie.
Veillez à avoir à portée de main un extincteur
d'incendie en bon état de marche, placé visiblement
près de l'appareil et facile d'accès.
Dans la mesure du possible, ne pas faire fonctionner
le système de ventilation lorsqu'un feu se déclenche
sur une table de cuisson. Toutefois, ne pas passer la
main à travers le feu pour mettre le système de
ventilation hors tension.

AVERTISSEMENT
Risque d'incendie
Les dépôts se trouvant dans le filtre à graisse peuvent
s'enflammer. Ne jamais cuisiner à proximité de
l'appareil avec une flamme ouverte (par exemple pour
faire flamber). Installer l'appareil près d'un foyer pour
combustibles solides (bois ou charbon par exemple)

AVERTISSEMENT
Risque d’incendie
Les brûleurs gaz dégagent une forte chaleur
lorsqu'aucun récipient n'est posé dessus. Ils peuvent
alors endommager les appareils de ventilation. Utiliser
les brûleurs gaz uniquement lorsqu'un récipient est
placé dessus.
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque d'incendie
Lors du fonctionnement simultané de plusieurs foyers
gaz il y a une forte production de chaleur. Un appareil
de ventilation monté au-dessus peut être endommagé
ou prendre feu. Ne faites jamais fonctionner en même
temps deux foyers gaz à feu vif pendant plus de
15 minutes. Un brûleur grande puissance de plus de
17,000 Btu/hr (5 kW) (wok) chauffe autant que deux
brûleurs gaz.
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque d’incendie
Le fonctionnement simultané de plusieurs feux gaz
engendre une forte production de chaleur. Le cas
échéant, l'appareil de ventilation peut être
endommagé ou s'enflammer. L'appareil de ventilation
doit uniquement être combiné avec des feux gaz dont
la puissance totale maximale ne dépasse pas
61,000 Btu/hr (18 kW). Si la puissance maximale
dépasse 41,000 Btu/hr (12 kW), les prescriptions
locales en matière de ventilation, de volume de la
pièce et de combinaison avec des appareils de
ventilation en mode aspiration ou ventilation doivent
être observées.
