m ( Important safety
information
Importantsafetyinformation Read these instructions carefully. Only then will
you be able to operate your appliance safely
and correctly. Retain the instruction manual
and installation instructions for future use or for
subsequent owners.
The appliance can only be used safely if it is
correctly installed according to the safety
instructions. The installer is responsible for
ensuring that the appliance works perfectly at
its installation location.
This appliance is intended for domestic use
and the household environment only. The
appliance is not intended for use outside. Do
not leave the appliance unattended during
operation. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage which is caused by improper use or
incorrect operation.
This appliance is intended for use up to a
maximum height of 2000 metres above sea
level.
This appliance is not intended for use by

Important safety information en
Check the appliance for damage after
unpacking it. Do not connect the appliance if it
has been damaged in transport.
Only a licensed professional may connect
appliances without plugs. Damage caused by
incorrect connection is not covered under
warranty.
mWarning – Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children.
Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
mWarning – Danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are
drawn back in.
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if
the appliance is being operated in exhaust air
mode at the same time as room air-dependent
heat-producing appliance is being operated.
Room air-dependent heat-producing
appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-operated
heaters, continuous flow heaters or water
heaters) obtain combustion air from the room
in which they are installed and discharge the
exhaust gases into the open air through an
exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney).
In combination with an activated vapour
extractor hood, room air is extracted from the
kitchen and neighbouring rooms - a partial
vacuum is produced if not enough fresh air is
supplied. Toxic gases from the chimney or the
extraction shaft are sucked back into the living
space.
▯Adequate incoming air must therefore
always be ensured.
▯An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will
not ensure compliance with the limit.
Safe operation is possible only when the partial
vacuum in the place where the heat-producing
appliance is installed does not exceed 4 Pa
(0.04 mbar). This can be achieved when the air
needed for combustion is able to enter through
openings that cannot be sealed, for example in
doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall
boxes or by other technical means.
In any case, consult your responsible Master
Chimney Sweep. He is able to assess the
house's entire ventilation setup and will
suggest the suitable ventilation measures to
you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapour
extractor hood is operated exclusively in the
circulating-air mode.
mWarning – Risk of fire!
▯Grease deposits in the grease filter may
catch fire.
Clean the grease filter at least every
2 months.
Never operate the appliance without the
grease filter.
Risk of fire!
▯Grease deposits in the grease filter may
catch fire. Never work with naked flames
close to the appliance (e.g. flambéing). Do
not install the appliance near a heat-
producing appliance for solid fuel (e.g.
wood or coal) unless a closed, non-
removable cover is available. There must be
no flying sparks.
Risk of fire!
▯Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never
leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use
water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch
off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully
using a lid, fire blanket or something
similar.

en Important safety information
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.
Risk of fire!
▯Operating several gas burners at the same
time gives rise to a great deal of heat. A
ventilation appliance installed above the
cooker may become damaged or catch fire.
Never operate two gas burners
simultaneously on the highest flame for
longer than 15 minutes. One large burner
of more than 5 kW (wok) is equivalent to
the power of two gas burners.
mWarning – Risk of burns!
The accessible parts become very hot when in
operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep
children at a safe distance.
mWarning – Risk of injury!
▯Components inside the appliance may have
sharp edges. Wear protective gloves.
Risk of injury!
▯Items placed on the appliance may fall
down. Do not place any objects on the
appliance.
Risk of injury!
▯The light emitted by LED lights is very
dazzling, and can damage the eyes (risk
group 1). Do not look directly into the
switched on LED lights for longer than
100 seconds.
mWarning – Risk of electric shock!
▯A defective appliance may cause electric
shock. Never switch on a defective
appliance. Unplug the appliance from the
mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the
fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
Risk of electric shock!
▯Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs
may only be carried out and damaged
power cables replaced by one of our
trained after-sales technicians. If the
appliance is defective, unplug the
appliance from the mains or switch off the
circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the
after-sales service.
Risk of electric shock!
▯Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or
steam cleaners, which can result in an
electric shock.
Causes of damage
Caution!
Risk of damage due to corrosion. Always
switch on the appliance while cooking to avoid
condensation. Condensate can produce
corrosion damage.
Always replace faulty bulbs to prevent the
remaining bulbs from overloading.
Risk of damage due to ingress of humidity into
the electronic circuitry. Never clean operator
controls with a wet cloth.
Surface damage due to incorrect cleaning.
Clean stainless steel surfaces in the direction
of the grain only. Do not use any stainless steel
cleaners for operator controls.
Surface damage due to strong or abrasive
cleaning agents. Never use strong and abrasive
cleaning agents.
Risk of damage from returning condensate.
