Proper use
•Clean theextractor hood thoroughly before
using forthe first time.
•Before cleaning and servicing theextractor
hood, isolate it from the power supply by pulling
out the mains plug or switching off the fuse.
•Bulbs (especially halogen bulbs) become very
hot during operation. Even some time afterthe
appliance has been switched off, there is still a
risk of burns!
•Before changing bulbs, isolate theextractor
hood from the power supply and leave the bulbs
to cool down!
•Do not operate theextractor hood without bulbs
inserted.
•Always switch on theextractor hood if a
hotplate is being used. If theextractor hood is
not switched on, condensation may form. As a
result, the appliance may corrode.
•Do not place any objects
on theextractor hood.
RISK OF FIRE
Do not flambé under theextractor hood or work
with a naked flame. When switched on, the
extractor hood draws flames into the filter. There is
arisk of fire due to deposits on thegrease filter!
•Do not leave pans, frying pans or deep-fat
fryers unattended if you are cooking food with
oils or fats, e.g. chips. Overheated oils or fats
can easily ignite!
•Arisk of fire can be prevented by cleaning the
grease filters regularly and changing the
activated-carbon filter in good time.
•Never operate theextractor hood without
grease filters.
Correct installation
•Check the manufacturer’s specifications forthe
cooker to determine whether an extractor hood
can be operated over it.
•If the manufacturer of the cooker has not
specified any significant safety distances, the
following minimum distances apply
–600 mm between electric hob and the lower
edge of theextractor hood, Fig. 1.
–700 mm between gas hob (upper edge of pan
support) and the lower edge of theextractor
hood, Fig. 1.
•If various cookers are used, thegreatest
indicated distance applies.
•The width of theextractor hood must
correspond to the width of the cooking area.
•The extractor hood must not be installed over a
solid fuel heating appliance which may be a fire
risk (e.g. flying sparks) unless the heating
appliance has a closed, non-detachable cover
and the country-specific regulations are
observed. This restriction does not apply to gas
cookers and gas hobs.
•To avoid damaging the hob, cover it when
installing theextractor hood.
