m Important safety information
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 may be used by children over
the age of 8 years old and by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or by persons with a lack of
experience or knowledge if they are
supervised or are instructed by a person
responsible for their safety how to use the
appliance safely and have understood the
associated hazards.
Children must not play with the appliance.
Children must not clean the appliance or carry
out general maintenance unless they are at
least 8 years old and are being supervised.
Keep children below the age of 8 years old at a
safe distance from the appliance and power
cable.
Dangerous or explosive materials and vapours
must not be extracted.
Ensure that no small parts or liquids get into
the appliance.
Check the appliance for damage after
unpacking it. Do not connect the appliance if it
has been damaged in transport.
This appliance is not intended for operation
with an external clock timer or a remote
control.
Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children.
Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
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.
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.
Risk of fire!
▯The grease deposits in the grease filter
may ignite. If the appliance operates
beside a gas-fired appliance, a ventilation
moulding must be attached when cooking.
The ventilation moulding improves the
extraction behaviour for gas-fired
appliances. The ventilation moulding
prevents small flames from going out as a
result of a draft.
Risk of burns!
The accessible parts become very hot when in
operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep
children at a safe distance.
Risk of injury!
Components inside the appliance may have
sharp edges. Wear protective gloves.
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!
▯Penetrating moisture may cause an electric
shock. Do not use any high-pressure
cleaners or steam cleaners.
Causes of damage
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.
