Warning and Safety instructions
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– It is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug withdrawn,
– The fuse from the fused spur
connection unit is withdrawn,
– The mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– Thescrew-out fuseisremoved(in
countries where this is applicable).
Do not connect the appliance
to the mains electricity supply by
an extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to
infestation bycockroachesorothervermin,
payparticular attention to keeping
the appliance and its surroundings in
a clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.
Never use an open flame
beneath the cooker hood. To
avoid the danger of fire, do not
flambé or grill over an open flame
under the cooker hood. When switched
on, the cooker hood could draw flames
into the filter. Fat particles drawn into
the cooker hood present a fire
hazard.
When using the cooker hood over a
gas hob, ensure that any burners in use
are always covered by a pan. The
burner should be switched off before
taking a pan off the hob, even for
brief periods.
Regulate the flames so that they do
not extend beyond the base of the pan.
If flames are not covered by a pan
excessive heat can build up in the
cooker hood with the risk of damage to
the motor unit.
Always switch the cooker hood on when
a cooking zone is in use, otherwise
condensation may collect in the hood,
which could cause corrosion.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip
pans and deep fat fryers etc, do not
leave the pans unattended. Never leave
an open grill unattended when grilling.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood without the
grease filters in place. This way you
will avoid the risk of grease and dirt
getting into the appliance and
hindering its smooth operation.
The grease filter should be
regularly cleaned. A saturated
filter is a fire hazard. See "Cleaning
and care”. For further information.
Do not use a steam-cleaner to
clean this appliance. Pressurised
steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
Never use spray cleaners directly
around the controls or buttons, this
could also cause damage to the
internal circuit board.
