Warning and safety instructions
This appliance meets statutory
safety requirements. Inappropriate
use could, however, lead to risk of
accidents to the user and damage
to the appliance.
Read the operating instructions be-
fore using this machine for the first
time. They contain important infor-
mation about the safety, use and
maintenance of the machine. This
will avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner of
the machine.
Appropriate use of the cooker
hood
The appliance is intended for do-
mestic use only.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage caused by
improper use or by non-observance of
these instructions.
Technical safety
Before connecting the cooker
hood to the mains supply, make
sure that the voltage and frequency de-
tails given on the data plate corre-
spond with the on-site electricity sup-
ply. If in doubt consult a qualified
electrician.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held respon-
sible for the consequences of an inade-
quate earthing system (eg electric
shock).
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons to en-
sure safety. No responsibility can be
taken by the manufacturer for repairs
and other work by unqualified persons
which could be dangerous.

The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when, depending on the type of con-
nection:
- it is switched off at the fused unit or
the fuse is withdrawn
–it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed
To remove the plug, pull on the plug it-
self, not the cable.
–the mains fuse is withdrawn
–or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Ensure current is not restored to the ap-
pliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the ap-
pliance (eg danger of overheating).
Use of the appliance
Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambéor grill
dishes.
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,
otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the cooker hood, parts of
which could then be damaged.
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.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood with-
out the grease filter in place.
This way you will avoid the risk of
grease and dirt getting into the ap-
pliance and hindering its smooth oper-
ation.
