installed and discharge the exhaust gases
into the open through an exhaust gas sys-
tem (e.g. a chimney). With the extractor
hood switched on, air is extracted from
the kitchen and the adjacent rooms.
Without an adequate supply of air, the air
pressure falls below atmospheric pres-
sure. Toxic gases from the flue or the ex-
traction shaft are sucked back into the liv-
ing space.
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the
▶
room if the appliance is being operated
in exhaust air mode at the same time
as a room air-dependent heat-produ-
cing appliance is being operated.
It is only possible to safely operate the
▶
appliance if the pressure in the room in
which the heating appliance is installed
does not drop more than
4 Pa (0.04 mbar) below atmospheric
pressure. This can be achieved
whenever the air needed for combus-
tion is able to enter through openings
that cannot be sealed, for example in
doors, windows, in conjunction with in-
coming/exhaust air wall boxes or by
other technical means. An incoming/
exhaust air wall box alone does not en-
sure compliance with the limit.
In any case, consult your responsible
▶
chimney sweep. They are able to as-
sess the house's entire ventilation
setup and will suggest the suitable
ventilation measures to you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the
▶
appliance is operated exclusively in air
recirculation mode.
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
Fatty deposits in the grease filters may
¡
catch fire.
Never operate the appliance without a
▶
grease filter.
Clean the grease filters regularly.
▶
Never work with naked flames close to
▶
the appliance (e.g. flambéing).
Do not install the appliance near a
▶
solid fuel heating appliance (e.g. wood-
or coal-burning) unless the heating ap-
pliance has a sealed, non-removable
cover. There must be no flying sparks.
Hot oil or grease ignites very quickly.
¡
Always supervise hot oil and fat.
▶
Never extinguish burning oil or fat with
▶
water. Switch off the cooking zone. Ex-
tinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire
blanket or something similar.
When gas burners are in operation
¡
without any cookware placed on them,
they can build up a lot of heat. A ventila-
tion appliance installed above the cooker
may become damaged or catch fire.
Only operate the gas burners with
▶
cookware on them.
Operating multiple gas hobs at the same
¡
time generates a great deal of heat. A
ventilation appliance installed above the
cooker may become damaged or catch
fire.
Only operate the gas hobs with cook-
▶
ware on them.
Select the highest fan setting.
▶
Never operate two gas hobs simultan-
▶
eously on the highest flame for longer
than 15 minutes. Two gas hobs corres-
pond to one large burner.
Never operate large burners of more
▶
than 5 kW with the highest flame for
longer than 15 minutes, e.g. a wok.
WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
The accessible parts of the appliance be-
¡
come hot during operation.
Never touch these hot parts.
▶
Keep children at a safe distance.
▶
The appliance will become hot during op-
¡
eration.
Allow the appliance to cool down be-
▶
fore cleaning it.
WARNING ‒ Risk of injury!
Components inside the appliance may
¡
have sharp edges.
Carefully clean the appliance interior.
▶
Items placed on the appliance may fall
¡
off.
Do not place any objects on the appli-
▶
ance.
