Safety Warnings - AEG DE3161-ML Mode D'emploi

Safety warnings

• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a hose
having preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole.
Should there already be a pipe of diameter 100 mm that ducts to
the outside through the walls or roof, it is possible to use the 125/
100 mm reduction flange provided. In this case the hood will be
slightly noisier.
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased
separately.
• The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the
cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood
must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and 70cm from
gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater
distance, this must be adhered to.
• Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the hood
from the mains by removing the plug or disconnecting the home
mains switch.
• The appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with
impaired physical, sensorial or mental faculties, or if lacking in
experience or know-how, unless they are under supervision or have
been trained in the use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
• Children should be monitored to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
• Never use the hood without effectively mounted grating.!
• The hood must NEVER be used as a support surface unless
specifically indicated.
• The premises must be sufficiently ventilated, when the kitchen hood
is used together with other gas combustion devices or other fuels.
• The suctioned air must not be conveyed into a conduit used for the
disposal of the fumes generated by appliances that combust gases
or other fuels.
• The flaming of foods beneath the hood itself is severely prohibited.
• The use of exposed flames is detrimental to the filters and may
cause a fire risk, and must therefore be avoided in all
circumstances.
• Any frying must be done with care in order to make sure that the oil
does not overheat and burst into flames.
• As regards the technical and safety measures to be adopted for
fume discharging it is important to closely follow the relations
provided by the competent authorities.
