Precautions you must take
Have the appliance connected by a
qualified fitter (see section "Installation").
The power supply must be disconnected
before the appliance is cleaned or
repaired. Remove the plug from the socket
or switch the electricity off at the mains.
When cooking, the hob becomes hot,
children should always be kept at a
distance.
Fats and oils become inflammable on
overheating. Never leave such foods
unattended during preparation.
We advise you to switch the cooker hood
on before you start cooking. Leave the
cooker hood on for another 5 minutes or so
after you have finished cooking.
A grease-saturated filter mat is
inflammable, so never flambé under the
cooker hood, and clean the filter regularly.
Replacing the light bulbs: first switch the
electricity off! Only use the same sort of
light bulbs with the same Wattage.
Extraction systems
Some cooker hoods can be connected in one
of two ways (see fig. 1):
To a duct (A), the cooking vapours
extracted by suction are carried outside,
once the grease particles have been
filtered. This is the best method.
As a recirculation hood, the grease
particles and the smell in the extracted
vapours are filtered and the air streams
back into the kitchen through the
opening (B).
