PRELIMINARY REMARKS

Safety information

These operating and installation instructions contain important information that must
be observed to ensure safe and reliable operation of the extractor hood. Please store
them in a safe place for future reference. These operating instructions refer to several
versions of the appliance. They may contain descriptions of certain features not found
on your model. The extractor hood must not be used by persons (incl. children) with
impaired physical or mental capabilities or persons who lack experience and/or know-
ledge of how to use it. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
Intended use
The extractor hood may only be used to extract kitchen vapours above the cooking
appliances in private households. Any other use will be deemed to be improper. Impro-
per use of the hood may pose a danger to persons and objects. The extractor hood must
not be used as a shelf to store objects such as bottles, spice jars or other loose objects.
Installation
The appliance may only be installed and connected by an authorised technician obser-
ving all relevant regulations of the electric utility companies and the applicable building
regulations. During installation, observe the relevant instructions! Damaged appliances
may not be put into operation. Defective parts must be replaced with genuine
parts. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised technical staff.
Danger of intoxication!
If the extractor hood is operated in extraction mode at the same time as other room-air-
dependent fire appliances (e.g. wood, gas, oil or coal-fired appliances) in the same room,
lethal combustion gases may be directed back into the room due to the resulting negati-
ve pressure. For this reason, you must ensure a sufficient air supply at all times! The
negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (0.04mbar).
Please make sure that your extractor fan is fitted with an properly installed
window contact (applies to exhaust air operation).
Fire hazard!
The extractor hood must never be operated without the grease filter and must always
be used under supervision. Filters that are saturated with grease can pose a fire hazard!
Keep the extractor hood under constant supervision when deep-frying! Remember to
clean out the filters regularly. Flambéing under the extractor hood is not allowed! Gas
appliances may only be used under the extractor hood with saucepans placed over
them! If you are using more than three gas rings at the same time, operate the extractor
hood at power level "2" or higher. This prevents the build-up of heat in the appliance.
Preparing for use
The extractor hood model complies with the relevant safety regulations for kitchen
appliances in private households. The requirements regarding the installation location
are described in the user documentation supplied with the appliance. If you have any
doubts as to whether your intended installation location meets the requirements,
please contact our service department. Damaged appliances may not
be put into operation. Defective parts must be replaced with genuine
spare parts or parts specified by GUTMANN. Repairs should only be
carried out by authorised technical staff.
