Proper use
•
Clean the extractor hood thoroughly before
using for the first time.
•
Before cleaning and servicing the extractor
hood, isolate it from the power supply by pulling
out the mains plug or switching off the fuse.
•
Bulbs (especially halogen bulbs) become very
hot during operation. Even some time after the
appliance has been switched off, there is still a
risk of burns!
•
Before changing bulbs, isolate the extractor
hood from the power supply and leave the bulbs
to cool down!
•
Do not operate the extractor hood without bulbs
inserted.
•
Always switch on the extractor hood if a
hotplate is being used. If the extractor hood is
not switched on, condensation may form. As a
result, the appliance may corrode.
•
Do not place any objects
on the extractor hood.
RISK OF FIRE
Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work
with a naked flame. When switched on, the
extractor hood draws flames into the filter. There is
a risk of fire due to deposits on the grease filter!
•
Do not leave pans, frying pans or deep-fat
fryers unattended if you are cooking food with
oils or fats, e.g. chips. Overheated oils or fats
can easily ignite!
•
A risk of fire can be prevented by cleaning the
grease filters regularly and changing the
activated-carbon filter in good time.
•
Never operate the extractor hood without
grease filters.
Correct installation
•
Check the manufacturer's specifications for the
cooker to determine whether an extractor hood
can be operated over it.
•
If the manufacturer of the cooker has not
specified any significant safety distances, the
following minimum distances apply
– 550 mm between electric hob and the lower
edge of the extractor hood, Fig. 1.
– 650 mm between gas hob (upper edge of pan
support) and the lower edge of the extractor
hood, Fig. 1.
•
If various cookers are used, the greatest
indicated distance applies.
•
The width of the extractor hood must
correspond to the width of the cooking area.
•
The extractor hood must not be installed over a
solid fuel heating appliance which may be a fire
risk (e.g. flying sparks) unless the heating
appliance has a closed, non-detachable cover
and the country-specific regulations are
observed. This restriction does not apply to gas
cookers and gas hobs.
•
To avoid damaging the hob, cover it when
installing the extractor hood.
