For all exhaust air ducts, the official regulations must generally be adhered to. In exhaust mode it
has to be ensured, that enough air supply exists.
The joint operation of cooker hoods and stoves using open fire like gas, oil or coal stoves in the same
room are restricted subject to country regulations. We recommend the advice and approval of the
district chimney sweeper or the local building authority.
minimum distances
Distance to an electric hob
From the electric cooking area to the lower edge of the hood a
minimum distance of 600mm must be maintained.
Distance to the gas hob
Between gas hobs (upper edge of pot carrier) and lower edge of
the hood a minimum distance of 700mm should comply.
Other notes
Please take care, that hotplates in operation are always covered, so the device will not be damaged
by excessive heat.
When deep-frying under an extractor hood, the appliance used for frying has to be supervised at all
time during operation.
Oils contained in deep fryers may self-ignite due to overheating. Using old and dirty oil can lead to
this even more easily.
We point out that overheating can cause a fire. Furthermore, we point out expressly that flambé
under the hood is not allowed.
For all work on the cooker hood, even when changing the bulb, the hood has to be de-energized (turn
off circuit breaker or remove the screw fuse from the socket). It is also important to follow the filter
change and cleaning intervals.
Great care must be taken when handling the glass screen. If the glass is broken, cracked or even just
splintered at the edge, immediate replacement is recommended, as there is an increased risk of cuts.
In any case, the same caution and care should be exercised here as is generally the case when
.
working with glass
If ignored, there is an acute fire hazard due to grease deposits!
Energy-saving tips
Preparation, warming and keeping food warm should always be done in pots or pans with closed lids.
The appliance should be switched off immediately after cooking or, if available, the time-delayed
shutdown be used.
The lighting of the appliance should be switched off after the end of cooking.
Pot sizes should be adapted to the diameter of the cooking zones used.
Use the highest motor speed of the unit only at a high concentration of cooking fumes.
To increase the efficiency of the device, regularly clean the grease filters.
Carbon filters (when used in recirculation mode) should be replaced regularly according to the
manufacturer's specifications.
