safety
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:
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).
