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
– 650 mm between gas hob (upper edge of
pan support) and the lower edge of the
extractor hood,
(siehe Abbildungen auf Seite 2).
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.
