safety instructions
• Please read these instructions before operating the appliance and
retain for future use.
• The appliance is intended solely for domestic use within the home. The
appliance is suitable for extraction of air to the outside or for recirculation.
• Before plugging into a socket, check that the voltage in your home
corresponds with the voltage printed on the bottom of the appliance.
• This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and over, as well by
people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, provided they are supervised and instructed in
the safe use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved. Do not
allow children to play with the appliance. Do not allow children to clean or
maintain the appliance unless supervised.

Life-threatening: danger of poisoning through backdrafting of
combustion gasses!
• Never use the appliance to extract air while using a cooker that consumes
air from the room, unless the room is sufficiently ventilated. Cooking
appliances that consume air in the room (such as equipment that heats
using gas, oil, wood or coal, geysers, hot water appliances) draw the
combustion air out of the room and carry these gasses outside via the
outlet (eg. chimney). In combination with an activated cooker hood, air is
withdrawn from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms. This creates negative
pressure if there is insufficient air supply. Poisonous gasses from the
chimney or outlet channel are then backdrafted into the living area. Always
provide adequate ventilation!
• The maximum permitted negative pressure is 4 Pa.
• Local regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fullfilled.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote control system.
• In relation with electrical safety, the appliance shall not be cleaned with high-
pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
• Warning: Avoid the risk of electric shock; make sure the appliance is
switched off before replacing the lighting or cleaning the appliance.
• Do not use the cooker hood if the grease filter has not been fitted properly!
• Do not lean against the cooker hood.
