2. SAFETY
2.1 Precautions before using
• Do not change or alter the appliance.
• The appliance must be grounded and connected
conforming to local standards.
• Do not use any extension cable to connect it.
2.2 Using the appliance
• When using the hood, there must always be a suf-
ficient, continuous supply of fresh air in the room.
Fresh air can be supplied by opening a window or
outside door slightly, or by installing an inlet grille.
No matter how big the kitchen or the space with the
open kitchen, the amount of air that can be extract-
ed is limited to the amount of air that can be fed into

it. An insufficient air supply can result in a 50% loss
of efficiency or more.
An insufficient air supply can cause repercussions
in other existing exhaust channels, such as the flue
of a fireplace or other combustion appliances. This
causes a risk of poisonous and combustible gases
being drawn back into the living space. When using
the same energy source, other than electricity, for
the hood and devices, the negative pressure in the
room must not exceed 4 Pa (= 0.04 mbar).
• This hood is equipped with a connection for a con-
tact window switch. If the hood is to work simultane-
ously with a heating appliance that pulls air from the
room, and if the required supply of fresh air can only
be through an open window, it is possible to connect
a window contact switch (not supplied) to the hood.
This ensures the hood only works if the window is
open. When the window is closed, the fan can not be
turned on. A window contact cable set is available
as an accessory (part number 990.033).
•
Under no circumstances is it allowed to flambé
under the hood
• Deep frying under the hood is only allowed under
constant supervision.
• In case of fire always switch off the hood.
• Never extinguish burning fat or oil with water. Cover
the pot with a well fitting lid or a burnblanket.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8
years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a
safe way and understand the hazards involved
• Activate the hood a few minutes prior to cooking.
• Switch the hood off 10 minutes after cooking is fin-
ished. The delay function is set to 10 minutes. Use
the delay function.
• Avoid drafts under the hood surface.
• When cooking make sure pots are positioned prop-
erly under the hood surface.
• When using induction: adapt the intensity of both
hob and hood to the lowest possible level in order to
avoid excessive creation of damp fumes.
• Attention, certain accessible parts of the hood can
become hot while cooking.
2.3 Precautions not to damage the appliance
• The mounting instructions describe the correct way
of mounting. Carefully read these instructions.
• Check the distance between the cooking surface
and the hood. The minimum and maximum heights
are indicated in the mounting instructions.
• Never use the hood without the fat filters in order to
prevent dirt and fat from further entering the hood,
which will eventually affect the performance and
functioning of the hood.
• Always stay around when you are frying, roasting,
grilling of deepfrying. Overheated oil and fat may-
catch fire and damage the hood.
