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).
