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
•
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 deep-frying. Overheated oil and fat may-
catch fire and damage the hood.
2.4 Air supply
When using a hood sufficient air flow is necessary.
However large your kitchen may be, there is only so
much air available in that space. Opening a door or
window or the installation of a ventilation grid close to
the hood insures a good quality of air flow.
Insufficient air flow will impair the extraction efficiency
of your hood immensely.
Insufficient air flow can cause reflux from other air ducts
such as chimneys or combustion appliances.
When using a cooker hood and appliances using ener-
gy other than electrical in the same space, the pressure
in the room may not surpass 4 Pa (= 0.04mBar).
