IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
unless specifically recommended in this manual. Refer
all servicing to a factory authorized service center.
CAUTION
Grease left on filters can remelt and move into the vent.
Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution
when reaching behind or under appliance.
WARNING
When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode
simultaneously with a different burner which also makes
use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or coal-fired
heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers) care
must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate
supply of fresh air which will be needed by the burner
for combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the under
pressure in the room where the burner is installed does
not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through
non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via
the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical
measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.
WARNING
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide adequate
air intake so combustion gases are not drawn back into
the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no
guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the
combined ventilation system for the entire household
must be taken into consideration. This rule does not
apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as
cooktops and ovens.
WARNING
Mortal danger, risk of poisoning
through back-suctioned combustion gases. Never
operate appliance in exhaust air mode simultaneously
with a fire-powered appliance that relies on ambient air
if sufficient air supply has not been provided for.
8
Fire-powered appliances that rely on ambient air (e.g.
gas, oil, wood or coal-powered heaters, flow heaters,
water heaters) draw on combustion air from the room
where they're installed and direct the exhaust fumes
through an exhaust system (e.g. chimney), out of the
building.
In combination with an activated range hood, ambient
air is drawn from the kitchen and neighboring rooms—
insufficient supply air may cause low pressure.
Poisonous gases from the chimney or exhaust shaft may
be suctioned back into the living space.
▯
That's why sufficient supply air must always be
provided for.
▯
An air supply / exhaust wall duct alone doesn't
ensure adherence to the limit value.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock
through damaged connection cable. Don't bend or
pinch connection cable during installation.
WARNING
Risk of burns, injury
through damaged connection cable. Damaged
connection cable must be replaced by an licensed
specialist (electrician).
WARNING
Risk of injury
From sharp edges during installation. Always wear
protective gloves while installing the appliance.
