Safety during operation

Risk of burns!
Due to a hot appliance when using it
with cooking appliances. Keep children away and pay
attention to correct use.
Risk of injury and risk of damage!
placed on the appliance. Never place items on the
appliance.
Fire risk!
An air baffle (LS 041 000) must be used if
the hob ventilators VL 040/041 are operated next to a
gas appliance. In this way, the flame cannot be drawn
into the ventilator. This avoids ignition of a filter
impregnated with grease by the gas flame.
risk of fire!
Flames can be sucked into the ventilation.
Never flambé meals next to a hob ventilator that is in
operation.
Risk of fire, risk of burns!
without pots and pans placed on them. Always use gas
cookers with suitable pots and pans. Regulate the
flame so that it does not lash beyond pots and pans.
Risk of injury!
Never extract dangerous or explosive
substances or vapours.
Risk of short circuit!
The cable insulation of
electrical appliances can melt. Under no cirumstances
place the mains cable on the burners when they are

Fire risk!
Over-greased filters are a fire risk! Never
deep fry or grill next to the appliance without
supervision. Pay attention to regular grease filter
cleaning.
Mortal danger, risk of intoxication!
combustion gases sucked back in. Never operate the
appliance in the exhaust air mode at the same time as
a room air-dependent heat-producing appliance
unless an adequate supply of fresh air is ensured.
Room air-dependent heat-producing appliances (e.g.
gas, oil, wood or coal-operated heaters, continuous
flow heaters or water heaters, hobs and ovens) obtain
combustion air from the room in which they are
installed and discharge the exhaust gases into the
open through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney).
In combination with an activated vapour extractor
hood, room air is extracted from the kitchen and
neighbouring rooms - a partial vacuum is produced if
not enough fresh air is supplied. Toxic gases from the
chimney or the extraction shaft are sucked back into
the living space.
▯
Adequate incoming air must therefore always be
ensured.
▯
An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will not
ensure compliance with the limit.
Safe operation is possible only whenever the partial
vacuum in the place where the hearth is installed does
not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved
whenever the air needed for combustion is able to
enter through openings that cannot be sealed, for
example in doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall
boxes or by other technical means.
