CAUTION
Grease left on filters can melt and move into the vent.
WARNING
Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution when reaching
behind or under appliance.
WARNING
Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose
fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, jewelry or
dangling sleeves.
WARNING
When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with
a different appliance 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 appliance for combustion.
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
To avoid electrical shock hazard, before installing, switch power off at
the service panel and lock the panel to prevent the power from being
switched on accidentally.
