heaters or water heaters) obtain combus-
tion air from the room in which they are
installed and discharge the exhaust gases
into the open through an exhaust gas sys-
tem (e.g. a chimney). With the extractor
hood switched on, air is extracted from
the kitchen and the adjacent rooms.
Without an adequate supply of air, the air
pressure falls below atmospheric pres-
sure. Toxic gases from the flue or the ex-
traction shaft are sucked back into the liv-
ing space.
▶ Always ensure adequate fresh air in the
room if the appliance is being operated
in exhaust air mode at the same time
as a room air-dependent heat-produ-
cing appliance is being operated.
▶ It is only possible to safely operate the
appliance if the pressure in the room in
which the heating appliance is installed
does not drop more than
4 Pa (0.04 mbar) below atmospheric
pressure. This can be achieved
whenever the air needed for combus-
tion is able to enter through openings
that cannot be sealed, for example in
doors, windows, in conjunction with in-
coming/exhaust air wall boxes or by
other technical means. An incoming/
exhaust air wall box alone does not en-
sure compliance with the limit.
▶ In any case, consult your responsible
chimney sweep. They are able to as-
sess the house's entire ventilation
setup and will suggest the suitable
ventilation measures to you.
▶ Unrestricted operation is possible if the
appliance is operated exclusively in air
recirculation mode.
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
¡ Fatty deposits in the grease filters may
catch fire.
▶ Never operate the appliance without a
grease filter.
▶ Clean the grease filters regularly.
▶ Never work with naked flames close to
the appliance (e.g. flambéing).
▶ Do not install the appliance near a
solid fuel heating appliance (e.g. wood-
or coal-burning) unless the heating ap-
pliance has a sealed, non-removable
cover. There must be no flying sparks.
¡ Hot oil or grease ignites very quickly.
▶ Always supervise hot oil and fat.
▶ Never extinguish burning oil or fat with
water. Switch off the cooking zone. Ex-
tinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire
blanket or something similar.
¡ When gas burners are in operation
without any cookware placed on them,
they can build up a lot of heat. A ventila-
tion appliance installed above the cooker
may become damaged or catch fire.
▶ Only operate the gas burners with
cookware on them.
¡ Gas burners can build up a lot of heat
while operating. A ventilation appliance in-
stalled above the cooker may become
damaged or catch fire.
▶ Only operate the gas burners with
cookware on them.
▶ Set at least fan setting 3.
▶ Never operate large burners of more
than 5 kW with the highest flame for
longer than 15 minutes, e.g. a wok.
WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
The accessible parts of the appliance be-
come hot during operation.
▶ Never touch these hot parts.
▶ Keep children at a safe distance.
WARNING ‒ Risk of injury!
¡ Components inside the appliance may
have sharp edges.
▶ Carefully clean the appliance interior.
¡ Items placed on the appliance may fall
off.
▶ Do not place any objects on the appli-
ance.
¡ Changes to the electrical or mechanical
assembly are dangerous and may lead to
malfunctions.
▶ Do not make any changes to the elec-
trical or mechanical assembly.
¡ The filter cover may swing out.
▶ Open the filter cover slowly.
