Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use

Open flames are a fire hazard!
Never use an open flame under the rangehood. To avoid the danger
of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on,
the rangehood could draw flames into the filter. Kitchen grease
deposits could ignite.

The rangehood can become damaged when exposed to excessive
heat.
- When using the rangehood over a gas cooktop, ensure that any
burners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the cooking
zone off when a pan is removed, even for a short time.
- Select a pan which is suitable for the size of the burner.
- Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the
pan.
- Avoid overheating the pan (e.g. when cooking with a wok).

Always switch the rangehood on when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in the rangehood, which could
cause corrosion.

Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
rangehood.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc., do
not leave the pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an open grill
unattended when grilling.
