Use
~
Do not allow children to play with or
operate the appliance or its controls.
Supervise its use by the elderly or
infirm.
~
Do not flambé or grill with an open
flame beneath the hood.
Flames could be drawn up into the
hood by the suction and the grease
filters may catch fire.
~
Never operate gas burners without
cookware. Turn the burner off when not
in use. Adjust the burner so that the
flames do not extend beneath the
cookware. Do not overheat the
cookware, e.g. when using a wok. The
hood can be damaged due to
excessive heat from the burners and
the cookware.
~
Do not use the hood without the
grease filters in place.

Clean the grease filters regularly.
Dirty filters are a fire hazard.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the hood. Steam could penetrate the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.

Always turn on the hood when using
the cooktop to prevent damage from
condensation.
