Technical data

Correct use
~
Never use an open flame beneath
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. Fat
particles drawn into the rangehood
present a fire hazard.
~
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.
Regulate the flame so that it does not
burn up the sides of the pan.
Do not allow the pans to overheat
excessively (e.g. when using a wok).
The rangehood can become damaged
when exposed to excessive heat.
~
Always switch the rangehood on
when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in
the hood, which could cause corrosion.
~
When cooking with oil or fat, chip
pans and deep fat fryers etc., do not
leave the pans unattended. Never leave
an open grill unattended when grilling.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the rangehood on fire.
~
Do not use the rangehood without
the filters in place. This way you will
avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting
into the appliance and hindering its
smooth operation.
~
The filters should be regularly
cleaned or changed as appropriate.
Saturated filters are a fire hazard. See
"Cleaning and care".
~
The rangehood can get very hot
during cooking due to heat rising from
the cooktop.
Do not touch the housing or the grease
filters until the rangehood has cooled
down.
~
Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean
this appliance. Pressurised steam
could reach the electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
Correct installation
~
Refer to the cooktop manufacturer's
instructions as to whether a rangehood
may be operated above the cooktop.
~
The minimum safety distances
between the top of the cooktop or
cooktop and the bottom of the
rangehood given in the "Appliance
dimensions" section of this booklet must
be maintained, unless the cooktop
manufacturer states that a greater
safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is
fitted beneath the rangehood, and they
have different minimum safety
distances to the rangehood, select the
greater distance.
