Operating Instructions and Installation Instructions

Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to 
children. Never allow children to play with 
packaging material.
Danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are 
drawn back in.
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the 
room if the appliance is being operated in 
exhaust air mode at the same time as room 
air-dependent heat-producing appliance is 
being operated.
Room air-dependent heat-producing 
appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-
operated heaters, continuous flow heaters 
or water heaters) obtain combustion air 
from the room in which they are installed 
and discharge the exhaust gases into the 
open air through an exhaust gas system 
(e.g. a chimney).
In combination with an activated vapour 
extractor hood, room air is extracted from 
the kitchen and neighbouring rooms - a 
partial vacuum is produced if not enough 
fresh air is supplied. Toxic gases from the 
chimney or the extraction shaft are sucked 
back into the living space.
■
Adequate incoming air must therefore 
always be ensured.
■
An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone 
will not ensure compliance with the limit.
Safe operation is possible only when the 
partial vacuum in the place where the heat-
producing appliance is installed does not 
exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be 
achieved when the air needed for 
combustion is able to enter through 
openings that cannot be sealed, for 
example in doors, windows, incoming/
exhaust air wall boxes or by other technical 
means.
In any case, consult your responsible 
Master Chimney Sweep. He is able to 
assess the house's entire ventilation setup 
and will suggest the suitable ventilation 
measures to you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the 
vapour extractor hood is operated 
exclusively in the circulating-air mode.
Risk of fire!
■
Grease deposits in the grease filter may 
catch fire.
Clean the grease filter at least every 
2 months. 
Never operate the appliance without the 
grease filter.
Risk of fire!
■
Grease deposits in the grease filter may 
catch fire. Never work with naked flames 
close to the appliance (e.g. flambéing). Do 
not install the appliance near a heat-
producing appliance for solid fuel (e.g. 
wood or coal) unless a closed, non-
removable cover is available. There must 
be no flying sparks.
Risk of fire!
■
Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. 
Never leave hot fat or oil unattended. 
Never use water to put out burning oil or 
fat. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish 
flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or 
something similar. 
Risk of fire!
■
When gas burners are in operation without 
any cookware placed on them, they can 
build up a lot of heat. A ventilation 
appliance installed above the cooker may 
become damaged or catch fire. Only 
operate the gas burners with cookware on 
them.
Risk of fire!
■
Operating several gas burners at the 
same time gives rise to a great deal of 
heat. A ventilation appliance installed 
above the cooker may become damaged 
or catch fire. Never operate two gas 
burners simultaneously on the highest 
flame for longer than 15 minutes. One 
large burner of more than 5 kW (wok) is 
equivalent to the power of two gas 
burners.
