Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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".
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.
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.
