Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Never use a naked flame beneath the cooker hood. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over a naked flame.
When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter. Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
The cooker hood can become damaged when exposed to excessive heat.
–When using the cooker hood over a gas hob, 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 cooker hood 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 cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood 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.
The cooker hood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising from the hob.
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the cooker hood has cooled down.
