Thermador HGEW36FS manual Important Notes, Exhaust-Airmode, Transportation Protection Device

IMPORTANT NOTES

❑The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.

❑This hood complies with all relevant safety regulations.

Repairs should be carried out by qualified technicians only.

CAUTION

Improper repairs may put the user at considerable risk.

❑Before using your appliance for the first time, please read these Instructions for Use carefully. They contain important information concerning your personal safety as well as on use and care of the appliance.

❑Please retain the operating and installation instructions for a subsequent owner.

EXHAUST-AIR MODE:

❑The hood fan extracts the kitchen vapors and conveys them through the grease filter into the atmosphere.

❑The grease filter absorbs the solid particles in the kitchen vapors.

❑The kitchen is kept almost free of grease and odors.

DWhen the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with a different burner which also makes use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers) care must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air which will be needed by the burner for combustion.

Safe operation is possible provided that the under pressure in the room where the burner is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).

This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via the air-intake/ exhaust-air wall box or by other technical measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.

CAUTION

Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide adequate air intake so combustion gases are not drawn back into the room.

An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.

Note: When assessing the overall require- ment, the combined ventilation system for the entire household must be taken into consideration. This rule does not apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as cooktops and ovens.

TRANSPORTATION PROTECTION DEVICE:

❑The transportation protection device prevents the canopy from moving.

❑Check that the installer has removed the transportation protection device (see installation manual).

❑Please retain the transportation protection device for possible future need.

Gas Cooktops / Gas Ranges:

CAUTION

Avoid risk of burns or damage to the hood.

Do not use all gas burners simultaneously at high settings for a prolonged period (max.15 minutes).

If the hood is located over a gas cooktop, operate the hood at maximum setting whenever three or more gas burners are being used.
