PAGE 3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Carefully clean the extractor hood before switching on for the first time. Do not place any objects on the extractor hood. The sliding surfaces of the filter drawer must not be dirty. Slide marks may occur. However, these will not impair function. When moving the filter drawer, do not place hand in the marked areas, danger of crushing! PAGE 4 FEATURES Light / fan switches Filter grille Chimney panelling Lighting EXHAUST-AIR MODE: . The extractor-hood fan extracts the kitchen vapours and conveys them through the grease filter into the atmosphere. . The grease filter absorbs the solid particles in the kitchen vapours. . The kitchen is kept almost free of grease and odours. DWhen the extractor 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 underpressure 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. If the air intake is inadequate, there is a risk of poisoning from combustion gases which are 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 requirement, 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 hobs and ovens. IMPORTANT NOTES: . The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance.
