heaters) obtain combustion air from the room
in which they are installed and discharge the
exhaust gases into the open through an ex-
haust gas system (e.g. a chimney). With the
extractor hood switched on, air is extracted
from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms.
Without an adequate supply of air, the air pres-
sure falls below atmospheric pressure. Toxic
gases from the chimney or the extraction shaft
are sucked back into the living space.
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the
room if the appliance is being operated in
exhaust air mode at the same time as a
room-air-dependent heat-producing appli-
ance is being operated.
It is only possible to safely operate the appli-
ance if the pressure in the room in which the
heating appliance is installed does not fall
below 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be
achieved whenever the air needed for com-
bustion 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. An incoming/ex-
haust air wall box alone is not sufficient to
ensure compliance with the limit.
In any case, consult your responsible chim-
ney sweep. They are able to assess the
house's entire ventilation setup and will sug-
gest the suitable ventilation measures to
you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the ap-
pliance is operated exclusively in circulating-
air mode.
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
Fatty deposits in the grease filters may catch
fire.
Never operate the appliance without a
grease filter.
Clean the grease filters regularly.
Never work with naked flames close to the
appliance (e.g. flambéing).
Do not install the appliance near a solid fuel
heating appliance (e.g. wood- or coal-burn-
ing) unless the heating appliance has a
sealed, non-removable cover. There must be
no flying sparks.
Hot oil or grease ignites very quickly.
Always supervise hot oil and fat.
Never extinguish burning oil or fat with water.
Switch off the cooking zone. Extinguish
flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or
something similar.
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.
Operating multiple gas hobs at the same time
generates a great deal of heat. A ventilation
appliance installed above the cooker may be-
come damaged or catch fire.
Only operate the gas hobs with cookware on
them.
Select the highest fan setting.
Never operate two gas hobs simultaneously
on the highest flame for longer than 15
minutes. Two gas hobs correspond to one
large burner.
Never operate large burners of more than
5 kW with the highest flame for longer than
15 minutes, e.g. a wok.
The appliance must only be combined with
gas hobs with a total output of up to 18 kW.
WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
The accessible parts of the appliance become
hot during operation.
Never touch these hot parts.
Keep children at a safe distance.
The appliance becomes hot during operation.
Allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
WARNING ‒ Risk of injury!
Components inside the appliance may have
sharp edges.
Carefully clean the appliance interior.
Items placed on the appliance may fall off.
Do not place any objects on the appliance.
Changes to the electrical or mechanical as-
sembly are dangerous and may lead to mal-
functions.
Do not make any changes to the electrical
or mechanical assembly.
The filter cover may swing out.
Open the filter cover slowly.
