2 Preventing material damage

Preventing material damage

2.1 Avoiding material damage
ATTENTION
Condensate may cause corrosion damage.
To prevent condensation from building up, switch on
the appliance during cooking.
If moisture gets into the controls, this may result in dam-
age.
Never clean controls with a wet cloth.
Incorrect cleaning damages the surfaces.
Follow the cleaning instructions.
Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents.
Clean stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the
finish only.
Never clean controls with stainless steel cleaners.
Condensation that flows back in may damage the appli-
ance.
The air extraction duct must be installed with a gradi-
ent of at least 1° from the appliance.
3 Environmental protection and saving energy

Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible
and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power.
Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced
during cooking.
The lower the fan speed, the less energy is con-
sumed.
Only use the intensive mode as required.
4 Operating modes

Operating modes

You can use your appliance in air extraction mode or
circulating-air mode.
The saturation indicator must be adjusted to the selec-
ted operating mode and the filters used.
"Setting the saturation indicator", Page 28
4.1 Air extraction mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters
and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system.
If you put incorrect stress on the design elements, they
may break off.
Do not pull design elements.
Do not place objects on the design elements or hang
objects from them.
Leaking batteries may damage the remote control.
Remove the batteries if you are not using the remote
control.
Safely dispose of empty or defective batteries in an
environmentally friendly manner.
There is a risk of surface damage if you do not peel off
the protective film.
Remove the protective film from all parts of the appli-
ance before using for the first time.
Painted surfaces are easily damaged.
Follow the cleaning instructions.
"Cleaning the appliance", Page 30
Ensure that the painted surfaces are not scratched.
If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a
higher fan speed in good time.
The odours are distributed around the room less.
Switch off the lighting if it is no longer required.
When the lighting is switched off, it does not con-
sume any energy.
Clean or replace the filters at regular intervals.
The effectiveness of the filter is retained.
Put the cooking lid on.
The cooking vapours and condensation are reduced.
Only use the additional functions if required.
Switching off additional functions reduces power con-
sumption.
You can find product information in accordance with
(EU) 65/2014 and (EU) 66/2014 below the energy la-
bel and online on the product page for your appliance.
The air must not be discharged into a flue
that is used for exhausting fumes from
appliances burning gas or other fuels (not
applicable to appliances that only dis-
charge the air back into the room).
If the exhaust air is to be conveyed into
a non-functioning smoke or exhaust
gas flue, you must obtain the consent
of the heating engineer responsible.
If the exhaust air is conveyed through
the external wall, a telescopic duct
should be used.
