Safety Information - Elica Seagull Montage- Und Gebrauchsanweisung

Safety information

These operating and installation instruc-
tions contain important information that
must be observed to ensure safe and
reliable operation of the extractor hood.
Please store them in a safe place for
future reference. These operating in-
structions refer to several versions of the
appliance. They may contain descrip-
tions of certain features not found on
your model.
The extractor hood must not be used by
persons (incl. children) with impaired
physical or mental capabilities or per-
sons who lack experience and/or knowl-
edge of how to use it. Children must be
supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Intended use
The extractor hood may only be used to
extract kitchen vapours above the cook-
ing appliances in private households.
Any other use will be deemed to be im-
proper. Improper use of the hood may
pose a danger to persons and objects.
The extractor hood must not be used as
a shelf to store objects such as bottles,
spice jars or other loose objects.
Installation
The appliance may only be installed and
connected by an authorised technician
observing all relevant regulations of the
electric utility companies and the appli-
cable building regulations. During instal-
lation, observe the relevant instructions!
Damaged appliances may not be put
into operation. Defective parts must be
replaced with genuine parts. Repairs
should only be carried out by authorised
technical staff.
Danger of intoxication!
If the extractor hood is operated in ex-
traction mode at the same time as other
room-air-dependent fire appliances (e.g.
wood, gas, oil or coal-fired appliances)
in the same room, lethal combustion
gases may be directed back into the
room due to the resulting negative pres-
sure. For this reason, you must ensure
a sufficient air supply at all times! The
negative pressure in the room must not
exceed 4 Pa (0.04mbar).
Fire hazard!
The extractor hood must never be op-
erated without the grease filter and
must always be used under supervi-
sion. Filters that are saturated with
grease can pose a fire hazard! Keep
the extractor hood under constant su-
pervision when deep-frying! Remember
to clean out the filters regularly. Flam-
béing under the extractor hood is not
allowed! Gas appliances may only be
used under the extractor hood with
saucepans placed over them! If you are
using more than three gas rings at the
same time, operate the extractor hood
at power level "2" or higher. This pre-
vents the build-up of heat in the appli-
ance.
Preparing for use
The extractor hood model complies
with the relevant safety regulations for
kitchen appliances in private house-
holds. The requirements regarding the
installation location are described in the
user documentation supplied with the
appliance. If you have any doubts as to
whether your intended installation loca-
tion meets the requirements, please
contact our service department. Dam-
aged appliances may not be put into
operation. Defective parts must be re-
placed with genuine spare parts or
parts specified by elica. Repairs should
only be carried out by authorised tech-
nical staff.
Activated carbon filter

GUTMANN extractor hoods (C Ver-
sion), please read the separate operat-
ing instructions provided!
