Safety and warnings
WARNING!
Hot Surface Hazard
Make sure the elements or gas burners of the cooking surface always have
pans/pots on them and never heat the filter(s) of your appliance directly.
When frying, never leave pans unattended as there is a risk of the oil
overheating and catching fire.
If reusing frying oil, the risk of fire is greater.
Never prepare flambé (flame-cooked) dishes under the appliance.
To avoid fire hazard, make sure that no grease deposits accumulate on the
surface of the appliance or the filter(s).
Read the instructions on care and cleaning carefully. There could be a risk of
fire if the instructions are not carefully followed.
Failure to follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.

For island models, make sure the ceiling is able to withstand the total weight (56 kg) of the
appliance suspended from it. For wall models, make sure the wall is able to withstand the total

Take care when removing filters in order to prevent the filter falling and causing damage to the
cooking surface.
