IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
The venti
lation hood may become damaged if exposed to
excessive heat from a gas cooktop.
– When using the ventilation hood over a gas cooktop, ensure that
any burne
rs in use are always covered by cookware. Turn burners
off when removing the cookware, even if doing so for just a short
time.
– Select cookware that is suitable for the size of the burner.
– Adjust the flame so that it never extends up the sides of the
co
okware.
– Avoid overheating the cookware (e.g., when cooking with a wok).
Always turn the ventila
tion hood on whenever a burner is in use to
prevent damage from condensation.
Overheat
ed oils and fats can ignite and set the ventilation hood
on fire.
When cooking with oils or fats, do not leave pots, pans or fryers
unattended. Never leave an electric grill unattended when grilling.
F
at and debris deposits impair the proper functioning of the
ventilation hood.
To ensure that cooking vapors are properly cleaned, never use the
ventilation hood without the grease filters in place.
Ther
e is a risk of fire if cleaning is not completed according to the
instructions in this manual.
Please no
te that the heat rising from the stovetop during cooking
can cause the ventilation hood to become very hot.
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the ventilation
hood has cooled down.
