The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
–
it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed (do not pull on
the cable, only on the plug), or
–
the fuse from the fused spur connec
-
tion unit is withdrawn, or
–
the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
–
the screw-out fuse is removed in
countries where this is applicable.
Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or re-
pair work is being carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
Use
Do not let small children play with
the appliance or its controls or op
-
erate it. Supervise its use by the elderly
or infirm.
Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood. To avoid the dan
-
ger of fire, do not flambé or grill under
the cooker hood. When switched on,
the cooker hood could draw flames into
the filter. Fat particles drawn into the
cooker hood present a fire hazard.
When using the cooker hood over
a gas hob ensure that any burners
in use are always covered by a pan,
otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the cooker hood, parts of
which could then be damaged.
Always switch the cooker hood on
when using the hob, otherwise
condensation may collect in the hood,
which could cause corrosion.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip
pans and deep fat fryers etc, do
not leave the pans unattended. Never
leave an open grill unattended when
grilling.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood without
the grease filters in place. This way
you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt
getting into the appliance and hinder-
ing its smooth operation.
The filters should be regularly
cleaned, or changed, as appropri-
ate.
Saturated filters are a fire hazard (see
"Cleaning and care").
Under no circumstances use a
steam-cleaning appliance to clean
this appliance. Pressurised steam
could reach the electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches and other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the appli
-
ance and its surroundings in a clean
condition at all times. Any damage
which may be caused by cockroaches
or other vermin will not be covered by
the appliance guarantee.
