IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
WARNING
When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode
simultaneously with a different burner which also makes
use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or coal-fired
heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers) care
must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate
supply of fresh air which will be needed by the burner
for combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the under
pressure in the room where the burner is installed does
not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through
non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via
the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical
measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.
WARNING
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide adequate
air intake so combustion gases are not drawn back into
the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no
guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the
combined ventilation system for the entire household
must be taken into consideration. This rule does not
apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as
cooktops and ovens.
CAUTION
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
