Connecting the power supply
If the power supply cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufac-
turer, its customer services or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazards.
The appliance must not be operated with an external timer or an external telecontrol sys-
tem. The reliable and safe operation of the hob is only guaranteed if it is connected to the
public electricity network.
The hob must not be connected to a stand-alone inverter that is used with an autonomous
power supply, such as solar power. Otherwise a safety switch-off may occur when swit-
ching on the hob due to voltage spikes. The electronics may be damaged. The electrical
safety of the hob is only guaranteed when it is connected to an earth conductor system in-
stalled according to the regulations. This basic safety requirement must exist.
Danger of electric shock !
Do not clean the hood with a steam cleaner or water pressure cleaner. The hood must be
disconnected from the power supply prior to cleaning.
Children in the household
Children under eight years of age must be kept away from the hob, unless they are conti-
nuously supervised.
Children over eight years of age must only operate the hob without supervision if they have
been shown how to operate it safely. Children must be able to recognise and understand
the possible hazards caused through incorrect operation. Children must not clean the hob
without supervision. Supervise children who are close to the hob. Never allow children to
play with the hob. The hob becomes hot during operation and remains hot for some time af-
ter it is switched off. Keep children away from the hob until it has cooled down to avoid any
risk of burning.
Risk of burning !
Do not store objects that may be of interest to children in storage areas above or behind
the hob. Otherwise the children will be enticed to climb onto the appliance.
Risk of burning and scalding !
Turn pot and pan handles sideways over the working surface so that children cannot pull
them off and burn themselves. Risk of suffocation! Children can wrap themselves in packa-
ging material ( e.g. foils) when playing or pull it over their head and suffocate. Keep packa-
ging material away from children.
Design
From an aesthetic perspective, the hob extractor hood may differ from the drawings in the-
se operating instructions. However, the operating instructions, maintenance, cleaning and
installation procedures are always the same. The drawings and plans must be consulted in
the case of customer-specific products.
