Preparing for use
The extractor hood model complies with the relevant safety regulations for kitchen ap-
pliances in private households. The requirements regarding the installation location are
described in the user documentation supplied with the appliance. If you have any
doubts as to whether your intended installation location meets the requirements, please
contact our service department. Damaged appliances may not be put into operation.
Defective parts must be replaced with genuine spare parts or parts specified by GUT-
MANN. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised technical staff.
Transport, unpacking, installation
Condensation may occur if the appliance is brought into the installation site from a cold
environment. Please wait until the appliance has adjusted to the temperature and is
completely dry before operating it. The acclimatization period depends on the tempera-
ture difference and the type and design of the appliance. However, it should be at least
12 hours.
Connecting the power supply
Check that the rated voltage of the device corresponds to the local mains voltage. In-
correct setting will damage or destroy the device.The device may only be installed on
the electrical mains by a trained electrician who is familiar with and carefully observes
the local regulations and additional regulations of the local electrical supply companies.
The protection against accidental contact of operationally insulated parts must be en-
sured after assembly. It must be possible to disconnect the device from the mains at all
poles by means of disconnecting devices. When switched off, there must be a contact
distance of 3 mm between the contacts. Suitable isolating devices are LS switches,
fuses and contactors.
Attention! Make sure that the wires are inserted correctly and that the screws are tigh-
tened tightly.We are not responsible for incidents caused by incorrect connection, or
missing or incorrect earth connection.Check before operation whether all cables and
wires are faultless and undamaged. In particular, make sure that the cables have no
kinks, have not been laid too short around corners and that there are no objects on the
cables. Furthermore, make sure that all plug connections are tight. Faulty shielding or
wiring endangers your health (electric shock) and can destroy other equipment. De-
vices with a mains plug are equipped with a safety-tested mains cable from the country
of use and must only be connected to a properly earthed earth contact socket, otherwi-
se there is a risk of electric shock. Make sure that the socket at the device or the earth
contact socket of the house installation is freely accessible so that the mains cable can
be disconnected from the socket in an emergency or during service or maintenance
work.
If the power supply cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the ma-
nufacturer, its customer services or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid ha-
zards.The appliance must not be operated with an external timer or an external telecon-
trol system. The reliable and safe operation of the hob is only guaranteed if it is connec-
ted to the public electricity network.
