1.4 Safe use
⚠️ WARNING – Risk of fire! Fatty deposits in the grease filters may catch fire.
- Never operate the appliance without a grease filter.
- Clean the grease filters regularly.
- Never work with naked flames close to the appliance (e.g., flambéing).
- Do not install the appliance near a solid fuel heating appliance (e.g., wood- or coal-burning) unless the heating appliance has a sealed, non-removable cover. There must be no flying sparks.
Hot oil and fat ignite very quickly.
- Always supervise hot oil and fat.
- Never extinguish burning oil or fat with water. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket, or something similar and leave to cool down.
When gas burners are in operation without cookware, they can build up a lot of heat, potentially damaging the ventilation appliance above or causing a fire.
- Only operate gas burners with cookware on them.
- Operating multiple gas hobs simultaneously generates significant heat. Only operate gas hobs with cookware on them.
- Select the highest fan setting.
- Never operate two gas hobs simultaneously on the highest flame for longer than 15 minutes.
- Never operate large burners (over 5 kW) with the highest flame for longer than 15 minutes (e.g., a wok).
⚠️ WARNING – Risk of suffocation! Children may put packaging material over their heads or wrap themselves up in it and suffocate.
- Keep packaging material away from children.
- Do not let children play with packaging material.
Children may breathe in or swallow small parts, causing them to suffocate.
- Keep small parts away from children.
- Do not let children play with small parts.
⚠️ WARNING – Risk of poisoning! Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn back in.
Room-air-dependent heat-producing appliances (e.g., gas, oil, wood, or coal-operated heaters, continuous flow heaters, or water heaters) obtain combustion air from the room and discharge exhaust gases into the open through an exhaust gas system (e.g., a chimney). When the extractor hood is switched on, air is extracted from the kitchen and adjacent rooms. Without adequate air supply, the air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure, causing toxic gases from the chimney or extraction shaft to be sucked back into the living space.
- Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if the appliance is operated in exhaust air mode simultaneously with a room-air-dependent heat-producing appliance.
- Safe operation is only possible if the room pressure does not fall below 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This is achieved when combustion air can enter through unsealed openings (e.g., doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall boxes) or by other technical means. An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone is not sufficient.
- Consult your responsible chimney sweep to assess the house's entire ventilation setup and suggest suitable ventilation measures.
- Unrestricted operation is possible if the appliance is operated exclusively in circulating-air mode.
Using a gas cooking appliance leads to a build-up of heat, moisture, and combustion products.
- Switch on the extractor hood when using a gas cooking appliance.
⚠️ WARNING – Risk of burns! The accessible parts of the appliance become hot during operation.
- Never touch these hot parts.
- Keep children at a safe distance.
- The appliance becomes hot during operation. Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.
