[. . . ] 17 Warning and safety instructions Warning and safety instructions Before installation and before using the appliance for the first time read these operating instructions carefully to avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance. The appliance is intended for domestic use only. Do not let small children play with the extractor or its controls. This extractor meets all statutory safety requirements. [. . . ] When using the extractor at the same time as other heating appliances which depend on the air in the room (e. g. gas, oil or coal fired heaters, continuous flow or other water heater, gas cooktop or gas oven), make certain that ventillation is adequate as the extractor will remove air from the room, which these heaters need for combustion. In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent the exhaust gases of the heating appliances from being drawn into the room when the extractor and heater are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure of 0. 06 psi (4pa) is the maximum permissible in the room. Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets in windows, doors and outside walls, or by other means, such as ensuring that the extractor can only be turned on when the heating appliance is off and vice-versa. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place for future reference and pass them on to future owners if applicable. 7 Warning and safety instructions Warning and safety instructions Disposal of an old appliance Before disposing of an old appliance, cut the cable off the appliance as close to the housing as possible.

Grease filter A re-usable metal grease filter is used to remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc. ) from kitchen vapors, preventing soiling of the extractor fan. The grease filter can be cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand. The grease filter should be cleaned regularly to ensure trouble free operation of the extractor fan. Make sure that no particles from the grease filter fall into the interior of the appliance. If this does happen, the Service Department will have to be called to clean the appliance, as the fan casing will need to be dismantled. Loosen both screws on the grease filter and remove the drip tray. Clean the grease filter, the ventilation grill and the drip tray. By hand: in a solution of hot water and detergent using a nylon brush, or In a dishwasher: the grease filter, the ventilation grill and the drip tray should be placed in the bottom basket. Ensure that the spray arm is not obstructed. When clean and dry, replace the drip tray on the grease filter and re-install it in the appliance. Control panel / Control knob The control panel and control knob should be cleaned in a solution of hot water and detergent and dried using a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as these will scratch the surface material. To remove the grease filter the ventilation grill (1) must be removed. [. . . ] The exhaust ducting should be attached to the exhaust connection using the supplied hose clamp. E 10 1/4" 5 1/2" 17 Exhaust connections Exhaust connections Calculation of exhaust ducting A pipe diameter of 5" should ensure trouble-free extraction up to a total pipe length of 5. 4. Determine the total pipe length as follows: Measure the total length of ducting needed. Add the length of additional ducting to this figure according to the number and type of bends (see table below). Note If the exhaust ducting will run through rooms, ceiling space etc. [. . . ]
