User manual SIEMENS LF457CA60/02

[. . . ] 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 hobs and ovens. Unrestricted operation is possible if the extractor hood is used in recirculating mode ­ with activated carbon filter. Filter grille Lighting Operating modes Exhaust-air mode: The ventilator fan draws the vapours produced during cooking into the extractor hood, where they pass through the grease filter and out into the open air. [. . . ] Removing the filter: The filters are removed in reverse sequence. Replacing the activated carbon filters: During normal operation (1 to 2 hours per day) the activated carbon filters should be replaced approximately 1 x year. The activated carbon filters are available from specialist outlets (see Optional accessories). The appliance is then guaranteed to function perfectly. Disposal of old activated carbon filters: Activated carbon filters do NOT contain any harmful substances. They can therefore be disposed of as household refuse. 6 Cleaning and care Disconnect the extractor hood from the electricity supply by pulling out the mains plug or switching it off at the fuse box. At the same time as you clean the grease filters, clean off any grease from all accessible parts of the housing. This significantly reduces the fire hazard and ensures that the extractor hood performs as effectively as possible. Use a hot detergent solution or a mild window cleaner to clean the canopy of the extractor hood. Do not scrape off any dirt that has dried on but loosen it up with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or sponges that could cause scratches. Always mount the extractor hood over the centre of the hob. Minimum distance between electric hob and bottom edge of extractor hood: 550 mm, Fig. Additional notes concerning gas cookers: When installing gas hotplates, comply with the relevant national statutory regulations (e. g. in Germany: Technische Regeln Gasinstallation TRGI). The relevant regulations and installation notes provided by the manufacturer of the gas cooker must be observed in all cases. The extractor hood may be installed next to only one full-height cupboard or high wall. The installation of the extractor hood above gas cooking devices, at a minimum height of 650 mm ­ Fig. 1 ­ is permitted provided that the following nominal heat loads (Hs) are not exceeded: Gas cookers Load of one hotplate max. 03. 9 kW Gas hobs Load of one hotplate max. 11. 3 kW Gas glass-ceramic hotplate The data on nominal heat loads do not apply to gas glass-ceramic hotplates. Be sure to observe the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the hotplate. [. . . ] Such devices include circuit breakers and contactors. If the connecting cable for this appliance is damaged, the cable must be replaced by the manufacturer or his customer service or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent serious injury to the user. This extractor hood corresponds to EC regulations concerning RF interference suppression. 12 Installation This extractor hood is intended to be mounted onto the kitchen wall. Remove the grease filter (refer to Operating Instructions). [. . . ]
