PRELIMINARY NOTES

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

These operating and installation instructions contain important information that must be
observed to ensure safe and reliable operation of the extractor hood. Please store
them in a safe place for future reference. These operating instructions refer to several
versions of the appliance. They may contain descriptions of certain features not found
on your model. The extractor hood must not be used by persons (incl. children) with
impaired physical or mental capabilities or persons who lack experience and/or know-
ledge of how to use it. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
Intended use
The extractor hood may only be used to extract kitchen vapours above the cooking
appliances in private households. Any other use will be deemed to be improper. Impro-
per use of the hood may pose a danger to persons and objects. The extractor hood
must not be used as a shelf to store objects such as bottles, spice jars or other loose
objects.
Installation
The appliance may only be installed and connected by an authorised technician obser-
ving all relevant regulations of the electric utility companies and the applicable building
regulations. During installation, observe the relevant instructions! Damaged appliances
may not be put into operation. Defective parts must be replaced with genuine
parts. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised technical staff.
Danger of intoxication!
If the extractor hood is operated in extraction mode at the same time as other
room-air-dependent fire appliances (e.g. wood, gas, oil or coal-fired appliances) in the
same room, lethal combustion gases may be directed back into the room due to the
resulting negative pressure. For this reason, you must ensure a sufficient air supply at
all times! The negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (0.04mbar).
Please make sure that your extractor fan is fitted with an properly installed window
contact (applies to exhaust air operation).
Fire hazard / burning hazard!
The NIVEL trough ventilation must never be operated without a
grease filter and must always be operated under supervision.
Overgreased filters mean fire hazard! Fry with the trough ventilation only under
constant supervision! Ensure that the filter is cleaned regularly. Gas cooking and fla-
ming are forbidden with the trough ventilation!
