filters regularly. Flambéing under the
extractor hood is not allowed! Gas appli-
ances may only be used under the ex-
tractor hood with saucepans placed over
them! If you are using more than three
gas rings at the same time, operate the
extractor hood at power level "2" or
higher. This prevents the build-up of
heat in the appliance.
Preparing for use
The extractor hood model complies with
the relevant safety regulations for
kitchen appliances in private house-
holds. 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 loca-
tion meets the requirements, please
contact our service department. Dam-
aged appliances may not be put into
operation. Defective parts must be re-
placed with genuine spare parts or parts
specified by V-ZUG. Repairs should
only be carried out by authorised techni-
cal 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 tempera-
ture and is completely dry before operat-
ing it. The acclimatization period de-
pends on the temperature difference
and the type and design of the appli-
ance. However, it should be at least 12
hours.
Connecting the power supply
Check that the rated voltage indicated
on the appliance matches the mains
voltage in your area. Connection to the
incorrect voltage will damage or destroy
the appliance.
Before switching on the appliance,
check that all cables and lines are prop-
erly fitted and undamaged. Make sure in
particular that there are no kinks in the
cables, that they are not pulled too
8
tightly around corners and that no ob-
jects are resting on them. Also make
sure that all plug connections are se-
curely inserted. Faulty shielding or wir-
ing poses a health hazard (electric
shock) and can destroy other appli-
ances. Appliances with mains plugs are
fitted with a safety-tested mains cable
for the respective country of use and
may only be connected to a correctly
earthed safety socket. Otherwise, there
is a risk of electric shock. Make sure
that the socket on the appliance or the
domestic safety socket is easily accessi-
ble so that the mains cable can be un-
plugged from the socket in an emer-
gency or during servicing and mainte-
nance work.
Danger of electric shock!
Do not clean the hood with a steam
cleaner or water pressure cleaner. The
hood must be disconnected from the
power supply prior to cleaning.
