knowledge and experience to operate the appliance

WARNING
Risk of fire
If the VL 040/041 downdraft ventilators are installed
next to a gas appliance, an air baffle (LS 041 000) must
be used. This prevents the flame from being drawn into
the fan. Thus, a filter soaked in grease cannot be ignited
by the gas flame.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat.
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a
naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood
draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to
deposits on the grease filter!
CAUTION
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug.
Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for
examination and/or repair.
Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with
throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route
cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away
from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
