USER MANUAL Futura Gutmann
Thank you for deciding to purchase a GUTMANN exhaust hood.
Please carefully read the following information and explanations regarding the proper use of your new GUTMANN hood before first using it. Please take note of our cleaning recommendation so that you can enjoy your new advice for as long as possible.
Safety Instructions
Installation, connection, startup and repairs may only be conducted by a service technician. This service technician can determine the appropriate fasteners and exhaust air flow of the exhaust hood. The fasteners must be suitable for the weight of the exhaust hood and the load of the surface. Note the resistance of the enclosed screw anchors. These have the following values, depending on the surface: Screw Anchor 10mm Concrete B25 9.4 kN Brick Z20 5.2 KN lime sandstone KSV20 4.8 KN Consultant a construction professional, e.g. a structural engineer or architect for safe installation of the exhaust hood into other surfaces.
Risk of Injury!
Sharp edges may be located on the hood body as a result of the manufacturing process. Protective gloves should be worn during installation.
Risk of Electrical Shock!
The network voltage must be in accordance with the information on the label. This is located inside the hood, near the filter. Only connect the exhaust hood to a standardly installed outlet. The outlet must be easily accessible after installation in order to be able to separate the exhaust hood from the network voltage if necessary. In the event of a fixed connection (e.g. if a suitable outlet is not available), the exhaust hood may only be connected to the network voltage by an electrician. The exhaust hood must be connected to an individual electrical circuit with an energy-isolating device for a fixed connection. Switches with one contact opening of at least 3mm and all-pole switches, e.g. LS switches and fuses are deemed to be energy-isolating devices. Turn off the network voltage current before working on the electrical connection of the exhaust hood. Before drilling fastener holes, ensure that no electrical conduits will be damaged by the drilling. The electrical connection must be prepared in such a manner that the exhaust hood can be easily connected to it. Local conditions must be complied with.
Exhaust Air Flow (Exhaust Operation)
The exhaust may only be fed into a chimney which can be used for the exhaust gas of devices with fuel (e.g. gas). Official regulations for the dissipation of the exhaust must be complied with. The exhaust path must be prepared in such a manner that the exhaust hood can be easily connected to it. The exhaust hose must be laid out in a manner in which it is not bent. During simultaneous operation of an exhaust hood for exhaust purposes and other heat producing appliances dependent upon the air in the room (e.g. wood, gas or oil fueled devices) in one room, deadly flammable gases could be fed back into the room through negative pressure. Therefore, the operator must provide sufficient fresh air at all times. The negative pressure in the room may not be greater than 4 Pa (0 mbar).
Heat Producing Appliances for Fixed Fuel Installation of the exhaust hood above a heat producing appliance for fixed fuel which carries a risk of fire (e.g. flying sparks) is only permissible if the heat producing appliance has a closed, non removable lid.
Safety Warning for Operating Moving Parts
Please make sure that there are no objects in the immediate vicinity (ca. 5 cm) of the rosette cover while operating moving parts. Objects which fall into the hood shaft could damage the hood!
Danger
Do not place any parts of the body in the vicinity of the hood while operating moving parts. Please also ensure that no other persons (especially children) are in dangerous area. There is a risk of serious injury from crushing!
The hood is additionally equipped with an electronic safety circuit. This stops the hood in the event of too strong a resistance during the operation of moving parts. The hood can then be placed back into operation after remedying the cause of the disturbance by pressing button 1.
Subject to technical changes!
General Functionality:
This exhaust hood has been specially developed for the exhaust of cooking vapors in private households. This series of hoods concerns so-called trench ventilation which retracts into the counter after use and thus remains „invisible". The unmistakable form of the hood body, which strengthens the functionality, guarantees high performance using innovative edge suction in conjunction with the use of a high quality metal filter. The entire module disappears completely into the counter at the push of a button. The rising cooking vapors are sucked into the exhaust hood and through a metal filter. The metal filter is held in place in the hood body with by magnets. The metal filter is covered by a glass element. Access to the metal filter is guaranteed via the manual positioning of the glass element. The exhaust power is regulated via the control panel. The respective power level is displayed via LEDs. The exhaust hood is finished in stainless steel in conjunction with glass elements for hygienic reasons.
The hood model range FUTURA is produced in two variants, which are:
Futura 01 ML = with retractable hood body and radio remote control
Futura 02 ML = with fixed hood body and toggle switch
