• The blower should be turned on for about 5 minutes before cooking in order to establish air currents upward through the hood. Thus when heat, smoke, moisture, grease and cooking odors are produced, they will be carried outside instead of drifting into other rooms.

• Use the low speeds for normal use and the higher speeds for strong odors or fumes.

• Drafts across the range or cooktop will reduce the effectiveness of the hood. Such drafts should be prevented when possible.

• The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done where the only air currents are those created by the blower itself.

• Regular use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid.

• Use a rear burner when browning or pan frying meat.

• For optimal performance, the width of the hood should equal that of the cooktop or rangetop or exceed it by 3 inches (76,2 mm) on either side. Environmental protection Your new appliance is particularly energy-effi cient. Here you can fi nd tips on how to save even more energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose of your appliance properly. Saving energy

• During cooking, ensure that there is a suffi cient supply of air to enable the hood to work effi ciently and with a low level of operting noise.

• Adjust the fan speed to the amount or steam produced during cooking. Only use boost mode when required. The lower the fan speed, the less energy is consumed.

• If cooking produces large amount of steams, select a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking steam has already spread around the kitchen, the hood will need to be operated for longer.

• Switch off the hood if you no longer require it.

• Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.

• Clean and (if required) replace the fi lters at regular intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fi re.

• Put the lid on to reduce cooking steam and condensation.English 11

SUPPORT Model No. / FD date 4 digits Serial No. 18 digits Date of Purchase / /English 18 What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances (“Bosch“) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to the Bosch appliance sold to you (“Product“), provided that the Product was purchased:

For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes.

New at retail (not a display, “as is”, or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use.

Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of original purchase. The warranties stated herein apply to the original purchaser of the product warranted herein and to each succeeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use during the term of the warranty. Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for BSH to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall. How Long the Warranty Lasts Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty-fi ve (365) days from the date of the original purchase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of the original purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chip, dents, or other damage to the fi nish) of the Product, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase or closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty specifi cally excludes any display, fl oor, “As Is”, or “B” stock appliances. Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy During this warranty period, Bosch or one of its authorized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to repair the Product have been made without success, then Bosch will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Bosch’s sole discretion, for an additional charge). Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part. All removed parts and components shall become the property of Bosch at its sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with respect to such parts. Bosch’s sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a Bosch-authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use a non-authorized service provider; Bosch will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by a non-authorized service provider. Authorized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on Bosch products, and who possess, in Bosch’s opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affi liates or representatives of Bosch). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bosch will not incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request, Bosch would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service provider, but you would still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the service company, assuming they agree to make the service call. STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTYEnglish 19 Out of Warranty Product BSH is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including repairs, prorates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired.

Use of the Product in anything other than its normal, customary and intended manner (including without limitation, any form of commercial use, use or storage of an indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in conjunction with air or water-going vessels).

Any party’s willful misconduct, negligence, misuse, abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure to maintain, improper or negligent installation, tampering, failure to follow operating instructions, mishandling, unauthorized service (including selfperformed “fi xing” or exploration of the appliance’s internal workings).

Service calls to correct the installation of your Product, to instruct you how to use your Product, to replace house fuses or correct house wiring or plumbing. In no event shall Bosch have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for damage to surrounding property, including cabinetry, fl oors, ceilings, and other structures or objects around the Product. Also excluded from this warranty are Products, on which the serial numbers have been altered, defaced, or removed; service visits to teach you how to use the Product, or visits where there is nothing wrong with the Product; correction of installation problems (you are solely responsible for any structure and setting for the Product, including all electrical, plumbing or other connecting facilities, for proper foundation/fl ooring, and for any alterations including without limitation cabinetry, walls, fl oors, shelving, etc.); and resetting of breakers or fuses.

LOSSES, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING WITHOUT

LIMITATION TIME AWAY FROM WORK, HOTELS

AND/OR RESTAURANT MEALS, REMODELLING
