Environmental protection
Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here
you can find 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 sufficient
supply of air so that the extractor hood can work
efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
▯
Adjust the fan speed to the intensity of the cooking
fumes. Only use intensive mode where this is
required. A lower fan speed means that less energy
is consumed.
▯
If there are intensive cooking fumes, select a higher
fan speed in good time. If cooking fumes have
already spread in the kitchen, the extractor hood
must be operated for longer.
▯
Switch off the extractor hood if you no longer
require it.
▯
Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
▯
Clean and, if required, replace the filter at regular
intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of
the ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
