Energy-saving tips
16
This hood operates in a very efficient
and energy-saving manner. The
following will help you to save even
more energy when using it:
– Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation in the kitchen when
cooking. If there is insufficient air flow
during vented mode, the hood
cannot operate efficiently, causing
increased operating noise levels.
– Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking
vapors so that you can use a lower
hood power level and therefore
benefit from reduced energy
consumption.
– Check the power level selected on
the hood. A lower power level is
generally sufficient for the majority of
cooking. Only use the booster level
when necessary.
– When a large volume of cooking
vapors are being produced, switch to
a high power level in good time. This
is more efficient than operating the
hood for longer to try to capture
cooking vapors that have already
been distributed throughout the
kitchen.
– Make sure that you switch off the
hood after use.
– Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.
