Energy saving tips
19
This rangehood operates very efficiently
and economically. The following will
help you to save even more energy
when using it:
- Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation in the kitchen when
cooking. In extraction mode, if there
is insufficient air flow the rangehood
cannot operate efficiently and this
causes increased operating noise
levels.
- Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking
vapours, so you can use a lower
rangehood power level and therefore
benefit from reduced energy
consumption.
- Check the power level selected on
the rangehood. A lower power level is
generally sufficient for the majority of
cooking. Only use the Booster setting
when necessary.
- When a large volume of cooking
vapours are being produced, switch
to a high power level in good time.
This is more efficient than operating
the rangehood for longer to try to
capture cooking vapours which have
already been distributed throughout
the kitchen.
- Make sure that you switch the
rangehood off after use.
- Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.
