5.2 Environmental protection: energy saving
❖
Cover your cookware (cooking pot / pan) with lids during cooking.
❖ The diameter of the cooking pot / pan should meet the diameter of the cooking
zone or the size of the flame of the burner (gas appliances).
❖ Switch off the extractor hood after cooking or use the delayed switch-off function
(equipment depends on model).
❖ Only switch on the illuminant while the appliance is in operation. Do not switch
on the illuminant to illuminate the room.
❖ Switch off the illuminant(s) of the appliance after cooking.
❖
The power level should always meet the intensity of the generated cooking
fumes.
Use the highest motor speed of the appliance (highest power level) to
extract strong concentration of cooking fumes only . A lower power level always
means a lower energy consumption.
❖
Make sure there is sufficient supply air to allow the extractor hood to operate
efficiently and with low operating noise.
❖
In the case of a strong concentration of cooking fumes select a higher power level
early. Cooking fumes which are already distributed in the kitchen may require a
longer operation of the extractor hood.
❖
Clean the grease filter(s) regularly as clean filters will increase the efficiency of the
appliance.
❖
Replace the carbon filters (for recirculation mode only) regularly. Observe the
information given on the packaging of the carbon filters.

carefully and economically.
2. Do not clean the control panel with a detergent. Use a damp cloth. Otherwise,
you may damage the electronic components of the controls.
3. Never use any alcohol-containing detergents to clean matt black painted
