− Do not use 2 gas hobs or 1 large hob (more than 5 kW)
at top power for longer than 15 minutes. A great deal
of heat is generated that may result in damage to the
appliance.
− Switch on the appliance a few minutes before starting
to cook for effective extraction of the cooking vapours.
− Make use of the delay position if the appliance has one.
The instructions for the delay position are set out in these
directions for use.
− Avoid all draughts above the cooking surface.
− Position your cooking utensils in such a way that ris ing
vapour is directed under the extraction surface of the hood.
− Cooking with induction: set the intensity of the ap pliance
and hob as low as possible in order to limit excess vapour.
− If the appliance has an under-plate, ensure that it is always
properly closed. Take care that it is properly inserted into
the clamps and cannot come free. When opening the
under-plate, do not put your hands on the side of the
hinges in order to prevent being crushed.
− Do not place objects on top of the appliance, as these
may fall and cause a dangerous situation.
− If a suspension cable is damaged, the cooker hood may
no longer be used. The suspension cables may only be
replaced by a qualified professional.
− The suspension cables may be damaged if they are
overloaded. Do not let the cooker hood swing. Do not
pull on the cables.
− Objects placed on the appliance can overload the fas-
tening elements. The appliance can then go to fall down.
Do not place any objects on the appliance.
Air supply
With an appliance with recirculation, there must be a min-
imum of ventilation in the room where the appliance has
been installed / is positioned. Ventilation can be provided
by the overall ventilation in the home or by tilting a window
or opening a door.
Precautionary measures against damage
− The correct installation method is described in the in-
stallation instructions. Read these instructions through
carefully.
− The installation and electrical connection of the appliance
should be left to a recognised expert.
− NOVY cannot accept liability for any damage arising
from incorrect installation or connection.
− Check the distance between the hob and the appliance.
The minimum and maximum heights are shown in the
installation instructions.
Precautionary measures in the event of a fault
− If a fault occurs, switch off the appliance and disconnect
the power supply.
− Repairs should be carried out only by specialised person-
nel. Do not under any circumstances open the equipment
yourself. Contact the Novy service department.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Tips for saving energy
The new appliance is exceptionally efficient and econom-
ical with energy. Some tips follow below for making your
appliance even more energy-efficient.
− Switch the appliance on at the lowest speed when you
start cooking to adjust the relative humidity and eliminate
cooking odours.
− Only use the highest speed when absolutely necessary.
− Only increase the speed of the appliance when the quan-
tity of vapour so requires.
− Keep the appliance filter/filters clean to optimise grease
and odour filtering efficiency.
− Switch to higher power in good time if much vapour is
released. This is more efficient than using the appliance
for a long time, and catching vapour already spread in
the kitchen.
− Do not allow the appliance to unnecessarily ventilate
after cooking.
− Switch the lighting off when leaving the kitchen or if the
kitchen is already light enough.
− Ensure adequate air supply in the room, so that the
appliance can operate efficiently and economically.
− Put lids on the pots to reduce cooking vapours and
condensation.
