WARNING
Fire hazard due to grease residue!
In operation grease residue, which is highly inflammable,
collects in and on the device.
☞
Clean the device properly.

To achieve optimal efficiency in removing cooking fumes:
☞
Turn the device on 1-2 minutes before you start cooking.
This allows the flow of air to build up, and the fumes are
removed at an early stage.
☞
During the cooking process, switch to a power level that
is appropriate for the intensity of the cooking vapours:
y
Power level 1 - lowest fan power
y
Power level 2 - medium fan power
y
Power level 3 - high fan power
☞
If the intensity of the cooking fumes does not subside,
switch to a higher power level.
☞
Switch to the Power setting when searing. After 6 minutes,
the device automatically switches back to power level 3.
To activate the Power setting permanently,
the corresponding button must be pushed again.
Then the device doesn’t switch back.
☞
Check the fresh air supply at regular intervals.
☞
Use the device also to reduce other unpleasant smells.
Such as from:
y
Onions and garlic
y
Oven, microwave and steamer
y
Fondue and raclette
☞
Turn on the run-on function when you have finished
cooking.
☞
After use, turn the device off. If the automatic run-on
function is activated, the run-on time (10 minutes) starts
in power level 1.
With use of the BackFlow technology, if a power level is
active then a gentle air flow is routed from the air channel
on the underside of the device to the front air inlet. This air
circulation is necessary. The air channel on the underside of
the device must never be closed off.
After 12 hours without operation, the device (including
lighting), the device automatically shuts off.
