Energy-saving tips
34
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 extraction 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.
- Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.
- Use the Con@ctivity function. The
ventilation hood will switch on and off
automatically. The ventilation hood
will select the optimum power level
for the cooking you are doing, which
ensures low energy consumption.
- If you are operating the ventilation
hood manually, please note the
following:
– Check the power level selected on
the ventilation hood. A low power
level is usually sufficient. Only use
the Booster setting 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.
If cooking vapors and odors still
need to be removed from the
kitchen air after cooking, use the
delayed shutdown function. The
blower will switch off automatically
after the selected delayed
shutdown time.
