3.1 Controls panel
L : Light
Switches the lighting system on and off
M : Motor Switches the extractor motor on and off
V : Speed Sets the operating speed of the extractor:
1. Low speed, used for a continuous and silent air change in the presence of light
cooking vapour.
2. Medium speed, suitable for most operating conditions given the optimum
treated air flow/noise level ratio.
3. Maximum speed, used for eliminating the highest cooking vapour emission,
including long periods.
• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate
kitchen smells.
• Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
• Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure
that it does not engulf the sides.
• Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can
burst into flames.
3.2 Efficient use in terms of energy saving
• When using your appliance, adjust the speed settings according to vapour and
odour intensity, in order to save energy.
• Use low speeds (1-2) under normal conditions, and high speed (3) and boost mode
for intense odour and vapour.
• The hood is equipped with lamps in order to illuminate the cooking area.
• Using them for environmental lighting shall cause unnecessary energy expenditure
and insufficient lighting.
• For your device to consume less energy, run it at a low speed level.
• Your device will reduce energy consumption as it will run more efficiently when you
provide sufficient air intake to it.
• Set your device to the intense suction power level before the formation of steam,
in cases where you know that the dense steam will occur. So, you reduce energy
consumption by using your device for a shorter time as it will have a sufficient air
intake.
• Keep the lids of the cookware closed to reduce the steam evolving.
