Operating instructions
The hood must be switched on at least a couple of min-
utes before starting to cook, to promote the suction of
fumes and steam.
After finishing cooking, leave the hood in operation for an
extra few minutes: in this case, it may be appropriate to
activate the "Timer" function, which automatically switch-

The page that follows shows how to use the con-

What speed should I use?
The unit operates at three different speeds:
speed 1: purifies the air whilst limiting electricity con-

speed 2: normal conditions of use (e.g. steam suction)
speed 3: for the elimination of particularly intense fumes
and smells (e.g: when frying or grilling).
