Environmental protection
Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here you
can find tips on how to save even more energy when using the
appliance, and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient supply of air
■
so that the extractor hood can work efficiently and with a low
level of operating noise.
Adjust the fan speed to the intensity of the cooking fumes.
■
Only use intensive mode where this is required. A lower fan
speed means that less energy is consumed.
If there are intensive cooking fumes, select a higher fan
■
speed in good time. If cooking fumes have already spread in
the kitchen, the extractor hood must be operated for longer.
Switch off the extractor hood if you no longer require it.
■
Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
■
Clean and, if required, replace the filter at regular intervals in
■
order to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation system
and to prevent the risk of fire.
Operating modes
This appliance can be used in exhaust-air mode or circulating-
air mode.
Exhaust air mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the
grease filters and conveyed to the exterior
by a pipe system.
Note: The exhaust air must not be conveyed into a functioning
smoke or exhaust gas flue or into a shaft which is used to
ventilate installation rooms which contain heat-producing
appliances.
Before conveying the exhaust air into a non-functioning
■
smoke or exhaust gas flue, obtain the consent of the heating
engineer responsible.
If the exhaust air is conveyed through the outer wall, a
■
telescopic wall box should be used.
