How to save energy

Although the cooker hood operates efficiently, the following will help you to save even more
energy during use:
• E nsure that there is sufficient ventilation
in the kitchen when cooking. If there is
insufficient air flow, the appliance cannot
operate efficiently and this may increase
noise levels.
• Use your cooking appliance at the lowest
energy setting possible. This will generate
less cooking vapours, so you can use
a lower cooker hood power level and
therefore benefit from reduced energy
consumption.
• Always check the power level selected
on the cooker hood before turning on
the appliance. If possible, always use
the cooker hood with the switch in the "I"
position. This setting is generally sufficient
in the majority of cooking situations.
• Make sure you switch off the cooker hood
after use.

• C lean the mesh filters frequently and
according to the instructions. Replace
the active carbon filters frequently and
according to the instructions. Heavily
soiled filters have a negative impact on
performance and efficiency.
• Make sure the ducting has no bends
sharper than 90 degrees as this will
reduce the efficiency of the cooker hood.
• Switch on the cooker before you start
the cooking, so the air flow has time to
establish itself.
• When the cooker hood is used in
recirculation mode (with active carbon
filter), keep the hood switched on until the
filter is dry.
