Saving energy

▯
During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient
supply of air to enable the extractor hood to
work efficiently and with a low level of operating
noise.
▯
Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam
produced during cooking. Only use intensive
mode when required. The lower the fan speed,
the less energy is consumed.
▯
If cooking produces large amounts of steam,
select a higher fan speed in good time. If the
cooking steam has already spread around the
kitchen, the extractor hood will need to be
operated for longer.
▯
Switch off the extractor hood if you no longer
require it.
▯
Switch off the light 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.
▯
Put the lid on to reduce cooking steam and
condensation.
