Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power.
Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced during cooking.

The lower the fan speed, the less energy is consumed. Only use the intensive mode as required.
If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a higher fan speed in good time.
The odours are distributed around the room less.
Switch off the lighting if it is no longer required.
When the lighting is switched off, it does not consume any energy.
Clean or replace the filters at regular intervals.
The effectiveness of the filter is retained.
Put the cooking lid on.
The cooking vapours and condensation are reduced.
Only use the additional functions if required.
Switching off additional functions reduces power consumption.

Operating modes

4.1 Air recirculation mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and an odour filter, and conveyed back into the
room.

To bind odours in circulating-air mode, you must install an odour filter. The different options for operating the appliance in circulating-air mode can be found in our catalogue.
Alternatively, ask your dealer. The required accessories are available from specialist retailers, from customer service or from the Online Shop.
