Technical data

Using the appliance

Controls panel

L| Light| Switches the lighting system on and off.
V| Speed| Sets the operating speed of the extractor:

0. Speed switches the extractor motor off.

1. Low speed, used for a continuous and silent air change in the presence of light cooking vapour.

2. Medium speed, suitable for most ope- rating conditions given the optimum treated air flow/noise level ratio.

3. Maximum speed, used for eliminating the highest cooking vapour emission, including long periods.

• The extractor hood has been designed exclusivelyfor domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
• Never use the hood for purposes other than forwhich it has been designed.
• Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto thebottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
• Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated can burst into flames.

Efficient use in terms of energy saving

• When using your appliance, adjust the speed settings according to vapour and odour intensity,in order to save energy.
• Use low speeds (1-2) under normal conditions, and high speed (3) and boost mode for intense odour and vapour.
• The hood is equipped with lamps in order to illuminatethe cooking area.
• Using them for environmental lighting shall cause unnecessary energy expenditure and insufficient lighting.
• For your device to consume less energy, run it at a low speed level.
• Your device will reduce energy consumption asit will run more efficiently when you provide sufficient air intake to it.
• Set your device to the intense suction powerlevel before the formation of steam, in cases where you know that the dense steam will occur.So, you reduce energy consumption by using your device for a shorter time as it will have a sufficient air intake.
• Keep the lids of the cookware closed to reduce the steam evolving.

Operating the Hood

• Hood is equipped with a motor having various speed settings.
• For a better performance, we advise you to use low speeds in normal conditions, and high speedswhen smell and vapors are intensified.
