Using the appliance

Controlling the appliance

Operating the hood

Your appliance contains a motor that has various speeds.
For better performance, we recommend using low speeds under normal conditions and high speeds in cases of strong odors and intense vapor.
You can start your appliance by pressing the desired speed setting button. (I, II, III)
When the slider panel is opened, the lamp lights up, when the slider is closed, the lamp goes out.

Energy efficient usage

When using your appliance, adjust the speed settings according to vapor and odor intensity, to save energy.
Use low speeds (I-II) under normal con-ditions, and high speeds (III) for intense odour and vapour.
The lamps on the hood are placed to illuminate the 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 as it will run more efficiently when you provide sufficient air intake to it.
Set your device to the intense suction power level before the formation of steam, in cases where you know that 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.

Operation with chimney connection

Vapour is extracted through the flue duct, which is fastened to the connec-tion head on the hood.
The diameter of the flue duct must be the same as the connection ring. In horizontal settings, the pipe has to have a slight upward slope (around 10º) so that the air can exit the room easily.

Operation without a chimney connection

Air is filtered through the carbon filter and recirculated in the room. The carbon filter is used when it is impossible to use a flue in the house.
In flueless use, remove the flaps inside the flue adapter.
