Energy-saving tips This hood operates in a very efficient and energy-saving manner. The following will help you to save even more energy when using it: - Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the kitchen when cooking. If there is insufficient air flow during vented mode, the hood cannot operate efficiently, causing increased operating noise levels. - Always cook with the lowest possible setting. This produces fewer cooking vapors so that you can use a lower hood power level and therefore benefit from reduced energy consumption. - When a large volume of cooking vapors are being produced, switch to a high power level in good time. This is more efficient than operating the hood for longer to try to capture cooking vapors that have already been distributed throughout the kitchen. - Make sure that you switch off the hood after use. - Clean or change the filters at regular intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce performance, increase the risk of fire and are unhygienic. 18
