Energy Saving Tips - Miele DA 2906 Operating And Installation Instructions

Energy saving tips

This rangehood operates very efficiently
and economically. The following will
help you to save even more energy
when using it:
– Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation in the kitchen when
cooking. In extraction mode, if there
is insufficient air flow the rangehood
cannot operate efficiently and this
causes increased operating noise
levels.
– Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking
vapours, so you can use a lower
rangehood power level and therefore
benefit from reduced energy
consumption.
– Use the Con@ctivity function. The
rangehood will switch on and off
automatically at the optimum power
level for the cooking you are doing,
which ensures low energy
consumption.
– If you are operating the rangehood
manually, please note the following:
– Check the power level selected on
the rangehood. A lower power
level is generally sufficient for the
majority of cooking. Only use the
intensive setting when necessary.
– When a large volume of cooking
vapours are being produced,
switch to a high power level in
good time. This is more efficient
than operating the rangehood for
longer to try to capture cooking
vapours which have already been
distributed throughout the kitchen.

– Make sure that you switch the
rangehood off after use.
If cooking vapours and odours still
need to be removed from the
kitchen air after cooking, use the
run-on function. The fan will
switch off automatically after the
selected run-on time.
– Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.
