Environmental Protection; Saving Energy; Environmentally-Friendly Disposal; Operating Modes - Siemens LC28BH542 Instruction Manual

Causes of damage
Caution!
Risk of damage due to corrosion. Always switch on the
appliance while cooking to avoid condensation. Condensate
can produce corrosion damage.
Always replace faulty bulbs to prevent the remaining bulbs from
overloading.
Risk of damage due to ingress of humidity into the electronic
circuitry. Never clean operator controls with a wet cloth.

Environmental protection

Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here you
can find tips on how to save even more energy when using the
appliance, and how to dispose of your appliance properly.

Saving energy

During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient supply of air
■
so that the extractor hood can work efficiently and with a low
level of operating noise.
Adjust the fan speed to the intensity of the cooking fumes.
■
Only use intensive mode where this is required. A lower fan
speed means that less energy is consumed.
If there are intensive cooking fumes, select a higher fan
■
speed in good time. If cooking fumes have already spread in
the kitchen, the extractor hood must be operated for longer.
Switch off the extractor hood if you no longer require it.
■
Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
■
Clean and, if required, replace the filter at regular intervals in
■
order to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation system
and to prevent the risk of fire.

Operating modes

This appliance can be used in exhaust-air mode or circulating-
air mode.

Exhaust air mode

The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the
grease filters and conveyed to the exterior
by a pipe system.
Note: The exhaust air must not be conveyed into a functioning
smoke or exhaust gas flue or into a shaft which is used to
ventilate installation rooms which contain heat-producing
appliances.
Before conveying the exhaust air into a non-functioning
■
smoke or exhaust gas flue, obtain the consent of the heating
engineer responsible.
If the exhaust air is conveyed through the outer wall, a
■
telescopic wall box should be used.
Surface damage due to incorrect cleaning. Clean stainless
steel surfaces in the direction of the grain only. Do not use any
stainless steel cleaners for operator controls.
Surface damage due to strong or abrasive cleaning agents.
Never use strong and abrasive cleaning agents.
Risk of damage from returning condensate. Install the exhaust
duct in such a way that it falls away from the appliance slightly
(1° slope).

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used
electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical
and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline
determines the framework for the return and recycling
of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Circulating-air mode

The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the
grease filters and an activated carbon filter
and conveyed back into the kitchen.
Notes
To bind odours in circulating-air mode, you must install an
■
activated carbon filter. The different options for operating the
appliance in circulating-air mode can be found in the
brochure. Alternatively, ask your dealer. The required
accessories are available from specialist retailers, from
customer service or from the Online Shop.
For appliances with an additional internal filter, only the
■
CleanAir recirculation module (see Accessories for
circulating-air mode) can be used.
