Energy Saving Tips - Miele DAR 1125 Operating And Installation Instructions

This cooker hood operates very effi-
ciently and economically. The following
will help you to save even more energy
when using it:
– Ensure that there is sufficient ventila-
tion in the kitchen when cooking. In
extraction mode, if there is insuffi-
cient air flow the cooker hood cannot
operate efficiently and this causes in-
creased operating noise levels.
– Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking
vapours, so you can use a lower
cooker hood power level and there-
fore benefit from reduced energy
consumption.
– Check the power level selected on
the cooker hood. A lower power level
is generally sufficient for the majority
of cooking. Only use the Booster set-
ting when necessary.
– When a large volume of cooking va-
pours is being produced, switch to a
high power level in good time. This is
more efficient than operating the
cooker hood for longer to try to cap-
ture cooking vapours which have
already been distributed throughout
the kitchen.
– Make sure that you switch the cooker
hood off after use.
– Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.
