Energy Saving Tips - Miele DA 6996 W Operating And Installation Instructions

Energy saving tips

This cooker hood 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 cooker
hood 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
cooker hood power level and
therefore benefit from reduced
energy consumption.
– Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.

– Use the Con@ctivity function. The
cooker hood 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 cooker hood
manually, please note the following:
– 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 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 cooker hood for
longer to try to capture cooking
vapours which have already been
distributed throughout the kitchen.
– Make sure that you switch the
cooker hood 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.
