Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam pro-
duced during cooking.
¡ The lower the fan speed, the less energy is con-
sumed.

If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a
higher fan speed in good time.
¡ The odours are distributed around the room less.
Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.

Clean or replace the filters at regular intervals.
¡ The effectiveness of the filter is retained.
Put the cooking lid on.

duced.
4.1 Air extraction mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease fil-
ters and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system.
The air must not be discharged into a
flue that is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other
fuels (not applicable to appliances that
only discharge the air back into the
room).
¡ If the exhaust air is to be conveyed
into a non-functioning smoke or ex-
haust gas flue, you must obtain the
consent of the heating engineer re-
sponsible.
¡ If the exhaust air is conveyed
through the external wall, a telesco-
pic duct should be used.
