Operation Switch on the chimney hood prior to cooking. Select the fan speed you would require depending on the type of cooking being done. 3 for high extraction level, 2 for medium and 1 for low. If required, you can illuminate the cooking area by switching the hood lights on. Leave the hood running for a short period after the cooking has been completed to clear any smoke and odours.
Cleaning and maintaining stainless steel chimney hoods On stainless steel models, some components have a coloured protective film which protects against accidental scratching. This film should be removed before operating the hood. Stainless steel is not adversely affected by normal household use but because of it’s reputation for durability, it is sometimes assumed to be indestructible, and therefore subjected to misuse or even abuse.
Service If you have followed the instructions and still have a problem, contact the nearest Defy Service Centre. They will be able to advise you on any aspect of the hood or send a qualified technician to repair it.
