of the appliance (highest
power level / boost function) to extract strong concentration of cooking fumes
only. A lower power level always means a lower energy consumption.
❖ Make sure there is sufficient supply air to allow the extractor hood to operate
efficiently and with low operating noise.
❖ In the case of a strong concentration of cooking fumes select a higher power level
early. Cooking fumes which are already distributed in the kitchen may require a
longer operation of the extractor hood.
❖ Clean the grease filter(s) regularly as clean filters will increase the efficiency of the
appliance.
❖ Replace the carbon filters (for recirculation mode only) regularly. Observe the
information given on the packaging of the carbon filters.
