1. Preferably use a low suction speed; only use the high speed if it is really necessary.
2. A well ventilated kitchen makes hood operation more efficient.
3. Clean the anti-grease filters regularly to maintain their efficiency.
4. A saturated filter is not efficient and cannot be used for long.
NEVER FLAME DISHES UNDER THE APPLIANCE
Never leave open flames under the hood while it is operating.
Fried foods require a permanent monitoring, overheated oil may catch fire.
The accessible parts of the hood may become hot when it is used with cooking appliances.
To obtain maximum efficiency in the absorption of smoke or fumes, run the hood for approximately 5 minutes before and after
cooking food:
•
low speeds are recommended when cooking on a low heat and for sauces, simmering, etc.
•
intermediate speeds are recommended for fast cooking, and fried or grilled foods.
•
high speeds are recommended for cooking that creates a lot of fat or vapour.
•
the extra fast speed is recommended in cases of sudden excessive release of vapours and fumes.
