Tips on saving energy
21
This downdraft extractor operates very
efficiently and economically. The follow-
ing will help you to save even more en-
ergy when using it:
- It is important to ensure that the kit-
chen is well ventilated during opera-
tion. In extraction mode if there is in-
sufficient air flow, the downdraft ex-
tractor 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
power level and therefore benefit
from reduced energy consumption.
- Check the selected power level on
the downdraft extractor. A low power
level is usually sufficient. Only use the
Booster setting when necessary.
- When a large volume of cooking va-
pours are being produced, switch to
a high power level in good time. This
is more efficient than operating the
downdraft extractor for longer to try
to capture cooking vapours which
have already been distributed
throughout the kitchen.
- Switch the downdraft extractor off
after cooking.
- Clean or replace the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.
