3 Environmental Protection and Saving Energy

3.1 Disposing of Packaging

Packaging is environmentally compatible and recyclable. Sort components by type and dispose separately.

3.2 Saving Energy

Adjust fan speed to steam production. Lower speed uses less energy. Switch off lighting when not needed. Clean/replace filters regularly. Put cooking lid on. Use additional functions only when required.

4 Operating Modes

The appliance can be used in air extraction mode or circulating-air mode.

4.1 Air Extraction Mode

Air is cleaned by grease filters and conveyed outside via a pipe system. Air must not be discharged into a flue used by other appliances. Obtain consent from heating engineer if conveying to a non-functioning flue. Use a telescopic duct for external wall conveyance.

4.2 Air Recirculation

Air is cleaned by grease and odour filters and conveyed back into the room. An odour filter is required. Accessories are available from retailers or the online shop.

5 Familiarising Yourself with Your Appliance
