Correct ventilation
The extractor works best when there
is low pressure in the kitchen.
Therefore, the kitchen windows must
be closed when the extractor is in
operation. At the same time, it is a
good idea to open a window in an
adjacent room; see fig.
Always start the extractor a few
minutes before you start preparing
food.
Always continue to ventilate after
you finish preparing food. Use inten-
sive extraction with automatic stop
or time-controlled switching off after
15 minutes.

Carry out daily cleaning with a well
wrung-out cloth. For more stubborn
soiling, use a cloth or a soft plastic
sponge together with washing-up
liquid or all-purpose cleaner.
Never use metal cleaning pads,
metal wool, hard plastic sponges,
scouring powder, soft soap or other
abrasive or caustic cleaning agents.
After use, wipe the extractor with a
damp cloth and washing-up liquid. If
necessary, finish off with a clean,
dry cloth.
