Instructions for use
You may control the kitchen hood by operating the

Switch on the extractor fan a few minutes before you
start to cook in order to ensure that a steady air flow
has been established before fumes appear.

you have finished cooking (between 3 to 5 minutes) in
order to expel all the grease from the outlet duct. This
prevents the return of grease, smoke and smells.
