The use of an unprotected flame is dangerous for the filters and could cause fires. Therefore, never use an open flame under the hood. When frying foods, never leave the pan unattended because the cooking oil could flare up. For the best performance, we recommend using the low speeds in normal conditions and the high speeds when strong odour and vapour concentrations are present. We recommend starting the hood a few minutes before cooking and keeping it running for at least 15 minutes until all the odours have been eliminated. d) Remount the new filter or the old one after it has dried thoroughly.
