FALMEC QUASAR Mode D'emploi page 17

For maximum efficiency, the third speed should be used when there are strong odours or a lot
of steam, the second speed in normal conditions, and the first speed for keeping the air clean
with minimum energy consumption. The range hood should be switched on when starting to
cook, and left on until the odours disappear.
