− Make use of the delay position if the appliance has one.
The instructions for the delay position are set out in these
directions for use.
− Avoid all draughts above the cooking surface.
− Position your cooking utensils in such a way that ris ing
vapour is directed under the extraction surface of the hood.
− Cooking with induction: set the intensity of the ap pliance
and hob as low as possible in order to limit excess vapour.
− If the appliance has an bottom panel, ensure that it is
always properly closed. Take care that it is properly in-
serted into the clamps and cannot come free. When
opening the bottom panel, do not put your hands on
the side of the hinges in order to prevent being crushed.
− Do not place objects on top of the appliance, as these
may fall and cause a dangerous situation.
Air supply
However large the kitchen or the room with open kitchen
is, only so much air can be extracted from the room as is
supplied. Too little air supply could result in a yield loss
of 50% and more.
[!] If the extraction is used at the same time as a combus-
tion system (for example heaters fired by gas, oil, wood
or coal, hot water boilers using gas, gas hobs and gas
ovens), combustion gases may be sucked back in and
lead to poisoning.
A combustion system uses air from the room as combustion
air. Combustion gases arise as a result, which are removed
to the outside by an extraction system.
The appliance sucks in air from the kitchen and adjacent
rooms. Negative pressure occurs if the air supply is inad-
equate. The toxic gases are then sucked back from the
chimney or extraction duct into the room.
With simultaneous use of the appliance and combustion
appliances in the same room, the negative pressure may
not exceed 4 Pa (=0.04 mBar). Negative pressure can be
prevented by allowing sufficient air into the room through
openings that cannot be closed (for example through win-
dows or doors, in combination with a ventilation cabinet
in the wall).
Have an expert assess the overall ventilation system in
your home for a proposal on suitable measures in the
area of air supply.
When using the appliance with an internal or external mo-
tor (unit) with air extraction to the outside, there must be
adequate air supply in the room where the appliance has
been installed / is positioned, so that fresh air can flow in.
Fresh air can be provided by tilting a window, opening a
door or installing an inlet grille.
With an appliance with recirculation, there must be a min-
imum of ventilation in the room where the appliance has
been installed / is positioned. Ventilation can be provided
by the overall ventilation in the home or by tilting a window
or opening a door.
Certain appliances are fitted with a connection for a win-
dow contact switch (see the technical specifications for
your appliance). If the appliance is to operate at the same
time as a heating appliance that needs air from the room,
and if the required supply can only take place through
a single open window, there is the option of connecting
the appliance to a window contact switch (not included).
This ensures that the appliance operates only when the
window is open. If the window is closed, the fan cannot
be switched on.
Contact your technician for the correct accessories for
your appliance.
Precautionary measures against damage
− The correct installation method is described in the in-
stallation instructions. Read these instructions through
carefully.
− The installation and electrical connection of the appliance
should be left to a recognised expert.
− NOVY cannot accept liability for any damage arising
from incorrect installation or connection.
− Check the distance between the hob and the appliance.
The minimum and maximum heights are shown in the
installation instructions.
Precautionary measures in the event of a fault
− If a fault occurs, switch off the appliance and disconnect
the power supply.
− Repairs should be carried out only by specialised person-
nel. Do not under any circumstances open the equipment
yourself. Contact the Novy service department.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Tips for saving energy
The new appliance is exceptionally efficient and econom-
ical with energy. Some tips follow below for making your
appliance even more energy-efficient.
− Switch the appliance on at the lowest speed when you
start cooking to adjust the relative humidity and eliminate
cooking odours.
− Only use the highest speed when absolutely necessary.
− Only increase the speed of the appliance when the quan-
tity of vapour so requires.
− Keep the appliance filter/filters clean to optimise grease
and odour filtering efficiency.
− Switch to higher power in good time if much vapour is
released. This is more efficient than using the appliance
for a long time, and catching vapour already spread in
the kitchen.
− Do not allow the appliance to unnecessarily ventilate
after cooking.
− Switch the lighting off when leaving the kitchen or if the
kitchen is already light enough.
− Ensure adequate air supply in the room, so that the
appliance can operate efficiently and economically.
− Put lids on the pots to reduce cooking vapours and
condensation.
