3. DAILY USE

3.1 Using the hood - manual mode

Check the recommended speed according to the table below.

0|1	While heating up food, cooking with covered pots.
2	While cooking with covered pots on multiple cooking zones or burners, gentle frying.
3	While boiling and frying big quantities of food without a lid, cooking on multiple cooking zones or burners.
	While boiling and frying big quantities of food without a lid, big humidity. After 8 minutes the appliance returns to previous setting.
	Refreshes the air in kitchen after cooking at a very low noise level. The function turns off automatically after 60 minutes. Use after cooking only.

It is recommended to leave the hood operating for approximately 15 minutes before and after cooking.

Activating the appliance

To operate the hood:

Press the desired fan speed button.

Deactivating the appliance

To turn off the fan touch the activated speed again or long press 011

Perfect Illumination - Lighting

The hood lighting works independently to other hood functions.

Activating and deactivating the lighting

To illuminate the cooking surface press button. Press the button again to change the light intensity in the following order: Maximum, Medium, Low, Off.

To switch off the lights, press and hold the button for 3 seconds.

Setting the light colour temperature

The hood remembers the last setting of the light intensity and colour temperature.

There are two ways to set the light colour temperature:

1. Press the button to change the colour temperature from neutral, through warm to cold.
2. Press and hold the button to move smoothly between light colour temperatures.
   Release it once you reach the desired setting.

AuroraTech®

It is a function that automatically adjusts the illumination colour and intensity based on the time of day, creating an optimal ambiance. Use the app to activate this function.

i

After activating from the app, the function will operate each time the lighting is switched on. You can still manually adjust the lighting settings using the

and 📷 Buttons. However, the AuroraTech® function will be deactivated.

3.2 Hob ^2 Hood function

It is a function that connects the hob to a hood. Both the hob and the hood are equipped with an infrared signal communicator. The fan speed is determined based on the mode setting and the temperature of the hottest cookware on the hob. Alternatively, you can manually control the fan using the hob. This function can be activated from the hob's control panel.

i

For more information how to use the function, refer to the hob user manual.

i

For information on how to use the function together with AutoSense function, refer to the AutoSense chapter.

3.3 Activating Boost Function

When you press and hold 2, the Boost function starts to operate for 8 minutes. After that time, the appliance returns to its previous speed settings.

3.4 AutoSense

The function automatically adjusts the fan speed level basing on the TVOC sensor (Total Volatile Organic Compounds), air temperature, and relative humidity coming from the hob.

1. Press to turn on the function. The function indicator lights up.
2. To turn off the function, press or any other speed level button on the hood control panel.

WARNING!

If your hob is equipped with the Hob ^2 Hood function, switch its mode to H1 to use it together with the AutoSense. In this mode, the AutoSense function and lighting are activated automatically each time the hob is turned on. Refer to hob user manual.

WARNING!

During the first 96 hours after plugging in the appliance, the function runs in a dedicated startup mode for air sensor tuning. Hood reactions may vary at the startup mode. During that time the (**) AUTO indicator pulsates.

WARNING!

A blackout or unplugging and plugging in the appliance again causes internal sensor self-tuning. It may take up to 24 hours for the function to regain full capability.

The AutoSense function can run for a maximum of 5 hours.

Pressing the button with the hood off will start the AutoSense function at Breeze speed by default. When another speed has been already selected and the fan is working, the AutoSense function will start at that speed.

CAUTION!

This function is sensitive to cleaning agents. After cleaning, wait at least half an hour before turning on the function to avoid unintentional activation of the Boost function.

When used with a gas hob, the function may operate at higher speeds due to gas combustion.

While preparing food that generates little odour over an extended period (e.g. simmering), the hood may stop and then restart within a few seconds. If the hob power level is very low, the generated odour may not be sufficient for AutoSense to function properly. If your hood switches off and does not restart, use manual mode to operate it.

To permanently deactivate the function:

1. Make sure the fan and the lighting are turned off.
2. Press and hold the and buttons. AUTO and indicators blink twice.
