This can be implemented by boos-ting ventilation on the whole or for individual rooms. Asan example, the damper of the cooker hood is keptopen during cooking, but at other times it is shut or inthe minimum position.Cooker hood operating controlsThe cooker hood operates in the dwelling as a localextraction valve of the cooker, as a generalextraction valve in the kitchen and as the adjustmentdevice for the ventilation system.NOTE!In order to produce a sufficientexchange of air, follow the venti-lation plan that defines the posi-tion of the controller in a normalliving situation.• Boosts the capacity to capturecooking odours.• Cooking on a cooker or in the oven.• Unusual load situation in the kitchen(such as using heavy detergentsor a large number of guests).Rotary-actuated ventilationcontrollerCooker hood light switchTurned to the left with thedamper in the off position:• Normal living situation, boostsextraction in the other rooms.USE OF COOKER HOOD• SLIM-LINE cooker hood is equipped with awithdrawable glass. It is recommended to hold theedging strips of the glass when pulling the glassout and pushing it in.• In boosted cooker hood operation situations, suchas during cooking, it is recommended to pull theglass out to the maximum position. This increasesthe capacity of the hood to capture cookingodours.• In other situations, such as during basic ventilation,the glass can be pushed in to the minimumposition.Closing ventilation in the dwelling also prevents the supply of pure outdoor air into the dwelling as well as the taking out of dirty air. Impurities coming frompeople, structures and the earth, such as carbon dioxide, humidity, smells, formaldehyde, dust and radon, quickly spoil room air and cause health damage.Excessive humidity may destroy structures and cause mould and fungal growth. Because of this the building regulations require that ventilation is in operation allthe time and that its power is regulated according to the needs of the user.WARNINGCooker hood damper controllerRotary-actuated controllerTurned to the right with thedamper in the open position:© VALLOX • We reserve the right to make changes without prior notice. www.vallox.comVallox Slim LinePTXPCooker hoodMC• 1.09.611ENG• Updated10.9.2015• Valid from10.9.2015© VALLOX1.
