LIGHT SWITCH L = controls the worktop illumination;
MOTOR SWITCH M = controls the power to the motor and the fan speed:
Position 1 = low speed, should be selected when simmering or using only one pan: the
noise level is kept to the minimum.

best ratio between air capacity and noise level.
Position 3 = top speed, should be selected when frying or cooking food with strong odours,
even for a long period.
