(6)

‘microwave heating’ means heating of food using electromagnetic energy;

(7)

‘conventional mode’ means the operation mode of an oven only using natural convection for circulation of heated air inside the cavity of the oven;

(8)

‘fan-forced mode’ means a mode of an oven when a built-in fan circulates heated air inside the cavity of the oven;

(9)

‘cycle’ means the period of heating a standardised load in a cavity of an oven under defined conditions;

(10)

‘cooker’ means an appliance consisting of an oven and a hob using gas or electricity;

‘fully automatic range hood’ means a range hood in which the air flow and/or other functions are automatically controlled through sensor(s) during 24 hours including the cooking period;

(16)

‘best efficiency point’ (BEP) means the range hood operating point with maximum fluid dynamic efficiency (FDE_hood);

(17)

‘lighting efficiency’ (LE_hood) means the ratio between the average illumination of the lighting system of the domestic range hood and the power of the lighting system in lux/W;

(18)

‘grease filtering efficiency’ (GFE_hood) means the relative share of grease retained within the range hood grease filters;

(19)

‘off mode’ means a condition in which the appliance is connected to the mains power source but is not providing any function or only provides an indication of off mode condition, or only provides functionalities intended to ensure electromagnetic compatibility pursuant to Directive 2004/108/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(1);

(20)

‘standby mode’ means a condition where the appliance is connected to the mains power source, depends on energy input from the mains power source to work as intended and provides only reactivation function, or reactivation function and only an indication of enabled reactivation function, and/or information or status display which may persist for an indefinite time;

(21)

‘reactivation function’ means a function facilitating the activation of other modes, including the active mode, by remote switch including remote control, internal sensor, or timer to a condition providing additional functions, including the main function;
