Abstract
A ventilator hood includes a voice operating unit with a microphone. A motion detector detects the position of an operator and an output signal, generated by the microphone, based upon a distance, picked up by the motion detector, of the operator from the household appliance. This signal is amplified in accordance with the distance.
