Extraction mode or recirculation mode?
What is the difference between extraction and recirculation
modes?
o To get optimum performance from your cooker, the air will be taken
out of the room via external ducting.
o Unfortunately if you live in a flat or the hood is too far from an
outside wall, this may not be possible. The only alternative is to
recirculate the air.
o In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and
passed through a charcoal filter for purification. The air then re-
enters the kitchen via the vent in the upper chimney section.
What is a charcoal filter and do I need one?
o All rangehoods have grease filters but if you are using your
rangehood in recirculation mode, then charcoal filters must be
fitted in addition to the grease filters.
o IMPORTANT: If you are using the appliance in recirculation
mode, then PLEASE NOTE that most of the vent in the upper
chimney section must be exposed. You will have to take this into
account when calculating the minimum height of the rangehood
when installed.
