A:
The recommended installation height is 700mm above gas and 650mm above electrical. On either
application it is recommended that your installation height does not exceed 750mm to ensure the best results.
Q: Do I require a recirculation kit?
A:
No. The extractor was designed to be used on both applications; External and Re-circulation air operation
and no additional kit are required.
4. Q: What is the difference between External and Re-circulation air operation?
A: Re- circulation;
All wall mount units are supplied with aluminium and charcoal filters. For Re-circulation
mode you will simply install the unit. The air will filtrate through both sets of filters, you’re outside aluminium
filters
and
you’re inside charcoal filters.
The air discharged from your extractor is then clean and grease free
and cannot cause any damage. There are two options when using your extractor on Re-circulation. 1
– Let the
filtrated air escape through the vents on top of your top chimney or you can use the extendable ducting house
to vent the air into your ceiling.
Activated charcoal in the charcoal filters removes odour and some smoke
particles from the air before releasing the cleaned air back into the kitchen.
•
External: The only difference between Re-circulation mode and external mode is that on external mode you
are venting the air to the outside of your property using a ducting hose. This means the clean filtrated air will
not be discharged into your kitchen or ceiling but to the outside. The unit is supplied with an extendable
ducting hose. When venting your air outwards the charcoal filters can be removed to improve the suction rate.
Removing the charcoal filters on re-circulation mode is not recommended.
|
Please note that the wall fitting that fits into your wall when venting your air outwards is not supplied
with the extractor and can be purchased locally.
