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 crease 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.
in the charcoal filters removes odour
and 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.
