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
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.
5. Q: How does an Extractor Fan work?

Extractor fans are designed to remove
airborne grease, steam, heat smoke and odours
from cooking by extracting and filtration of the air in your kitchen and above your cooking
surface.

NO. Downlights, bulbs, aluminium and Charcoal filters and are not covered under the
guarantee period. For the full list of terms and condition of the guarantee period please read

7. Q: How often do I have to replace my filters?
A:
With daily use we recommend that you replace your charcoal filters every 6 months. Your
aluminium filters can be cleaned in luke warm water and dishwashing liquid. Please do not
put your aluminium filters in the dishwasher as this will discolour the filters and they will
become dull. Alternatively you just purchase new aluminium filters.

All our extractor fans carry a two year guarantee. Motors, PC Boards, Capacitors,
Transformers (for units with 12volt downlights), 220Volt light sockets(for units with normal
220v light bulbs), Main Control Switches and motor fan blades are covered by our two year
parts and labour guarantee.

10. Q: How do I clean my Stainless steel extractor?
A:
Always ensure your extractor is cleaned with non-abrasive cleaners. Always read the
product instructions and ensure that the product is safe for the use of Stainless steel. Two
great products are window cleaner, which is also a stainless steel cleaner, and spray on wood
polish, another certified stainless steel cleaner. Please note that abrasive cleaners will
damage the stainless steel and will cause rust or rust stains.
