Recirculation

If the cooker hood is to be used in the recirculation mode the special charcoal filter
must be used. This is available from your supplier as an accessory.

The contaminated air is cleaned by passing through the filters and then back into the
kitchen.

The charcoal filter absorbs od ours arising from cooking.

In use it will slowly become saturated in grease and less effective.

The charcoal filter normally requires changing after at least every three/four moths
or more frequently if the hood is used for more than three hours per day.

and out through the ducting into the atmosphere.
