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 charcoal filter absorbs odours 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 months or more frequently if the hood is
used for more than three hours per day.

the atmosphere.
