3. Recirculation mode / Extraction mode
3.1 Extraction mode
WARNING!
Do not lead the exhaust air into a chimney which is used
for extracting exhaust air of appliances operated by gas or other
combustibles.
❖
The extractor hood is
usually
ready for the use in extraction mode (modifications
are possible).
❖
In extraction mode, the intake air is led through an exhaust hose to the outside.
For this purpose, an exhaust shaft or an outwardly leading exhaust pipe
must
be
available in your home.
If your appliance is equipped with a carbon filter, you
must
remove the carbon
filter
before
you operate the appliance in extraction mode!
If you want to use the extractor hood in extraction mode, please
always
observe
the instructions given in chapter 2. I
NSTALLATION
et seq.
and
in chapter 2.5.2
I
NSTALLATION OF THE EXTRACTOR HOOD

3.2 Recirculation mode
❖
You can also use the appliance in recirculation mode.
❖
If you
do not
use an exhaust air pipe to the outside for the installation of the
extractor hood,
the
exhaust hose is not required
.
❖
In recirculation mode, the exhaust air is led back into the kitchen (s. fig. below).
❖
If you want to use the extractor hood in recirculation mode, you can install carbon
filters (s. chapter 3.2.1 C
ARBON FILTERS
).
❖
In addition to the grease filters (must
always
be installed), carbon filters also
neutralise odours and absorb fine dust particles, etc. In this way, carbon filters
additionally improve the exhaust air that is returned to the kitchen. We
always
recommend the use of carbon filters
in recirculation mode
.
The installation of the extractor hood
is the same
as described in chapter 2.5.2
I
NSTALLATION OF THE EXTRACTOR HOOD
(please
ignore
step 13.
«
E
XTRACTION
MODE
»
and
step 19.
).
Only in recirculation mode you can use
CARBON FILTERS
to eliminate
cooking vapours and odours.
