2. Product information
2.1 Functional principle

Centrifugal force
- Cooking vapours are drawn through a gap and into the hood where they are accelerated and routed through bends.
- The resultant centrifugal force ejects particles of dirt (e.g. particles or grease and oil) out of the air.
- The dirt particles are separated out and collected on the upper and lower section as well as a catchment screen ("Capillar Trap").
Back-flow technology
- Condensate or droplet formation on the decorative panel (e.g. if steam touches the cold surface) is prevented by a vent installed from the bottom to the top.
- Part of the vented air quantity is fed to the back of the extractor hood, blown over the glass front and directed into the suction gap.
2.2 Operating modes
The device is suitable for the following operating modes:
- Recirculated air mode
- Extracted air mode
- Hybrid mode
2.2.1 Recirculated air mode
The filter filling in the recirculated air filter neutralises any smelly odours present. The odour-free, cleaned room air is fed back into the room. The humidity in the room can be reduced with the fresh air feed.
In recirculated air mode, it is necessary to use the run-on function so that the device can remove the remaining odours. Using the run-on function increases the life of the filter filling. The filter filling must be replaced at regular intervals.
2.2.2 Extracted air mode
The cleaned room air can be routed to the outside via the building structure (e.g. ducting, chimney).
With extracted air mode an adequate fresh air supply is required. The device can only extract the amount of air to the outside that is present in the room or which is drawn into the room.
2.2.3 Hybrid mode
In hybrid mode, it is possible to select flexibly between recirculated air mode and extracted air mode.
In extracted air mode, the cleaned room air is routed to the outside through the wall box which opens automatically. Extracted air mode is recommended in summer or with particularly intensive frying.
In recirculated air mode the wall box remains closed. The filter filling in the hybrid filter neutralises any smelly odours present. The odour-free, cleaned room air is fed back into the room.
The recirculated air mode is recommended in winter if no warm room air is to be surrendered to the outside.
