2. Product information

2.1 Functional principle

Diagram of a mechanical device emitting particles with motion arrows indicating airflow or movement (no text or symbols)

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 front panel or the underside (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 underside to the front and directed into the suction gap.

2.2 Recirculated air mode

The device is used in 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.
