Question 1

Where is the charcoal filter located on the SIGNATURE SHD90FLIGNE hood?

Accepted Answer

The charcoal filter of your SIGNATURE hood model SHD90FLIGNE is located inside the hood, usually behind the grease filter. To locate and access it, follow these steps:

Turn off and unplug the hood to ensure your safety before any handling.
Remove the grease filter by unscrewing or unclipping it depending on your hood's fastening system.
Access the charcoal filter which is located behind the grease filter. It is often secured by clips or screws.
Replace or clean the charcoal filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Make sure to use a filter compatible with the SHD90FLIGNE model.

This operation helps maintain the efficiency of your hood by ensuring proper filtration of cooking odors and smoke.

Question 2

How can I tell if the SIGNATURE SHD90FLIGNE hood is set to recirculation mode?

Accepted Answer

To determine if your SIGNATURE hood model SHD90FLIGNE is operating in recirculation mode, here are the points to check:

1. Presence of activated charcoal filters

The recirculation mode uses charcoal filters to purify the air before returning it to the kitchen. If your hood is equipped with these filters, it is likely set to recirculation mode.

2. Checking the exhaust system

If an exhaust duct is connected to the hood and leads outside, the hood is in exhaust mode.
If no exhaust duct is installed or if the air outlet is closed, the hood operates in recirculation mode.

3. Indicators on the control panel

Some models have indicators or pictograms on the control panel showing the active mode (exhaust or recirculation). Check for the presence of these visual signals.

4. Noise level

The recirculation mode may generate slightly more noise due to the operation of the charcoal filters, which can be an additional clue.

By combining these elements, you will be able to easily identify if your hood is set to recirculation mode.

Question 3

Is it mandatory to connect the ventilation pipe of the SIGNATURE SHD90FLIGNE hood to the outside?

Accepted Answer

For the SIGNATURE hood model SHD90FLIGNE, connecting the ventilation pipe to the outside is not strictly mandatory, but it is strongly recommended to ensure optimal removal of smoke, odors, and cooking vapors.

Possible installation modes:

External ventilation: The ventilation pipe is connected to an external outlet, allowing for effective elimination of air laden with pollutants. This mode ensures better performance and improved air quality in the kitchen.
Air recycling (non-vented mode): If installing a duct to the outside is impossible, the hood can operate in recycling mode. In this case, the air is filtered through activated charcoal filters before being returned to the room.

Tips for recycling mode:

Use activated charcoal filters suitable for your model.
Regularly replace the filters to maintain filtration efficiency.
Note that this mode may be less effective in completely eliminating odors and humidity.

In summary, although connecting to the outside is preferable for better removal, the SIGNATURE SHD90FLIGNE hood can also operate in recycling mode if installation conditions require it.
