3.2 In exhaust air mode

The extracted air is emitted outdoors via
the exhaust pipe.
For this purpose your house must have
an exhaust air shaft or an exhaust air
pipeline leading outdoors.
When using the hood in exhaust air
mode
and ope rating with chimne y-de pe nde nt
firing methods, (e.g. coal oven) care must
be taken for an adequate supply of fresh
air in the installation location. Always
discuss this with your responsible chim-
ney-sweeping specialist.
If no pe rmane ntly installe d e xhaust air
pipeline or exhaust air shaft is available,
you must operate the hood in circulation
air mode. (see chapter 12.1)

3.3 In circulation air mode

The streaming air is filtered through a
carbon filter (also known as active car-
bon filter) and circulated in the room.
The carbon filter retains the odours pro-
duced through cooking.
The filtered air in the chimney is circu-
late d back into the kitche n through air
openings at the side or on the top.
If the hood is use d in circulation air
mode, it is absolutely safe to simultane -
ously operate a room air-dependent fire.

maining steam and odours.
1. For improved hood performance, pull
out the steam collector (where fitted).
2. Se t the fan spe e d according to the
amount of smoke and odours to be e xt-
racted.
3. Operate the hood for another ca. 5 to
10 minutes after finishing cooking.
4. Refit the steam collector (where fit-
ted).
