passed through the charcoal filters to be purified and
recirculated into the kitchen through the recirculation
grilles in either side of the chimney stack.

In the extraction mode the contaminated air enters
the cooker hood passing through the grease filters
and is passed out through the ducting into the
atmosphere.
To obtain the best performance when cooking it is
advisable to switch the cooker hood on for a few
minutes before you start cooking and leave it
running for about 15 minutes after finishing.
When used in the ducting mode the charcoal
filters are not required.

use as overheated fats and oils can catch
fire.
