Product information

2.1 

Functional principle

Centrifugal force

y

 Cooking vapours are drawn through a gap and into the 
hood where they are accelerated and routed through 
bends. 

y

 The resultant centrifugal force ejects particles of dirt 
(e.g. particles or grease and oil) out of the air. 

y

The dirt particles are separated out and collected on the 
upper and lower section as well as a catchment screen 
(“Capillar Trap”).

BackFlow technology (optional)

y

Condensate or droplet formation (e. g. if steam touches 
cold surfaces) is prevented by a vent installed from the 
back to the front. 

y

Part of the vented air quantity is fed to the back of the 
hood, blown over the hood underside and directed into 
the suction gap.

2.2 

Operating modes

The device is suitable for the following operating modes:

y

Recirculated air mode

y

Extracted air mode

y

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.
