Operating modes

Air extraction mode

• The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system.

• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).
  • If the exhaust air is to be conveyed into a non-functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, you must obtain the consent of the heating engineer responsible.
  • If the exhaust air is conveyed through the external wall, a telescopic duct should be used.

Air recirculation mode

• The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and an odour filter, and conveyed back into the room.
