Air recirculation requirements

For air recirculation an external air recirculation module is required. A patented air recirculation module with activated charcoal filter can be installed in the upper cabinet. The activated carbon filter can be changed from the front by simply pulling out the filter drawer, and the door of the upper cabinet must be fully open in order to change the activated charcoal filter.

Cooking appliance positioning

Vario cooktops with intensive production of vapours like VR/VP/VF should be placed in the middle beneath the cooker hood. In this case air recirculation is not recommended.

Safety and clearances

Clearance above gas appliances must be a minimum of 65 cm, and where the total gas load is more than 12 kW, a minimum of 70 cm is required. Clearance above electric appliances must be a minimum of 50 cm.

When installing a ventilation hood with air extraction mode and a chimney-vented fireplace, the hood’s power supply line needs to feature a suitable safety switch.

Operation and maintenance

• Grease filter saturation indicator signals when the metal grease filter needs cleaning.
• Metal grease filter is dishwasher-safe for easy care.
• Glass filter cover provides a smooth surface that is easy to clean.
• Dimmable LED lighting allows adjustment of neutral white light over the cooktop.
