5.4. EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION MODE
What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes?
To get optimum performance form your cooker, the air will be taken out of the room
via external ducting.
Unfortunately if you live in a flat or the hood is too far from an outside wall, this may
not be possible. The only alternative is to recirculate the air.
In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and passed through a
charcoal filter for purification. The air then re-enters the kitchen via an opening in the
hood.
What is a charcoal filter and do I need one?
All cooker hoods have a grease filter but if you are using your cooker hood in
recirculation mode, then a charcoal filter must be fitted in addition to the grease filter.
