PERFORMANCEHighly-efficient air extraction of up to 590 cubic metres an hour true (net) ensures the very swift removal of cooking vapours, odours and heat. The higher speed selections are perfect for the more vigorous styles of cooking such as stir frying, griddle cooking and boiling, the lower speeds at the touch of a button are perfect for simmers.QUIETNESS29 to 50 dBA. The motor/impellor encasements are smooth-walled to minimise air drag and, hence, noise. All metal joins are welded to reduce vibration.SAFETYThermal overload protection on motor, fire retardant hardened metal and mesh, VO self-extinguishing plastic for motor housing and internal flue.MAINTENANCENo tools required — easy lift-out pair of grease filters for washing. For light replacement, simply rotate the decorative flange for access to halogen globes.DUCTINGDirect ducting to atmosphere ensures the maximum removal of grease/oil/particle-laden vapour plus the odours and, very importantly, the heat, resulting in a cleaner, cooler, more comfortable work area.RECIRCULATIONWhen the cooking vapours cannot be ducted to atmosphere, the filtered air can simply be redirected back into the kitchen via a duct pipe through the overhead cabinetry.CHARCOAL FILTERSThis is a purchasable accessory. It is inserted just below the centrifugal motor and is designed to absorb and diminish cooking odours. Periodic inspection is recommended before replacement. The activated charcoal filter is optionally used for recirculation only. Charcoal filters are not to be washed. The are replaceable.DUCTING MATERIALSmooth internal walled duct pipe lengths ensure the most efficient air movement and quieter operation. Consider either high temperature rated PVC or galvanised sheet metal piping. The flexible ducting cab be ideal for a very short, tight run.The rangehoods air exit aperture is designed for 150mm (6”) ducting; however, a 125mm diameter (5”) adaptor can be purchased for optional use.
