Additional Details and Usage

This hood uses aluminium anti–grease filters to help remove grease from the steam emanating from pans during cooking. All cooker hoods feature lights to illuminate the cooking area or add to the ambience of the kitchen, and this model includes LED lighting with high lighting efficiency.

For safe installation, the minimum distance from gas hobs is 650 mm and from electric hobs is 500 mm. The hood can operate either ducted out or in re–circulation mode using the appropriate ducting or charcoal filter.

Tube reduction and a non return valve are provided to support correct extraction configuration and help manage airflow through the 150 mm vent outlet.
