4.2.2  Installation variations
Depending on what you opted for when purchasing, the 
cooktop extractor can be operated as an exhaust air or an 
recirculating air version. 
Exhaust mode
The air suctioned away is purified by the grease filter and 
expelled into the open air via a duct system.
The exhaust air must not be expelled into: 
a smoke or exhaust gas flue that is in operation
a shaft used for the aeration of rooms where fireplaces 
are installed.
If the exhaust air is to be directed into a smoke or 
exhaust gas flue that is not in use, the installation must 
be checked and approved by the responsible heating 
engineer.
INFO  If the cooktop extractor is used in an exhaust 
air system, the extractor power is automatically 
increased for the first 20 seconds when set on a 
lower power level (wall sleeve function). 
Recirculation mode
The air suctioned away is purified by the grease filter and 
an activated carbon filter and fed back into the room in 
which the appliance is installed.
To prevent odours in recirculation mode, an odour filter 
must be used. For hygiene and health reasons, this must 
be replaced at the recommended intervals (see the 
Cleaning and maintenance chapter).
INFO  In recirculation mode, ensure sufficient ventilation 
and aeration to expel humidity.
