Miele DA 399-5, DA 398-5 Functional description, Air extraction Recirculation mode

Functional description

The hood offers two modes of operation:

Air extraction Recirculation mode

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside.

The hood comes equipped with a non-return flap. This flap automatically closes when the hood is turned off so that no exchange of outside air and room air can occur. When the hood is turned on, the air pressure of the exhaust fan automatically opens the flap blowing the inside air and cooking odors outside.

Air is drawn through the grease filters and an active charcoal filter. The filtered air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through a vent at the top of the hood’s chimney.

The recirculation mode requires an install kit and charcoal filter which are optional accessories.

Before using the hood in recirculation mode, ensure that the active charcoal filter is in place, see "Cleaning and care".
