28 Powerful technology for your kitchen The operating modes of Miele Range Hoods During cooking, and in particular when frying, vapours are given off which consist of a mixture of steam, particles of fat and odours. If air in the room is not extracted or filtered, these vapours will remain in the room and affect the kitchen environment. Over time, fat and vapours will settle on the kitchen furniture, soft furnishings, paintwork, etc. There are two options for effectively cleaning the air: extraction or recirculation mode. Both these methods have advantages and disadvantages, however, over a gas cook- top where lots of heat is created an extraction mode rangehood should be installed. Extraction mode rangehoods – highly efficient Extraction mode rangehoods draw the cooking vapours in and remove grease particles with the help of the grease filter. The filtered air is then transported out of the kitchen via ducting. Along with the filtered air, any excess moisture and odours are removed from the kitchen. In order to channel the extracted air outside, extraction mode range- hoods need ducting and a wall or roof vent. At the same time a flow of fresh air must be provided, for example by an open window. Extraction mode rangehoods are parti- cularly recommended above gas cooktops as well as for frequent deep-fat frying, grilling or use of the wok. This type of cooking generates a lot of heat, grease and steam, which these rangehoods remove very efficiently. Ensuring good air flow also provides with an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion.
