The perfect micro-climate
Miele rangehood operating modes
Recirculation mode: simple and
efficient
Recirculation mode rangehoods draw the
cooking vapours in and pass them
through different layers of filtration to
remove grease and odour particles. The
cleaned air is then redirected back into the
kitchen. This air circulation takes place in
a closed room and there is no need for
ducting systems, or for holes to be drilled
in walls or ceilings.
Recirculation mode rangehoods are very
easy to install and are very often the only
option available because of building
constraints, e.g. in a block of flats.
A recirculation mode rangehood is
suitable for installation above a HiLight or
induction cooktop.
Extraction mode: highly efficient
Extraction mode rangehoods extract
cooking vapours and filter the air through
a grease filter to remove any grease
particles. The filtered air is then
transported out of the kitchen via
extraction ducting together with any
excess moisture and odours. To do this
extraction mode rangehoods need
ducting through the outside wall or roof
and a supply of fresh air, e.g. through an
open window.
Extraction mode rangehoods are
recommended above gas cooktops,
particularly when frying and using a wok.
This type of cooking generates a lot of
heat, fat and steam which these
rangehoods removes most efficiently. For
gas cooktops, they also ensure an
adequate supply of oxygen as the
combustion of gas requires an ample
supply of oxygen.
