2.4 - Choice of operating mode

a - Evacuation mode

To check that the hood is set up for evacuation, open the grille panel and make sure that the conver-
sion lever or the change-over knob on the centrifugal unit is in the DUCTING position. The charcoal
filter is not required.
For ducting to the outside, the hood is supplied with a rear and top outlet. A flange spigot of 100 mm
diameter (120 mm in certain models) is usually fitted on the top outlet and a blanking plug on the rear
outlet. If you choose to duct the hood from the rear of the casing, you should invert the position of
the flange and of the blanking plug. Pay attention to the safety regu-lation 1.1.

b - Internal recirculation mode

To check that the hood is set up for recycling, open the grille panel and make sure that the conversion
lever or the change-over knob on the centrifugal unit is in the RECYCLING position.
The charcoal filter is to be fitted. To fit the charcoal filter, support the filter with one hand and turn
the thumb screw through the centre of the charcoal filter. If the filter is of the interlocking type, turn
the filter clockwise. The hood can remain connected to the outside.
