and directed outside.

Non-return flap

A non-return flap in the ducting
events the exchange of inside and
pr outside air from occurring when the ventilation hood is not in use. The flap is closed when the ventilation hood is turned off. When the ventilation hood is turned on, the non-return flap opens so that the exhaust air can be transported outside without any obstruction.

Recirculation mode

(Only DA 6596 D requires a
culation kit and OdorFree Charcoal
Recir Filter (available as optional accessories); see "Technical data" for more information.)

Installation recommendations

– We also recommend a distance of at
least 25 1/2" (650 mm) above electric coo
ktops to provide more workspace
and easier cooking under the hood.
– When selecting an installation height,
always tak consideration. Users should have ample space to work comfortably on the cooktop and reach the ventilation hood controls with ease.
– Please note that the greater the
distance effective the hood is at drawing in the cooking vapors.
– To achieve optimal vapor extraction,
mak cooktop. The hood should be positioned centrally over the cooktop, not to the side or rear.
– The cooktop should be no wider than
the ho narrower.
– The mounting area must be easily
accessible. The ventilation hood sho
uld be easy to reach and disassemble in case a service call is necessary. This should be taken into consideration when planning the position of cupboards, shelves, ceilings or decorative elements in the vicinity of the ventilation hood.
