Air extraction/recirculation

 Most Gaggenau cooker

hoods can be used both for air extraction and recir-

culation. In the extraction function, cooking fumes

are conducted outside either directly or via a ventila-

tion duct. In the recirculation function, kitchen

steam is cleaned by a built-in active charcoal filter.

In both cases the air, which is saturated with grease

and odour particles, first passes through a grease

filter. This prevents the inside of the hood and the

exhaust air ducts from becoming coated with de-

posits. In the circulating air version, in which no air

is conducted outside, the odour particles are ab-

sorbed by an additional, active charcoal, filter. This

needs replacing about twice a year – a simple opera-

tion with all Gaggenau ventilation appliances.

Coanda effect

 An additional fan on the front of the

extractor hood generates a stream of air that is

directed towards the rear over a cylinder. This effect,

known from aerodynamics, causes any cooking

fumes in front of the hood to be more effectively

conducted into the filter area. The Gaggenau AH 600

extractor hood, for example, is as effective at setting

3 as many other appliances at “intensive” setting.

Extendible swivel arm

 In the grill position, the direct

ventilation system VL 051 automatically moves to a

height of 6 cm, and in the cooking position to a maxi-

mum height of 40 cm. At its highest setting, the

extendible arm can also be turned through 90

°

 in

both directions. The arm can be moved to any height

between these two positions using the control knob.

Once the appliance is switched off it automatically

returns to the central position and retracts into the

hob. A sensor prevents objects from being caught in

the arm when it is returning to this position.
