FeaturesPolyurethane filterBenefits of polyurethane foamUnique aluminium grease filters are enhanced with a special polyurethane foam that eliminates up to 98% of all grease particles and other impurities. At the same time, the hood maintains its absorption efficiency. TouchFree coatingShiny and fingerprint-free finishAll stainless steel surfaces are coated with a special TouchFree film that prevents fingerprint markings, leaving the surface always shiny and making cleaning much easier. LedLightSee what you're cookingLED lighting provides excellent and highly efficient illumination of the cooking hob and represents an important aesthetic and functional element in the kitchen. Its useful life is thirty times as long as that of conventional light bulbs, and it saves up to ten times as much power.Re-circulating hoodsRe-circulating hoods draw in steam and odour saturated air through a filter, then returning the treated air into the kitchen. If ducting for extraction is not possible, then recirculation may be another option. In this case, the air is drawn through a charcoal filter that removes cooking odours and steam, and the clean air is recirculated back into the kitchen. Cooker hoods for recirculation are easy to install and are normally used in blocks of flats where installing ducts leading directly to the outside of the building can be difficult. Extraction hoods draw in cooking fumes and trap vapours in a filter while expelling odours to the outside through a ventilation duct. You can expect to have to change the charcoal filter once or twice a year, depending on how often the cooker hood is used. Noise levelMore power with less noiseIn today’s homes, the kitchen is a new focal point, which in turn has focused attention on noise levels produced by cooker hoods. Over the last few years, the capacity of hoods has increased significantly, and sound-absorbing materials are increasingly being used in many of Gorenje cooker hoods. Useful tips• Remember to switch the cooker hood on before starting to cook, as this maximises the hood’s capacity. • Leave the cooker hood running for another 15 minutes once you have finished cooking to remove the last few traces of cooking odours. • Remember never to open the kitchen window when using a cooker hood, as this affects air circulation and cancels out the low pressure. • Choose a cooker hood that is at least as wide as your hob to achieve the best effect. What capacity do you need?What sort of capacity should a new cooker hood have? This depends largely on the size of the kitchen. A good rule of thumb is that the hood should be able to replace the air 10 to 20 times per hour. For instance, if a kitchen measures 4 x 4 m with a ceiling height of 2.5 m, the cooker hood should replace approximately 400-800/m3 of air per hour. Thus, the necessary extraction capacity is determined by the volume of your kitchen. Calculation of the hood capacity that you need is: 10 x volume of your kitchen (volume = width x height x depth). There will always be some loss of pressure when installing a hood. That is why it is important to observe the following rules: • Always observe the hood’s recommended venting diameter (O) specified on the venting tube or pipe. • Where possible, use smooth pipes to minimise air resistance. • Try to make the installation as short as possible and with as few bends in the pipes as possible. • You want gentle curves in the pipe rather than sharp bends, so that the air can pass through unhindered, minimising pressure loss.Technical detailsFreestanding wall cooker hoodVenting with air extraction or recirculationEnergy class: CMaterial of housing/chimney: stainless steel / stainless steelColour of housing/chimney: stainless steel / stainless steelLightning efficiency class: AGrease filtering efficiency class: AFluid dynamic efficiency class: BMaximum extraction rate by extraction operation: 505 m³/hMaximum extraction rate by recirculation operation: 380 m³/hVenting tube diameter: 15 cmAir flow by extraction version, step 1: 230 m³/hAir flow by extraction version, step 2: 372 m³/hAir flow by extraction version, step 3: 505 m³/hMechanic controlControl setting: Button controlNumber of speed positions: 3TouchFree InoxLamp type: LEDOn/off light switchNumber of lights: 2Power of lights: 6 WFilter material: Washable aluminium with polyurethane foamCoal filter code (optional as separate purchase): 315275Motor type: Capacitor motorNumber of motors: 1No return airflow flap: 150 mmMax. noise level: 62 dB(A)re 1 pWHeight: 250 mmMin. height of the chimney: 545 mmMax. height of the chimney: 875 mmAnnual energy consumption : 62.2 kWhDimensions (W×H×D): 60 × 25 × 50 cmDimensions of packed product (W×H×D): 64.5 × 63.7 × 36.5 cmNet weight: 8.6 kgGross weight: 11.2 kgConnection rating: 141 WNominal current of fuse: 10 ampProduct code: 514495EAN code: 3838942072352
