3. Ducted vs. Ductless Configuration

Your range hood supports both ventilation methods:

• Ducted (Vented): Air is extracted through ductwork and expelled outside your home. This method offers the most effective removal of smoke, odors, and moisture.
• Senza condotto (a ricircolo): Air is filtered through optional charcoal filters (not included) to remove odors and then recirculated back into the kitchen. This is suitable when external venting is not feasible.

Figure 4: Ducted and Ductless Air Circulation

This visual explains the two ventilation options: ducted, where air is expelled, and ductless, where air is filtered by activated carbon and recirculated. Both methods ensure clean air in the kitchen.

Istruzioni per l'uso

Your VIKIO HOME Island Range Hood features advanced controls for efficient and convenient operation.

Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare garantisce la longevità e le prestazioni ottimali della cappa.

Figure 10: Grease Separation Mechanism

This diagram illustrates how the arc-flow filter plate effectively blocks grease from reaching the impeller and motor, ensuring lasting suction and powered protection with 30% precision separation.

2. Pulizia esterna

Clean the exterior of the hood with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the stainless steel finish.

3. Charcoal Filter Replacement (Ductless Mode Only)

If operating in ductless mode, the charcoal filters (not included) should be replaced every 3-6 months, depending on cooking frequency, to maintain odor absorption effectiveness.
