Ductless systems will recirculate the air back into the kitchen instead of the outside, which is why they’re sometimes referred to as recirculating range hood. In a ductless system, a powerful motorized fan sits above the stovetop. When the switch is flipped, the fan sucks the air up through a vent and filter.
Does a kitchen extractor fan need to be on an outside wall?
If you’ve read our other extractor hood articles (Fitting a Cooker Hood, for example), you may be wondering whether all extractor fans for the kitchen need to vent outside. The short answer is no. However, it greatly depends on the extractor fan you buy and which one is best for your kitchen.
How do I know if my kitchen extractor fan is working?
A suction test can be done by checking that the air outlet at the top of the cooker hood is working properly. An easy way to do this is to get a banknote or light piece of paper, and hold it up to the grease filter grill (the part with holes on it). This is found on the underside of the cooker hood.
