Recirculation module TEKA RFH12120FOC for hood — stainless steel and PVC ducting kit

Recirculation module TEKA RFH12120FOC for hood — stainless steel and PVC ducting kit is a ventilation accessory designed to convert compatible TEKA hoods to recirculation mode when external ducting is impractical. The kit includes a combination of stainless steel and PVC components engineered to guide extracted cooking air through filters and return cleaned air back into the kitchen, enabling installation without a connection to outside vents. It is suitable for retrofit projects and installations in apartments or buildings with restrictions on external exhaust systems.

Advantages

The recirculation module provides a compact solution for kitchens where external venting is not possible, reducing the need for complex structural changes. Stainless steel parts ensure durability and resistance to heat and grease, while PVC components offer flexible routing and easier fitting in confined spaces. The design is compatible with specific TEKA hood models and supports effective redirection of airflow through standard filtration, helping maintain indoor air quality without requiring an exterior outlet.

Suitable for

• Retrofitting compatible TEKA hoods to recirculation mode
• Apartment kitchens or rental properties without external duct access
• Small kitchens where compact duct routing is required
• Temporary installations or situations where exterior modification is restricted

Key specifications

• Material composition: stainless steel components combined with PVC ducting
• Function: enables recirculation installation by routing and channeling extracted air
• Compatibility: designed for use with specific TEKA hoods including models similar to AFF 87601 MST BK
• Installation type: indoor recirculation kit — no external vent required
• Typical airflow path: hood outlet → ducting → filter area → return air outlet into kitchen

How to use

Install the recirculation module by following the hood manufacturer’s installation instructions and the kit’s assembly guidelines. Position and secure the stainless steel ducting and PVC sections to the hood outlet, ensuring airtight connections and correct alignment with the hood’s exhaust port. Fit the appropriate filters in the filter area as specified for recirculation operation, then route the cleaned air outlet back into the kitchen space. After installation, test the hood in recirculation mode to confirm proper airflow and don’t forget to check for any vibrations or leaks at connection points.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable grease and charcoal filters recommended by the hood manufacturer and replace them regularly to maintain filtration efficiency. Periodically inspect both stainless steel and PVC parts for signs of wear, loose connections, or grease buildup, and clean according to maintenance instructions to ensure consistent performance in recirculation mode.
