Four speed levels on the DCT-9630 SA, and when to use each

Most hoods stop at three speeds. The DCT-9630 SA gives you four, which helps match the fan to what is on the stove instead of running it flat out all the time:

• Level 1: boiling rice, making chai, warming leftovers.
• Level 2: everyday salan and daal on a medium flame.
• Level 3: bhunai, when onions and masala start to smoke.
• Level 4: deep frying, tarka and a karahi on a high flame.

Lower speeds are quieter and draw less power, so stepping up only when the smoke needs it keeps the kitchen calmer during long cooking sessions.

Filters and oil collector on the DCT-9630 SA

The hood uses stainless steel/mesh filters that are designed to be easy to clean. Pull them out, soak them in hot water with dishwashing liquid, scrub lightly and refit once dry. The oil collector catches grease that runs off, and should be emptied at the same time. In a kitchen that fries most days, a wash every couple of weeks keeps suction close to the 900 m³/h rating.

Is the 90 cm DCT-9630 SA the right size?

A hood works best when it is at least as wide as the cooking surface. The 90 cm width of the DCT-9630 SA covers a 90 cm hob or a regular four-burner stove, catching the smoke that rises from the outer burners. The T-shape keeps a flat, clean line under the chimney, and the LED lamps give better illumination over the pots than older bulb lights.
