Product Information

Full details

The Cata UBSTH60SS is a 60 cm silver telescopic cooker hood designed for integrated kitchens seeking effective, space-saving ventilation. Its primary benefit is its ability to extend for increased extraction when cooking and retract to a minimal profile when not in use, all while offering a sleek stainless steel finish. A key consideration is that carbon filters for recirculation mode are sold separately. This hood offers a practical solution with dual extraction modes, three-speed fan control, bright LED lighting, and easy-to-use slider controls, making it a valuable addition to many kitchen setups.

FAQs

What is the difference between ducted and recirculation modes?

Ducted mode vents cooking fumes and steam outside your home via ducting. Recirculation mode filters the air through grease and carbon filters to remove odors and moisture before releasing it back into the kitchen. Ducted is generally more effective for removing grease and steam.

Do I need carbon filters for this hood?

You only need carbon filters if you intend to use the hood in recirculation mode. If you are venting externally (ducted mode), carbon filters are not required. Carbon filters are sold separately.

How often should I clean the grease filters?

It is recommended to clean the washable aluminium grease filters at least once a month, or more frequently if you do a lot of high-heat or greasy cooking, to maintain optimal performance.

What are the dimensions of the hood?

The hood has a width of 600 mm. Its height is approximately 175 mm, and the depth can extend from 280 mm to 430 mm when fully extended.

What is the warranty period?

The Cata UBSTH60SS comes with a 2-year warranty covering both parts and labour within the UK.

Is installation included?

Installation is not typically included with the product. It is recommended to have the hood installed by a qualified professional.

What is the maximum extraction rate?

The maximum extraction rate when ducted is approximately 320 cubic meters per hour (m³/h).

Troubleshooting

Hood not turning on

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the circuit breaker or fuse for the kitchen is not tripped or blown.

Reduced extraction power

Remove and clean the aluminium grease filters. If using recirculation, check and replace the carbon filters if they are old or saturated. Ensure no obstructions are in the ducting (if applicable).

Light not working

Ensure the hood is powered on. If the LED lamp has failed, contact customer support for assistance or a replacement, as LEDs are not typically user-replaceable.

Excessive noise during operation

Verify that the hood is securely mounted to the cabinet. Ensure the grease filters are clean and correctly seated. Check for any loose parts or obstructions.

Odor still present after use

For ducted installation, ensure the ducting is clear and properly sealed. For recirculation, ensure carbon filters are installed and are not overdue for replacement. Increase fan speed or extraction time for particularly strong odors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving telescopic design
  • Sleek and durable stainless steel finish
  • Flexible ducted or recirculation operation
  • Easy-to-use manual slider controls
  • Washable and maintainable grease filters
  • Integrated LED lighting for better visibility

Cons

  • Carbon filters for recirculation mode are sold separately
  • Maximum extraction rate of 320 m³/h may be insufficient for very high-output hobs
  • Noise level of 63 dB(A) can be noticeable during operation
  • Energy rating of C (2021 scale) is not the most efficient available

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This hood is designed for built-in or integrated installation under a cabinet. Ensure you have a suitable cabinet with adequate space for the hood's dimensions (175mm H x 600mm W x 280-430mm D). If ducted installation is chosen, a 120mm diameter ducting outlet is required. For recirculation, ensure the appropriate carbon filters are purchased and installed. Electrical connection should be performed by a qualified electrician.

Compatibility:

  • Width: Compatible with standard 60 cm cooktops and hobs.
  • Installation: Suitable for under-cabinet mounting.
  • Extraction: Can be configured for either ducted extraction (venting outdoors) or recirculation (using carbon filters, sold separately).

Care:

  • Grease Filters: The aluminium mesh filters should be removed regularly (e.g., monthly, depending on usage) and washed. They can be cleaned by hand with warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher on a gentle cycle.
  • Exterior: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth to prevent water spots.
  • Interior: Clean the internal surfaces periodically with a damp cloth.
  • Lighting: LED lamps are designed for longevity and typically do not require user replacement. If a lamp fails, consult the user manual or a qualified technician.
