FAQs
What is the difference between ducted and recirculating installation?
Ducted installation vents cooking odours and steam directly outside your home via ducting. Recirculating installation filters the air through grease and carbon filters and releases it back into the kitchen. The ducted option is generally more effective at removing odours.
How often should I clean the grease filters?
It is recommended to clean the grease filters at least once a month, or more frequently if you cook oily foods regularly. Washable filters can typically be cleaned in warm, soapy water or a dishwasher.
How often do carbon filters need to be replaced?
If you are using the recirculating mode, carbon filters typically need to be replaced every 3 to 6 months, depending on how often you cook and the intensity of your cooking. They become saturated and lose their effectiveness over time.
What is the energy efficiency class of this hood?
This Rangemaster cooker hood has an energy efficiency class of 'B'.
What is the maximum extraction rate?
The maximum extraction rate is 480 cubic meters per hour (m³/h) on boost mode.
Can I use this hood with any type of hob?
This 100cm wide hood is best suited for hobs up to 100cm in width. Ensure the hood is installed centrally above the hob for optimal performance.
What is the noise level of the hood?
The noise level ranges from 50 dB on the low speed setting to 67 dB on the high speed setting.
Troubleshooting
Hood not turning on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the circuit breaker for the kitchen hasn't tripped.
Reduced extraction power
Clean or replace the grease filters. If using recirculating mode, check and replace the carbon filters. Ensure there are no blockages in the ducting (if ducted).
Excessive noise
Ensure the hood is securely mounted. Check if the filters are clean and properly seated. Very high noise levels might indicate a blockage or a fan issue – consult the manual or a technician.
LED lights not working
Ensure the hood is powered on. If the lights still don't work, the LED bulbs may need replacing. Refer to the product manual for instructions on how to safely replace the bulbs.
Condensation build-up
Ensure you are using an appropriate speed setting for the amount of steam. For very steamy cooking, use a higher speed or the boost mode. Make sure vents are not obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
This is a wall-mounted cooker hood designed for installation above your hob. Ensure it is mounted at the manufacturer's recommended height to guarantee optimal performance. For ducted installation, a vent pipe will need to be connected to an external wall or through the roof. For recirculating installation, ensure the carbon filters are correctly fitted.
Compatibility
- Hob Size: The 1000mm width is suitable for wider hobs. Ensure the hood is at least as wide as your hob.
- Power: Requires a standard 220-240V AC power supply with a connected load of 130W.
- Ducting: Compatible with standard exhaust ducting systems (minimum 15 cm diameter).
Care and Maintenance
- Grease Filters: The aluminium/charcoal filters should be cleaned regularly. They are washable, which can typically be done by hand with warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher (check manufacturer instructions for specific guidance).
- Carbon Filters: If using the recirculating mode, carbon filters will need to be replaced periodically (usually every 3-6 months, depending on usage) as they cannot be washed.
- Exterior: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
- LED Bulbs: The LED bulbs are designed for longevity but can be replaced if necessary. Refer to the product manual for specific replacement instructions.
