Full details
This NEUE Silver Chimney Hood is ideal for home cooks who need versatile and efficient kitchen ventilation. Its key benefit is the adjustable extraction speed to match various cooking tasks, from simmering to searing, ensuring cleaner air. A potential caveat is the need to choose between extraction or recirculation modes during setup. The hood features three speed settings, two washable filters for grease and odor capture, and operates quietly at 63db. It offers flexibility by supporting both extraction and recirculation configurations.

This hood comes with two washable grease filters. If you plan to use it in recirculation mode, you will also need to purchase separate carbon filters.

It is recommended to follow the detailed instructions provided in the product manual or consult a qualified installer.

Troubleshooting
Hood is not extracting air
Check that the hood is switched on and the correct speed is selected. Ensure the filters are clean and correctly installed. If in extraction mode, verify the ducting is clear and not blocked. If in recirculation mode, ensure carbon filters are installed correctly.
Reduced extraction performance
Clean or replace the grease filters. If using carbon filters for recirculation, check their condition and replace if necessary. Ensure no obstructions are present in the ducting or air vents.
Hood is making unusual noises
Ensure all screws are tightened and the hood is securely mounted. Check that the filters are properly seated. If the noise persists, it may indicate an issue with the motor; contact customer support.
Lights are not working
Check the bulb connection and replace the bulb if it is burnt out. Ensure the hood is receiving power.
