FAQs
Does this hood come with charcoal filters?
This model is primarily designed for extraction (ducting out) and includes aluminium grease filters. Please check your specific installation kit if you intended to use it in recirculation mode.
How often should I clean the grease filters?
We recommend cleaning the filters every 2 months of normal operation, or more frequently if you engage in high-intensity frying.
Can I install this hood myself?
While it is possible, we recommend professional installation to ensure correct ducting alignment and electrical safety.
What is the intensive mode used for?
Intensive mode is designed for short-term use when cooking produces significant steam or strong odours, providing maximum extraction power.
Does the hood include a power cable?
The unit typically includes a standard power lead, but ensure your kitchen's power point is located near the mounting position.
Troubleshooting
Hood is not extracting air effectively
Check that the aluminium grease filters are clean and not blocked, and verify that the external ducting is not obstructed.
Lights are not turning on
Ensure the power supply to the unit is active and check that the LED connection is secure.
Excessive noise during operation
Check that the unit is securely mounted to the wall and that the ducting pipe is correctly attached without tight kinks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires mounting to a wall directly above your cooking surface. For peak performance, ensure the hood is ducted out to an external vent, utilizing the included non-return valve to prevent outside air from entering the kitchen. Compatibility is best suited for 60 cm wide hobs. Care is straightforward: the aluminium anti-grease filters should be removed regularly and washed in warm, soapy water or placed in the dishwasher to prevent grease buildup. Wipe the matte black exterior with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to maintain its finish and avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the coating.
