How often should I clean the aluminium grease filters?
It is recommended to clean the aluminium grease filters at least once a month, or more frequently if you cook often with a lot of grease. They are dishwasher safe.
What is the energy efficiency rating?
The cooker hood has an A+ energy efficiency rating.
What are the dimensions of the hood?
The hood measures 600 mm in width, 500 mm in depth, and has an adjustable height ranging from 700 mm to 1165 mm.

What type of lighting does the hood use?
The hood features two 38W LED bulbs, providing energy-efficient illumination over your cooking area.
Troubleshooting
Hood not extracting air effectively
Ensure the aluminium grease filters are clean and properly seated. If using recirculation mode, check if the carbon filters need replacement. Verify that the correct speed setting is selected and that no obstructions are blocking the vent or ducting.
Lights are not working
Check if the LED bulbs are securely screwed in. If they still do not work, they may need to be replaced. Ensure the hood is powered on.
Excessive noise during operation
Confirm that all filters and parts are correctly installed. Check for any loose components or obstructions in the fan blades. Higher speeds will naturally produce more noise.
Filter cleaning indicator is on
This indicates that the grease filters need to be cleaned. Remove and wash the aluminium filters as per the care instructions. The indicator typically needs to be reset manually after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine Installation Mode: Decide between ducted or recirculation installation. For ducted, ensure you have a suitable external vent and the necessary ducting hose (150mm diameter). For recirculation, you will need to purchase compatible carbon filters.
- Mounting: Securely mount the hood to the wall above your hob using the provided mounting kit. Ensure it is level and stable.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the hood to a suitable power source (220-240V, 50-60 Hz). If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
Compatibility:
- Hob Distance: Install the hood at a minimum distance of 65 cm from electric hobs and 65 cm from gas hobs.
- Outlet Diameter: The exhaust connection diameter is 15 cm (150 mm). A reduction to 120 mm is possible if needed.
Care:
- Grease Filters: The aluminium grease filters should be removed regularly (at least monthly, depending on usage) and washed. They are dishwasher-proof.
- Carbon Filters (Recirculation): If using in recirculation mode, carbon filters should be replaced every 3-6 months, depending on usage, as they cannot be washed.
- Exterior: Clean the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.
- Lighting: Wipe the LED bulbs carefully if they require cleaning.
