FAQs
Can this hood be used without an outside vent?
Yes, this hood supports a recirculating mode which cleans the air through charcoal filters instead of venting it outdoors.
What does the A+ energy rating mean for me?
It means the unit is highly efficient, reducing electricity consumption compared to lower-rated models without sacrificing extraction power.
How often should I clean the grease filters?
It is recommended to clean the grease filters every 2-4 weeks depending on the frequency of cooking to maintain optimal airflow.
Does it come with a light?
Yes, the unit includes integrated lighting to provide clear visibility over your cooking surface.
Can I adjust the fan speed manually?
Yes, while Hob2Hood automates the process, you retain full manual control over the extraction speeds via the control panel.
Troubleshooting
Hood fails to turn on
Check that the unit is properly connected to the power supply and ensure your home circuit breaker has not tripped.
Hob2Hood is not responding
Verify that your AEG hob is compatible with Hob2Hood and that the signal function is enabled on both the hob and the cooker hood control panel.
Weak extraction performance
Check if the grease filters are saturated and need cleaning, or if the recirculation carbon filters are blocked and require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard electrical connection and, depending on your choice of extraction, either an exterior wall vent or the installation of carbon filters for recirculation. To ensure longevity, the grease filters should be cleaned regularly in a dishwasher or by hand with warm soapy water. If using the recirculating method, carbon filters must be replaced at intervals suggested in the user manual to maintain odor-neutralization performance. Always check that the chimney height matches your ceiling specifications prior to final mounting.
