Troubleshooting

Extractor hood is not turning on.

Check the power supply and ensure the unit is correctly plugged in. Also, check the fuse.

Extractor hood is not extracting effectively.

Check and clean the grease filters. Ensure the ducting is not blocked (if applicable). Check and replace charcoal filter if using a recirculating system.

Lights are not working.

Check the bulb and replace if necessary. Consult the manual to find the correct bulb type.
