The Auto Switch Off function turns off the extraction and lights automatically after a predefined time.

Can I use the lights independently of the fan?

Yes, the LED lights can be used independently of the fan for ambient lighting.

What is the 24h air exchange function?

The 24h air exchange function operates the hood for 10 minutes every hour at low speed to purify the air.

Troubleshooting

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