FAQs

How often should I clean the metal grease filters?

It is recommended to clean the metal grease filters approximately once a month, or more frequently if you do a lot of high-fat cooking. They can be cleaned by hand or in the dishwasher.

The maximum extraction rate according to EN 61591 is 732 m³/h on the intensive setting.

Is the hood suitable for all kitchen sizes?

What is the energy efficiency class?

The energy efficiency class of this hood is B, on a scale ranging from A+++ to D.

Troubleshooting

Hood not turning on

Check the main power supply and ensure the circuit breaker is engaged. Verify that the power cord is securely plugged in.

Low extraction power

Ensure the metal grease filters are clean and not clogged. Check if the ducting (if used) is blocked or kinked. Make sure the correct speed setting is selected.

Excessive noise during operation

Confirm that all filters are correctly installed and secured. Ensure no parts of the hood or installation are loose. Check for obstructions in the ducting. The intensive setting is naturally louder.

Lights are not working

Check the power supply to the hood. If the LEDs have failed, they may need replacement (consult user manual).

Odors persist after cooking

Clean the grease filters. Ensure the extraction rate is set appropriately for the cooking intensity. If using recirculation, ensure the charcoal filters (if applicable with the recirculating kit) are replaced as per manufacturer's recommendations.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent extraction power handles strong cooking odors effectively.
  • Intuitive TouchSelect controls are simple to use.
  • Operates relatively quietly, even at higher settings.
  • High grease filtration efficiency helps maintain cleaner air.
  • Stylish island design complements modern kitchen aesthetics.
  • Easy-to-clean metal grease filters are dishwasher safe.

Cons

  • Recirculating operation requires purchasing an additional kit (CleanAir or standard).
  • The intensive setting can be noticeably louder than the normal settings.
  • Energy consumption, while rated B, could be lower for some users.
  • Requires specific ceiling-mounted installation suitable for island configurations.
  • The LED lights have a fixed color temperature (3500K) which may not suit all preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is an island chimney hood designed for ceiling-mounted installation above a hob. Ensure adequate ceiling support and clearance. The unit can be configured for either ducted extraction (venting air outside) or recirculating operation (filtering and returning air to the kitchen). For ducted installation, a 150 mm diameter pipe is required (a 120 mm adapter is included). For recirculating setups, a separate recirculating kit or CleanAir recirculating kit (accessory) is necessary.

Compatibility:

  • Hob Type: Suitable for all standard hob types.
  • Installation: Requires ceiling mounting, ideal for kitchens where the hob is not against a wall.
  • Recirculation: If external venting isn't possible, ensure you purchase the correct recirculating kit (sold separately).

Care:

  • Metal Grease Filters: These are located behind the main fascia and are removable. Clean them approximately once a month, either by hand washing with a degreasing agent or placing them in a dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
  • Housing: Wipe the brushed steel and glass surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surfaces.
  • Lighting: The 4 x 1.5W LED bulbs are designed for longevity but can be replaced if necessary (refer to the user manual for specific instructions).
