FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of this cooker hood?
The dimensions are 598mm (W) x 448mm (D) x 569mm (H). The chimney height is adjustable during installation.
Can I use this cooker hood if I don't have an external vent?
Yes, this cooker hood supports recirculating mode, which filters the air and returns it to your kitchen. However, you will need to purchase and install carbon filters separately for effective odor removal in this mode.
How often should I clean the aluminum grease filters?
For optimal performance, the aluminum grease filters should be cleaned regularly, typically every 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your cooking frequency and habits. They can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher.
What type of lighting does the hood use?
It features integrated LED lights, which provide bright and energy-efficient illumination over your cooking area.
How many speed settings does this cooker hood have?
The cooker hood offers three different speed settings, allowing you to adjust the extraction power according to your cooking needs.
Where can I purchase the carbon filters for recirculating mode?
Info needed: [Please check the product manual or contact Living and Home customer service for information on compatible carbon filters and authorized retailers.]
Is professional installation required?
While technically possible for a skilled DIYer, professional installation is highly recommended to ensure correct mounting, electrical connection, and proper functioning of the exhaust system (especially for ducted setups) to comply with safety standards.
Troubleshooting
Hood not effectively removing smoke/odors.
- Ensure the hood is set to an appropriate speed setting for the cooking intensity. 2. Clean the 5-layer aluminum filters; clogged filters reduce suction efficiency. 3. If using recirculating mode, check if the carbon filters are installed correctly and are not saturated (replace if needed). 4. Verify that there are no obstructions in the ducting (for ducted installations).
LED lights are not working.
- Check the main power supply to the cooker hood. 2. Ensure the light button on the control panel is pressed. 3. If individual LEDs are out, they may require professional replacement.
Control panel buttons are unresponsive.
- Check if the cooker hood is receiving power. 2. Try turning off the power at the main switch for a few minutes and then turning it back on (a 'soft reset'). 3. Ensure buttons are pressed firmly; the panel is designed for a high number of presses, but wear can occur over time. If issues persist, contact customer support.
Excessive noise during operation.
- Ensure the hood is securely mounted and all screws are tightened. Loose parts can vibrate. 2. Check for any foreign objects or debris caught in the fan or ducting. 3. If the noise is new, it could indicate an issue with the motor or fan; contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Dimensions: The cooker hood measures 598W x 448D x 569H mm. It's designed to fit above a 60 cm hob.
Installation: The chimney height is adjustable, allowing for flexibility during installation to suit various kitchen layouts and ceiling heights. You will need to decide between ducted or recirculating setup during installation:
- Ducted (External Venting): Connects to an external duct system to vent cooking fumes outside your home. This method offers the most effective air extraction.
- Recirculating (Internal Filtering): If external venting isn't possible, the hood can filter the air and release it back into the kitchen. Crucially, this mode requires the purchase and installation of carbon filters (sold separately) to effectively remove odors from the air.
Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper function and safety.
Compatibility
This cooker hood is compatible with most standard 60 cm cooking hobs. For recirculating mode, ensure you purchase the correct carbon filters for this model.
Care
5-Layer Aluminum Filter Cleaning: The aluminum grease filters are designed for easy maintenance. For optimal performance, clean them regularly (typically every 3-4 weeks, depending on cooking frequency):
- Disassembly: Carefully unclip and remove the aluminum filters.
- Cleaning: Wash filters by hand in warm, soapy water or place them in a dishwasher. Ensure they are thoroughly dry before re-inserting.
- Reassembly: Slot the dry filters back into their housing, ensuring they are securely clipped in.
Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
LED Lights: The integrated LED lights are long-lasting. If replacement is needed, consult the user manual or a qualified technician.
