Troubleshooting
Hose is difficult to fit onto the outlet.
Ensure you are attempting to fit it onto the correct 6" (150mm) outlet. If the hose feels tight, a small amount of lubricant (like soapy water) applied to the rim of the outlet or hose might help. Do not force the connection.
Reduced airflow from the cooker hood.
Check the entire length of the vent hose for kinks or sharp bends. Inspect the inside of the hose for any accumulated debris or obstructions. Ensure the external vent is not blocked.
Excessive noise from the vent hose.
While designed for noise reduction, some noise is normal. Ensure the hose is securely attached at both ends and that there are no loose connections vibrating. Check for internal obstructions that might cause turbulence.
Hose appears to be leaking air.
Inspect all connection points at the appliance and the wall vent. Secure any loose clamps or consider using appropriate sealing tape (e.g., foil tape) to create an airtight seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the power to your cooker hood is switched off at the mains.
- Locate the existing vent hose connection on your range hood and the wall or ceiling vent.
- Carefully remove the old vent hose. You may need a screwdriver to loosen any clamps.
- Attach the Spares2Go Vent Hose to the cooker hood outlet, securing it firmly. It's recommended to use a hose clamp (not included) for a tight fit.
- Connect the other end of the hose to your wall or ceiling vent. Again, use a hose clamp if necessary.
- Ensure the hose is not kinked or sharply bent, as this can restrict airflow and reduce performance.
- Restore power to the cooker hood and test the ventilation system.
Compatibility:
This hose is specifically designed for cooker hoods with a 6" (150mm) diameter exhaust outlet, and is listed as compatible with Siemens range hoods. Always double-check the diameter of your existing hose and the appliance's outlet before purchasing.
Care:
- Periodically inspect the hose for any signs of damage, such as tears or kinks.
- Gently wipe the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth if it becomes dusty. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
- Ensure the internal duct remains clear of obstructions. If airflow seems reduced, check for blockages.
