FAQs
What are the dimensions of this cooker hood?
The dimensions of the Living and Home 90cm Chimney Cooker Hood are 900mm (width) x 450mm (depth) x 569mm (minimum height), with an adjustable chimney height.
Can I use this cooker hood if I don't have external ducting?
Yes, this cooker hood supports internal recirculation. However, you will need to purchase and install carbon filters separately for this mode to effectively filter odors before returning air to the kitchen.
How often should I clean the aluminum filters?
The 5-layer aluminum filters should be cleaned regularly, typically every 2 to 4 weeks depending on how frequently and intensely you cook. They are easy to remove and can often be cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand with warm, soapy water.
Are carbon filters included with the purchase?
No, carbon filters required for the internal recirculation mode are sold separately and are not included with the cooker hood.
What kind of lighting does the hood use?
The cooker hood features built-in LED lights, designed to provide clear and efficient illumination over your stovetop.
Is the chimney height adjustable?
Yes, the chimney height of this cooker hood is adjustable, allowing for flexibility during installation to suit various ceiling heights.
Troubleshooting
Hood is not turning on or lights are not working
Check the power connection to the wall outlet and ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify that the power switch on the hood is in the 'on' position. If only the lights are out, check if the LED bulbs need replacement (refer to manual).
Suction power seems weak
Ensure the 5-layer aluminum filters are clean and not clogged with grease. For ducted systems, check for blockages in the ductwork or kinks in the duct. For recirculation mode, check if the carbon filters are old and need replacement. Also, make sure windows and doors are not creating excessive drafts that interfere with suction.
Excessive noise during operation
Check if the aluminum filters are correctly installed and seated. Inspect the fan blades for any obstructions or debris. For ducted systems, ensure ductwork is properly secured and free from leaks or sharp bends. Loose components can also cause vibrations; ensure all screws are tightened.
Odor is not fully removed in recirculation mode
This typically indicates that the carbon filters have reached the end of their lifespan and are saturated. Carbon filters effectively absorb odors but need regular replacement (usually every 3-6 months depending on usage). Ensure you are using the correct type of carbon filters for this model.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all packaging and inspect the cooker hood for any damage. Ensure all components are present.
- Mounting: The hood is designed for wall mounting above your stovetop. Refer to the detailed installation manual for precise measurements and mounting instructions. The adjustable chimney height allows for flexible positioning.
- Ducting vs. Recirculation: Decide whether to install for ducted-out operation or internal recirculation. For ducted operation, connect appropriate ductwork (not included) to an external vent. For recirculation, install the separately purchased carbon filters according to their instructions.
- Electrical Connection: Have a qualified electrician connect the hood to your household electrical supply, ensuring it meets local electrical codes.
Compatibility

- Ventilation: Compatible with existing external ducting systems or can operate in recirculation mode with suitable carbon filters.

Care
- Aluminum Filters: The 5-layer aluminum filters should be cleaned regularly, typically every 2-4 weeks depending on usage. To clean, unclip the filters, soak them in hot soapy water or a degreaser, then scrub gently, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry completely before reinstallation. They are often dishwasher-safe (check your manual).
- Exterior Surface: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish.
- LED Lights: If an LED light fails, consult the manual for replacement instructions or contact customer support. Do not attempt to replace non-user-serviceable parts.
