FAQs
What is the difference between ducted and recirculating installation?
Ducted installation vents cooking fumes and steam directly outside your home via ducting. Recirculating installation filters the air and releases it back into the kitchen, requiring carbon filters to remove odours.
How often should I clean the filters?
The metal grease filters should be cleaned regularly, ideally after every few uses or at least once a month, depending on your cooking habits. Carbon filters for recirculating mode typically need replacement every 3-6 months.
What is the maximum extraction rate?
The maximum extraction rate is 610 m³/h, with a boost mode reaching 710 m³/h.
Can I use this hood with any type of hob?
Yes, this cooker hood is suitable for use with most standard hob types. Ensure it is installed at the recommended height above your hob.
What type of lighting does it use?
It uses two 1W LED bulbs, providing efficient and bright illumination over the cooking area.
What are the dimensions of the cooker hood?
The cooker hood measures 900 mm in width, 450 mm in depth, and its height is adjustable between 600 mm and 1060 mm.
Is the stainless steel finish easy to maintain?
Yes, the stainless steel finish can be easily maintained by wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratches.
Troubleshooting
Hood not turning on
Check that the cooker hood is properly plugged into a working power outlet. Ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped.
Reduced extraction power
Clean or replace the grease filters. If used in recirculating mode, check and replace the carbon filters. Ensure there are no obstructions in the ducting (if applicable).
Excessive noise
Verify that all filters are correctly installed and secure. Check for any loose parts or obstructions. Ensure the hood is securely mounted to the wall.
Lights not working
Check the LED bulb connections. If a bulb is faulty, replace it with a new 1W LED bulb of the correct specification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a wall-mounted cooker hood. Installation requires either ducting to the outside of your home or configuring it for recirculation using carbon filters. Ensure the hood is mounted at the appropriate height above your hob as per manufacturer guidelines. Electrical connection should be performed by a qualified electrician.
Compatibility: The hood is designed for use with standard AC power (220-240 V, 50-60 Hz). It is compatible with most standard hob installations. For ducted installation, an exhaust connection diameter of at least 15 cm is required. For recirculating, ensure you have the correct carbon filters installed.
Care:
- Filters: The metal grease filters are washable. Remove them regularly and clean with warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher on a gentle cycle. Replace carbon filters as needed (typically every 3-6 months if used for recirculation) – these are not washable.
- Surface: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the finish.
- Lighting: The LED bulbs are designed for longevity. If a bulb fails, replace it with a compatible 1W LED bulb.
