FAQs
What is the difference between ducted and recirculating modes?
Ducted mode vents cooking fumes and steam outside your home through an external duct. Recirculating mode filters the air internally using grease and charcoal filters before releasing it back into the kitchen. Ducted is generally more effective at removing odors.
Do I need to buy charcoal filters separately?
Yes, if you plan to use the recirculating mode, you will need to purchase compatible charcoal filters separately as they are not always included as standard.
How often should I clean the grease filters?
It is recommended to clean the aluminium grease filters at least once a month, or more frequently if you do a lot of heavy frying, to maintain optimal performance and safety.
What is the extraction rate in m³/h?
The extraction rate of this AEG DKB4951M cooker hood is 600 m³/h.
What type of controls does this hood have?
This hood features simple push button controls for its three fan speeds and lighting.
Can I use this hood with any type of hob?
This hood is designed for use above standard cookers and hobs. Always ensure the correct clearance between the hob and the hood as per the installation manual for safety and performance.
Troubleshooting
Cooker hood is not extracting air effectively.
Check if the grease filters are clean and not clogged. Ensure the fan speed is set appropriately for the cooking activity. If ducted, verify the ducting is not blocked or kinked. If recirculating, confirm charcoal filters are installed and functioning.
Lights are not working.
Ensure the hood is properly connected to the power supply. Check if the LED bulbs need replacement, referring to the user manual for specific bulb types and replacement instructions.
Unusual noise during operation.
Verify that all parts are securely installed and that there are no loose components. Ensure the fan blades are clear of obstructions. A slight hum is normal, but loud grinding or rattling may indicate an issue requiring professional attention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This cooker hood can be installed in two configurations: ducted or recirculating. For ducted installation, ensure you have an external wall or suitable vent for the exhaust pipe. For recirculating installations, you will need to purchase compatible charcoal filters to purify the air before it is released back into the kitchen. Follow the manufacturer's installation manual carefully for safe and correct mounting.
Compatibility: The hood is designed to be mounted above standard-sized cookers and hobs. Ensure sufficient clearance between the hob and the hood as specified in the installation manual to maintain effectiveness and safety.
Care: Regularly clean the aluminium grease filters to prevent them from becoming clogged, which can reduce performance and pose a fire risk. These filters are typically dishwasher safe or can be hand-washed. The exterior of the hood should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
