FAQs
What type of filters does this range hood use?
It includes a detachable five-layer aluminum grease filter. For recirculating (ductless) operation, carbon filters for odor absorption must be purchased separately.
How do I clean the aluminum filter?
The aluminum filter is designed for easy hand washing. Simply remove it, wash with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely before re-installing into the hood.
Is this range hood loud during operation?
No, it operates quietly at less than 68 decibels, which is comparable to a normal conversation, ensuring a comfortable cooking and dining environment.
Can I install this range hood without a ventilation duct?
Yes, you can use this range hood in a recirculating (ductless) mode. However, for this setup, you will need to purchase and install specific carbon filters, which are sold separately, to filter the air before it's returned to your kitchen.
What is the recommended cleaning frequency for the filters?
The aluminum grease filters should ideally be cleaned every 2-4 weeks, depending on your cooking frequency. If using carbon filters for recirculation, they typically need replacement every 3-6 months.
What size cooktop is this range hood compatible with?
This is a 60cm wide range hood, making it perfectly compatible with most standard 60cm wide cooktops and hobs.
Troubleshooting
Fan isn't turning on or is weak.
Check the power connection to ensure the hood is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Verify that a fan speed setting is selected. Clean the aluminum filter, as a clogged filter can restrict airflow and make the fan seem weak.
Odors are not being fully removed from the kitchen.
Increase the fan speed to the highest setting for stronger odors. Ensure the aluminum filter is clean and free of grease buildup. If using in recirculating mode, check if the carbon filters are installed correctly and if they need to be replaced, as they have a limited lifespan.
The range hood is making excessive noise.
Ensure the hood is securely mounted to the wall and all screws are tightened. Check for any loose parts or foreign objects that might be caught in the fan blades. A very dirty filter can also cause increased motor strain and noise; try cleaning it.
The LED light is not working.
Check that the light switch is in the 'on' position. If it's still not working, the LED bulb may need replacement. Refer to your user manual for instructions on how to safely replace the LED bulb and the correct bulb type.

- The five-layer aluminum filter is detachable and designed for easy hand washing. Regularly remove the filter (typically every 2-4 weeks depending on use) and wash it in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before re-installing.
Exterior Cleaning:
- Wipe the stainless steel and tempered glass surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the finish.
