FAQs
How often should I clean the grease filters?
It is recommended to clean the grease filters at least once a month, or more frequently if you do a lot of high-grease cooking, to maintain optimal performance and safety.
Do I need a carbon filter?
You only need a carbon filter if you plan to use the cooker hood in recirculation mode. If you are installing it with an external vent (ducted mode), a carbon filter is not required.
What is the energy efficiency rating?
This Igenix cooker hood has an energy efficiency rating of A.
What is the maximum airflow rate?
The maximum airflow rate is 399.4 cubic meters per hour (m³/h).
Can this hood be used with any type of hob?
This cooker hood is suitable for use above most standard electric, gas, or induction hobs. Ensure it is mounted at the recommended height above the hob for effective performance.
How do I switch between ducted and recirculation modes?
The mode is determined by your installation. If ducting is installed, it's in ducted mode. If no ducting is used and a carbon filter is installed, it's in recirculation mode. Ensure the correct setup is chosen during installation.
Troubleshooting
Cooker hood is not extracting air effectively.
Ensure the grease filters are clean and not clogged. Check if the correct installation mode (ducted or recirculating with a clean carbon filter) is being used. Verify that the fan speed is set appropriately for the cooking intensity.
The LED light is not working.
Check the power connection to the hood. If the light still does not work, it may require replacement. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions or contact customer support.
Unusual noise during operation.
Ensure all parts, including filters and any external ducting, are securely fitted. Loose components or obstructions in the ducting can cause noise. If the noise persists, contact customer support.
Odours are not being fully removed in recirculation mode.
The carbon filter may be saturated and require replacement. Ensure the correct type of carbon filter (IGCF05130B) is installed and that the hood is running on an appropriate speed setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This cooker hood can be installed in two primary ways:
- Ducted Installation: This method requires external ventilation. The hood extracts air and expels it outside through ducting. Ensure proper sealing and connection to an external vent.
- Recirculation Mode: If external ducting is not feasible, the hood can recirculate air. This requires the purchase of an optional carbon filter (IGCF05130B) which cleans the air before releasing it back into the kitchen. The grease filters should be cleaned regularly in this mode.
Compatibility:
- The hood is designed for standard 60cm kitchen openings.
- For recirculation, ensure you have purchased the compatible Igenix carbon filter (IGCF05130B).
Care and Maintenance:
- Grease Filters: The dual grease filters should be cleaned regularly to maintain optimal performance. They are typically removable and can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher (check manufacturer instructions).
- Exterior Surfaces: Clean the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
- LED Light: The LED light is designed for longevity. If it fails, consult the user manual for replacement instructions.
