Inspect and clean the external vent periodically to remove any build-up or obstructions, typically every few months depending on usage.
Is professional installation recommended?

Troubleshooting
Poor Extraction Performance
Check for any kinks or blockages in the ducting. Ensure the external vent is not obstructed. Verify all connections are airtight.
Difficulties fitting the Extension Pipe
Ensure you have adequate space behind the hob and within the cabinet. Consider the routing path and if a corner piece is needed.
External Vent not fitting securely
Ensure the external wall opening is the correct size. Use appropriate sealant around the vent for a weather-tight fit.
Clamps not holding securely
Tighten the metal clamps to secure the ducting connections. Ensure the ducting is fully inserted into the connectors.
