FAQs
What is the difference between Extraction and Recirculation modes?
Extraction Mode filters air through grease and carbon filters and vents it outside. Recirculation Mode filters air through grease and carbon filters and returns purified air back into the kitchen. Extraction is generally more effective at removing odors and steam.
How often should I clean the grease filters?
It is recommended to clean the metal grease filters monthly, or more often if you frequently cook greasy foods. They can usually be washed in warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher.
When do I need to replace the carbon filters?
Carbon filters are used in Recirculation Mode and typically need replacing every 3-6 months, depending on how often you use the hood and the type of cooking you do. They are not washable and must be replaced.
What is the extraction rate of this cooker hood?
The maximum extraction rate for this Russell Hobbs cooker hood is 400 cubic meters per hour (m³/h).
Does this cooker hood come with carbon filters?

Troubleshooting
Cooker hood is not extracting air.
Check if the unit is plugged in and the power switch is on. Ensure the correct speed setting is selected. Verify that the filters are not excessively dirty or blocked. If using Extraction Mode, check that the ducting is not obstructed.
LED light is not working.
Ensure the light switch is activated. If the bulb has burnt out, consult the user manual for replacement instructions, as LED bulbs are typically integrated and may require professional service.
Excessive noise during operation.
Check that the cooker hood is securely mounted and all parts are properly fitted. Ensure the filters are clean and correctly installed. If noise persists, it might be related to the motor or fan speed; consult the user manual or a professional.
Reduced extraction power over time.
Clean or replace the grease filters. If in Recirculation Mode, replace the carbon filters. Ensure no blockages exist in the ducting (for Extraction Mode).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation of this cooker hood should ideally be performed by a qualified professional, especially if utilizing the Extraction Mode which requires venting to the outside. Ensure the hood is mounted securely above your hob at the recommended height. All necessary parts for installation are typically included.
Compatibility:
This 60cm cooker hood is designed to be compatible with standard 60cm wide hobs. For Extraction Mode, ensure you have a suitable external wall or ducting system available. For Recirculation Mode, no external venting is required, but access for filter replacement is necessary.
Care:
- Grease Filters: Clean the metal grease filters regularly (e.g., monthly) by washing them in warm, soapy water or placing them in a dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
- Carbon Filters: If using Recirculation Mode, the carbon filters should be replaced approximately every 3-6 months, depending on usage, to maintain air purification effectiveness. These are typically non-washable.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
- LED Light: The LED light is designed for longevity; if replacement is needed, consult the user manual for the correct type and procedure.
