The Bosch Chimney Cooker Hood excels at maintaining a fresh kitchen atmosphere. Its robust extraction power makes it highly effective during intense cooking sessions, quickly clearing strong food odors from frying, grilling, or simmering. You'll notice a significant reduction in lingering smells and condensation, making your kitchen more comfortable.
Thanks to its quiet extraction, you can comfortably hold conversations or listen to music while cooking, without the intrusive roar often associated with less advanced hoods. This feature is particularly appreciated in open-plan living spaces where noise can easily carry.
The integrated LED Illumination provides focused, shadow-free light directly onto your cooking surface. This not only improves visibility for intricate cooking tasks but also adds a welcoming glow to your kitchen, making it feel more inviting. Whether you're simmering a delicate sauce or searing a steak, the hood works diligently to ensure a clean, well-lit, and quiet cooking experience.
Unpack and Inspect: Carefully unbox the cooker hood and check for any transit damage. Retain packaging for potential returns or transport.
Mounting Height: Install the hood at the recommended height above your cooktop, typically between 65cm and 75cm for electric hobs, and 75cm to 85cm for gas hobs, as specified in the full instruction manual.
Ducting/Recirculation: Decide on your extraction type. For ducted extraction, connect a suitable ducting pipe (not included) to an external vent. For recirculation, ensure the air outlet is clear and that appropriate charcoal filters (not included) are installed.
Electrical Connection: Ensure the hood is connected to a suitable electrical supply by a qualified electrician, following local regulations.
Final Installation: Securely attach the chimney sections and ensure all connections are tight and stable. For precise installation, it is recommended to consult a professional installer.
Cooktop Width: This 750mm wide cooker hood is designed to be compatible with most standard cooktops of similar or smaller width.
Kitchen Space: Ensure adequate vertical space for the hood's dimensions (HxWxD: 799-975 x 750 x 500 mm or 553-730 x 750 x 500 mm, depending on mounting height).
Ducting: For ducted mode, compatible ducting with a suitable diameter (Info needed: [duct diameter]) and a clear path to the outside is required.
Charcoal Filters: For recirculation mode, specific Bosch charcoal filters (not included) are necessary for effective odor filtration.
Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the brushed steel exterior regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
Grease Filter Cleaning: The metal grease filters should be cleaned regularly (e.g., monthly, depending on usage). These are typically dishwasher-safe or can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water.
Charcoal Filter Replacement: If using recirculation mode, charcoal filters are not washable and must be replaced every 3-6 months, or more frequently with heavy use. Refer to your manual for specific replacement instructions and filter models.
LED Light Care: LED lights are long-lasting and generally do not require frequent replacement. If replacement is needed, consult the user manual or a qualified technician.
