Product Information

Full details

This 60cm Chimney Cooker Hood in Silver is ideal for home cooks looking to maintain a fresh and clean kitchen environment. Its primary benefit is a powerful 400 m³/h extraction rate that effectively removes steam, smoke, and odors. A potential caveat is the need for either external venting (Extraction Mode) or effective internal filter maintenance (Recirculation Mode). Key features include two modes of operation, three speed settings, manual controls, and an integrated LED light, all with an energy-efficient A++ rating.

FAQs

What is the difference between Extraction and Recirculation Mode?

Extraction Mode vents air and odours outside your home through ducting. Recirculation Mode filters the air through grease and carbon filters and returns it to your kitchen. Extraction is generally more effective at removing strong odours and steam.

Do I need to buy carbon filters?

The cooker hood comes with 2 carbon filters, allowing you to use Recirculation Mode immediately. However, these filters have a limited lifespan and will eventually need replacing depending on your usage.

How often should I clean the grease filters?

It is recommended to clean the grease filters regularly, ideally after every few uses or at least once a month, to maintain optimal performance and prevent grease buildup.

What are the dimensions of the cooker hood?

The dimensions are approximately (H)57-85 cm x (W)59.8 cm x (D)44.8 cm. The height is adjustable to fit different ceiling heights.

What is the energy efficiency rating?

This cooker hood has an A++ energy efficiency rating, which means it is very energy efficient and will help save on electricity costs.

What is the warranty period?

The cooker hood comes with a 1-year guarantee as standard. You can get an extra year by registering your product, for a total of up to 2 years.

Can I install this myself?

The unit comes with installation hardware. However, due to the nature of electrical and venting installation, professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and proper functioning, especially if you are unfamiliar with such tasks.

Troubleshooting

Cooker hood not turning on

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Reduced extraction power

Ensure the grease filters are clean and not clogged. If using Recirculation Mode, check if the carbon filters need replacement. Verify that the vent hose (if used) is not kinked or blocked.

Excessive noise

Check that all parts are securely fitted. Ensure no obstructions are present in the fan blades or ducting. Vibration from the unit could also indicate it's not securely mounted.

LED light not working

The LED light is a non-replaceable component. If it fails, contact customer support. Ensure the unit is powered on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The cooker hood includes components for installation: Lower and Upper Flue Ducts, Vent Hose and Clip, Screws, Wall Plugs, and Fixing Brackets. Ensure you use appropriate wall plugs for your specific wall type. For Extraction Mode, external venting is required. For Recirculation Mode, ensure carbon filters are correctly fitted. Consult the included manual for detailed step-by-step instructions.

Compatibility: This is a 60cm wide chimney cooker hood, designed to fit standard kitchen units. It operates on standard household electricity. For Extraction Mode, compatibility depends on having an external wall for venting.

Care: Regularly clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. The grease filters should be washed frequently (check manual for details, often dishwasher safe). Carbon filters in Recirculation Mode need periodic replacement; the frequency depends on usage. The LED light is a built-in component. Ensure the cooker hood is turned off and unplugged before cleaning.
