Setting up your Living and Home 60cm Visor Cooker Hood offers flexibility. It can be installed as a ducted system, venting air directly outside through a duct, or as a recirculating (ductless) system, which filters the air and returns it to the kitchen. For recirculating mode, please note that carbon filters are required and are sold separately. The compact dimensions (600x80x440mm) make it particularly compatible with smaller kitchen spaces or for discreet under-cabinet mounting. For care and maintenance, the 5-layer aluminum filters are detachable and washable. It's recommended to clean them every 3-4 weeks, depending on your cooking frequency. They can be hand-washed with warm, soapy water or placed in a dishwasher. The exterior of the hood can be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Always ensure the hood is powered off before cleaning.
