Troubleshooting

Hood not turning on

Check that the appliance is properly plugged into a working power outlet (240V, 50Hz). Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Reduced extraction power

Ensure the charcoal filters are clean or have been regenerated if applicable. Check the ducting (if used) for any obstructions. Ensure the correct speed setting is selected.

Unusual noise during operation

Verify that the hood is securely installed and not vibrating against cabinetry. Check for any loose parts or obstructions within the fan mechanism. Ensure filters are correctly seated.

Check the power supply. If the bulb itself has failed, it may need replacement. Consult the user manual for the correct bulb type and replacement procedure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a built-in extractor hood designed for integration into kitchen cabinetry. Installation typically involves mounting the unit within a custom cabinet space above the hob. It requires connection to either an external duct for ducted extraction or to an internal recirculation system. Ensure correct clearances are maintained from the hob surface (minimum 50 cm for electric, 75 cm for gas) as specified in the manual.

Compatibility:

  • Hob Type: Compatible with both electric and gas hobs, with specific minimum distance requirements.
  • Electrical: Requires a standard 240V, 50Hz power supply.
  • Extraction Type: Can be installed for ducted (external vent) or recirculating (internal filter) operation.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Filters: The charcoal filters are washable and regenerable and should be cleaned regularly (frequency depends on usage) to maintain odour absorption efficiency. The manufacturer suggests they can last up to 3 years if properly maintained.
  • Lighting: The LED bulbs are designed for longevity. If a bulb needs replacement, ensure it is compatible (2x2.1W LED).
  • Cleaning: The exterior and interior surfaces should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
