Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is an integrated canopy hood designed to be built into a kitchen wall unit. Installation requires fitting the unit into a suitable cabinet and connecting it to either an external ducting system for extraction or a recirculation kit (sold separately) with charcoal filters. Ensure the unit is securely mounted and electrical connections are made by a qualified person.
Compatibility: The hood is suitable for ducted extraction (venting outside) or recirculation (venting air back into the kitchen after filtering). It is designed for use with standard kitchen cabinetry and hobs up to 75cm wide. For recirculation, appropriate Siemens charcoal filters are required.
Care: Regular cleaning of the grease filters is essential for optimal performance. The aluminum filters are dishwasher-safe; simply place them in your dishwasher periodically. The exterior of the hood should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the hood is switched off and cool before cleaning.
