Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation
The CHL100BL can be installed as either a ducted or recirculated hood. For ducted installation, the hood vents air outside the kitchen. For recirculated installation, the hood uses charcoal filters to clean the air before recirculating it back into the kitchen. Professional installation is recommended for ducting.
Compatibility
Ensure that the hood's width (100cm) is compatible with your cooktop. Check that your kitchen layout accommodates either ducting or the placement of the charcoal filters for recirculation.
Care
- Cleaning Filters: The aluminium grease filters are dishwasher safe. Clean them regularly to maintain the hood's efficiency.
- Wiping Surfaces: Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Charcoal Filters: If using the recirculating option, replace the charcoal filters as per the manufacturer's instructions, typically every 3-6 months depending on usage.
