Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

Follow the installation instructions provided in the user manual, paying close attention to the vent connection diameter (15 cm).
Compatibility
The DA1260 is designed to fit standard kitchen cabinetry. Ensure your cabinet dimensions are compatible before purchasing. This extractor hood requires a 230V, 50 Hz power supply.
Care
- Cleaning the Grease Filters: The stainless steel grease filters should be cleaned regularly, ideally after every 10-15 hours of use, or when saturated with grease. They are dishwasher-safe. For best results, use a mild detergent.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior stainless steel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Replacing Charcoal Filters (if applicable): If your model uses charcoal filters (Active AirClean), replace them as recommended in the user manual to maintain odor absorption. The frequency of replacement depends on usage.
- Maintaining the Motor: The motor requires no specific maintenance. However, ensure the vents are clear and free from obstructions.
