2. Wall Mounting

1. Mark the drilling points on the wall according to the provided template (if applicable) and the hood's dimensions.
2. Drill holes and insert wall plugs.
3. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall using the provided screws.
4. Carefully lift the cooker hood and hang it onto the mounting bracket. Ensure it is level and securely seated.

3. Ducting or Recirculating Setup

Ducted Mode:

• Attach the 1.5m exhaust pipe to the outlet on top of the hood.
• Route the pipe to your external vent, ensuring minimal bends for optimal airflow.
• Seal all connections to prevent air leakage.

Recirculating Mode:

• Ensure the CBCF003 carbon filters are installed on the motor. These filters absorb odors and purify the air before returning it to the kitchen.
• No external ducting is required for this mode.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your cooker hood.

1. Cleaning the Grease Filters

The 5-layer aluminum grease filters should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to prevent grease buildup and maintain extraction efficiency. These filters are dishwasher safe.

1. Turn off the power supply to the hood.
2. Locate the filter release clips and unlatch them to remove the filters.
3. Wash the filters by hand in hot soapy water or place them in a dishwasher on a gentle cycle.
4. Allow the filters to dry completely before re-installing them.
5. Re-insert the filters, ensuring they click securely into place.

2. Replacing Carbon Filters (Recirculating Mode Only)

If you are using the hood in recirculating mode, the CBCF003 carbon filters need to be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage) as they cannot be washed.

1. Turn off the power supply to the hood.
2. Remove the grease filters as described above.
3. Locate the carbon filters attached to the motor housing. They usually twist or clip into place.
4. Remove the old carbon filters and dispose of them responsibly.
5. Install new CBCF003 carbon filters, ensuring they are securely fitted.
6. Re-install the grease filters.

3. Exterior Cleaning

Clean the exterior surfaces of the hood regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the black glass finish.
