Grease Filters:

• The stainless steel grease filters should be cleaned regularly, approximately every 2 months, or more frequently with heavy use.
• To remove, locate the release clips on each filter, press them, and pull the filter downwards.
• The filters are dishwasher safe. Use a mild detergent and a low-temperature cycle.
• Ensure filters are completely dry before re-installing.

Carbon Filters (for filtering mode only):

• If your hood is operating in filtering mode, the optional active carbon filters (F3 - 112.0067.944 or FLL3 - 112.0544.470) need to be replaced periodically.
• Replacement frequency depends on usage, typically every 3-6 months.
• Refer to the carbon filter packaging for specific replacement instructions.

General Cleaning:

• Clean the exterior surfaces of the hood with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel.
• Do not use abrasive products, alcohol, or corrosive substances.

7. Troubleshooting

Before contacting customer support, please check the following common issues:

• Hood not operating: Ensure the appliance is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped.
• Low suction power: Check if the grease filters are clean and properly installed. If using filtering mode, the carbon filters might need replacement. Ensure ducting is not obstructed.
• Lights not working: Check if the light switch is activated. If individual bulbs are replaceable, check their condition.
• Lights not turning off: Verify the glass panel is fully closed, as it may activate a switch for the lights.
• Excessive noise: Ensure all mounting screws are tight and the ducting is securely fitted. Check for any loose components or obstructions in the fan.
