4.1. Mounting
- The hood can be attached directly to an under-cabinet unit or fixed to a free wall using the anchors at the rear.
- Ensure adequate clearance above the cooking surface as per local safety regulations.
- The hood dimensions are approximately 60 cm wide (59.8 cm), 30 cm deep (extendable to 35 cm with the adjustable corner extension), and 15 cm high.
4.2. Ducted (Extraction) Mode
In ducted mode, cooking fumes are expelled outside through an exhaust duct. The hood is pre-configured for this mode.
- Connect the hood's air outlet (12 cm diameter) to an external ducting system.
- Ensure the ducting is properly sealed to prevent air leaks.
4.3. Recirculating (Filtering) Mode
If external ducting is not possible, the hood can operate in recirculating mode. In this mode, air is filtered and returned to the kitchen.
- An activated carbon filter (Faber code 112.0157.238) must be purchased and installed.
- Refer to the carbon filter's instructions for proper installation.
- The carbon filter removes odors and humidity from the air before it is recirculated.
5. Operating Instructions

- Speed 1: For light cooking with minimal fumes.
- Speed 2: For normal cooking conditions.
- Speed 3: For heavy cooking, frying, or when producing a large amount of steam/fumes.
Press the corresponding button to select the desired speed. Pressing the 'Off' button will turn off the fan.
5.2. Lighting Control
The hood is equipped with one LED light to illuminate the cooking area.
