4.1 Control Panel
The touch panel allows you to power the unit on/off, adjust fan speed, and control the lighting. Red indicator LEDs show the currently selected power level.
4.2 Fan Speed Selection
The hood offers three selectable circulation modes (fan speeds) to suit different cooking needs. Press the corresponding touch button to cycle through the speeds:

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your extractor hood. Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before performing any cleaning or maintenance tasks.
5.1 Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior surfaces (safety glass and stainless steel) with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
5.2 Cleaning the Grease Filter
The aluminum grease filter should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to maintain effective grease removal. The filter is washable.
- Carefully remove the grease filter from the hood.
- Wash the filter by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle.
- Allow the filter to dry completely before re-installing it.
