4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your range hood.
4.1 Metal Grease Filter
The hood is equipped with a washable metal grease filter. The filter saturation display will indicate when cleaning is necessary.
- Turn off the power to the hood before removing the filter.
- Remove the metal grease filter according to the instructions in the full installation manual.
- Wash the filter by hand with hot water and a mild detergent, or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle.
- Ensure the filter is completely dry before re-installing.
4.2 Optional Carbon Filter
If your hood is operating in recirculation mode, an optional carbon filter (reference CFC01411529A) is required. Carbon filters are not washable and must be replaced periodically. The filter saturation display will also indicate when the carbon filter needs attention.
- Turn off the power to the hood.
- Remove the old carbon filter.
- Install a new carbon filter (CFC01411529A) according to the instructions provided with the filter.
4.3 Cleaning Surfaces
Clean the stainless steel and glass surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for these materials. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can scratch the finish.
5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your range hood.
- Hood is noisy: The operating noise level is 64 Decibels. If the noise is excessive or unusual, check for obstructions in the ducting, ensure filters are clean and correctly installed, and verify that all mounting screws are tight.
- Poor extraction: Ensure the metal grease filters are clean. If using a carbon filter, check if it needs replacement. Verify that the exhaust duct is not blocked or restricted.
- Lights not working: Check the electrical connection. If individual LEDs are out, they may require professional replacement.
- Filter saturation indicator remains on after cleaning/replacement: Consult the full manual for instructions on resetting the filter indicator.
