The FABER NOVA PLUS 1000 INOX ceiling hood is controlled via a remote control.

5.1. Power On/Off

Press the power button on the remote control to turn the hood on or off.

5.2. Fan Speed Adjustment

The hood offers 3 fan speeds. Use the speed control buttons on the remote to select the desired extraction level. Higher speeds are suitable for intense cooking, while lower speeds are for lighter tasks.

5.3. LED Lighting

Press the light button on the remote control to switch the integrated LED lighting on or off. The LED lights provide illumination for your cooking area.

5.4. 24H Function

Activate the 24H function for continuous, low-power ventilation throughout the day. This feature helps maintain air quality by gently circulating air, even when not actively cooking. Refer to the remote control's specific button for this function.

6. Maintenance

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

6.1. Cleaning the Mesh Filters

The hood is equipped with mesh filters designed to trap grease. These filters should be cleaned regularly (e.g., monthly, depending on usage) to maintain extraction efficiency and prevent fire hazards.

• Removal: Carefully unlatch and remove the mesh filters from the hood.
• Cleaning: Wash the filters by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before re-installation.
• Re-installation: Insert the dry filters back into their positions, ensuring they are securely latched.

6.2. Cleaning the Hood Exterior

Clean the brushed stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could scratch the surface.

6.3. Replacing LED Lights

If an LED light fails, contact a qualified technician or FABER customer support for replacement. Do not attempt to replace the LED modules yourself unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.

7. Troubleshooting

Before contacting customer service, review the following common issues and solutions:

• Hood does not turn on: Check if the appliance is properly plugged into a power outlet. Verify the circuit breaker. Ensure the remote control batteries are not depleted.
• Poor extraction performance: Clean the mesh filters. Ensure there are no obstructions in the ducting (if ducted). Check if the fan speed is set appropriately for the cooking intensity.
• Unusual noise: Check for loose components or objects inside the hood. Ensure the filters are correctly installed.
• Lights not working: Check if the light function is activated via the remote. If individual LEDs are out, they may need replacement by a technician.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact FABER customer support.
