Refer to the control panel diagram in your product's quick start guide for specific button functions.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your chimney hood.

6.1. Cleaning the Metal Grease Filters

The metal grease filters should be cleaned regularly, typically every 3-4 weeks depending on usage. They can be washed by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before re-inserting.

6.2. Replacing the Carbon Filters (Recirculation Mode)

If your hood is operating in recirculation mode, the carbon filters (for odor filtration) need to be replaced periodically, usually every 3-6 months. Follow the instructions provided with the carbon filter kit for replacement. These filters cannot be washed.

6.3. Cleaning the Exterior

Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the finish.

6.4. Replacing Halogen Lamps

To replace a halogen lamp, ensure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply. Carefully remove the old lamp and insert a new 30-watt halogen lamp of the same type. Refer to the product diagram for lamp access.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your chimney hood, consult the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Hood not turning on: Check if the appliance is properly plugged in and if the circuit breaker has tripped.
• Poor extraction: Ensure grease filters are clean and not clogged. Verify that ducting is clear and unobstructed. If in recirculation mode, check if carbon filters need replacement.
• Excessive noise: Check for loose parts or obstructions in the fan. Ensure the hood is securely mounted.
• Lights not working: Check if the bulbs are securely fitted or need replacement. Ensure power is supplied to the unit.

If the problem persists after performing these checks, contact authorized service personnel.
