4.2 Ventilation Modes
Choose between recirculation mode or exhaust mode based on your kitchen setup and preferences.
Image 4.2: Visual representation of the dual ventilation modes. Recirculation mode uses activated carbon filters to purify air before releasing it back into the kitchen. Exhaust mode expels smoke and odors outdoors via an exhaust pipe.
- Recirculation Mode: For kitchens without an external exhaust duct. Activated carbon filters (included) absorb odors and grease, and the purified air is recirculated back into the kitchen. Ensure carbon filters are installed correctly.
- Exhaust Mode: For kitchens with an external exhaust duct. The included exhaust hose directs cooking fumes and odors outside. Carbon filters are not required for this mode but grease filters must always be in place.
Refer to the detailed installation guide provided in the packaging for specific steps on mounting the unit, connecting the exhaust hose (if applicable), and installing the carbon filters.
5. Operation
The cooker hood can be operated using the integrated touch screen panel or the supplied remote control.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the Exterior
The smooth surface of the cooker hood is easy to clean. Use a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the finish.

The aluminum mesh filters capture grease particles. They should be cleaned regularly (e.g., monthly, depending on usage) to maintain suction efficiency and prevent fire hazards. The filters can be washed by hand with hot soapy water or in a dishwasher.

6.3 Replacing Activated Carbon Filters (for Recirculation Mode)
If using the hood in recirculation mode, the activated carbon filters absorb odors. These filters cannot be cleaned and must be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage). Refer to the product packaging for compatible replacement filters.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your cooker hood, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Verify the circuit breaker.
- Low Suction Power: Ensure grease filters are clean and not clogged. If in recirculation mode, check if carbon filters need replacement. Verify that the exhaust duct (if applicable) is not obstructed.
- Unusual Noise: Check for loose parts or obstructions in the fan assembly. Ensure the hood is securely mounted to the wall.
- Lights Not Working: Check if the LED lights are properly connected. If individual LEDs are replaceable, consult a technician.
