Installation Options:

• Extraction Mode: Air is extracted from the kitchen and vented outside through a ducting system. This requires a suitable exhaust duct.
• Recirculation Mode: Air is filtered through carbon filters to remove odors and then recirculated back into the kitchen. This mode is suitable for kitchens without external venting options. Carbon filters are required for this mode (often sold separately).

Mounting:

The hood is designed for integrated installation within a kitchen cabinet. Ensure sufficient clearance above the cooking surface as specified by local safety standards and the appliance manual. The product dimensions are approximately 17.3 cm (Height) x 52 cm (Width) x 28 cm (Depth).

5. Operation

The cooker hood is operated via the push-button control panel located on the front of the appliance.

Controls:

• Power Button (0): Turns the hood off.
• Speed Buttons (1, 2, 3): Selects one of the three available extraction speeds. Speed 1 is for light cooking, Speed 2 for normal cooking, and Speed 3 for intensive cooking or strong odors.
• Light Button (★): Turns the LED lights on or off.

For optimal performance, switch on the hood a few minutes before you start cooking and leave it running for approximately 10-15 minutes after you finish to clear residual fumes and odors.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your cooker hood.

Aluminum Grease Filters:

The aluminum grease filters capture airborne grease particles. They should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to maintain optimal performance and prevent fire hazards. The filters are dishwasher safe.

1. To remove, locate the release clips on the filter and gently pull down.
2. Wash the filters by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle.
3. Ensure filters are completely dry before re-installing.

Carbon Filters (for Recirculation Mode):

If your hood is operating in recirculation mode, carbon filters are used to absorb cooking odors. These filters cannot be washed and must be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage). Refer to your specific carbon filter instructions for replacement details.

LED Lighting:

The hood is equipped with long-lasting LED lights. If a light needs replacement, consult a qualified technician or the manufacturer's service center.

Cleaning the Exterior:

Clean the exterior surfaces of the hood with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning pads.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your cooker hood, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Hood does not operate: Check if the appliance is properly plugged into the power outlet and if the circuit breaker has tripped.
• Low extraction performance: Ensure grease filters are clean and not clogged. If in recirculation mode, check if carbon filters need replacement. Verify that the ducting (if applicable) is not obstructed.
• Excessive noise: Check for loose components or improper installation. Ensure filters are correctly seated.
• Lights not working: Check if the light button is pressed. If individual LEDs are out, they may require professional replacement.

For problems not listed here or if solutions do not resolve the issue, contact a qualified service technician.
