4.1 Control Panel Functions

The control panel typically includes buttons for:

• Power ON/OFF: To switch the hood on or off.
• Fan Speed Selection: Three distinct power levels (1, 2, 3) are available to adjust the extraction rate according to your cooking needs.
• Light ON/OFF: To control the integrated LED lighting (2 x 1.5 watts) for illuminating your cooking area.

It is recommended to switch on the extractor hood a few minutes before you start cooking and leave it running for a few minutes after you finish to ensure all fumes and odors are effectively removed.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your extractor hood. Always disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance.

5.1 Cleaning the Grease Filter

The aluminum grease filter should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to prevent grease buildup and maintain extraction efficiency. The central front flap can be opened for easy access.

• Remove the grease filter by releasing its latches.
• Wash the filter by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher using a mild detergent.
• Ensure the filter is completely dry before re-installing.

5.2 Replacing Activated Carbon Filters (Recirculation Mode)

If your hood is operating in recirculation mode, the activated carbon filters need to be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage) as they cannot be washed. Used filters lose their odor-absorbing capacity.

• Remove the grease filter to access the activated carbon filters.
• Twist or unlatch the old carbon filters to remove them.
• Install new activated carbon filters, ensuring they are securely in place.
• Matching replacement activated charcoal filters are available under item number 10030727.

5.3 Cleaning the Exterior

Clean the 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.
