3.3 Ventilation Modes
The cooker hood supports two ventilation modes:
Figure 3: Extraction vs. Recirculation Ventilation Modes.
- Recirculation Mode: Filters cooking grease and odors through the included carbon filter (CC170) and returns purified air to the kitchen. This mode is suitable when external venting is not possible.
- Exhaust Mode: Fumes and odors are ducted out of the home via the aluminum exhaust pipe. This mode requires an external vent opening.
4. Operating Instructions
The FIREGAS cooker hood features a touch screen control panel for easy operation.

4.2 Brushless Motor Advantages
Figure 5: Brushless Motor Technology.
The brushless motor provides several benefits:
- High Efficiency: Increased operating efficiency compared to traditional motors.
- Energy-Saving: Reduces internal wear and tear, leading to lower power consumption. Annual energy consumption is approximately 14.9 kWh.
- Long Life: Enhanced durability due to reduced friction.
- Low Noise: Operates quietly, reducing noise by up to 3 decibels compared to similar products.
4.3 Extraction Performance
Figure 6: Extraction Performance.
The hood offers a maximum air volume of 532.4 m³/h (or 487 m³/h as indicated in some visuals) across its 9 speed settings, effectively removing smoke, odors, and grease from your kitchen.
4.4 LED Lighting
The cooker hood is equipped with 2x2W bright LED lights, providing clear illumination over your cooking area. These lights are energy-saving and long-lasting.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your cooker hood.
5.1 Cleaning the Aluminium Grease Filters
- The aluminium grease filters should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage).
- To remove, push the latch on the filter and pull downwards.
- Clean the filters by hand in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle.
- Ensure filters are completely dry before re-installing.
5.2 Replacing the Carbon Filter (Recirculation Mode Only)
- If using the hood in recirculation mode, the carbon filter (Model No: CC170) needs to be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage).
- To replace, remove the aluminium grease filters first.
- Twist or unclip the old carbon filter from its housing.
- Install the new carbon filter, ensuring it is securely in place.
- Carbon filters cannot be washed or regenerated.
5.3 Cleaning the Exterior
- Clean the tempered glass and stainless steel surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
- Avoid using abrasive pads, corrosive detergents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Always wipe in the direction of the stainless steel grain.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your cooker hood, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Hood does not turn on | No power supply | Check if the plug is securely in the socket and the circuit breaker is on. |
| Low extraction power | Clogged grease filters or saturated carbon filter | Clean aluminium filters. Replace carbon filter if in recirculation mode. |
| Excessive noise | Loose components or obstruction in the fan | Ensure all parts are securely fastened. Check for foreign objects in the fan area (after disconnecting power). |
| Lights not working | Faulty LED module | Contact customer support for replacement. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact FIREGAS customer support.
