Ventilation Modes:
This range hood supports two ventilation modes:
- Recirculation Mode: Oil smoke is filtered through the included activated carbon filter, and fresh air is discharged back into the kitchen. No external ducting is required.
- Exhaust Mode: Smoke is directly extracted and discharged through an exhaust opening (Ø=120 mm). An activated carbon filter is not required for this mode.

Activated Carbon Filter (for recirculation mode):
If using the range hood in recirculation mode, the activated carbon filter should be replaced periodically, typically every 3-6 months depending on usage. Refer to the specific carbon filter model (CC130) for replacement instructions.
Exterior Cleaning:
The hood is constructed from high-quality brushed stainless steel. Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your range hood, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No power: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into an outlet and if the circuit breaker has tripped.
- Fan not working: Ensure the fan speed button is pressed. Check for any obstructions in the fan or ductwork.
- Poor extraction: Clean or replace the grease filters. If in recirculation mode, check if the carbon filter needs replacement. Ensure there are no blockages in the exhaust duct (if applicable).
- Excessive noise: Check if the filters are correctly installed. Ensure the range hood is securely mounted and that there are no loose parts.
For persistent issues, please contact customer support.
