Ventilation Modes:
Choose the appropriate ventilation mode for your kitchen setup:
- Duct Mode: Air is extracted outside through a duct system. This requires an external exhaust vent.
- Recirculation Mode: Air is filtered through activated carbon filters and then returned to the kitchen. This mode is suitable when external ducting is not possible. Ensure activated carbon filters are installed for this mode.
Image: Diagram illustrating the two ventilation modes: 'Ventilación exterior modo ducto' (exterior ventilation duct mode) where air is expelled, and 'Ventilación interior modo recirculación' (interior ventilation recirculation mode) where air is filtered and returned. Two activated carbon filters are shown at the bottom, which are used for recirculation mode.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your kitchen hood.
Cleaning the Metallic Mesh Filter:
The metallic mesh filter is designed to trap grease and is washable. Clean it regularly (e.g., monthly, depending on usage) to maintain optimal performance.
- Turn off and unplug the hood before cleaning.
- Carefully remove the metallic mesh filter.
- Wash the filter by hand with warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
- Allow the filter to dry completely before reinserting.
Replacing Activated Carbon Filters:
If using the hood in recirculation mode, the activated carbon filters absorb odors. These filters are not washable and must be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage).
- Turn off and unplug the hood.
- Remove the metallic mesh filter to access the carbon filters.
- Remove the old carbon filters and dispose of them.
- Install new carbon filters, ensuring they are securely in place.
- Reinstall the metallic mesh filter.
