3. Operating Instructions
Your CIARRA cooker hood offers intuitive controls for efficient ventilation and lighting.
3.1 Control Panel
The hood is operated via a touch-sensitive control panel located on the front glass surface. The panel typically includes controls for power, fan speed, boost function, and lighting.

3.2 Fan Speed Selection
- Speed 1: For light cooking, simmering, or maintaining air quality.
- Speed 2: For moderate cooking with light to medium steam/fumes.
- Speed 3: For heavy cooking, frying, or when significant steam/fumes are present.
- Boost Function: Activates maximum extraction (650 m³/h) for a short period to quickly clear intense smoke or odors. The boost function typically deactivates automatically after a set time.

3.5 Wi-Fi Connectivity
For enhanced convenience, the hood can be controlled via a Wi-Fi connected application on your smartphone or tablet. Refer to the separate Wi-Fi setup guide or the app's instructions for pairing your device.
4. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your cooker hood. Always disconnect the power supply before performing any cleaning or maintenance tasks.
4.1 Cleaning the Exterior
- Wipe the exterior surfaces, especially the glass, with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and warm water.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
4.2 Cleaning/Replacing Grease Filters
The metal grease filters capture airborne grease particles. They should be cleaned regularly (e.g., monthly, depending on usage) to maintain extraction efficiency.

- To remove: Locate the release latches on the filters, push them, and pull the filter downwards.
- Cleaning: Wash the filters by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle. Ensure they are completely dry before re-installing.
- To re-install: Align the filter with its slot and push it upwards until the latches click into place.
4.3 Replacing Carbon Filters (for Recirculation Mode)
If your hood is operating in recirculation mode, carbon filters are essential for odor removal. These filters cannot be washed and must be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage).
- Refer to your specific model's instructions for carbon filter replacement, as the method may vary.
- Ensure you use genuine CIARRA replacement carbon filters for optimal performance.
