The hood supports two ventilation modes:
- Exhaust Mode: Air is extracted from the kitchen and expelled outside through a duct. If using this mode, you will need to prepare your own φ120mm exhaust duct.
- Recirculation Mode: Air is filtered through the grease and charcoal filters, then recirculated back into the kitchen. This mode is suitable when external venting is not possible.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your extractor hood.
7.1. Cleaning Grease Filters
The multilayer grease filters should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to prevent grease buildup and maintain suction efficiency. They can be washed by hand with warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
- Turn off the power supply to the hood before cleaning.
- Remove the grease filters by pulling the latch and lowering the filter.
- Clean the filters thoroughly.
- Allow filters to dry completely before re-installing.
7.2. Replacing Charcoal Filters (Recirculation Mode Only)
If your hood is operating in recirculation mode, the charcoal filter (Model No.: CC 130) needs to be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage) as it cannot be washed. A saturated charcoal filter will reduce air flow and odor absorption.
- Turn off the power supply to the hood.
- Remove the grease filters to access the charcoal filters.
- Twist or unclip the old charcoal filters and remove them.
- Install new charcoal filters by aligning and twisting/clipping them into place.
- Re-install the grease filters.
7.3. General Cleaning
Clean the exterior surfaces of the hood with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or corrosive substances.
