6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient performance of your extractor hood.
6.1 Cleaning the Grease Filters
The metal grease filters are designed to trap grease particles from cooking fumes. They should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to prevent a build-up of grease, which can reduce efficiency and pose a fire risk. The filters are dishwasher-safe.
- Ensure the hood is switched off and disconnected from the power supply.
- Open the filter latches and remove the grease filters.
- Wash the filters by hand in hot soapy water or place them in a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle.
- Allow the filters to dry completely before re-installing them.
- Re-insert the filters, ensuring they click securely into place.
6.2 Cleaning the Hood Exterior
The hood features a stainless steel finish. Clean the exterior regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel. Avoid using abrasive sponges, harsh detergents, or corrosive products.
6.3 LED Lighting
The hood is equipped with long-lasting LED lighting. If a light needs replacement, contact a qualified technician or CATA customer service.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your hood, refer to the following common problems and solutions before contacting technical support.
- Hood does not turn on: Check if the power cable is securely plugged in and if there is power to the outlet. Check the circuit breaker.
- Poor extraction performance: Ensure grease filters are clean. Check if the exhaust ducting is clear and not obstructed. Verify the hood is set to an appropriate extraction level.
- Excessive noise: Some noise is normal during operation (sound level 50 dB(A) at minimum, up to 67 dB(A) at maximum). Ensure the hood is securely mounted and all filters are correctly installed. Check for any loose components or obstructions in the fan.
- Lights not working: Check if the light button has been pressed. If individual LEDs are out, they may require professional replacement.
If the problem persists after checking these points, please contact CATA customer support or a qualified service technician.
