- Recirculating Mode: Air is filtered through activated carbon filters to remove odors and then recirculated back into the kitchen. This mode is used when external venting is not possible. The product includes a charcoal filter for this purpose.
3.4 Included Components
The package includes installation tools and comprehensive instructions. A charcoal filter is also included for recirculation mode.
4. Operating Instructions
The Ciarra CBCB6903D range hood features intuitive push-button controls for easy operation.

The control panel consists of push buttons:
- Power Button: Turns the range hood on or off.
- Fan Speed Buttons (1, 2, 3): Selects one of the three available fan speeds.
- Light Button: Turns the LED lighting on or off.
4.2 Fan Speeds
The range hood offers three fan speeds to suit different cooking needs:
- Speed 1: Low speed for light cooking or simmering.
- Speed 2: Medium speed for general cooking.
- Speed 3: High speed for heavy cooking, frying, or strong odors.
4.3 LED Lighting
Press the light button to illuminate your cooking area. The LED lights are energy-efficient and provide clear visibility.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your range hood.
5.1 Cleaning the Grease Filter
The aluminum grease filters capture grease particles from cooking fumes. They should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to maintain efficiency.
- To remove: Locate the latch on the filter, push it in, and pull the filter downwards.
- Cleaning: Wash the filters by hand in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle.
- To reinstall: Ensure the filters are completely dry, then insert them back into their slots until they click into place.

5.2 Replacing the Charcoal Filter (Recirculating Mode Only)
If your range hood is operating in recirculating mode, the activated carbon filter removes odors from the air. These filters cannot be washed and must be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage).

- To replace: Remove the grease filters first. Twist or unclip the old charcoal filters from the motor housing.
- Install new charcoal filters by aligning them and twisting or clipping them into place.
- Reinstall the grease filters.
5.3 Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior surfaces of the range hood with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleaners.
