- Width: 900 mm
- Depth: 455 mm
- Body Height (without chimney): 388 mm
- Chimney Height (adjustable): 400 - 780 mm
- Total Height: 788 - 1168 mm
- Air Outlet Diameter: Ø 150 mm
Electrical Connection
Connect the appliance to a standard 220-240V, 50Hz power supply. Ensure that the electrical installation includes proper grounding to prevent electrical hazards.
Ventilation Modes
The range hood is versatile and supports two primary ventilation modes: extraction (ducted) and recirculation (ductless).
Extraction Mode
In extraction mode, cooking fumes and odors are drawn through the metal grease filter and expelled directly outside your home through a dedicated ducting system. Ensure the ducting is correctly installed, sealed, and free from obstructions for optimal performance.
Recirculation Mode
For recirculation mode, air is first filtered through the metal grease filter to remove grease particles, then passes through an active carbon filter to absorb odors, before being returned as clean air to the kitchen. The necessary recirculation kit, including the active carbon filter, is provided with your appliance.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and longevity of your range hood.
Cleaning the Metal Grease Filters
The metal grease filters are designed to trap grease particles from cooking fumes. For optimal efficiency and to prevent fire hazards, these filters should be cleaned regularly, approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on your cooking habits.
- Turn off the range hood and disconnect it from the main power supply before cleaning.
- Carefully remove the metal grease filters by releasing their respective latches or clips.
- Wash the filters either by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher using a gentle cycle.
- Ensure the filters are completely dry before re-installing them into the range hood.
Replacing the Active Carbon Filters (Recirculation Mode Only)
If your range hood is operating in recirculation mode, the active carbon filters are crucial for absorbing cooking odors. These filters are not washable and must be replaced periodically, typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage frequency and cooking intensity.
- Turn off the range hood and disconnect it from the main power supply.
- Remove the metal grease filters to gain access to the active carbon filters.
- Carefully remove the old, saturated active carbon filters.
- Install new active carbon filters, ensuring they are securely fitted according to the appliance's design.
- Re-install the metal grease filters.
Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior surfaces of the range hood with a soft cloth dampened with a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, especially on the glass and stainless steel surfaces, as these can cause damage or scratches.
