5.2 Replacing Charcoal Filters (Ductless Mode)
If using the range hood in ductless mode, the charcoal filters should be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage) to maintain effective odor absorption. Refer to the installation section for removal and replacement instructions.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your BRANO range hood, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Verify the circuit breaker has not tripped.
- Fan Not Working: Ensure the fan speed is selected. Check for any obstructions in the fan or ductwork.
- Poor Suction: Clean or replace the baffle filters. For ductless models, replace the charcoal filters. Check for blockages in the ductwork (if ducted). Ensure the hood is installed at the recommended height above the cooking surface.
- Excessive Noise: Check if the filters are properly installed. Ensure all mounting screws are tight. Verify there are no loose parts or obstructions in the fan assembly.
- Lights Not Working: Check if the light function is activated. If individual lights are out, they may need replacement (contact customer support for assistance).
If the problem persists after attempting these steps, please contact BRANO customer support.
