Operating Instructions

- To Deactivate: Push the extendable front panel back into its retracted position. The fan and LED lighting will automatically turn off.
Speed Settings
The hood offers 2 fan speed settings to adjust extraction power based on your cooking needs. Use the push buttons on the control panel to select your desired speed.
Memory Function
The cooker hood is equipped with a memory function that automatically restores your last used fan speed and lighting settings when the extendable panel is pulled out again.
LED Lighting
The integrated LED lights provide bright and energy-efficient illumination for your cooking surface. The lighting activates automatically with the fan or can be controlled independently via the push buttons.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your cooker hood. Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning or servicing.
Cleaning Aluminum Grease Filters
The aluminum grease filters should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to maintain extraction efficiency and prevent fire hazards.
- Removal: Locate the release latches on the filters and gently pull them down to remove.
- Cleaning: Wash the filters by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher (ensure they are suitable for dishwasher cleaning as per the full manual). For stubborn grease, a degreasing agent can be used.
- Reinstallation: Ensure filters are completely dry before reinserting them. Align the filters with the slots and push until they click into place.
Replacing Carbon Filters (for Recirculation Mode)
If your hood is operating in recirculation mode, the carbon filters absorb odors and should be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage). Carbon filters are not washable.
- Removal: Remove the aluminum grease filters first. The carbon filters are usually attached to the motor housing. Twist or unclip them to remove.
- Replacement: Install new carbon filters by aligning them and twisting or clipping them into place.
- Reinstallation: Reinstall the aluminum grease filters.
Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior surfaces of the cooker hood with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, which can damage the finish.
