4. Setup and Installation
The Cecotec Bolero Flux TLT 604000 is designed for easy installation into a kitchen cabinet. It can operate in either extraction mode (ducting air outside) or recirculation mode (filtering air and returning it to the kitchen).
4.1 Installation Requirements
- Cabinet Space: Ensure sufficient space within the cabinet for the hood's dimensions (refer to Figure 4 for detailed measurements).
- Power Supply: A grounded electrical outlet (220 Volts) must be available within reach of the power cord.
- Ducting (Extraction Mode): If using extraction mode, a 150 mm diameter ducting outlet is required to vent air outdoors.
- Carbon Filters (Recirculation Mode): For recirculation, ensure the carbon filters are installed (see Section 6.2).
4.2 Installation Steps (General Guidelines)
- Prepare Cabinet: Cut out the necessary openings in the cabinet for the hood body and the ducting (if applicable), according to the provided template or dimensions.
- Mount Hood: Secure the hood to the underside of the cabinet using appropriate screws and brackets. Ensure it is level and firmly attached.
- Connect Ducting (Extraction Mode): Attach the ducting hose to the hood's outlet and route it to the exterior vent. Ensure all connections are sealed to prevent air leaks.
- Install Carbon Filters (Recirculation Mode): If using recirculation, install the carbon filters as described in the maintenance section.
- Electrical Connection: Plug the hood into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Test Operation: Turn on the hood and test all functions (speeds, lights) to ensure proper operation.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your extractor hood. Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before performing any maintenance.
6.1 Cleaning Aluminum Grease Filters
The hood is equipped with 5-layer aluminum grease filters designed to capture airborne grease particles. These filters should be cleaned regularly, depending on usage, typically every 2-4 weeks.
- Removal: Carefully unlatch and remove the aluminum filters from the hood.
- Cleaning: The filters are dishwasher-safe. Alternatively, they can be washed by hand in hot water with a mild detergent. Ensure all grease residue is removed.
- Drying and Reinstallation: Allow the filters to dry completely before reinstalling them into the hood.

6.2 Installing and Replacing Carbon Filters (Recirculation Mode)
If your hood is operating in recirculation mode, carbon filters are essential for removing cooking odors. These filters are not washable and must be replaced periodically, typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage.
- Installation: Attach the carbon filters to the motor housing or filter grids as per the specific design. Ensure they are securely fastened.
- Replacement: When replacing, remove the old carbon filters and dispose of them. Install new carbon filters following the installation steps.

6.3 General Cleaning
Clean the exterior surfaces of the hood regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning pads, which can damage the stainless steel finish.
