3. Setup and Installation

The Klarstein Velaire range hood offers two installation possibilities: extraction mode and recirculation mode.

3.1. Extraction Mode

In extraction mode, the included grease filters collect grease, and the air is expelled outside through an external wall duct. This mode requires a connection to an external ventilation system.

3.2. Recirculation Mode

In recirculation mode, activated carbon filters (included) purify the air, which is then returned clean and fresh into the kitchen. This mode is suitable when external venting is not possible.

3.3. Package Contents and Dimensions

Before installation, ensure all components are present and check the dimensions for proper fitting.

5.2. Replacing Carbon Filters (Recirculation Mode)

5.3. Cleaning Exterior Surfaces

Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your range hood, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Check if the appliance is properly plugged in and if the circuit breaker has tripped.
• Low Suction Power: Ensure grease filters are clean and not clogged. In recirculation mode, check if carbon filters need replacement. Verify that the exhaust duct (if applicable) is not obstructed.
• Excessive Noise: Check for loose parts or improper installation. Ensure the fan blades are clean and free from obstructions.
• Lights Not Working: Check if the LED lights are properly connected. If individual LEDs are replaceable, consult a qualified technician.
• Odors Not Removed: In recirculation mode, replace the active carbon filters. In extraction mode, ensure the external ducting is clear and properly sealed.

If the problem persists after performing these checks, please contact customer support.
