To clean the hood, first ensure it is turned off and disconnected from power. Use a soft cloth with warm soapy water for the exterior. For the filters, remove them and soak in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly before reinstalling. Regular cleaning prevents buildup and maintains optimal performance.
Check if the bulbs are securely fitted and not burnt out. Replace any faulty bulbs. If the issue persists, check the electrical connections or consult a technician as there might be an internal wiring issue.
Unusual noises might be due to debris in the fan blades or loose parts. Turn off the hood and inspect for any visible obstructions or loose components. Tighten any loose screws and clean the fan blades. If noises continue, contact a professional.
Possible reasons include clogged filters, incorrect installation, or blocked ductwork. Check and clean the filters, ensure that the hood is installed at the correct height, and inspect the ductwork for blockages.
To replace the carbon filters, first remove the metal grease filters. The carbon filters are located behind them. Remove the old carbon filters and replace with new ones. Reattach the metal grease filters after replacement.
For optimal performance, clean the grease filters every month and replace carbon filters every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage frequency.
While it's possible to install the hood yourself if you have the necessary skills and tools, it's recommended to hire a professional to ensure proper installation, especially concerning electrical connections and ductwork.
To reset the filter saturation indicator, refer to the user manual for the specific button sequence as it may vary. Usually, it involves pressing a combination of buttons on the control panel for a few seconds.
Ensure the hood is properly connected to the power supply and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Check for any blown fuses. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician for further diagnosis.
Some condensation is normal due to temperature differences. To minimize this, ensure the room is well-ventilated and the hood is operating on an appropriate setting to match the cooking intensity.
