What is a charcoal filter and do I need one?
All range hoods have a grease filter but if you are using your range
hood in recirculation mode, then a charcoal filter must be fitted in
addition to the grease filter.
Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT: If your range hood appears not to be operating
properly, before contacting an Authorised Service Agent, please
refer to the checklist below.
My range hood will not start.
o Check that the hood is connected to the electricity supply
o Check that the fan speed control is set correctly.
My range hood is not working effectively.
o The fan speed is not set high enough
o The grease filters are dirty and require cleaning.
o The kitchen is not well ventilated enough.
o If the hood is set up for recirculation mode, check that the
carbon filters do not need replacing.
o If the hood is set up for extraction mode, check that the ducting
hose and discharge outlet are not blocked.
My range hood has switched off during operation.
o The safety cut-out device has been tripped.
o Turn off the hob and then wait for the safety cut-out device to
reset.
o IMPORTANT: If you have installed your range hood too low, the
safety cut-out device will frequently trip. Your range hood may
become damaged if the safety cut-out device is tripped
frequently.
