Problem Explanation /	Suggestion
Hood operates incorrectly	Turn off the hood with keys and cut off electricity supply for a few seconds by removing the plug or closing the fuse.
Hood does not operate	Is the plug connected to mains outlet? Is the fuse in the household installation burnt off? Did you press the fan keys?
Suction power of the hood is inadequate	Is the correct fan level set? Is the oil filter or carbon filter cleaned in time? Is the air taken from the kitchen compensated with adequate amount of fresh air to prevent vacuuming?
Operating noise increased in the course of time	Have you conformed with the maintenance intervals of the filters; i.e. is any air passage possible?
Illumination is disabled	Is the fuse in the household installation burnt off? Is the lamp faulty? Is the new lamp seated correctly?
Filter saturation indicator flashes or lights up continuously	Refer to “Maintenance and cleaning” section for the oil filter or carbon filter saturation indicator.
