Frequently Asked Questions - KS Lux Foster

How do I install the Foster KS Lux range hood?

Installation must be done by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted at the recommended height above the cooking surface (typically 65-75 cm for electric hobs, 75-85 cm for gas). The exhaust duct should have an internal diameter of at least 120 mm. Refer to the user manual for detailed steps.

How do I clean the grease filters?

The stainless steel grease filters can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with warm soapy water. Allow them to dry completely before reinserting. Clean them at least once a month or more frequently with heavy use.

When should I replace the carbon filter?

If using the hood in recirculation mode, the optional carbon filter should be replaced every 3-6 months depending on usage. Model number 9700 528 is the recommended carbon filter.

What is the noise level of this range hood?

Noise level is not explicitly stated in the manual, but typical wall-mounted hoods with similar specifications range from 40 to 60 dB depending on speed. The intensive speed may be louder.

Can I use the hood without ducting outdoors?

Yes, the hood can be used in recirculation mode by installing optional carbon filters (model 9700 528). In this mode, the air is filtered and returned to the kitchen.

How do I replace the LED lighting?

LED lights are integrated and should be replaced by a qualified technician. If the light fails, contact Foster customer service for assistance.

What is the energy class of the Foster KS Lux?

The hood is rated energy class A, indicating high energy efficiency.

In aspirating mode, the chimney height adjusts from 630 mm to 1050 mm. In filtering mode, it adjusts from 700 mm to 1120 mm.

Is the hood suitable for use over a gas stove?

Yes, it is suitable. Ensure the installation height is at least 75-85 cm above gas burners to comply with safety regulations. The hood is designed for both electric and gas hobs.

How do I use the intensive speed function?

The intensive speed is a timed boost that operates for about 10 minutes before automatically returning to the previous speed. Press the intensive button (usually marked with a symbol) to activate it. This is useful for quickly removing strong odors or steam.
