Frequently Asked Questions - HA-260WH Star-Light

How do I install the Star-Light HA-260WH range hood?

Installation must be performed by a qualified technician. Ensure the hood is mounted at least 65 cm above electric cooktops or 75 cm above gas cooktops. Secure the hood to the wall using the provided mounting bracket and screws. Connect the ducting to the exhaust outlet (diameter 150 mm). Finally, connect the power supply to a properly grounded outlet.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

Clean the aluminum mesh filter every month under normal use. Remove it by pressing the latch, wash with warm soapy water or in a dishwasher, and let it dry completely before reinstalling. A clogged filter reduces suction and increases noise.

Do I need a carbon filter for recirculation mode?

Yes, if you wish to use the hood in recirculation mode (without external ducting), you must install a carbon filter (sold separately). The carbon filter should be replaced every 3-6 months depending on usage.

What is the correct duct size and material?

Use rigid or flexible duct with a diameter of 150 mm. Avoid sharp bends to maintain maximum airflow. The duct should be as short as possible and made of non-flammable material.

How do I change the LED light?

The LED light is built-in and should be replaced by a qualified technician. Do not attempt to open the light assembly yourself. Contact customer support for assistance.

Why is my range hood making excessive noise?

Excessive noise can be due to a clogged grease filter, loose installation, or unbalanced fan. First, clean or replace the filter. Ensure the hood is securely mounted. If noise persists, contact service.

How do I reset the filter alarm?

After cleaning the grease filter or replacing the carbon filter, press and hold the speed button for 3-5 seconds until the indicator light turns off. This resets the maintenance reminder.

Can I operate the hood without ducting?

Yes, in recirculation mode, the hood filters air through a carbon filter and releases it back into the kitchen. You must install the carbon filter and ensure the optional recirculation kit is used.

What maintenance does the hood require?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the grease filter monthly, replacing carbon filter (if used) every 3-6 months, wiping the exterior with a damp cloth, and checking the duct for obstructions annually.

How can I contact Star-Light customer support?

For support, refer to the contact information in the user manual or visit the Star-Light website. Have your model number (HA-260WH) and proof of purchase ready for faster service.
