Frequently Asked Questions - 3BC497GB BALAY

How to install the hood?

Installation must be done by a qualified technician. Ensure the hood is at least 65 cm above electric hob and 75 cm above gas hob. Follow the mounting instructions and electrical safety guidelines.

How to clean the grease filter?

Remove the aluminum grease filter and wash it in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Allow to dry completely before reinserting.

How often should I replace the charcoal filter?

Every 3-6 months depending on usage. The charcoal filter cannot be washed; replace when saturated.

Why is the hood noisy?

Check if the filter is clogged or if the duct is blocked. Ensure the unit is installed correctly. Noise levels increase at higher speeds.

Can I use the hood without ducting?

Yes, in recirculation mode with a charcoal filter. The hood will filter the air and return it to the kitchen.

How to reset the filter indicator?

Press and hold the speed button for 3 seconds until the indicator light turns off. Refer to manual for exact procedure.

What is the recommended suction speed for daily use?

Use low speed for simmering, medium for regular cooking, and high speed for heavy odors or frying.

How to replace the LED bulbs?

Turn off power. Remove the lamp cover and carefully pull out the LED module. Insert a compatible LED module (same specs).

What is the warranty period?

Standard warranty is 2 years for parts and labor. Register your product to extend coverage.

Can I install the hood over a gas hob?

Yes, but maintain a minimum distance of 75 cm between the hob and the lower part of the hood for safety.
