Frequently Asked Questions - S4000 120 Foster

What is the width of the Foster S4000 120 range hood?

The Foster S4000 120 has a width of 120 cm, designed to fit over standard large cooktops.

Can this hood be used in recirculation mode without ducting?

Yes, the S4000 120 supports both ducting (external exhaust) and recirculation modes. For recirculation, you need to install an optional carbon filter (not included).

How do I clean the grease filter?

The metal grease filter is washable. Remove it and clean it monthly with warm water and mild detergent, or in a dishwasher at low temperature. Dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

What is the extraction rate and noise level?

The maximum extraction rate is 800 m³/h, and the maximum noise level is 65 dB(A) at highest speed. Lower speeds are quieter.

How do I replace the LED lights?

The hood has 2 LED bulbs (3 W each). To replace them, switch off power, remove the lamp cover, and pull out the old LED module. Insert a new one (Foster spare part) and secure the cover.

What type of ducting is required for external exhaust?

Use a 150 mm diameter rigid or flexible duct. Keep the duct as short and straight as possible to maximize airflow.

Does the hood have a timer or auto shut-off?

Some models include an automatic shut-off timer that turns off the hood after a preset time (e.g., 15 minutes). Check your control panel for a timer button.

How often should I replace the carbon filter?

If using recirculation mode, replace the carbon filter every 3-6 months depending on usage. A clogged filter reduces efficiency and increases noise.

Can I install the hood myself?

Installation requires wall mounting and electrical connection. It is recommended to hire a qualified professional, especially for ducting work. Ensure the hood is level and securely fixed.

What safety features does the Foster S4000 120 have?

The hood includes thermal overload protection that shuts off the motor if it overheats. Some versions also have automatic shut-off to prevent accidental operation.
