Frequently Asked Questions - FRAMTID HI370 IKEA

How to install the FRAMTID HI370 hood?

Installation must follow the manual: ensure proper venting or recirculation setup, secure the hood to the wall at least 65 cm above the cooktop, and connect the ductwork if ducted.

Can the FRAMTID HI370 be used in recirculation mode?

Yes, you need to purchase a charcoal filter separately and install it. The hood then filters grease and odors before recirculating air back into the kitchen.

How to clean the grease filter?

Remove the aluminum grease filter and wash it in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher at low temperature. Dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

How often should I replace the charcoal filter?

The charcoal filter should be replaced every 3 to 6 months, or more frequently if the hood is used heavily. It cannot be washed.

What type of light bulbs does the hood use?

The FRAMTID HI370 uses built-in LED modules (2 x 3 W). These are not standard bulbs; contact IKEA for replacement.

The hood is noisy. What can I do?

Check that the ductwork is not blocked and that the filters are clean. Also ensure the hood is properly installed and leveled. Noise levels up to 65 dB are normal at maximum speed.

How can I reset the filter cleaning indicator?

After cleaning or replacing filters, press and hold the speed button for about 3 seconds until the indicator light turns off.

What is the minimum distance between the cooktop and the hood?

For electric cooktops, the minimum distance is 65 cm; for gas cooktops, it is 75 cm. Follow local regulations.

How to troubleshoot if the hood does not turn on?

Check the power supply, ensure the plug is connected, and verify the circuit breaker. If it still doesn't work, the motor or electronics may be faulty; contact IKEA support.

Can I use the hood while cooking with a gas stove?

Yes, but ensure the gas burners have no naked flames that could be drawn into the hood. Always supervise cooking and follow safety guidelines.
