Frequently Asked Questions - CTS9CX CANDY

How do I install the Candy CTS9CX cooker hood?

Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted at the recommended height above the hob (65-75 cm for electric, 65-75 cm for gas) and that the ducting is properly connected for extraction. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

The aluminum grease filter should be cleaned every 2-3 months, or more frequently with heavy use. Wash it by hand with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher at low temperature, and let it dry completely before reinstalling.

Can I use the hood without a carbon filter?

Yes, the hood can be used in extraction mode (ducted to outside) without a carbon filter. The carbon filter is only required for recirculation mode to absorb odors.

What is the maximum noise level?

The noise level at maximum speed is approximately 65 dB(A), which is comparable to normal conversation. Lower speeds are quieter.

How do I replace the carbon filter?

For recirculation mode, replace the carbon filter every 3-6 months. Open the filter cover, remove the old filter, insert a new one (model specific), and close the cover. Ensure the filter is correctly positioned.

What type of lighting does the hood use?

The hood features 2 LED lights with a total power of 3 W. LED lights are energy-efficient and long-lasting; if replacement is needed, contact support for compatible parts.

Can I control the hood remotely?

No, the Candy CTS9CX does not come with remote control. It is operated via electronic push buttons on the front panel.

What should I do if the hood is not extracting properly?

Check if the grease filter is clogged and clean it. Ensure the ducting is not blocked or kinked. Also verify that the carbon filter (if used) is not saturated. If issues persist, contact a technician.

Is the hood suitable for use over a gas hob?

Yes, the hood is suitable for both electric and gas hobs. Ensure the minimum distance from the hob surface is followed (at least 65 cm for gas) to comply with safety regulations.

How do I reset the filter saturation indicator?

After cleaning or replacing the filters, press and hold the reset button (if available) for 3 seconds, or follow the specific procedure in the manual. The indicator light should turn off.
