Frequently Asked Questions - SOLO SF160A Cylinda

How do I install the Cylinda SOLO SF160A range hood?

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician. Ensure the hood is mounted at least 65 cm above gas cooktops and 50 cm above electric cooktops. Secure the hood to a sturdy cabinet or wall, connect the ductwork (or install carbon filter for recirculation), and connect to a grounded electrical outlet.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

The aluminum grease filter should be cleaned every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage. It can be washed in a dishwasher or by hand with mild detergent. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstalling.

Does the SOLO SF160A require a charcoal filter?

A charcoal filter is only needed if you use the hood in recirculation mode (without ducting to the outside). If ducted externally, no charcoal filter is required.

How do I replace the charcoal filter?

First, remove the grease filter. The charcoal filter is located behind it. Unclip the old filter and clip in a new one. Replace the charcoal filter every 3-6 months, or when cooking odors are no longer effectively removed.

What should I do if the range hood is noisy?

Ensure the hood is properly installed and not vibrating against cabinets. Clean the grease filter as a dirty filter can increase noise. If the noise persists, check the motor or fan for obstructions. Contact service if needed.

Can I use the hood with a ductless (recirculating) setup?

Yes, the SOLO SF160A can be used in recirculation mode. You must install a carbon filter (sold separately) to trap odors. The recirculation kit may include a diverter for the exhaust.

How do I change the LED lights?

The LED lights are built-in and should be replaced by a qualified technician. Contact Cylinda service for replacement parts. Never attempt to replace them yourself unless you are qualified.

What is the maximum extraction rate?

The maximum extraction rate is 520 m³/h (183 ft³/min) at the highest speed setting. This is suitable for medium-sized kitchens.

Is the hood energy efficient?

Yes, the SOLO SF160A has an energy class of A+, which means it consumes minimal electricity while providing effective ventilation. The LED lights also reduce power consumption.

Where can I find spare parts for my SOLO SF160A?

Spare parts such as filters, LED lamps, and motors can be ordered from authorized Cylinda service centers or through the manufacturer's website. Always use genuine parts to maintain safety and performance.
