Frequently Asked Questions - Mistral Becken

What is the correct installation height for the Becken Mistral cooker hood?

The recommended installation height is 65-75 cm (26-30 inches) above the cooking surface for optimal performance.

How do I clean the grease filter?

The stainless steel filter can be cleaned by hand using hot water and non-corrosive detergent (soak for 2-3 minutes, then brush gently) or placed in a dishwasher at 60°C. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What should I do if the light works but the motor does not?

Can I use the cooker hood without ducting to the outside?

Yes, the hood can be used in recirculation mode with an optional carbon filter that absorbs odors and recirculates air back into the kitchen.
