Question 1

Do I need to use a charcoal filter with my LAGAN hood in recirculation mode?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the charcoal filter is mandatory in recirculation mode. When the LAGAN hood operates in recirculation, the air is filtered through one or more charcoal filters and then released back into the room. Without this filter, the appliance cannot function properly in recirculation.

Important: The charcoal filter is not always included with the hood. If you do not have it, you must order it separately from IKEA before using your hood in recirculation mode.

Charcoal Filter Maintenance

Your filter should be cleaned and regenerated regularly:

Frequency: Every 3 to 4 months, with a maximum of 8 regeneration cycles possible
Washing: In the dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 70°C without detergent, or by hand in hot water without abrasive sponges
Drying: In the oven at a maximum temperature of 70°C for 2 hours, or at room temperature in a vertical position

To install or replace the filter, turn the central handle counterclockwise to unlock the slots, then proceed with the installation by reversing this operation.

Question 7

Why is the on/off button blinking?

Accepted Answer

The blinking of the A button is an alarm system indicating that filter maintenance is required:

A button blinks once per second = The grease filter must be cleaned
A button blinks twice per second = The carbon filter must be cleaned or regenerated

How to reset the alarm?

Once the filter is cleaned:

For the grease alarm: Press the A button for about 2 seconds (motor and lighting off)
For the carbon alarm: Press the B button for about 2 seconds (motor and lighting off)

The validation LED blinks two or three times to confirm the reset.

Question 8

The hood does not start while all the indicators light up

Accepted Answer

This symptom (indicators lit but motor inactive) generally indicates a power supply or electrical connection problem, despite a detected voltage.

Recommended troubleshooting:

Check the power connection - Ensure that the power cable is properly plugged into a functioning outlet. Test the outlet with another device to confirm that it is supplying power.
Check for filter obstruction - A heavily clogged grease filter can block the motor's operation for safety reasons. Refer to the maintenance section of the manual: the grease filter should be cleaned every 2 months and is dishwasher compatible. Cleaning may restore operation.
Press the button A (Speed 1) - This button “starts/stops the motor at speed one.” Make sure you are pressing it correctly to start the motor.
Check the mains voltage - The rating plate of your FINSMAKARE 303.921.91 indicates the required voltage (usually 230V for European models). Confirm that your electrical installation matches.

If after these checks the motor remains inactive while the indicators light up, an internal electrical fault may be the cause. Contact IKEA support or an authorized technician for a thorough diagnosis.
