When it may not be suitable

How to use

To operate the hood, use the touch control panel to select the desired extraction speed based on your cooking intensity.

The integrated LED lights can be toggled independently to provide task lighting for your stovetop.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure there is adequate space for the internal ducting if using the extraction mode
• Check if your kitchen layout supports the built-in installation style

Usage recommendations: Regularly clean the grease filters to maintain optimal airflow and efficiency. If using the charcoal filter, ensure it is replaced according to the manufacturer's guidelines to keep the air purification performance at its peak.
