Solution
Check that: The hood is
connected to the electricity supply.
Check that a fan speed has been
selected
Check that: The fan speed is set
high enough for the task.
The grease filters are clean.
The kitchen is adequately vented to
allow the entry of fresh air.
If set up for recirculation, check
that the charcoal filter is still
effective.
If set up for extraction, check that
the ducting and outlets are not
blocked.
The safety cut-out device has been
tripped.
Turn off the hob and then wait for
the device to reset.
If the hood has been installed
below the heights indicated in the
installation instructions the motor
will cut-out frequently which will
damage the hood.
