TROUBLE SHOOTING
Before you assume the worst, check this simple fault-nding guide to get to the root of the
problem:
Lamps fail to operate?
• A replacement is probably necessary, but rst check that the lamp is correctly tted into its holder.
Remember that the light bulbs are not covered by our guarantee. Remember to disconnect the
mains electricity supply before replacing the lamps. Do not touch the lamps with ngers - use a
suitable cloth.
Motor is on but fan does not seem to be as ecient as usual?
• Check the grease lter. If it has not been cleaned recently, it might be clogged with grease. If this
lter is relatively clean, check carbon lters (if tted). If they have not been replaced for more than
six months, remove and insert new ones. As time goes by, accumulated grease tends to stie the
carbon lters in just the same way as the grease lter, thereby reducing the eciency of both the
fan and the lter itself.
Works normally but cooking smells linger?
• If you’re using the unit in recirculating mode, change the charcoal lter. It may require
replacement.
Appliance does not work at all?
• Check your extractor is switched on at the mains. Next, check there is power to your home by
switching on adjacent lights etc.
Still not working? Call the service
• If, having consulted the above diagnostics and you are still unable to remedy the situation, please
call the service number on the rear cover of this manual.
