TROUBLE SHOOTING
Before you assume the worst, check this simple fault-finding guide to get to the root of the
problem
:
Lamps fail to operate?
•
A replacement is probably necessary, but first check that the lamp is correctly fitted 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 fingers - use a
suitable cloth.
Motor is on but fan does not seem to be as efficient as usual?
•
Check the grease filter. If it has not been cleaned recently, it might be clogged with grease. If this
filter is relatively clean, check carbon filters (if fitted). If they have not been replaced for more than
six months, remove and insert new ones. As time goes by, accumulated grease tends to stifle the
carbon filters in just the same way as the grease filter, thereby reducing the efficiency of both the
fan and the filter itself.
Works normally but cooking smells linger?
•
If you’re using the unit in recirculating mode, change the charcoal filter. 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.
