Frequently Asked Questions
Hobs
Q: Difference between an induction hob and Hi-Light hob?
A: Induction hobs use electromagnetic induction. They generate a magnetic field, creating heat-generating eddy currents directly within the magnetic base of the pot.
Hi-Light hobs use infrared radiation. An internal heating element converts electricity into infrared heat, warming the ceramic surface, which then transfers the heat to the pan through conduction.
Q: Why does the induction hob stop heating during normal operation?
A: To prevent overflowing, the Overflow safety function will automatically activate and control the temperature.
Ovens
Q: What should not be heated in a microwave?
A: Shelled food (e.g., eggs, chestnuts), or containers with stoppers. The steam building up inside the shell/container creates immense pressure that causes it to explode violently.
Hoods
C903ASS-1
Q: What should I do if the hood makes unusual noise or vibration?
A: Check that the installation is secure and ducting is not obstructed. If noise persists, contact an authorized service technician.
Q: What should I avoid doing under the cooker hood?
A: Do not flambé, leave naked flames, or leave frying pans unattended. Overheated fats or oils may catch fire, and flames can damage the hood.
CI968ES-1
Q: Why does the hood continue running after I switch it off?
A: This is normal. The hood’s fan may continue briefly to clear residual smoke and protect the motor. It will stop automatically.
Q: Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?
A: Yes. For recirculation, install the optional charcoal filter. Replace the charcoal filter periodically to maintain performance.
C9035EB-2
Q: What is the electric heat auto‑clean function?
A: This feature uses built‑in heating to dissolve accumulated oil inside the hood, reducing manual cleaning and maintaining suction efficiency. Activate it periodically as recommended in the manual.
Q: How do I use the motion sensor control?
A: The C9035EB‑2 supports gesture control. Simply wave your hand in front of the sensor to switch the hood on or off, or to adjust fan speed. This avoids touching the panel with greasy hands during cooking.
C1803ASS
Q: What is the electric degreasing function?
A: This feature uses heat to dissolve accumulated oil inside the hood, reducing manual cleaning and maintaining suction efficiency. Activate it periodically as recommended in the manual.
Q: Can I use induction control or manual sensor switch?
A: Yes. The C1803ASS supports induction control and manual sensor switching, allowing you to operate the hood hands‑free or via touch panel.
C7008EB‑2
Q: Can I use the hood without grease filters?
A: No. The hood must never be operated without grease filters or with excessively greasy filters, as this creates a fire hazard and reduces efficiency.
Q: How do I clean and maintain the hood?
A: Remove grease filters and wash them regularly with warm water and mild detergent. They are dishwasher‑safe. Replace charcoal filters periodically if using recirculation mode. Never use abrasive cleaners.
CL938ES-1
Q: What should I do if suction seems weak?
A: Check that the filters are clean and properly installed. Ensure ducting has no sharp bends or obstructions. If using recirculation mode, replace the carbon filter when saturated.
Q: How do I clean the aluminum grease filters?
A: Remove the washable aluminum filters and clean them regularly with warm water and mild detergent. They are dishwasher‑safe. Ensure they are completely dry before reinstalling.
T900GT
Q: Can I adjust the telescopic panel while the hood is running?
A: Yes. You can slide the panel in or out during operation. Pulling it out increases the extraction area, while pushing it back reduces airflow.
Q: How often should I replace the charcoal filter in recirculation mode?
A: Replace the charcoal filter every 3–6 months depending on cooking frequency. A saturated filter reduces suction efficiency.
T600GT
Q: How do I operate the telescopic design?
A: Pull out the telescopic front panel to activate the hood. Push it back when not in use to save space and maintain a sleek kitchen look.
Q: How powerful is the suction on the T600GT hood?
A: The hood delivers up to 1000 m³/hr airflow, making it suitable for heavy cooking environments.
T90ES
Q: How do I operate the push‑button controls?
A: The T90ES uses simple push‑button switches for fan speeds and lighting. Press the relevant button to select low, medium, or high speed, and another to activate the integrated light.
Q: What should I check if the hood does not start?
A: Confirm that the telescopic panel is fully extended, the power supply is connected, and the fuse has not tripped. If the hood still does not start, contact service support.
T60ES
Q: Why does the hood produce condensation during cooking?
A: Condensation may occur when cooking with high humidity. This is normal. Wipe the surfaces dry after use to prevent streaks or water marks.
Q: Can the T60ES be installed in ducting or recirculation mode?
A: Yes. The hood supports both ducting (venting outdoors) and recirculation (using optional carbon filters). For recirculation, install the carbon filter and replace it periodically.
