Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Smeg KATE900EX can be installed as either a ducted or recirculating hood. For ducted installation, ensure you have the appropriate ducting and an external vent. For recirculating, install the charcoal filters (if not already fitted).
- Carefully mount the hood to the wall following the provided instructions.
- Connect the ducting (if ducted) or install the charcoal filters (if recirculating).
- Connect the power supply.
Compatibility
This cooker hood is compatible with most standard kitchen setups. Ensure there is enough space and that the mounting surface can support the hood's weight. It is designed to be mounted above a cooktop, with a minimum distance of 50 cm from an electric hob and 65 cm from a gas hob.
Care
- Cleaning the Filters: The aluminium grease filters are washable. Remove them and clean them by hand with soapy water or in a dishwasher.
- Wiping the Surface: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the stainless steel surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Replacing Charcoal Filters: If using the recirculating mode, replace the charcoal filters as needed (every 3-6 months), depending on usage.
