Wartung
Regelmäßige Wartung gewährleistet optimale Leistung und lange Lebensdauer Ihrer Dunstabzugshaube. Trennen Sie die Dunstabzugshaube vor allen Wartungsarbeiten vom Stromnetz.
Filter-less Self-Cleaning System

Bild: Überview of the Zephyr Cyclone Under-Cabinet range hood highlighting its 3 speed levels, 2 removable safety grilles, and filter-less self-cleaning system.
The centrifugal blower system is designed to work without traditional filters. It pushes air downwards and away from the center, separating cooking vapors and grease. Remaining contaminants are trapped in a residue tray, which drains into residue cups during the cleaning process. This system ensures effective, quiet operation and easy cleanup.
Cleaning Removable Safety Grilles
The hood is equipped with 2 removable safety grilles. These high-quality grilles enhance protection during use and contribute to the overall aesthetic. They can be removed for cleaning to maintain hygiene and airflow efficiency.
- To remove, carefully disengage the grilles according to the diagrams in the full installation guide.
- Clean the grilles with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reinstallation.
Außenreinigung
Clean the stainless steel exterior regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to prevent scratching.
Fehlerbehebung
Wenn bei Ihrer Dunstabzugshaube Probleme auftreten, befolgen Sie die folgenden allgemeinen Schritte zur Fehlerbehebung:
- Kein Strom: Check the circuit breaker or fuse box. Ensure the unit is properly connected to the electrical supply.
- Lüfter außer Betrieb: Verify the fan speed control is not in the '0' position. Check for any obstructions in the blower area.
- Lichter funktionieren nicht: Ensure the light control is not in the '0' position. If individual LEDs are out, they may require replacement by a qualified technician.
- Schlechte Saugleistung: Ensure the ductwork is clear and unobstructed. Check that the hood is installed at the recommended mounting height. Clean the residue tray and cups.
- Übermäßiger Lärm: Check for loose components or obstructions in the blower. Ensure the unit is securely mounted.
Sollten die Probleme durch diese Schritte nicht behoben werden können, wenden Sie sich bitte an den Kundendienst.
