What does a steady LED light mean on a Faber cooker hood?

A steady LED light on a Faber cooker hood indicates that the metal grease filters need cleaning. This alarm activates after approximately 100 hours of operation. Remove the filters and wash them by hand or in the dishwasher, then reset the alarm by pressing and holding the reset button for 3-4 seconds until the LEDs flash three times.

Why is my Faber cooker hood not extracting properly?

Reduced extraction on a Faber cooker hood is usually caused by clogged filters, blocked ducting, or stuck damper flaps. Clean the grease filters thoroughly, replace charcoal filters for recirculation hoods, check the exterior vent for blockages, and ensure ducting is not kinked. If suction remains weak, contact a qualified technician.

Why is my Faber cooker hood making excessive noise or vibrating?

Excessive noise or vibration from a Faber cooker hood is commonly caused by incorrect installation, undersized ducting, or a loose mounting. Verify the hood is securely fixed and that ducting maintains the recommended diameter throughout the entire run without kinks or restrictions. Dirty filters can also increase noise levels. If vibrations persist after checking installation, contact a qualified technician as the motor or impeller may require inspection.

What does a flashing LED light mean on a Faber cooker hood?

A flashing LED light on a Faber cooker hood signals that the activated charcoal filter needs replacing. This alarm appears after approximately 200 hours of operation in recirculation mode. Replace the charcoal filter with a genuine Faber replacement and clean the grease filters, then reset the alarm according to your model's instructions.

Why are all LED buttons flashing twice on my Faber cooker hood?

When all LED buttons flash twice simultaneously on a Faber cooker hood, it indicates that the control lock mode has been activated or deactivated. This safety feature prevents accidental changes to hood settings during cleaning. To toggle the lock, press and hold the designated button according to your model's instructions. This is a confirmation signal, not an error.

Are charcoal filters included with Faber cooker hoods?

Charcoal filters are not supplied as standard with most Faber cooker hoods because many models can be either ducted or recirculated. If you plan to use your hood in recirculation mode, you will need to purchase charcoal filters separately.

What noise level should I expect from a Faber cooker hood?

A comfortable cooker hood should not exceed 55 dB(A) at maximum speed during normal operation. Faber hoods are designed to minimise noise through optimised internal airflow and components. Models with brushless motors and the Eco function can operate below 40 dB(A) for continuous air circulation.

What is the difference between ducted and recirculating Faber cooker hoods?

Ducted hoods expel cooking fumes directly outside through external venting, offering superior odour removal and quieter operation. Recirculating hoods filter the air through charcoal filters and return it to the kitchen, offering flexibility as they can be installed anywhere without external ducting.

What type of battery does the Faber cooker hood remote control use?

Faber cooker hood remote controls use a CR2032 coin cell battery. When replacing the battery, ensure the new battery is installed with the correct polarity (+ and -).

When should I turn on my Faber cooker hood?

Turn on your cooker hood at least one minute before you start cooking. This allows proper air circulation to be established before cooking vapours and odours are produced.
