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 are the control panel buttons not responding on my Faber cooker hood?

Control panel buttons not responding on a Faber cooker hood may be caused by grease buildup, loose cable connections, or a faulty control board.

What cleaning products should I avoid using on my Faber cooker hood?

Avoid using alcohol-based or silicone-based products to clean the inside or outside of your cooker hood, as these can damage the finish. Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or products containing chlorine. Use only mild soap with a soft cloth or sponge.

What is K-Link technology on Faber cooker hoods?

K-Link is Faber's wireless technology that connects compatible Faber induction hobs and cooker hoods using radio signals. When enabled, the hood automatically adjusts its extraction power based on the cooking intensity of the hob, optimising performance without manual adjustment while reducing energy waste and unnecessary noise.

Why is my Faber cooker hood not extracting air properly?

Poor extraction is most commonly caused by dirty or clogged filters. Remove and clean the metal grease filters and, for recirculating hoods, replace the charcoal filters if they have not been changed recently. Also check that any external ducting is not blocked or kinked.

What types of charcoal filters are available for Faber cooker hoods?

Faber offers several types of charcoal filters for recirculating hoods: standard activated carbon filters (replace every 3-4 months), high-performance activated carbon filters (replace every 6 months), and Long Lasting filters (wash in the dishwasher every 3-4 months, lasting up to 3 years). Check your model's specifications for compatible filter types.

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.
