How to use

Install the Gorenje WHI949EXBG on a suitable wall above the cooking surface following the manufacturer’s mounting instructions and local building regulations. Choose ducted installation if you can route exhaust to the outside for higher efficiency, or set up recirculating mode with carbon filters (if available) where external ducting is not possible. Switch the hood on before you start cooking and select the appropriate fan speed according to the intensity of cooking fumes. Use the LED light to illuminate the worktop while monitoring ventilation settings to maintain comfortable air quality.

Recommendations

Clean or wash the aluminium grease filter regularly according to the service intervals in the manual to maintain extraction efficiency. For best performance, run the hood for a few minutes after cooking to clear residual odours and moisture. If using recirculating mode, replace or service any activated carbon filters as recommended. Periodically wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a non-abrasive cloth and appropriate cleaner to preserve finish and hygiene.
