Why are all LEDs flashing three times on my Faber cooker hood?

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.

If vibrations persist after checking installation, contact a qualified technician as the motor or impeller may require inspection.

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.

Is grease on the filters a fire hazard?

Grease deposited on filters is inflammable, which is why regular maintenance is essential. Clean or replace filters according to the recommended schedule based on approximately 3 hours of daily use. Never allow excessive grease to accumulate on the filters.

Why is my Faber cooker hood noisy?

Noise is generated by the airflow passing through the grease filters during operation.

Clean or replace filters regularly and ensure ducting is the correct diameter throughout the entire run.
