Downdraft Extractor will not Retract - Stays Up
Issue
- The downdraft extractor will not retract down from the raised position when pressing the standby button, it remains up and turns off
Resolution
The standby button/sensor (button "A") has two possible functions when the extractor is in the raised position.
Touch button A only briefly and immediately release to de-activate the control panel and motor but remain raised.
Touch button A for at least 3 seconds to retract the extractor to the home position and turn it off.
If mistakenly de-activated in raised position instead of lowered, simply press again and hold for at least 3 seconds to lower.
If unable to retract after selection error, simply disconnect from mains electricity and reconnect after 10 seconds - appliance will retract.
Disconnection from and reconnection to mains electricity can be done via the electrical supply switch or plug.
Cause
- Pressing the standby button (button `A`) too briefly instead of applying light pressure for at least 3 seconds
