we are satisfied with the kitchen, but the LAGAN range hood cannot capture the rising steam. I’m really frustrated. I even recorded a video of it. What do you think? It doesn’t seem to be working properly, right?

1. You shouldn’t turn on a range hood only when the water starts boiling. A good rule of thumb is: pot on the stove = hood on, so an air column can first build up. This applies to both ducted and recirculating modes.
2. Range hoods come with different capacities—did you perhaps buy one that’s too weak?
3. Boiling water in an uncovered pot = highest fan setting; with a lid = second highest. More steam is produced without a lid, which requires more hood power.
4. Is the hood properly set for exhaust or recirculation at the motor’s air outlet? Based on the design, it should be possible to switch between exhaust and recirculation inside the unit.
5. After cooking, keep the hood running for another 10 minutes. The filter, internal parts, and air ducts will thank you.
Just a tip: keeping the lid on the pot also makes cooking with induction faster and saves electricity costs. 😉
PS: Why didn’t I watch the video all the way through? Well, I’m an amateur photographer and have made videos myself, but your video is more like documentation, not for a contest or a family screening.

4. Is the hood correctly set to exhaust or recirculation air mode from the motor's air outlet? Based on the design, it should be a hood where you can switch between exhaust and recirculation inside. One more follow-up question: Have you ever checked if air is being blown out at the top?
