IKEA Cooker hood · your observations
Listen to the fan; describe the air movement.
Keep lighting, fan-speed response and extraction performance distinct. State whether the hood recirculates or vents outside, where known, without climbing onto the worktop or dismantling it.
The fan runs but the air movement seems weaker
State the normal speed setting and whether the sound also changed. The filter arrangement and existing air route may matter. Do not remove a high-level hood to prepare this description.
A new sound at a particular stage
A buzz at start-up and a scrape during movement are different observations. Note when it begins. Stop using equipment that burns, smokes or moves uncontrollably rather than recording another demonstration.
When the fitted space is tight
Mention the existing furniture front, stack or surrounding units. Access can affect the proposed work, but a householder need not move or disconnect equipment to describe it.
Where another person authorises work
Agree who owns the appliance, approves charges and provides entry. Keep those arrangements with the service address before a visit is discussed.
The IKEA reference
Retain the complete IKEA label and product ending, with the actual appliance type. A badge can cover different or historical products; it does not confirm current production, parts stock or acceptance of all models.
At your South Croydon address
Give the full service postcode and describe the actual fitted access in South Croydon. CR2 is a broad postal reference. This guide does not establish a separate branch, service boundary or agreed attendance.
