What our Experts Think
-
Accessory for Faber Zoom island system: The Faber VANILLA-SH glass shade is not a standalone hood—it is a decorative lighting shade designed specifically for the Faber Zoom up/down island range hood system, adding both style and lighting diffusion.
-
Signature soft white glass design: The “Vanilla” version uses an opaque white glass canopy with subtle wave texture, creating a soft, ambient glow that enhances luxury kitchen aesthetics.

-
Enhances lighting performance: Works with the Zoom system’s integrated LEDs, helping diffuse light evenly over the cooktop area for better visibility and a premium atmosphere.
-
Premium design flexibility: Users can choose between glass (Vanilla) or stainless steel (Oceana) shade options, allowing customization of the kitchen’s visual style.

Maintenance Tips
-
Clean glass shade weekly using a soft microfiber cloth and mild glass cleaner to maintain clarity and prevent grease haze or streaks.
-
Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals—the textured white glass finish can scratch or dull easily.
-
Wipe stainless mounting parts monthly with a non-abrasive stainless cleaner, always following the grain.
-
Check for grease buildup around the Zoom unit connection point and gently clean to keep the shade looking bright and uniform.
-
Ensure LED lighting area stays dust-free so light diffusion through the glass remains even and bright.
-
Handle carefully during removal/installation to avoid stress on glass edges or mounting hardware.
-
Clean after heavy cooking sessions (fried or oily foods) to prevent long-term staining on the glass surface.
-
Inspect fit and alignment periodically to ensure the shade sits securely on the Zoom system and maintains proper balance.
