The CSA1201 is the Cafe version of the above-the-cooktop Advantium, so it carries the cooking faults of an Advantium and the ventilation faults of a range hood at the same time. Weak extraction is often just loaded grease filters, which an owner can wash or replace.
Cooking faults are a different matter. Speedcook depends on halogen lamps and their control circuit, and reaching either means opening a cabinet that holds a high-voltage capacitor. Leave that to a technician; DIY work in there is both dangerous and a risk to warranty coverage.
