How to disassemble the motor of the extractor hood for deep cleaning?

Accepted Answer

The manual for the FABER Chloé 70 CG does not provide specific instructions for disassembling the motor. However, here is what you need to know:

Cleaning without disassembling the motor

Grease filters: Clean them every 2 months (or more frequently with heavy use). These metal filters are dishwasher safe.
Exterior cleaning: Use a damp cloth and only a neutral liquid detergent. Turn off the power before any maintenance.

If disassembly of the motor is necessary

Accepted Answer

The activated charcoal filter of your FABER TSP 900 cannot be washed or regenerated - it must be completely replaced.

Question 4

How does the touch panel of the FABER VRT 900 hood work, and can it be opened upwards like other models?

Accepted Answer

The FABER VRT 900 hood is equipped with a fixed touch control panel, which means that this panel does not open upwards like some other models of range hoods.

Here are some important points to know about how the touch panel works:

Fixed panel: The touch panel is integrated and cannot be lifted or opened. All controls are accessible directly by touching the visible icons.
Using the controls: To activate the functions of the hood, simply touch the corresponding symbols on the panel. Make sure your fingers are clean and dry to ensure good touch sensitivity.
Maintenance: Regularly clean the panel with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent dirt or grease from affecting the touch responsiveness.

In summary, the touch panel of the FABER VRT 900 is designed to remain fixed and does not open. Its use relies solely on the direct touch of the displayed controls.

Question 5

Why do the lights on my FABER Arkea 110.0255.506 hood turn on and then immediately off, and how do I replace the light button?

Accepted Answer

If the LEDs of your FABER Arkea 110.0255.506 hood turn on briefly and then immediately off, the most likely cause is a blown or improperly inserted fuse in the lighting unit, or an electrical contact issue at the control panel.

Step one: Check the fuse

Open the lighting unit by pulling firmly on the notch provided for this purpose
Locate the fuse holder situated on the left side of the motor unit
Unscrew the fuse holder and check that the fuse is properly inserted and not burnt out (a broken wire inside indicates a blown fuse)
If it is blown, replace it with a fuse that has the same specifications (check the label on the fuse holder for specifications)
Close the lighting unit and test the lighting by pressing the designated button on the control panel

Step two: Check the lighting buttons

Ensure that the control panel is not damaged and that the light on/off button (marked “Turn On/Off Lights”) is not stuck or defective
Press firmly on the button and hold for a few seconds to ensure it responds correctly

Replacing the LEDs

The LEDs in your hood are special components compliant with the EN 60825-1 standard. You cannot replace them yourself: you must contact FABER customer service or an authorized dealer to obtain a compatible replacement part for your model 110.0255.506 and have it replaced. If the problem persists after checking the fuse and contacts, it is advisable to have a qualified technician intervene.
