How often should I clean the grease filters?

Under normal usage, clean the aluminium grease filters every two months. For intensive use, clean more frequently. They can be washed in a dishwasher or soaked in warm water with washing-up liquid.

Can I wash the blower and impeller?

Yes, the blower and impeller can be cleaned with warm water and washing-up liquid or in a dishwasher. Always disconnect the power before removing the bottom plate for cleaning.

How do I replace the LED lighting?

The LED lighting (6.5 W) must be replaced by a qualified professional using an equivalent special light fixture from the manufacturer. To remove, press the snap retainers from the sides and pull the light fixture straight down.

What should I do if the hood is not working?

Check the fuse, disconnect and reconnect the power, and verify the connector is not bent. If the issue persists, contact Franke Service with the FUN number, S/N, and manufacturing date from the product label.

Can I use the hood without ducting?

The product is designed for exhaust air diversion (ducting). It must be installed according to local regulations. The room must have adequate air supply if used simultaneously with combustion appliances.

Is it safe to flambé food under the hood?

No, you must never flambé food underneath the product as it poses a fire risk.

How do I adjust the air flow speeds?

Air flow for ventilation mode and speeds 1 and 2 can be adjusted by moving cables on the transformer. This must be done by a qualified professional. Contact Franke Service for assistance.

B. Lighting.

It is a good idea to turn on the fan before starting to cook, as this prevents cooking smells spreading into the room. Adjust the speed of the fan depending on the type of food you are preparing. If possible, allow the fan to run at a low speed for a few minutes after you've finished cooking. You may also wish to run the fan on the low setting when the oven is in use or after using the dishwasher.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Attention!

In order to ensure operation, quality and safety after servicing and maintenance, use only original parts.

Cleaning the filter

The cooker hood should be cleaned with a damp cloth and washing-up liquid. With normal usage, the filters must be cleaned at least every other month. Clean more often after intensive use.
