Frequently Asked Questions - FEXT720 FALCON

How to clean the grease filters?

The aluminum grease filters can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with hot water and detergent. Allow them to dry completely before putting them back.

How often should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The activated charcoal filter should be replaced every 3 to 6 months depending on usage. A saturation indicator on the control panel will alert you.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, the hood can operate in recirculation mode with an activated charcoal filter (not supplied). It sucks in and filters the air before returning it to the room.

What is the noise level of the hood?

The maximum noise level is 55 dB, which is equivalent to a normal conversation. It varies depending on the selected speed.

How to install the hood?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. The hood is designed to be wall-mounted with an exhaust duct or in recirculation mode. Observe the safety distances from the cooktop.

Is the hood supplied with a remote control?

Some models include an infrared remote control, check the packaging. The touch panel controls remain accessible.

What diameter of exhaust duct is recommended?

A duct of 150 mm or 120 mm diameter is recommended to optimize airflow. Use rigid and smooth ducts to reduce losses.

How to reset the filter saturation indicator?

After cleaning or replacing the filters, press and hold the 'Filter' button for 3 seconds until the indicator light goes out.

Is the hood suitable for an induction cooktop?

Yes, the hood is suitable for all types of cooktops, including induction. Ensure you respect the minimum installation height (65 cm above electric hobs).

MAINTENANCE 17

INSTALLATION

• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
• The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the extractor hood is 650 mm.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing.

Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.

• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening communicating directly with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of clean air.

USE

• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
• Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
• Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
• Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flames.
• The hood should not be used by children or persons not instructed in its correct use.

MAINTENANCE

• Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
• Clean and/or replace the Filters after the specified time period.
• Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.
