Frequently Asked Questions - The Pareo Plus FABER

How to install the Faber The Pareo Plus range hood?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Fix the hood to the wall with suitable plugs, connect the exhaust duct (Ø 150 mm) or use recirculation mode with a charcoal filter. Respect the minimum distances from the cooking surface (gas 65 cm, electric 55 cm).

How to clean the grease filters?

The aluminum grease filters can be washed in the dishwasher at 65°C or by hand with warm soapy water. Let them dry completely before reinstalling. Clean them every month to maintain performance.

How often should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The charcoal filter should be replaced every 3 to 6 months depending on usage. For smokers or heavy cooking, replace it more often. The filter is not washable.

How to replace the LED bulb of the hood?

Turn off and unplug the hood. Open the access panel under the hood. Carefully unclip the defective LED bulb and insert a new bulb of the same specification (2 x 3 W). Replace the panel.

The hood is making noise, is this normal?

Some noise level is normal (max 65 dB). If the noise is abnormal, check that the filters are clean and properly installed, that nothing is blocking the fan, and that the exhaust duct is not obstructed. If it persists, contact customer service.

How to use the touch controls?

Briefly press the touch panel to turn on the hood, then select the desired speed (1-3 + boost). The timer can be activated by holding the button for 3 seconds. Refer to the manual for details.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode without a duct?

Yes, the hood can operate in recirculation mode. A charcoal filter (not supplied) must be installed and the deflector oriented towards the air outlet. The exhaust duct is not necessary.

What to do if the remote control does not work?

Check the remote control batteries and replace them if necessary. Make sure there is no obstacle between the remote and the hood. If the problem persists, reset the remote control according to the manual.

How to activate the timer?

On models with a timer, turn on the hood and select the speed. Press the timer button (or hold it down) to set the time (usually 10 minutes). The hood will turn off automatically.

Where to find spare parts for the The Pareo Plus model?

The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance.

Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.

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 (some models can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the paragraphs on working dimensions and installation).
• 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.

When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with

appliances supplied with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.

In the event of damage to the power cable, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by the technical service department, in order to prevent any risks.

• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance than specified above, this has to be taken into account. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

INSTALLATION

This hood is designed to be mounted on the ceiling or on a shelf, above a free-standing hob (min. 650 mm), in:

• Ducting version: Evacuation to the outside.

Sequence of operations - Installation

• Preparing for installation - Drilling the ceiling/shelf and fixing the support plate - Connections - Fitting the hood body - Functional check - Disposal of packaging

Preparing to fit the plate

• Take the plate and position it the right way round, as shown in the figure. The pawl must face towards the installer.

Ceiling/shelf drilling and plate fixing

CEILING/SHELF DRILLING

• Use a plumb-line and mark the centre of the cooking hob on the Support Ceiling/Shelf.
• Rest the Plate against the Ceiling/Shelf, making sure it is the right way up, as shown in the figure. Mark the centres of the holes in the plate.
• Drill the following points:

- Ceilings in solid concrete: As per concrete plugs used.

- Ceilings in hollow bricks with 20 mm resistance thickness: Drill a hole Ø 10 mm (insert Plugs 11 supplied immediately).

- Ceilings with Wood Beams: As per Wood Screws used (not supplied).

- Wooden shelf, with a resistant thickness of 15 mm; drill a hole Ø 7 mm.

- Feeding the electric supply cable: drill a hole Ø 10 mm.

- Insert two screws, crossing them and leaving 4-5 mm from the ceiling:

• for solid concrete, concrete plugs, not provided. • for hollow bricks with approx. 20 mm resistance thickness, screws 12h, provided. • for wooden beams, wood screws, not provided. • for wooden shelves, screws with washers and nuts, not provided.

FIXING (HOOD CANOPY + INTERMEDIATE HOOD CANOPY)

- Insert the Hood Canopy 1 into the Intermediate Hood Canopy 2.

• Take the upper Hood Canopy Panel 5 and insert it as shown in the figure.

Warning!

The upper Hood Canopy Panel 5 must be inserted first on one side and then on the other, using the rounded edges and taking care not to damage the Cables that have to pass through the slots provided.

- Lower the panel until it rests on the Hood Canopy 1, then fasten it in place with the 4 screws 12c provided.

FIXING THE PLATE

- Lift up the Fixing plate and fit the slots onto the two screws previously inserted in the ceiling, and turn until they are at the centre of the adjustment slot.

Warning: The plate must be facing in the direction shown in the figure

• Tighten the two screws completely and screw in the other two provided; before locking the screws completely it is possible to make adjustments by turning the piece, making sure that the screws do not come out of the adjustment slot.
• The unit must be securely fastened both due to the weight of the Hood and the stress caused by occasional sideways pressure on the Appliance when in position. Once the unit has been fixed, make sure that the plate is stable.
• In all cases where the Ceiling is not sufficiently strong at the point of suspension, the Installation technician must strengthen it with suitable plates and counterplates, anchored to structurally sound elements.
• Check that the plate is level on the ceiling.
• Should it be considered advisable, the hood can be fixed to the wall using 3 more screws and wall plugs.

CONNECTING HOOD-PLATE CABLES

N.B. Before proceeding with installation the Hood must be raised to a height of at least 650 mm above the cooker hob by means of a support or with the assistance of another person.

This operation is essential, as the Hood Cables are to be connected to the Plate mounted on the ceiling, and this must be done without the weight of the Hood bearing down on the structure.

The system used to fix the 4 Cables comprises 3 components:

• Threaded pawl (a) already mounted on the ceiling Plate. • Cable locking screw (b), provided. • Safety knob (c), provided.
• Insert the safety knobs (c) into the respective cables, with the thread to the top.
• Insert the cable locking screws (b) into the respective cables.
• Pay attention to the direction in which the Plate is fixed to the ceiling (the Plate limit pawl has a corresponding hole on the Hood canopy).

Warning: The maximum extension for movement of the Hood must not exceed 645mm.

• Pass the Cables into the slots on the threaded pawls (a) and tighten the cable locking screws (b) into the pawls themselves.

- When the operation has been completed, the result should be as shown in the figure for all 4 cables.

- At this point, all 4 cables are now connected to the Plate.

Tension the Cables by pushing them upwards, so that they slide inside the cable locking screw and out through the slot in the threaded pawl.

This is possible because the cable locking screw involves a system that allows the Cable to slide in one direction only, preventing it from sliding in the other direction.

Make sure that the Cables are all the same length, to facilitate final levelling operations. The left front cable must not be slacker than the others.

LEVELLING THE HOOD

• The hood canopy must be levelled.

- The Hood is levelled by adjusting the safety pawls C.

• Rest a spirit level on the hood.

- Exerting an upwards pressure on the safety knobs "unlocks" movement of the Cable. By inserting or extracting the cable from the cable locking screw it is possible to make adjustments to level the mobile hood canopy.

- Once the hood has been set level, the safety knobs must be tightened.

Warning:

• Make sure that all 4 of the support cables are taut. - Make sure that none of the 4 support cables have been damaged during installation. - Remember that there must be a minimum distance of 650mm between the Hood and the cooker hob and the maximum extension of movement must not exceed 645mm.

FIXING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE

• Take the Power Cable coming from the wiring box and clamp it with the cable clamps 7 first to the right rear cable (A) and then to the left cable (B) as shown in the figure.

• Run the power cable up to the plate on the ceiling.
• Slot the rubber cable raceway already threaded onto the power cable into the slot to prevent future damage.
• Fix it to the bracket on the ceiling plate, using the tongue already fitted.
• Connect the Hood to the Mains Power Supply, inserting a bipolar switch with a contact aperture of at least 3 mm.

Finally, check that the power supply cable is properly locked, checking that when the mobile unit rises up towards the ceiling, it positions itself over the mobile unit and does not come out from the edge of the hood.

Connections

AIR OUTLET - DUCTING VERSION

To install in Ducting Version, connect the hood to the outlet pipe by means of an extending pipe 150.

- Fix the pipe both to the Hood Canopy and to the Flange on the Ceiling plate, using suitable pipe clamps. The materials required to do so are provided.

FIXING (Intermediate Hood Canopy + ceiling mounted Hood Canopy)

• Carry out tests to check that the Hood works (see paragraph on Use).
• From below, insert the ceiling mounted Hood Canopy 3 into the part of the Hood Canopy hanging from the ceiling, making sure the direction is as shown in the figure. • Using the 3 Screws 12b provided, fix the ceiling mounted Hood Canopy 3 to the Plate on the ceiling.
