Frequently Asked Questions - FPJ 625 V WH/SS FRANKE

How to install the FPJ 625 V WH/SS hood?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Respect safety distances: minimum 65 cm between the hood and an electric hob, 75 cm for a gas hob. Securely fix the hood to the wall or under a cabinet.

How to clean the grease filters?

The aluminum grease filters are dishwasher safe or can be hand washed with dish soap. Let them dry completely before reinstalling. Cleaning every 2 months is recommended.

How to use the hood in recirculation mode?

For recirculation mode, you must install an active charcoal filter (not supplied). This filter is placed behind the grease filter. Change it every 6 to 12 months depending on use.

Why is my hood making noise?

Abnormal noise may be caused by a clogged filter, excessive suction, or incorrect mounting. Clean the filters and reduce the speed. If the noise persists, contact customer service.

How to change the LED bulb?

The integrated LED bulbs are designed to last a long time. In case of failure, call a Franke approved technician. Do not attempt to replace them yourself.

What is the power consumption of the hood?

Total power is about 200 W for the motor, plus 3 W for lighting. In normal use, annual consumption is about 40 kWh.

Can the hood be used without external evacuation?

Yes, in recirculation mode with a charcoal filter. The air is filtered then returned to the kitchen. Performance is slightly lower than extraction mode.

How to adjust the suction speed?

Use the push buttons on the front: low position for standby, medium for normal cooking, high for strong steam or odors. An indicator light shows the speed.

Where to find spare parts?

Contact Franke after-sales service or visit the official website. Grease and charcoal filters are available from authorized retailers.

What to do in case of sudden breakdown?

First check the power supply and fuse. If the hood does not turn on, unplug it and wait 5 minutes. If the problem persists, call an approved repairer.

For your own safety and to ensure proper operation of the appliance, please read this manual carefully before installation and operation. Keep these instructions together with the appliance, even if it is sold or transferred to third parties. It is important that users know all the appliance's operating and safety characteristics.

The cables must be connected by a trained technician.

• The manufacturer shall not be considered responsible for any injury or damage caused by improper installation or use.
• The minimum safety distance between the hob and the suction hood is 650 mm (some models may be fitted at a lower height; please see the paragraph relating to working dimensions and installation).
• If the instructions for installation of the gas hob specify a distance greater than the one indicated, this must be taken into account.
• Check that the mains power supply corresponds to the one indicated on the data plate affixed inside the hood.
• The cut-out devices must be installed in the fixed system according to wiring system regulations.
• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply is adequately earthed.
• Connect the hood to the flue using a pipe with a minimum diameter of 120 mm. The fumes must travel the shortest distance possible.
• All the air venting regulations must be complied with.
• Do not connect the ducting hood to flues that also carry combustion fumes (e.g. boilers, chimneys, etc.).
• If the hood is used in combination with non electric appliances (e.g. gas appliances), a sufficient level of ventilation must be guaranteed in the room to prevent any exhaust backflow. If the kitchen hood is used in combination with appliances that are not electrically powered, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar to avoid any risk of the fumes being sucked back into the room by the hood.
• The air must not be extracted through a flue that is also used as an exhaust flue for fumes from gas or other fuel powered combustion devices.
• If it is damaged, the power cable must be replaced by the manufacturer or by a service technician.
• Connect the plug to a socket that complies with current regulations and is in an accessible position.

- As regards the technical and safety measures to be taken for exhausting fumes, it is important that the regulations set by local authorities be complied with scrupulously.

CAUTION: remove the protective films before installing the hood.

- Only use screws and hardware of a sort suitable for the hood.

CAUTION: failure to install the screws or fixing devices as described in these instructions may mean there is a risk of electric shocks.
