Frequently Asked Questions - STEELMAX FABER

What is the minimum installation height above a gas stove?

The minimum safety distance between the cooking surface and the hood is 650 mm. If the stove manual specifies a greater distance, follow that.

How to clean the grease filters?

The metal filters are dishwasher safe. Remove them by pushing them backward and pulling down. Wash them every 2 months (more frequently with heavy use) and let them dry before reinstalling.

When should I replace the activated charcoal filter?

The activated charcoal filter is not washable. Replace it at least every 4 months (more often with heavy use). To change it, first remove the metal filters, then unclip the used filter and install the new one.

Can I use the hood with a gas stove?

Yes, but ensure adequate ventilation of the room. The negative pressure must not exceed 0.04 mbar to prevent gas backflow. Never connect the hood to a flue used for combustion appliances.

How to adjust the fourth speed?

Press button T3 for 2 seconds: the indicator flashes and the hood switches to 4th speed with a 6-minute timer. After this time, it returns to the previous speed.

What diameter of exhaust duct should I use?

Use a duct with a diameter of 150 mm. If necessary, the supplied ø 150-120 mm reducer allows connecting a 120 mm duct.

The hood no longer turns on, what to do?

First check that the hood is plugged in and the bipolar switch is in the on position. If the problem persists, check the fuse or circuit breaker. If nothing works, contact customer service.

Can I install the hood myself?

The electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified technician. The mechanical assembly (wall mounting, duct connection) can be done by a knowledgeable DIYer, strictly following the instructions in the manual.

How to completely stop the motor?

Press button T1 (first speed): it cuts the motor regardless of the current mode. The hood first switches to first speed then stops.

Where to find spare parts (filter, bulb)?

For spare parts, contact FABER customer service. Use only original parts to ensure safety and performance.

For your safety and correct operation of the appliance, read this manual carefully before installation and use. Always keep these instructions with the appliance even if you move or sell it. Users must fully know the operation and safety features of the appliance.

The wire connection has to be done by specialized technician.

• 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).
• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be respected.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
• Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
• 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.
• Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

• 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. 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.

• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced from the manufacturer or its service agent.
• Connect the plug to a socket complying with current regulations, located in an accessible place.
• With regards to the technical and safety measures to be adopted for fume discharging it is important to closely follow the regulations provided by the local authorities.

⚠ WARNING: Before installing the Hood, remove the protective films.

- Use only screws and small parts in support of the hood.

⚠ WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

• Do not look directly at the light through optical devices (binoculars, magnifying glasses...).
• Do not flambè under the range hood; risk of fire.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
  ⚠️ Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.

• Clean and/or replace the Filters after the specified time period (Fire hazard). See paragraph Care and Cleaning.
• There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).
• The symbol 📁 on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.

Wall drilling and bracket fixing

Wall marking:

• Draw a vertical line on the supporting wall up to the ceiling, or as high as practical, at the centre of the area in which the hood will be installed.
• Draw a horizontal line at 650 mm above the hob. Place bracket 7.2.1 on the wall as shown about 1-2 mm from the ceiling or upper limit aligning the centre (notch) with the vertical reference line.
• Mark the wall at the centres of the holes in the bracket.
• Place bracket 7.2.1 on the wall as shown at X mm below the first bracket (X = height of the upper chimney section supplied), aligning the centre (notch) with the vertical line.
• Mark the wall at the centres of the holes in the bracket.
• Mark a reference point as indicated at 116 mm from the vertical reference line and 320 mm above the horizontal reference line.
• Repeat this operation on the other side.
• Drill 8 mm holes at all the centre points marked.
• Insert the wall plugs 11 in the holes.
• Fix the brackets using the 12a (4,2 x 44,4) screws supplied.

• Insert the two screws 12a (4,2 x 44,4) supplied in the hood body fixing holes, leaving a gap of 5-6 mm between the wall and the head of the screw.

• Before attaching the hood body, tighten the two screws Vr located on the hood body mounting points.

• Hook the hood body onto the screws 12a.
  • Fully tighten the support screws 12a.
• Adjust the screws Vr to level the hood body.
