Frequently Asked Questions - FHV94650XA FAURE

How to install the FHV94650XA range hood?

Respect a minimum distance of 650 mm between the cooking surface and the hood. Use an exhaust duct with a minimum diameter of 120 mm. Ensure the mains voltage matches that indicated on the rating plate. For Class I appliances, earthing is mandatory. Connect the hood with a bipolar switch having a contact opening of at least 3 mm.

What is the safety distance between the hood and the cooktop?

The minimum distance is 650 mm. However, if the gas cooktop instructions specify a greater distance, that prevails.

How to clean the grease filters?

The grease filters must be cleaned every 2 months. They are dishwasher-safe. You can also clean them by hand with a neutral liquid detergent.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The charcoal filter is neither washable nor regenerable. It should be replaced approximately every 4 months of operation, or more frequently with heavy use.

What to do if the hood stops working?

First check the power supply and the fuse. If the cord is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer or an authorized service. For any malfunction, contact customer service.

Are the bulbs replaceable?

Yes, but for replacement, contact the after-sales service. Use only recommended bulb types.

Can I use the hood without external exhaust?

No, the hood is designed with an exhaust duct. If you use non-electric (gas) appliances, the room must have an opening to the outside to ensure air supply and avoid negative pressure exceeding 0.04 mbar.

How to adjust the speed of the hood?

Use buttons A, B, C, or D. Button A controls the lighting. Buttons B, C, D correspond to speeds 1, 2, 3. Press to start the motor at the desired speed. You can also activate the delayed start function (5 min) for automatic shut-off.

What is the noise level of the hood?

The noise level is not specified in the manual. It varies depending on speed and installation. For an estimate, consult the product data sheet.

Is the hood compatible with a gas cooktop?

Yes, but ensure you respect the safety distance and provide adequate ventilation. Never flambé food under the hood. The negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar.

EN Recommendations and suggestions

• 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.
• 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 120mm . 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 specified above, this has to be taken into account. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
• 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.

• Connect the hood to the mains through a two-pole switch having a contact gap of at least 3 ~mm .

Use

• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
