Frequently Asked Questions - TELESCOPIC FTC 632L GR/XS FRANKE

How to install the TELESCOPIC FTC 632L GR/XS hood?

Installation must be carried out by a competent technician. Use the supplied screws and respect the safety distances. The minimum distance between the cooking surface and the hood is 650 mm. For under-cabinet mounting, follow the provided drilling template.

What is the safety distance to be observed between the hood and the hob?

The minimum safety distance is 650 mm. If the gas hob instructions specify a greater distance, please strictly adhere to it.

How to clean the metal grease filters?

The metal grease filters can be washed in the dishwasher approximately every 2 months. Remove one filter at a time, wash without bending, dry before reassembling. The handle must face outward.

How often should charcoal filters be replaced?

Charcoal filters must be replaced approximately every 3 to 4 months, or more frequently with heavy use. They cannot be washed or regenerated.

How to replace a hood bulb?

Turn off the lights and wait for the bulbs to cool. Remove the metal grease filters, unscrew the old bulbs and replace them with new ones of the same type (4W E14 or 5W GU10) and same electrical characteristics.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode without external extraction?

Yes, the hood can be used in recirculation version. In this case, ensure the charcoal filters are in place and the oriented grille is fixed for the recirculated air outlet. A 125 mm hole must be drilled in the top shelf.

What safety precautions should be taken during installation?

Ensure the voltage matches that of the plate. The installation must include proper earthing. Use a bipolar switch with contact opening of at least 3 mm. Do not connect the hood to chimney flues.

What to do if the power cord is damaged?

If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer or by an authorized after-sales service technician to avoid any danger.

How to select the extraction speed?

Use the V button to choose among 3 speeds: minimum speed for permanent and quiet air change, medium speed for normal use, and maximum speed for strong steam emissions.

Can I install the hood above a gas stove?

Yes, but respect the minimum safety distance of 650 mm (or higher if specified by the stove). Ensure the room is well ventilated if the hood operates simultaneously with gas appliances.

• 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 of 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 120mm . 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 supplied with the hood.
  WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.
