Frequently Asked Questions - FMA 905 WH XS FRANKE

How to install the Franke FMA 905 WH XS hood?

Drill a vertical line at the center and a horizontal line at 788 mm above the cooking surface. Drill 12 mm holes for the supports and 8 mm holes for the anchors. Hang the hood body and level it. The minimum distance between the cooking surface and the hood is 650 mm.

What is the recommended mounting height?

The minimum safety distance between the cooking surface and the hood is 650 mm. For gas cooktops, respect the distance specified in their manual if it is greater.

How to clean the grease filters?

The self-supporting metal filters are dishwasher safe. Open the panels, remove the filters by pushing them backwards and pulling downwards. Wash them without bending, dry them, and reassemble them every 2 months.

When should the activated carbon filter be replaced?

The activated carbon filter is not washable and must be replaced every 4 months or more often with heavy use. Open the panels, remove the grease filters, then replace the carbon filter.

How to use the delayed shut-off function?

Press the T3 key for 2 seconds to activate the delayed shut-off of 30 minutes (motor + lighting). During that time, you can change the speed. Keys T1 and (T2, T3 or T4) flash.

How to activate the boost speed?

Press the T4 key for 2 seconds to start the timed boost speed at 6 minutes. After this time, the hood returns to the previous speed. Useful for smoke peaks.

What to do if the power cord is damaged?

Do not use the appliance. Have the cord replaced by the manufacturer or an authorized after-sales service to avoid any risk of accident.

Can the hood be used with a gas cooktop?

Yes, but the room must have sufficient ventilation. The negative pressure must not exceed 0.04 mbar to prevent gas backflow. If the gas cooktop specifies a distance greater than 650 mm, respect that distance.

How to turn the lighting on and off?

Press the L key to turn the lighting on or off at maximum intensity. The key lights up when the lighting is active.

How to open the hood panel?

Simply pull the panel outward. It locks automatically in any position. To clean it, use a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent, inside and outside.

USER MANUAL FMA 905 WH XS FRANKE

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 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 nonelectrical 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 3mm .

USE

• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
• Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
• Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
• Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flames.
• Do not flambé 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

• The Activated charcoal filter is not washable and cannot be regenerated, and must be replaced approximately every 4 months of operation, or more frequently for particularly heavy usage.
• Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.
