Frequently Asked Questions - BOX PLUS FBI 737 XS FRANKE

How to install the BOX PLUS FBI 737 XS extractor hood?

Installation must be carried out by a competent technician. The hood is mounted under a wall cabinet at a minimum distance of 650 mm from the cooking surface. Cut the opening in the cabinet according to the provided dimensions, insert the hood and fix it with the 10 screws supplied. In extraction mode, connect the 150 mm outlet (or 120 mm with reducer) to an exhaust duct. In recirculation mode, install the activated charcoal filters and direct the recycled air via the adjustable grille.

How to electrically connect the hood?

Connect the hood to the mains via a bipolar switch with a contact opening of at least 3 mm. Ensure the voltage matches that indicated on the rating plate and that the installation has a proper earth connection (class I).

What are the functions of the control panel keys?

The keys are: T1 to stop the motor, T2 speed 1, T3 speed 2, T4 for speed 3 (short press) or timed speed 4 for 6 minutes (long press 2 seconds), and L for lighting. Each key lights up solid when active.

How often should the grease filters be cleaned?

The self-supporting metal filters should be washed about every 2 months of use, or more frequently under heavy use. They are dishwasher safe. After washing, dry them before reinstalling.

How to replace the activated charcoal filters?

Activated charcoal filters are not washable and must be replaced about every 4 months. Open the panel, remove the grease filters, then the saturated charcoal filters (unclip). Install new filters and reassemble. Contact after-sales service to purchase filters.

Can I use the hood without external exhaust?

Yes, in recirculation mode. You need to install activated charcoal filters (not supplied) and direct the recycled air outlet grille. Ensure the room is properly ventilated if you use combustion appliances simultaneously.

What to do if the hood does not work?

First check the power supply (switch, fuse). Ensure filters are clean and properly placed. If the cord is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer or an authorized service. For any other issues, consult the manual or contact customer service.

What safety precautions should be observed during use?

Never flambé food under the hood. Avoid looking directly at the light with optical instruments. Do not touch hot parts. Ensure adequate ventilation if the hood operates with gas appliances. Respect safety distances.

How to clean the hood?

Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and a mild liquid detergent. For the interior, use a damp (not wet) cloth and mild detergent. Never use abrasive products, wet sponges, or water jets.

Where to find spare parts or accessories?

Contact Franke after-sales service or an authorized dealer. Activated charcoal filters, screws, grilles and other components are available. Consult the manual for exact references.

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.
