Frequently Asked Questions - FHDSF1100BL FALCON

What is the minimum installation height between the hood and the cooking surface?

The minimum safety distance is 650 mm. If the gas cooktop specifies a higher distance, follow that.

How to clean the grease filters?

The metallic grease filters are dishwasher safe. Clean them about every 2 months of use, or more often with heavy use. Let them dry before reinstalling.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, the hood can operate in filtering mode. You need to install an activated charcoal filter (not supplied) and follow the mounting instructions for the air outlet in filtering version.

What to do if the motor doesn't start?

Check that the hood is plugged in and the bipolar switch is on. Make sure the power cable connector is properly connected to the diffuser. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

How to set the fourth timed speed?

Press the T3 button for 2 seconds to activate the fourth speed. It runs for 6 minutes then returns to the previous speed. This function is ideal for smoke peaks.

What diameter exhaust duct to use?

Use a rigid or flexible duct of diameter 150 mm or 125 mm with the supplied reducer. The path should be as short as possible (max. 3 meters straight or 2 meters with one 90° bend).

How to replace the charcoal filter?

First remove the metallic grease filters. Unclip the old charcoal filter by acting on the hooks. Install the new filter, then put back the grease filters. Replace it every 4 months.

Can I install the hood above a gas cooktop?

Yes, but maintain a minimum distance of 650 mm (or more if specified by the cooktop manufacturer). Ensure adequate room ventilation if the hood is used simultaneously with gas appliances.

How to completely turn off the motor?

Press the T1 button (Speed 1) to turn off the motor. Note that the T1 button always goes through the first speed before turning off.

Where to find spare parts for this hood?

Contact the Falcon after-sales service to order spare parts such as filters, bulbs or the motor. Always use original parts.

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.

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.

Connections

DUCTED VERSION AIR EXHAUST SYSTEM

When installing the ducted version, connect the hood to the chimney using either a flexible or rigid pipe 150 or 125 mm, the choice of which is left to the installer.

• To install a 125 mm air exhaust connection, insert the reducer flange 9 on the hood body air outlet and the adapting ring 120-125 10 on the reducer flange.
• Fix the pipe in position using sufficient pipe clamps (not supplied).
• Remove any activated charcoal filters.

Exhausted mode Recommendations and suggestions

Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 125 mm.

The route of the flue must be as short as possible.

Ideal ducting distance to discharge outlet is maximum of 3 meters straight run, or 2 meters and one 90 degree bend preferably rigid duct.

Maximum ducting distance should be 3 meters, with one 90 degree bend.

For each additional 90 degree bend, the maximum distance is reduced by 1 meter.

If the ducting is not correct it will increase noise and reduce performance.

AIR OUTLET – RECIRCULATION VERSION

• Unfasten the 2 screws fixing the upper bracket 7.2.1.
• Fasten the air outlet connector 15 in its place, using the 2 screws removed as above.
• Join the Connector 15 to the Hood canopy outlet using a rigid or flexible pipe 150 mm, selection of which is at the discretion of the installation technician.
• Make sure that the Activated charcoal odour filter has been fitted.
