Frequently Asked Questions - Tale 915 W XS FRANKE

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

The minimum distance is 650 mm. If the cooktop specifies a greater distance, follow that.

How to clean the grease filters?

Grease filters should be cleaned every 2 months. They are dishwasher safe or can be washed by hand with a neutral detergent.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The activated charcoal filter should be replaced approximately every 4 months of use, or more often with heavy use.

What does the flashing of the LEDs mean?

Slow flashing (hood off): grease filter saturation alarm (after 100h). Fast flashing: charcoal filter saturation alarm (after 200h).

How to reset the filter alarm after cleaning?

With all loads off, press and hold the C key until LED A flashes 3 times.

Check the power supply, plug, and circuit breaker. If the cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified professional.

For your own safety and to ensure proper operation of the appliance, please read this manual carefully before installation and operation. Keep these instructions together with the appliance, even if it is sold or transferred to third parties. It is important that users know all the appliance's operating and safety characteristics.

The cables must be connected by a trained technician.

• The manufacturer shall not be considered responsible for any injury or damage caused by improper installation or use.
• The minimum safety distance between the hob and the suction hood is 650 mm (some models may be fitted at a lower height; please see the paragraph relating to working dimensions and installation).
• If the instructions for installation of the gas hob specify a distance greater than the one indicated, this must be taken into account.
• Check that the mains power supply corresponds to the one indicated on the data plate affixed inside the hood.
• The cut-out devices must be installed in the fixed system according to wiring system

regulations.

• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply is adequately earthed.
• Connect the hood to the flue using a pipe with a minimum diameter of 120 mm. The fumes must travel the shortest distance possible.
• All the air venting regulations must be complied with.
• Do not connect the ducting hood to flues that also carry combustion fumes (e.g. boilers, chimneys, etc.).
• If the hood is used in combination with non electric appliances (e.g. gas appliances), a sufficient level of ventilation must be guaranteed in the room to prevent any exhaust backflow. If the kitchen hood is used in combination with appliances that are not electrically powered, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar to avoid any risk of the fumes being sucked back into the room by the hood.
• The air must not be extracted through a flue that is also used as an exhaust flue for fumes from gas or other fuel powered combustion devices.
• If it is damaged, the power cable must be replaced by the manufacturer or by a service technician.
• Connect the plug to a socket that complies with current regulations and is in an accessible position.

- As regards the technical and safety measures to be taken for exhausting of fumes, it is important that the regulations set by local authorities be complied with scrupulously.

CAUTION: remove the protective films before installing the hood.
