Frequently Asked Questions - Tale 615 W XS FRANKE

What is the safety distance between the hood and the cooking surface?

The minimum distance is 650 mm. Also check your hob's instructions, as a greater distance may be required.

How to clean the grease filters?

Grease filters must be cleaned every 2 months (or more often with heavy use). They are dishwasher safe.

When should the activated carbon filter be replaced?

The activated carbon filter is neither washable nor reusable. It must be replaced every 4 months or more frequently with heavy use.

What do the flashing LED A mean?

If LED A flashes slowly (hood off), it indicates that the metal grease filters need cleaning. If it flashes quickly, it signals replacement of the activated carbon filter.

How to reset the filter alarm?

To reset the alarm, long press key C with all loads (motor and lights) off. LED A will flash 3 times to confirm.

Can the hood be used with gas appliances?

Yes, but ensure the room is properly ventilated to prevent backflow. Negative pressure must not exceed 0.04 mbar.

How to activate intensive speed?

Long press key D when the light or motor is on. Intensive speed lasts 6 minutes, then the system returns to the previous speed.

What if the power cord is damaged?

It must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified technician to avoid electric shock.

Can I use the hood without external venting?

Yes, in recirculation mode with an activated carbon filter (not supplied with all models). The air is then filtered and returned to the room.

How to replace the LED lighting?

LED replacement must be done by after-sales service. Contact your dealer or manufacturer for parts and assistance.

2. OPERATION

The extractor hood is intended solely for use in the household for removing cooking odors. Never use the extractor hood for purposes other than those for which it was designed. Never leave the high flame under the extractor hood while it is in operation. Adjust the flame power so that it remains under the bottom of the cooking vessel and does not extend beyond its edges. - When cooking in a deep fryer, constantly monitor its operation: strongly heated oil can ignite.

3. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• The activated carbon filter cannot be washed or restored; it should be replaced approximately every 4 months of operation, or more frequently in case of very intensive use of the appliance (W).

Grease filters should be cleaned once every 2 months of operation, or more frequently in case of very intensive use of the appliance; grease filters can be washed in a dishwasher (Z).

Clean the extractor hood body with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use products based on alcohol or silicone for cleaning the internal and external surfaces of the hood.

4. CONTROL DEVICES

The data plate is attached to the inside of the aspirator, on the side facing the user.

• Before installing the system, check that it complies with the regulations for electrical wiring. For connections to the mains, make sure that the electrical grounding in the home is properly earthed. Connect the aspirator to the exhaust pipe, using a pipe with a diameter of at least 120 mm. The pipe should be as short as possible. All ventilation regulations must be observed. Do not connect the aspirator to exhaust pipes that carry combustion gases (e.g., from boilers, chimneys, etc.).
• If the aspirator is used simultaneously with non-electric appliances (e.g., gas appliances), ensure adequate ventilation in the room to prevent the backflow of gases. If the aspirator for the cooking area is used together with non-electric appliances, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar to avoid the risk of the aspirator drawing fumes back into the room.

In the room where the exhaust pipe is located, do not discharge air from appliances that operate on gas or other fuels. - If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified technician. The plug must be connected to a contact that complies with electrical safety regulations and is properly grounded. It is important to strictly follow the local regulations regarding technical and safety measures for the discharge of vapors.

WARNING: Wear protective gloves before installing the aspirator.
