Frequently Asked Questions - FCR 925 TC FRANKE

How do I install the Franke FCR 925 TC range hood?

Install the hood at least 65 cm above electric hobs or 75 cm above gas hobs. Use the mounting template and secure with provided screws. Ensure ducting is connected to an external outlet or use recirculation mode with a carbon filter.

How often should I clean the grease filters?

Clean the aluminum mesh filters every 3 months or more frequently with heavy use. Wash by hand with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher at low temperature. Allow to dry completely before reinstalling.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, the FCR 925 TC can be used in recirculation mode. You need to install a carbon filter (sold separately) to absorb odors. Replace the carbon filter every 6-12 months.

Why is my range hood making loud noises?

Loud noises may be due to loose parts, blocked ducting, or a worn motor. Check that the filters are clean and properly seated. Ensure the ductwork is not obstructed. If noise persists, contact a qualified technician.

How do I replace the LED lights?

The LED lights are integrated and should be replaced by a professional. Contact Franke customer service for assistance. Do not attempt to replace them yourself to avoid electrical hazards.

What is the maximum extraction capacity?

The maximum extraction capacity is 650 m³/h. This is achieved at the highest speed setting. Actual performance depends on duct length and bends.

Can I wash the carbon filter?

No, carbon filters are not washable and must be replaced when saturated. Typically every 6 to 12 months depending on usage. Dispose of old filters according to local regulations.

How do I reset the filter saturation indicator?

Press and hold the timer button (usually marked with a clock symbol) for 3-5 seconds until the indicator light turns off. Refer to the manual for exact procedure as it may vary by model.

What is the recommended duct diameter?

The recommended duct diameter is 150 mm. Using a smaller diameter will reduce performance and increase noise. Ensure ducting is as short and straight as possible.

Where can I buy replacement parts?

Replacement parts such as filters and LED modules can be purchased from Franke authorized dealers or online. Use the model number FCR 925 TC to find compatible parts.

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 120 mm. 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 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. 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 3 mm.

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 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 shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

- “CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.”

MAINTENANCE

• Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
• Clean and/or replace the Filters after the specified time period (Fire hazard).
• The Grease filters must be cleaned every 2 months of operation, or more frequently for particularly heavy usage, and can be washed in a dishwasher.
• 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.
