Frequently Asked Questions - FAR 905 XS LED FRANKE

How to install the Franke FAR 905 XS LED range hood?

Installation must be done by a qualified professional. Ensure the wall supports the weight (18 kg) and respect a minimum distance of 65 cm between the hood and an electric cooktop, or 75 cm for gas. Securely fix the wall bracket and connect the exhaust if necessary.

How often should the grease filters be cleaned?

Grease filters should be cleaned every month (or after 30 hours of use). They are dishwasher safe at 65°C. A clogged filter reduces performance and increases energy consumption.

How to replace the charcoal filter?

The charcoal filter is optional and must be replaced every 3 to 6 months depending on usage. To replace, unclip the old filter and insert the new one following the mounting direction. It is not washable.

What to do if the hood stops working?

First check the power supply (fuse or circuit breaker). Then check the power cord and socket. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service. Do not attempt to repair the motor yourself.

How to adjust the suction speed?

Use the touch buttons to choose among 3 speeds. The intensive speed (maximum) is available for strong odors and automatically deactivates after 10 minutes.

Can the LED bulbs be replaced?

Yes, the LED bulbs (2 x 3 W) are replaceable. Purchase bulbs compatible with the hood. To access, remove the glass panel or cover depending on the model. Contact customer service for exact references.

Is the hood making abnormal noise?

Abnormal noise may come from a clogged filter, loose mounting, or foreign object. Clean the filters and check screws. If noise persists, the motor may be defective; have it checked.

How to use the hood in recirculation mode?

If you cannot exhaust outdoors, use recirculation mode with a charcoal filter. The air is purified then returned to the kitchen. The hood comes ready for external exhaust; for recirculation, add the charcoal kit.

Where to find spare parts for this hood?

Spare parts (filters, bulbs, remote control) are available from your Franke dealer or on the official website. Use the exact model reference FAR 905 XS LED to order.

What is the warranty for the Franke FAR 905 XS LED hood?

The manufacturer warranty is 2 years from the date of purchase. It covers manufacturing defects but not damage due to improper installation or insufficient maintenance. Keep the receipt.

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.

- The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).

- 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.

- This appliance is not intended for use 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 concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

- “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.
• "Failure to carry out cleaning as indicated will result in a fire hazard".
• Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.
