Life with your Franke rangehood
MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Before carrying out any maintenance of changing the filters, globes or cleaning the appliance, turn off
or unplug the appliance from the mains to avoid elextric shock.
COOKING INFORMATION
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.
If the rangehood is used over a deep fryer, it must be continually monitored during use.
Do not spray oil directly onto an open flame or hot surface for risk of fire.
CHANGING THE FILTERS
Change or replace the filters after the specific time period to avoid a clogging hazard.
The grease filters must be cleaned every 2 months of operation or more
frequently for heavy use. These can be placed in a dishwasher.
• Pull out the sliding suction panel.
• Remove the filters one by one, after having disconnected the relative
fastening elements.
• Wash the filters, taking care not to bend them. Let them get dry before
refitting them. (The colour of the filter surface may change throughout
the time but this has no influence to the filter efficiency).
• When refitting the filters, make sure that the handle is visible on the outside.
• Close the sliding suction panel.
OPERATING YOUR RANGEHOOD
By pulling out the sliding panel it is possible to automatically activate all the hood functions.
By simply closing the sliding panel all the functions are switched off.

relation between hood performance and noise.
3. Maximum speed, suitable when the highest cooking vapour emission has to be
eliminated for longer periods.
