6.2 Replacing Charcoal Filters (Recirculation Mode)
If your hood is operating in recirculation mode, the charcoal filters (odor filters) cannot be washed and must be replaced periodically, typically every 3-6 months depending on usage. Follow the instructions provided with the replacement filters.
6.3 Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior surfaces of the hood with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the stainless steel or glass finish.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your extractor hood, consult the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Hood not turning on: Check if the appliance is properly plugged in and if there is power to the outlet. Check the circuit breaker.
- Poor extraction performance: Ensure grease filters are clean and not clogged. If in recirculation mode, check if charcoal filters need replacement. Verify that the ducting (if applicable) is not obstructed.
- Excessive noise: Check for loose parts or improper installation. Ensure the ducting is correctly fitted and free of obstructions.
- Lights not working: Check if the bulbs need replacement. Ensure the light switch is functioning correctly.
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact FRANKE customer support or a qualified service technician.
