Setup and Installation

The Franke Maris FMA 807 BK is designed for wall mounting. Installation should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with all applicable local and national building and electrical codes.

Pre-Installation Checks:

• Verify that the power supply voltage matches the appliance's requirements (220-240 V).
• Ensure the wall structure is strong enough to support the hood's weight (21 kg).
• Maintain a minimum safety distance of 400 mm between the bottom edge of the hood and the cooking hob.
• Decide between extraction (ducted) or recirculation (ductless) mode. The hood supports both. For recirculation, ensure the active carbon filter is installed.

Mounting Steps (General Guidance):

1. Mark the drilling points on the wall according to the provided template (if applicable) and the required safety distance.
2. Drill holes and insert wall plugs suitable for your wall type.
3. Secure the mounting bracket(s) to the wall.
4. Carefully lift and hang the hood onto the mounting bracket(s).
5. Connect the ducting for extraction mode or install the active carbon filter for recirculation mode.
6. Connect the appliance to the electrical supply.
7. Install the telescopic shaft (if purchased separately) to cover the ducting.

For detailed installation diagrams and specific measurements, refer to the separate installation guide provided with your product.

Operating Instructions

The hood is operated via a touch control panel located on the front glass surface.

Control Panel Functions:

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your range hood.

Cleaning the Metal Grease Filters:

The metal grease filters are designed to trap grease particles from cooking fumes. They are dishwasher safe.

1. Turn off the hood and disconnect it from the power supply.
2. Remove the grease filters by releasing their latches.
3. Wash the filters in a dishwasher or by hand using hot water and a mild detergent.
4. Ensure filters are completely dry before re-installing.
5. Re-install the filters, ensuring they are securely latched.

Clean the metal grease filters at least once a month, or more frequently depending on cooking habits.

Replacing the Active Carbon Filter (for Recirculation Mode):

If your hood operates in recirculation mode, the active carbon filter removes odors from the air. This filter is not washable and must be replaced periodically.

• The active carbon filter (Franke part number 112.0016.755) is included with the product.
• Replacement frequency depends on usage, typically every 3-6 months.
• Refer to the specific instructions provided with the replacement filter for installation details.

General Cleaning:
