User Manual for Franke 1220B-16 Cooker Hood

Quick guide from the manual

This document provides essential instructions for the Franke 1220B-16 cooker hood. Key safety requirements include maintaining a minimum distance of 44 cm from electric hobs and 65 cm from gas hobs. Installation and electrical work must be performed by a qualified professional. The hood features a filter guard and adjustable damper for air flow control.

Safety Instructions

• Installation: Must be carried out by a qualified professional.
• Distances: Minimum 44 cm from electric hobs; 65 cm from gas hobs.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate air supply if using the hood simultaneously with other energy-consuming appliances (gas, wood, oil stoves).
• Maintenance: Disconnect from power before cleaning. Clean filters regularly to prevent fire hazards.
• Prohibitions: Do not flambé food underneath the hood.

Functions and Operation

The control panel features buttons A through F:

• A: Lighting.
• B: Increased general and sanitary ventilation (runs at top speed, returns to basic after 60 minutes).
• C, D, E: Open damper and set fan speed (1, 2, or 3).
• F: Timer extension (+30 minutes) or Filter guard reset.

Programming: To activate/deactivate functions (like the filter guard), press and hold buttons A and B for 3 seconds until they flash 3 times. Select the function, then save by holding A and B for 3 seconds until they flash twice.

Installation

The hood is designed for mounting above a hob. Ensure the installation complies with local building regulations. The unit requires a 230 V electrical connection. The junction box or wall socket must remain accessible after installation.

Adjusting Air Flow

Damper adjustment and speed changes must be performed by a qualified professional. The basic ventilation is set by moving the sliding damper, which becomes accessible after removing the grease filter. The transformer voltage for the lowest speed can be adjusted to 80 V via reprogramming.

Care and Maintenance

• Grease Filter: Remove by opening the snap retainer. Clean at least every two months (more often with intensive use) using warm water and washing-up liquid, or in a dishwasher.
• General Cleaning: Clean the inside of the hood and the damper at least twice a year with a damp cloth and washing-up liquid.
• LED Lighting: If the lighting fails, it must be replaced with an equivalent special light fixture from the manufacturer or service agent.

Troubleshooting

If the unit is not working:

• Check that the fuse is intact.
• Disconnect the power supply, wait, and switch it on again.
• Ensure the connector is not bent or twisted.
• If the product has a stove alarm or stove guard, refer to the separate instructions provided with that specific accessory.
