INTRODUCTION
This instruction manual is designed to provide you with all the required
instructions related to the installation, use and maintenance of the
appliance.
In order to operate the unit correctly and safety, please read this
instruction manual carefully before installation and usage.
This extractor makes use of high quality materials and is made with a
streamlined design.
It is equipped with large electric motor with a centrifugal fan, which
provides strong suction power, low noise operation.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Never let children operate the extractor
The extractor is designed for domestic use and is not suitable for
use with barbeques or any commercial application.
The extractor and its filters should be regularly cleaned, to avoid
any fire hazards due to oil build up in and around the extractor.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or qualified service agent to avoid electrical hazards.
Only connect this unit to a properly earthed electrical outlet. If in
doubt seek advice from a qualified electrician – Failure to follow
this could result in death or electrical fire.
If ducting the air outside, it must not be discharged into a flue that
is being used to vent out exhaust fumes from appliances burning
gas or other fuels.
This appliance can be used by children above the age of 8 if they
have been given supervision and/or instruction concerning the safe
use of the appliance.
CAUTION: Some parts of the extractor may be become hot during
use with a gas cooker.

INSTALLATION (AIR RECIRCULATION)
If ducting the air to the outside with the ducting pipe is not possible, then
the ducting pipe can be discarded.
The installation of the extractor is the same as previously shown, the
only difference is that carbon filters (provided) assist in
trapping/capturing odours.
Attach the carbon filters to the motor of the extractor and turn it in a
clockwise direction.
Ensure that the carbon filters are securely locked in place.
Please note that once the filters are fitted to the extractor, the
suction power of the unit will decrease somewhat.

MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, switch off the unit by unplugging from the wall socket,
or if connected directly to the mains, switch off at the isolator switch.
I. REGULAR CLEANING
Use a soft cloth moistened with mild soapy water. Never use
metal pads, strong cleaning detergents such as “Handy Andy”,
abrasive materials or brushes to clean the unit. Always ensure
that you use certified stainless steel cleaners to avoid rust and rust
stains
II. MONTHLY CLEANING OF THE GREASE FILTER (ALUMINIUM)
Clean the filter monthly to prevent fire hazards due to oil build up.
The grease filter collects oil, so its cleanliness directly affects the
extractor’s efficiency. If not cleaned regularly, the grease build up
will block the air from flowing through and thereby affect the
suction rate of the extractor.
11
Clean it by removing from the extractor and submerging into hot
soapy water and giving it a very gently clean with a cloth.
III. ANNUAL REPLACEMENT OF THE CARBON FILTERS
This only applies to extractors which are recirculating the air back
into the kitchen space (not ducting outside).
Charcoal filters need to replaced once a year by purchasing at
www.appliancespares.co.za.
IV. BULB REPLACEMENT
1. Switch off the unit and unplug.
2. Remove the lamp cover by unscrewing two screws.
3. Unscrew the incandescent bulb.

Generally asked Questions and Answers:
1. Q: My extractor fan is not extracting
A: before logging a service call please ensure the installation on your extractor fans was done properly to
avoid a service call out fee charge. Herewith a list of commonly found mistakes on everyday installations:
* Installer did not remove the tape on the butterfly valve. (Q: 13).
*Installer did not secure the power cord inside the chimney. (Q: 13).
*Your ducting hose is exceeding the recommended maximum length. (Q: 13).
*Your unit is not at the recommended height. (Q: 3).
*Your unit is installed above the wrong application. (Q: 2).
A service fee will apply when we log a service call and any of the points above apply.
2. Q: Can I use the extractor fan above my gas braai?
A: NO. Please note that this unit was designed for the intended purpose of domestic kitchens only and cannot
be used as a commercial extractor fan. Commercial usage includes but is not limited to: Restaurants, Coffee
Shops, Soup Kitchens, Tuck shops, Food trailers, Gas braai’s inside or outside your property, any other form
of braai and any kitchen that is used for commercial purposes. Using the extractor you purchased on any
commercial application poses a serious fire risk and will result in immediate void of your warranty. Please
contact our Falco offices for assistance with Gas Braai Extractors.
3. Q: What is the correct installation height?
A: The recommended installation height is 700mm above gas and 650mm above electrical. On either
application it is recommended that your installation height does not exceed 750mm to ensure the best results.
Q: Do I require a recirculation kit?
A: No. The extractor was designed to be used on both applications; External and Re-circulation air operation
and no additional kit are required.
4. Q: What is the difference between External and Re-circulation air operation?
A: Re- circulation; All wall mount units are supplied with aluminium and charcoal filters. For Re-circulation
mode you will simply install the unit. The air will filtrate through both sets of filters, you’re outside aluminium
filters and you’re inside charcoal filters. The air discharged from your extractor is then clean and grease free
and cannot cause any damage. There are two options when using your extractor on Re-circulation. 1 –Let the
filtrated air escape through the vents on top of your top chimney or you can use the extendable ducting house
to vent the air into your ceiling. Activated charcoal in the charcoal filters removes odour and some smoke
particles from the air before releasing the cleaned air back into the kitchen.
•External: The only difference between Re-circulation mode and external mode is that on external mode you
are venting the air to the outside of your property using a ducting hose. This means the clean filtrated air will
not be discharged into your kitchen or ceiling but to the outside. The unit is supplied with an extendable
ducting hose. When venting your air outwards the charcoal filters can be removed to improve the suction rate.
Removing the charcoal filters on re-circulation mode is not recommended.
|
Please note that the wall fitting that fits into your wall when venting your air outwards is not supplied
with the extractor and can be purchased locally.
14
5. Q: How does an Extractor Fan work?
A: Extractor fans are designed to remove airborne grease, steam, heat smoke and odours from cooking by
extracting and filtration of the air in your kitchen and above your cooking surface.
6. Q: Are my downlights/bulbs covered under the warranty period?
A: NO. Downlights, bulbs, aluminium and Charcoal filters and are not covered under the guarantee period.
For the full list of terms and condition of the warranty period please read the warranty certificate supplied
inside the box or in your manual. You can also download it from www.falco.co.za
7. Q: How often do I have to replace my filters?
A: With daily use we recommend that you replace your charcoal filters every 6 months. Your aluminium filters
can be cleaned in luke warm water and dishwashing liquid. Please do not put your aluminium filters in the
dishwasher as this will discolour the filters and they will become dull. Alternatively you just purchase new
aluminium filters.
8. Q: How long is my warranty and what does it entail?
A: All our extractor fans carry a two year guarantee. Motors, PC Boards, Capacitors, Transformers (for units
with 12volt downlights), 220Volt light sockets(for units with normal 220v light bulbs), Main Control Switches
and motor fan blades are covered by our two year parts and labour guarantee.
9. Q: What is excluded from my warranty?
A: Downlights and bulbs, Glass panels and extractor glass, aluminium and charcoal filters are excluded from
the warranty.
10. Q: How do I clean my Stainless steel extractor?
A: Always ensure your extractor is cleaned with non-abrasive cleaners. Always read the product instructions
and ensure that the product is safe for the use of Stainless steel. Two great products are window cleaner,
which is also a stainless steel cleaner, and spray on wood polish, another certified stainless steel cleaner.
Please note that abrasive cleaners will damage the stainless steel and will cause rust or rust stains.
11. Q: Why is there rust marks on my extractor?
A: Stainless steel can rust if cleaned with abrasive cleaners. The chemicals inside abrasive cleaners react
with the stainless steel and the result will be rust. There are many day to day cleaning products in our kitchens
that are abrasive cleaners and unknown to the consumer. Please make sure you read the instructions and if
Stainless Steel is not mentioned, then do not use the product on Stainless steel.
12. Q: Can I extend my stainless steel chimneys if they are to short?
A: Yes. Please make sure of your measurements before starting your installation process. Additional bottom
chimneys and installation brackets are sold by Lategan & Van Biljoens in Pretoria and they are used to extend
the chimneys on Falco units.
13. Q: My extractor is blowing and not extracting?
A: There are three main reasons that can cause your extractor to blow instead of extracting and most of the
time (98%), this is caused by faulty installations. Please make sure that there is no obstruction on top or inside
your ducting hose. The yellow warning sticker placed over the ducting outlet should be removed after
installation is completed to ensure no debris falls into the cavity, damaging the extractor barrel fan.
Make sure the power cable is neatly secured inside the chimneys and make sure the power cable is not
causing an obstruction on top of your butterfly valve. Poor workmanship and failure to secure the power cable
causes the cable to lie on top of the butterfly valve and this will block and prevent the unit from extracting
properly.
15
Please ensure that if your butterfly valves are fitted, that the tape stuck over your butterfly valves in the factory
is removed when your unit is installed. Failure to remove the tape on the two butterfly valves will result in
airflow outlet to be restricted and this will cause the air to be returned causing the blowing of air instead of the
extraction of air. Before booking a service call make sure you check this first to avoid being charged.
(a)This is a picture of the butterfly valve closed with the tape on top:
The tape should be removed when installed. Both butterfly valves open when the extractor is switched on:
(b) Ducting hoses exceeding the 2.5meters will also have a negative effect on the extraction rate of your extractor fan.
If you are out-venting the air and the extension of ducting hose exceeds 2.5meter you need to purchase an addition
extraction motor that must be installed in line with the ducting hose to support in the extraction of the air. The longer
your ducting hose the less your extraction rate will be. If your ducting hose is too long and you did not install an
additional extracting motor in line with the ducting hose, your extractor will not extract the air. Please ask your installer
about an additional inline motor when your ducting hose is exceeding 2.5m.
14. Q: Parts Availability
A: Full range of spares is available from Lategan & Van Biljoens in Pretoria. www.appliancesspares.co.za
15. Q: What is the diameter of my ducting hose?
A: 150mm
