Falmec Manuals & User Guides

Falmec is a global leader in kitchen aspiration systems, renowned for combining sophisticated Italian design with advanced technology. Founded in 1981, the company has transformed from a small manufacturing unit into a major international brand, producing an extensive range of wall-mounted, island, ceiling, and built-in cooker hoods.

Falmec distinguishes itself through proprietary innovations such as the Noise Reduction System (NRS), which delivers ultra-quiet operation, and the E.ion System, which uses bipolar ionization to purify air and eliminate odors without external venting. Committed to excellence, Falmec utilizes high-grade materials like AISI 304 stainless steel to ensure durability and aesthetic appeal. Their "Circle.Tech" technology integrates suction and filtration into a single compact unit, maximizing efficiency and space.

• How often should I clean the metal grease filters on my Falmec hood?

  Metal anti-grease filters should typically be cleaned after approximately 30 hours of operation. They can usually be washed by hand or in a dishwasher to remove grease buildup and ensure optimal performance.

• What is the Falmec NRS system?

  The Noise Reduction System (NRS) is a proprietary Falmec technology developed in collaboration with fluid dynamics laboratories. It optimizes airflow and uses sound-absorbing materials to make cooker hoods up to 86% quieter than standard models.

• How does the E.ion System work?

  The E.ion System uses controlled bipolar ionization to neutralize odors, allergens, and pollutants (like bacteria and molds) in the kitchen air. It restores optimal ionic balance without the need for external ducting.

• Can I install a Falmec hood with a remote motor?

  Yes, many Falmec models support remote motor installation (e.g., in the attic or outdoors) to further reduce noise inside the kitchen. Check your specific model's manual for compatibility and installation kits.

• What do the different colors on the leaf sensor indicate?

  For hoods equipped with the E.ion sensor, the leaf indicator changes color based on air quality: green indicates clean air, while yellow indicates the presence of pollutants or odors. The hood may automatically activate to purify the air when the sensor detects poor quality.
