2. Important Safety Information

Product Use

This product is designed for household use and should not be used for commercial applications.

After use, always ensure that all controls are in the "OFF" position.

When frying with a gas flame, take particular care not to allow the oil or grease in the pan to catch fire. (Flambé)

Ducted or Recirculating?

Ducted rangehoods (or extractor rangehoods) extract the cooking fumes from the kitchen and expel them from the space via ducting. Good design practice would always see a fire-rated ducting system extend to the house exterior, rather than to the ceiling cavity. When a rangehood is ducted only into the ceiling space, the collection of humidity and grease can present very real health issues and fire hazards.

Recirculating (or non-ducted or filtered) rangehoods extract cooking fumes and pass them through filters. As the name would suggest, they recirculate this air back into the room. Recirculating rangehoods are not as effective as removing fumes from a kitchen space, but they are sometimes the only option due to budgetary or building constraints. You should be made aware of the requirement to change and clean filters on a regular basis for the optimum efficiency of air filtering.

Electrical Cord

Ensure the supply cord is not exposed to heat, chemicals or sharp objects. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Warning

Always switch off and disconnect power before cleaning.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the interior of the rangehood with a damp cloth and a neutral detergent or denatured alcohol.

NOTE: Do not use denatured alcohol on the exterior of the rangehood. Do not clean the electric parts or the motor with liquids or solvents

Cleaning the Exterior

We recommended using a soft cloth, water and a liquid soap, rinsing it well and then drying it thoroughly. For better results, you can use high quality cleaning and protection products (e.g., Steel Kleen) to clean your rangehood.

• The recommended detergent is a solution of water and a neutral liquid soap.
• It is very important for the liquid soap to not contain granules that could scratch the surface.
• First apply the solution to a soft cloth and then rub the cloth over the rangehood. It is important to follow the direction of the stained surface with the cloth (refer to figure on left).
• Do not pour any liquid directly on to the rangehood.
• The cloth must have no buttons, zips or fasteners that could scratch the surface.
• It is strictly forbidden to use chemical solvents, aggressive, grainy or abrasive products, naphtha, alcohol or similar products that could damage the surface of the rangehood.
• The manufacturer will not be held responsible for functional or aesthetic damage caused by cleaning with products which are not suitable or using inadequate cleaning methods.

5. Cleaning & Maintenance

Baffles

For this appliance to function effectively, regular maintenance is a must.

• The function of the baffle is to collect the grease particles given off during cooking.
• Clogged heavy oil deposits restrict airflow and may cause the motor to overheat and become a fire hazard.
• Baffles should be cleaned every 3-6 weeks or after 40 hours of use.
• For induction cooktop, please aim to clean them at least every 10 days, depending on use.
• The bafles can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.

- Washing by hand - Immerse the filter in hot water and a suitable detergent and when clean, rinse with plenty of hot water.

- Dishwasher - Put the filter in the dishwasher and select a short program at low temperature. NOTE: The colour of the metal mesh filters may change after several washes. This is normal and it is not necessary to change the filters.

Please ensure the baffles are completely dry before placing them back in position and operating the rangehood.

Endure the baffles are cool before removing, to ensure no oil is spilt.

To remove, push away from you until the near edge clears the slot. Then carefully pull down and back to remove. To replace, perform the same operation but in reverse.

Diagram showing three rectangular panels with vertical slats and directional arrows indicating movement or force (no text or symbols)

Warning

• If the baffles are very dirty, the motor will extract only a small quantity of air, which reduces its efficiency;
• The grease deposits that build up on the baffles are highly flammable and COULD EASILY CATCH FIRE.
• The manufacturer is exonerated from all responsibility in the event of fire due to poor maintenance of the grease filters.

Replacing the Light Bulb

DANGER

Always switch off and disconnect the power cord before replacing any light bulbs. Failure to do so may cause serious injury. Please be aware that the light bulb will retain heat for a short period of time after being switched off.

Step 1

Remove the filters from the rangehood.

Step 2

Gently turn light bulb anti-clockwise, pull the light bulb down and remove it from the light holder.

Step 3

Insert a new light bulb by lining up the pins of the light bulb with the larger holes inside the light holder. Once the pins are in place, turn clockwise to secure the light bulb.

OPTIMAL Rangehood larger than cooking zone

BBQ Installation

When installing the rangehood over a BBQ, please be aware that the lid will obstruct the rangehoods effectiveness to extract smoke, steam and odours. Where possible, remove the lid of the BBQ unit when in use, so as to allow for effective rangehood extraction. Alternatively, install the rangehood on an extension, to move the rangehood further out.

Extension ✓ ✓ ✓

Overhead cabinet Rangehood Installation position

It is important to consider the benchtop and overhead cabinetry depth before installing the rangehood.

The information below is to be used as a guide only, drawings are not to scale and do not account for all circumstances.

The cooktop is centrally installed in the benchtop in the diagrams below.

When the overhead cabinetry is constructed and installed deeper than standard, ensure the rangehood is installed as close to the front as possible. This will increase the rangehood extraction results as there is a greater coverage of the cooktop surface area.

6. Installation

Mounting Instructions - Outdoor/Alfresco

When installing in an outdoor kitchen or alfresco area, the rangehood MUST NOT be installed where it is directly exposed to the elements.

It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that the rangehood be installed centrally over the cooktop. This will greatly improve its performance.

Minimum legal height from the BBQ surface to the underside face of the rangehood:

- 1200mm

Any installation above 1200mm will compromise the extraction performance.

Measurements are from the top of the trivets to the lowest part of the rangehood, including the button controls.

*IMPORTANT: If the user decides to install the rangehood at a distance of less than minimum height above the cooking surface, Schweigen declines responsibility for damages suffered by the rangehood due to excess heat or damage to objects, people and others caused directly or indirectly by a malfunction, breakage or fire.

*Important: In addition to the information in this manual, please check all relevant state requirementments for minimum-maximum heights, as well as regulations regarding the expelling of air. Schweigen is not liable if your rangehood is not installed in accordance with these legal requirements.

1. Sweeping curves and taut ducting reduces resistance and turbulence. The airflow and extraction will be more efficient and stronger.

Back Draft Fins (For applicable models)

The supplied ducting has been manufactured with an allowance for the back draft fins to operate without hindrance. It is the smooth extended end of the ducting.

When installing Back Draft Fins, please ensure that you insert the Back Draft Fins onto the back draft base, which are attached to the top of the motor outlet before installation. Then place the smooth extended edge of the ducting into the back draft base and fix securely.

Should your Back Draft Fins get stuck, this is not a warranty issue.

Ducting Advice

RECOMMENDEDAVOID
1.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical setup with a cylindrical component mounted on a base plate (no text or symbols)

Straight ducting is the most effective installation

1. 

Technical diagram showing a mechanical assembly with a cylindrical component mounted on a base, accompanied by an inset close-up of its cross-section (no text or symbols present)

Keep the curves or bends to a minimum. If they do exist, try to keep the angles as open as possible.

1.

Never reduce flue diameter right next to the rangehood outlet fitting.

2.

Never fit reductions next to curves or bends in the installations. They must always be in straight sections and as far as possible from the rangehood.

3.

Avoid excessive reduction of the flue size, as this drastically reduces extraction capacity.

4.

You should not have more than one blend in the installation.
