Your State Regulatory Authority
Different Australian states have varying legislative requirements for the installation of rangehood ducting. Some will insist on ducting being vented externally (i.e. not in to the ceiling cavity); others will not. It is imperative that you check with your state building authority and/or private certifier to confirm their position.

Cleaning & Maintenance

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 range hood. Do not clean the electric parts or the motor with liquids or solvents

Cleaning the Exterior
We recommended using a soft cloth, water, and 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 range hood.

• 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 range hood. 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 range hood.
• 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 range hood.
• The manufacturer will not be held responsible for functional or aesthetic damage caused by cleaning with products that are not suitable or using inadequate cleaning methods.

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 cooktops, please aim to clean them at least every 10 days, depending on use.
• The baffles 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 a low temperature.

NOTE: The color 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 range hood. Endure the baffles are cool before removing, to ensure no oil is spilled. 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.

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 a fire due to poor maintenance of the grease filters.

Replacing the Light

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 range hood.

• Step 2
  Gently turn light bulb 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 anti- clockwise to secure the light bulb.

Installation

Rangehood Size vs Cooktop Size
In addition to the size, the height of the rangehood above the cooktop is important to obtain the best performance.

• INADEQUATE Rangehood smaller than cooking zone
• ADEQUATE Rangehood same size as cooking zone
• 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.

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 the 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 requirements 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.

Mounting Points for Body
The diagrams below are a guide for all mounting points.

WARNING
Please remove filters before installation. Failure to do so may damage the clips.

DANGER
Always switch off and disconnect the power supply before installing the rangehood. Failure to do so may cause serious injury.

Installation Example

Step 1

• Insert support frame into cabinet. The support will only be needed in certain circumstances.

NOTE: The support frame is not included. The requirement of a support frame is dependent on the type and location of installation. Please contact your installer for more information.

Step 2

• Secure support frame to inside of cabinet.

Step 3

• Secure the undermount into cavity using screws. All screws are installed internally into a support frame.

IMPORTANT
Please ensure all plastic protection on the rangehood and filters is removed before use.

Ducting
Please DO NOT crush or kink the ducting.

1. Crushed or kinked ducting creates sharp corners that creates turbulence. This reduces the size and efficiency of the ducting, lowers extraction and may cause excessive noise.
2. Sweeping curves and taut ducting reduces resistance and turbulence. The airflow and extraction will be more efficient and stronger.
