GENERAL
These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. Carefully read the following important information
regarding installation safety and maintenance .You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the
appliance.
It is most important that this instruction book be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the
appliance be sold or transferred , always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new
owner can get to know the function of the appliance and the relevant warnings .
The appliance has been designed for use in the ducted version (Fig.1B) and recirculated version (Fig.1A).
SAFETY PRECAUTION
1.Take care when the rangehood is operating in the same room as an open fireplace or burner that requires
air in the environment and uses an energy source other than electrical energy – this because the rangehood
removes air from the environment which a burner or fireplace may need for combustion.The negative pressure
in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar).
2. Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the rangehood.
3. Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.
4. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING !
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a danger hazard.
A) This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
B) Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
C) Do not check or remove the filters when the rangehood is operating.
D) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the rangehood.
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the overheated oil may become a fire hazard.
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
G) Do not touch lighting or adjacent areas when lighting is on - and for a period of time after using the light.
H) Avoid leaving cooktop on (gas and electric) without the saucepan covering the burner or cooking zone.
This is because heat transferring upwards to the rangehood will be damaging to the filters and a fire hazard.
I) Ensure adequate ventilation of the room where the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances
burning gas or other fuels. Exercise care when a rangehood is installed in an area where a gas burner is
operating. Depending on the size of the room, the rangehood may draw from the room air that is necessary
for proper combustion of the burner.
J) Ensure the rangehood is cleaned frequently.
L) There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
M) For any repairs always contact an authorised Technical Customer Service Centre and ask for original
spare parts. Repairs by untrained people may lead to damage and void warranty.
Warnings for Installation:
a) The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances
burning gas or other fuels.
b) The minimum distance from the cooktop surface and the lowest part of the range hood must not be less
than 65cm. If the instructions for the cooktop specify a greater distance, please consider this.
c) The regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air have to be fulfilled.
d) All Blanco rangehoods are used for indoor application/installation only.

This appliance conforms to the European Directive EC/2002/96, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE). By making sure that this appliance is disposed of in a suitable manner, the user is helping to
prevent potential damage to the environment or to public health.
The symbol on the product or on the packaging label on the carton indicates that the appliance should
not be treated as domestic waste, but should be delivered to a suitable electric and electronic appliance
recycling collection point. Follow local guidelines when disposing of waste. For more information on the

treatment, re-use and recycling of this product, please contact your local authority or domestic waste collection

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Electric Connection
The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary.
The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral
If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load indicated on the description label. Where a plug is
provided, the range hood must be installed in order that the plug is easily accessible.
An omnipolar switch with a minimum opening of 3mm between contacts, in line with the electrical load and
local standards, must be placed between the appliance and the network in the case of direct connection to
the electrical network.
• The minimum distance between the support surfaces of the cooking pots on the cook top and the lowest
part of the range hood must be at least 65 cm. If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper
part must be placed outside the lower part. Do not connect the range hood exhaust to the same conductor
used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from other appliances generated by other than an electrical
source. Before proceeding with the assembly operations, remove the anti-grease filter(s) (Fig.7) so that the
unit is easier to handle.
In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.
• We recommend the use of an air exhaust pipe with a diameter of 150. If a pipe with a smaller diameter is
used, the efficiency of the product may be reduced and its operation may become noisier.
• FIXING TO THE WALL
Drill the holes A as per the distances indicated (Fig.2). Fix the appliance to the wall and align it in horizontal
position to the wall units. When the appliance has been adjusted, definitely fix the hood using the screws A
(Fig.5).
For the various installations use screws and screw anchors suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete,
plasterboard, etc.). If the screws and screw anchors are provided with the product, check that they are
suitable for the type of wall on which the hood is to be fixed.
• FIXING THE DECORATIVE TELESCOPIC FLUE
Arrange the electrical power supply within the dimensions of the decorative flue. If your appliance is to be
installed in the ducting version or in the version with external motor, prepare the air exhaust opening. Adjust
the width of the support bracket of the upper flue (Fig.3). Then fix it to the ceiling using the screws A (Fig.3)
in such a way that it is in line with your hood and respecting the distance from the ceiling indicated in Fig.2.
Connect the flange C to the air exhaust hole using a connection pipe (Fig.5). Insert the upper flue into the
lower flue. Fix the lower flue to the hood using the screws B provided (Fig.5), extract the upper flue up to the
bracket and fix it with the screws B (Fig.3).
If your appliance has the lower connections indicated as in Fig. 4 A, the fixing to be carried out is that shown
in Fig. 6.
• RECIRCULATING FILTERING VERSION
Install the hood and the two flues as described for installation of the hood in ducting version. To assemble the
filtering flue refer to the instructions contained in the kit provided. Charcoal filters can be fitted in the ducting
unit located inside the hood (Fig.8). Filter can be purchased as an accessory, part number ACK62260.
Additional Installation Notes.
Rangehoods may be ducted in two ways:
1. Ducted to the atmosphere (outside).
2. Recirculating.
We recommend ducting to the atmosphere to ensure optimum performance. Recirculating the air back into
the room should only be used when outside extraction is not possible. To ensure maximum performance
when ducting it is important the ducting that carries the fumes away, be as short and as straight as possible.

When incorporating a rangehood in the design of a kitchen the following points need to be considered
to achieve the most benefit from the rangehood.
1. Ducting from a rangehood carrying the exhaust air, should not exceed a length of three (3) metres.
2. For ducted installation we recommend using galvanised or similar metal type flue pipe. PVC pipe is not
recommended.
3. Ducting containing a 90° degree bend will encounter a loss in efficiency of approximately 35%. Additional
90° degree bends can cause losses of up to 15% per bend.
4. Ducting size should always comply with the manufacturers specification.
5. We recommend carbon filters be used when re-circulating the air into the room. There will be some loss of
air movement when carbon filters are fitted.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking.
It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 15 minutes after cooking is terminated in order to
minimise cooking vapours and odours.
The proper function of the cooker hood is conditioned by the regularity of the maintenance operations, in
particular, the active carbon filter.
• The aluminium grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air. The filters are therefore
subject to clogging according to the frequency of the use of the appliance.
In order to prevent a fire hazard, it is recommended to clean the filters every 2 months by carrying out the
following instructions:
- Remove the aluminium filters from the range hood and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid
detergent, leave to soak.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
- The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
The aluminium filters may alter in colour after several washes. This is not cause for customer complaint nor
replacement of panels.
Recirculated to kitchen area via bulkhead Recirculated to kitchen area via ceiling cavity
Ducted to atmosphere through wall Ducted to atmosphere through roof

• Clean the fan and other surfaces of the range hood regularly using a cloth moistened with mentholated
spirits or non abrasive liquid detergent.
• The active carbon help to filters purify the air that is replaced in the environment.The filters are not washable
or reusable and must be replaced at a maximum every four months. The saturation of the active carbon filter
depends on the frequency of use of the appliance , by the type of cooking and the regularity of the cleaning
of the aluminum filters.
• The lights are designed to be used during cooking – not for prolonged general illumination of the environment.
Prolonged use of the lights will reduce the duration of the bulb.
LIGHT REPLACEMENT - INCANDESCENT.
• Remove the aluminium filters from the range hood.
• Un-screw the globe.
• Replace the globe.
• Re-install the aluminium filters.
Globe: Tubular E14 40Watts 240volts
• LIGHT REPLACEMENT - HALOGEN
12 volt 20 W Halogen.
Remove the glass retaining ring and glass.
Replace the globe with another of the same type.
Replace the glass and retaining ring.
