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 ame, take particular care not to allow the oil or grease in the pan to catch
re. (Flambé)
Rangehoods and other cooking fume extractors may adversely aect the safe operation of appliances
burning gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to back ow of combustion gases. These
gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range hood or other
cooking fume extractor, the operation of ued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to
ensure that back ow of combustion gases does not occur.
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.

5. Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning the Interior
Clean the interior of the rangehood with a damp cloth and a neutral detergent.
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 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 gure 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.
OK
Warning
Always switch o and disconnect power before cleaning.

5. Cleaning & Maintenance
Endure the baes are cool before removing, to
ensure no oil is spilt.
To remove the lter lift up the lever and pull
towards you. Then lower the lter to remove
from the cavity. To replace, perform the same
operation but in reverse.
Baes
For this appliance to function eectively, regular maintenance is a must.
• The function of the bae is to collect the grease particles given o during cooking.
• Clogged heavy oil deposits restrict airow and may cause the motor to overheat
and become a re hazard.
• Baes 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 baes can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
–Washing by hand - Immerse the lter in hot water and a suitable detergent and when clean,
rinse with plenty of hot water.
–Dishwasher - Put the lter in the dishwasher and select a short program at low temperature.
NOTE: The colour of the metal mesh lters may change after several washes. This is normal and
it is not necessary to change the lters.
Please ensure the baes are completely dry before placing them back in position
and operating the rangehood.
Warning
• If the baes are very dirty, the motor will extract only a small quantity of air, which
reduces its eciency;
• The grease deposits that build up on the baes are highly ammable and COULD
EASILY CATCH FIRE.
• The manufacturer is exonerated from all responsibility in the event of re due to poor
maintenance of the grease lters.

BBQ Installation
When installing the rangehood over a BBQ , please be aware that the lid will obstruct the rangehoods
eectiveness to extract smoke, steam and odours. Where possible, remove the lid of the BBQ unit when
in use, so as to allow for eective 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 minimum height
above the cooking surface, Schweigen declines responsibility for damages suered by the rangehood
due to excess heat or damage to objects, people and others caused directly or indirectly by a
malfunction, breakage or re.
*Important: In addition to the information in this manual,
please check all relevant state requirememnts 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.

Faulty Installation
It is not the responsibility of Schweigen to rectify any incorrect installations. A service call out fee
will be charged for any Schweigen technician that attends a call, whereby it is established that
the fault is due to an incorrect installation or non-manufacturing fault. Should the appliance be
installed in such a way that the service agent is unable to gain access to the appliance, the person/s
who own the premises or the property where the appliance resides — will be responsible to provide
access to the appliance at their expense.
Step 1
Secure rangehood to the wall using only primary
mounting points ( 1). Check the level of the
rangehood and adjust accordingly if necessary
(2). Once level, continue to secure the rangehood
via the secondary mounting points ( 3).

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 eciency
of the ducting, lowers extraction and
may cause excessive noise.
2. Sweeping curves and taut ducting
reduces resistance and turbulence.
The airow and extraction will be
more ecient and stronger.
