• Check the contents of the packaging, check all electrical functions of the canopy before installation.
Canopy is heavy. Please ensure adequate care when installing to prevent personal injury.
• A power outlet should be within reach of the power cord exit from the rangehood.
• The canopy hood is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or metal capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• There must be adequate ventilation of the room when the rangehood is used at the same time as
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• There is a re risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions. You must read the
details concerning the method and frequency of cleaning.
• Do not ambé under the rangehood. This will void the warranty.
• Exhaust air must not be discharged into an existing ue which is used for exhausting fumes from
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• The minimum distance between the hob surface and the lowest part of the rangehood is 650mm. This
distance shall be at least 650mm, if the rangehood is installed over a gas hob. If the instructions for the
gas hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account.
• Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the discharge of
exhaust air is fullled. Even a partial obstruction will restrict the eciency of the rangehood.
• Stainless steel is very easily damaged during installation if abraded or knocked by tools. Protect the
rangehood with the cardboard box or plastic bag during installation.

2. Maintenance & Service
• CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
• We recommend this appliance be installed and repaired by a qualied technician.
• It is dangerous to modify any part of this appliance. Modication of any kind, will immediately void the
warranty.
• The manufacturer declines all responsibility in case of failure to adopt proper safety measures.
• Please consult local laws and regulations and install in accordance.
• Use an electrical connector with earth that is correct for your location.
• Check that the voltage in your area corresponds to the appliance as indicated on the rating label.
• This appliance must be connected to an electricity supply with a ground connection.
• Check that the installation and electrical connections are made by a qualied technician and that the
indicated instructions and local regulations in force are met, using materials that are compliant with the
applicable legislation.
• The company will not be responsible for installations executed by non-qualied persons and
installations that fail to heed the applicable legislation on electrical safety (with regard to both modes
and materials).
• The electrical technical data can be found inside the rangehood, after removing the grease lters.
• The exible power cable supplied is already connected internally and emerges from the rangehood
near the air outlet tube.
Maintenance and Service
• Always switch o and disconnect power before cleaning.
• The rangehood surface should be cleaned with soft cloth and non-corrosive detergent. Wash with
warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Never use abrasive detergent, scouring pads, steel wool or
solvents on any part of this appliance, Always make sure to dry the appliance after cleaning and never
leave wet, as this will cause irreparable damage.

• For better results, you can use high quality cleaning and protection products (e.g. Steel Kleen) to clean
rangehood.
• Do not leave the rangehood surface wet after cleaning.
• Particular care must be taken with the aluminium lters which must be periodically cleaned (at least
every month, this will vary depending on frequency of cooking and type of foods cooked). Remove
the grease lters and wash them either by hand using hot soapy water or in the dishwasher using
mild detergent. Do not scrub. Note - some discolouration of the frame may occur when washing in the
dishwasher Caution: Never use abrasive or oil based liquid cleaners.
• If the grease lters 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 lter 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.
• Important: Never attempt to repair this appliance by yourself. Always refer to a qualied Service
Technician. Remember to always switch o the electricity and unplug the connection before
conducting maintenance or cleaning.

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.

4. Installation
Mounting Instructions
It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that the rangehood be installed centrally over the cooktop.
This will greatly improve its performance.
Minimum height from the hob top surface to the underside face of the rangehood:
• 600mm electric cooktop
• 600mm gas cooktop
Any installation above 800mm will compromise the extraction performance.
Note: If the instructions for the gas cooktop specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account.
*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.
Recommended Installation Height for Induction Cooktop
To help avoid condensation, particular to cooking with an induction cooktop, Schweigen recommends
a height of 700mm. Refer to page xx for further information.
Measurements are from the top of the trivets
to the lowest part of the rangehood, including
the button controls.
*Important: Please check all State and Federal Laws
in relation to the minimum–maximum heights,
regulations concerning the expelling of air and
install your rangehood in accordance with local
laws and regulations.

5. Condensation Information
Cooking with Induction Cooktops
Cooking with an induction or similar cooktop, may produce condensation on the rangehood.
Unlike basic electric or gas cooking, induction cooktops heat food and liquid instantly, which in turn,
produces vapours rapidly. Because of this rapid process, the rangehood lters do not have enough
time to warm, which increases the chance of condensation forming.
There are many variables that may contribute to condensation forming, some of which include but
are not limited to:
• Variance in climate – geographical location
• Position of your home & kitchen – morning/afternoon sun
• Installation distance from cooktop to the rangehood
• Speed of food & liquid heating
• Angle of ducting – Sshweigen ‘S’ bend preferred
• Filter size - larger canopy preferred
• Quality of pots or cookware you are using – high quality recommended
How to reduce the possibility of condensation forming:
• Ensure the rangehood is installed by a qualied professional, carefully following the installation guide
• Turn on the rangehood 5-10 minutes prior to cooking, and leave on for 5-10 minutes after cooking;
this helps clear remaining vapours from the ue.
• Start the cooking process at a low-to-medium setting and allow time for the rangehood to warm up.
• Clean lters regularly.
• Ensure constant airow in the cooking zone; this helps optimise the rate of extraction.
• Follow all induction cooktop manufacturer advice.
For further advice, tips or information regarding cooking with induction, please contact your induction
cooktop manufacturer.
