Please use an earthed electrical connector that
coincides with relevant local laws and regulations.
Check that the power voltage in your area
corresponds to the appliance voltage indicated on
the rating label.
This appliance must be connected to an electrical
supply that has a grounded connection.
Check that the indicated instructions and local
regulations are met and carried out by a qualied
technician, using materials that are compliant with
the applicable legislation.
Schweigen will not be responsible for any
installations executed by non-qualied technicians
that fail to heed the applicable legislation on
electrical safety.

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)
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 re-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
re hazards.
Recirculating (or non-ducted or ltered) rangehoods
extract cooking fumes and pass them through
lters. As the name would suggest, they recirculate
this air back into the room. Recirculating rangehoods
are not as eective as removing fumes from a
kitchen space, but they are sometimes the only
option due to budgetary or building constraints.
Your client should be made aware of the requirement
to change and clean lters on a regular basis for the
optimum eciency of air ltering.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
The rangehood surface should be cleaned with soft
cloth and non-corrosive detergent. Do not leave
the rangehood wet after cleaning or use, please
keep rangehood dry.
Important: Never attempt to repair this appliance
by yourself. Always refer to a qualied
Service Technician.
Always switch o the electricity and unplug the
connection before conducting maintenance
or cleaning.
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 qualied person in order
to avoid
a hazard.

• For your appliance to function eectively,
regular maintenance is a must.
• The function of the lter is to absorb the grease
particles emitted during cooking.
• Blocked lters and heavy oil deposits restrict
airow and may cause the motor to overheat and
become a re hazard.
• Filters should be cleaned every 3-6 weeks or
after 40 hours of use.
• Disconnect the electrical connection before any
maintenance or cleaning processes are carried
out.

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.
GOOD

BEST
500mm
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.
Side View

INSTALLATION
Page 16
MOUNTING LAWS AND REGULATIONS
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:
• 650mm electric cooktop
• 650mm 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.
RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION HEIGHT FOR INDUCTION COOKTOP
To help avoid condensation, particular to cooking with an induction cooktop, Schweigen recommends
a minimum height of 700mm. Refer to page 24 for further information.
DANGER
Always switch o and disconnect mains power before installing the rangehood.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
*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.
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.
