The manufacturer declines all responsibility in case of failure to adopt proper safety measures.
Ensure that the location in which this appliance is installed, has good and permanent ventilation.
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.
Before Installation
We recommend this appliance to be installed or repaired by a qualied Schweigen Home
Appliances technician.
Please see our website www.schweigen.com.au for recommended installers.
It is dangerous to modify any part of this appliance. Modication of any kind, will immediately void
the warranty.
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.

Please read this section thoroughly before attempting to operate the
appliance. Inspect your product upon receipt. Any damage or defects
MUST be reported within 48 hours, or no claim will be recognised.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS APPLIANCE IF YOU FIND IT DAMAGED.
If this product is installed damaged, the supplier, nor the retailer, will be
responsible for the costs associated with the repair, replacement, removal
or re-installation of the appliances.

2. Your Safety
This guide is for the installation of the Isodrive motor system after the canopy/rangehood or bathroom
extraction grill has been mounted on the wall or ceiling. (Refer to canopy/rangehood or bathroom
extraction unit installation manual).
NOTE: All PVC pipe and exi ducting measurements are referring to inside measurements, unless
otherwise mentioned.
Motor Features
• Roof and wall mounting with IPX4 degree of weather protection.
• Super quiet, long vane, backward curved centrifugal fan.
• Airow is dependant on installation and the ducting used. Using single 200mm ex duct, you
should attain up to 1600m3/hr. The use of a smaller than 150mm (ISD) pipe would result in a loss of
airow.
• Simple installation: mounts onto a 150mm PVC pipe for ultimate strength and allows for easy
Dektite roof sealing.
• Industrial quality motor and fan made in Germany and rated at 40,000 hours.
• Motor is a high efciency PSC type and rated at 135W costing around the same as two 70W light
globes to run.
• WARRANTY 10 YEARS return to manufacturer. Covers faulty manufacturing or components. It does
not cover normal wear and tear.
General Notes on Installation and Use
This fan unit is designed to be installed using 150mm (ISD) PVC pipe as the initial connection duct to
the fan module, and is supplied with a 150mm (ISD) PVC pipe to 200mm (ISD) exible duct
bell-mouth adaptor.
This fan is suitable for connection to multiple duct runs with a minimum inlet area of 22,000mm2and
length up to 15 metres maximum (check with supplier if longer duct length required). Where possible
exible ducting must be extended sufciently to present a smooth air passage with bends of at least
the radii of twice the diameter of the duct.
WARNING: The rangehood must not be ducted into a wall cavity or a ceiling space, where a build
up of grease can occur and become a potential re risk. This will void warranty.
NOTE: Fan module and dual foil exi-duct are acoustically matched. Use of semi-rigid or rigid ducting
will result in increased noise and may void warranty. See installation instruction notes ‘Why exi-duct’.
Recommended Installation Distance
Isodrive 1600 motor, recommended 5 to 6 metres of exi ducting.

Page 6
2. Your Safety
NOTE: Although less than 5 to 6 metres will increase extraction power this will result in higher noise
level. Maximum duct length 15 metres. Check with supplier if longer duct length is required. Do not
reduce the duct size at any time and avoid sharp bends.
Minimum Mounting Height
This fan unit is intended for mounting at a minimum height of 2.1 metres (measured to the lower part
of the fan impeller) above a oor or the ground.
Avoidance of Back Flow
Care should be taken to avoid the back ow of gases into the room from the open ue of gas or
other open re appliances.
Safety of Children
This fan is not intended for use by young children or inrm persons without supervision.
Replacement of supply cord
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a service agent or suitably qualied person in
order to avoid a hazard.
Why Flexi-duct
Some internet sites strongly recommend the use of rigid ducting over fully flexible ducting. This may
well be the case with conventional rangehoods with internal motor rangehood but not with external
motor rangehood.
Schweigen’s unique Isodrive system works in the opposite way to conventional rangehoods, pulling
air through the hood and acoustically matched ducting, producing almost silent high volume ow.
The use of a complete rigid or semi-rigid ducting system will allow an organ piping effect to occur;
like a didgeridoo where a noise is produced at one end of a hollow rigid pipe and the noise is
amplied out the other.
The Isodrive system places the noise outside the house and it needs to be kept there.
WARNING: Installation without the use of at least the minimum recommended length of acoustically
matched exi-ducting in the system will void performance expectations. Any installation problem
must be reported to Schweigen. Call outs relating to incorrect installation will result in a service fee
direct to the customer. Schweigen takes no responsibility for problems caused by faulty installation,
this may void warranty. A preferred installer list can be obtained from Schweigen website
www.schweigen.com.au or by calling 1300 881 693.

Roof Installation
Recommended duct length: 1600 motor — 5 to 6 metres.
Mount 150mm (ISD) rigid PVC pipe securely to beams, trusses or other appropriate structures: refer
gure 1. The pipe should be mounted vertically with the roof penetration being sealed using a Dektite or
other appropriate sealing membrane or device.
Ensure that the PVC pipe protrudes at least 50mm past the top of the Dektite, checking that the fan
assembly clears the roof cladding at upper edge, refer gure 1.
Pass power cord and plug through mounting ange and pipe, then out the slotted PVC pipe for
connection to the female plug coming from the canopy/rangehood. Refer to gure 4.
Do not insert plug into socket outlet or switch on until installation has been completed. Fit fan module to
pipe and x in position using side locking screw.
Certain external installation congurations may cause audible levels of noise to be heard due to the
air being expelled from the motor. To minimize external noise disturbance you can use between 6 to 15
metres of exi duct to place the Isodrive motor in an appropriate position.
Please be aware that the 1600 motor is capable of expelling air at 1600m3/hr.
For more information on environmental noise limit and conditions please contact your local Council. We
have a list of recommended installers available on the Schweigen website.

Wall Installation
This type of installation is similar to roof mounting, ensuring that the pipe extends at least 50mm past
the wall surface refer gure 2. If the pipe length is shortened, reproduce the power cord exit slot on
the inside of the wall.
IMPORTANT FOR 1600 MOTOR: Weather shield must be tted to the top cover of the side ange using
the 3 screws provided. Also, it is required to use the hanging bracket for wall mount installation, for
more information please refer to page 15.
NOTE: By decreasing the length of the exi duct from which specied (refer to installation instructions)
there will be an increase in airow and noise levels as a result. This increase in airow can cause
movement of air to be heard through the system and inhibit the system to run silently.

Flexible Ducting
Flexible ducting must be fully extended and cut to the required length upon installation. Maximum
fan performance will not be achieved unless the ducting is fully extended. Failure to fully extend
ducting results in a smaller air passage and lower airows. Incorrect installation may reduce airow or
increase noise levels. Call outs relating to incorrect installation will result in a service fee directed to
the customer. Schweigen will take no responsibility for problems caused by faulty installation. A list of
preferred Schweigen installers can be obtained from the Schweigen website www.schweigen.com.au.
Please keep the exi ducting taut,
5 to 6 metres in length
NOTE: In shallow roof spaces
extend exi ducting horizontally
