6. Cleaning & Maintenance
WARNING
• 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.
Cleaning the Interior
Clean the interior of the rangehood with a damp cloth and a neutral detergent or denatured alcohol.
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 (eg. Steel Kleen) to clean your
rangehood.
WARNING
• Make sure that the electrical power is o.
• 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

Installation Advice
• Never reduce ue diameter right next to the rangehood outlet tting, refer to gure 1.
• Never t reductions next to curves or bends in the installations. They must always be in straight sections
and as far as possible from the rangehood, refer to gure 2.
• Avoid exccessive reduction of the ue size, as this drastically reduces extraction capacity, refer to
gure 3.
• Use an air extraction ue which is as short as possible.
• You should not have more than one bend in the installation, refer to gure 4.
• Keep the curves or bends to a minimum. If they do exist, try to keep the angles as open as possible, refer
to gure 5.
Adding charcoal lters (optional)
If you are using the appliance in the recirculation mode, a carbon lter must be tted.
• Detach the grease lter rst.
• Press the lock and pull it downward.
• Plug the activated carbon lter into the unit and turn it in a clockwise direction.
• Repeat the same on the other side.
• Please ensure that the lter is securely locked, otherwise it can come loose and become a hazard.
• When the carbon lter is attached, the suction power may be lower.
• Please replace the carbon lter every 4 to 6 months; depending on cooking frequency & method, you
may need to replace the lter more or less frequently.

8. Maintenance
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 faster 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
• Distance from cooktop to the rangehood
• Speed of food & liquid heating
• Angle of ducting – Schweigen ‘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 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 become warm.
• 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 the induction
cooktop manufacturer.

Troubleshooting
If the product does not work:
Before you contact the technical service department, make sure that the product is plugged in, the electric
fuse (on selected models) is in correctly and electric wiring is connected. (Fuses can be purchased from
your local electrical dealer or hardware store). Weak air suction may be caused by back draft ns remaining
closed. Do not take any action that will damage the product.
Check electric connection. Voltage of the electric network should be between 220 - 240V, rangehood should be connected to grounded plug and turned on. Check motor switch. Please ensure that there is power to the rangehood and the rangehood is switched on. Check lamp switch. Lamp switch should be at on position. Check metal lter. Metal lter should be washed regularly, see lter cleaning. Check lamps. Lamps should be rm. Check outlet. Outlet should be open. Check lamps and fuse. Make sure they are not broken or faulty. Please make sure there is no obstruction in ducting or back draft fins. Check the outlet, make sure it is not blocked and you have the correct diameter ducting installed.
