4. Operation
Schweigen silent rangehoods are recognised for their silent operation. Although this holds true for all
of our rangehoods with external motors, one must note that the rangehoods are silent when they are
used for regular cooking on the lower fan setting. Therefore, you will only hear the movement of air.

Speed Control
This undermount is equipped with a 5 speed push button control. Speed control usage suggestions:
• Low speed for simmering.
• Medium speed for light cooking.
• High speed for heavy frying or heavy cooking.
Cleaning periods of metal lters — “C” Signal
Filter should be cleaned when “C” signal appears on the display on average this is every 4 to 5 weeks
(or in accordance with the usage frequency). In order to remove “C” signal, after the lters are cleaned
and placed back to their place, press
123

position. The Letter “E” will appear on display and the product will operate as normal.
If you would like to continue using the product without deleting “C” signal, when you press the
1 2 3
button active speed will appear for 1 second, then “C” signal will appear once more and the motor
will continue operating.

In order to use the rangehood eciently:
• Pay attention to metal lters’ cleaning periods.
• Use the product at medium speed if high suction power is not necessary.
• In order to ensure that ventilation occurs correctly, windows of the kitchen should be kept closed.

5. Cleaning & Maintenance
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 (e.g. Steel Kleen) 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
Filters
For this appliance to function eectively, regular maintenance is a must.
• The function of the lter is to absorb the grease particles given o during cooking.
• Clogged 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.
• For induction cooktop, please aim to clean them at least every 10 days, depending on use.
• The lters 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 lters are completely dry before placing them back in position
and operating the rangehood.
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.
To remove the lter press handle and remove
it through the front guide; bend it slightly and
remove lter. To replace, perform the same
operation but in reverse.
