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.
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.
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 complaint with the applicable legislation.

The electrical technical data can be found inside the rangehood, after removing the grease lters.
The exible power cables supplied are already connected internally and emerges from the rangehood near the
air outlet tube.
Before installing the electrical connections, you should:
• Verify that the indicated electrical data coincides with the voltage values and frequency of the electrical
circuit in the house where the rangehood is to be installed.
• Check that the premises has electrical protection against short circuits and electrocution.
• Before commencing maintenance the current must be turned o using the double-pole switch (mains power
switch). The power can only be turned on for normal use, once the operation has been completed.

Match the Rangehood Size to your Cooktop
Product Use
The Rangehood has one mode of operation:
Air extraction: The air is drawn in by the rangehood, ltered through the grease lters, and then expelled
outside. Please check the cleaning and maintenance section for advice on the lter’s cleaning schedule.
This product is designed for household use and must not be used for commercial applications.
After use, always ensure that all controls are in the “OFF” position.
Never ambé any food beneath the rangehood.
Always switch o the power source and unplug the connection before conducting maintenance
or cleaning.
Respect the cleaning frequencies and intervals for changing the lters, otherwise, the accumulated grease
could cause a re or damage to the appliance.
Changes made to the steel surface will render the warranty invalid.
In addition to the size of the rangehood, the height of the rangehood above the cooktop is important to obtain
the best performance.
For recommended heights, please refer to Mounting Laws and Regulations.
Rangehood same size as
cooking zone

Mounting Laws and Regulations
• The location of the installation must have permanent openings for ventilation.
• Regulations concerning the expelling of air must be fullled.
• It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that the rangehood be installed centrally over the cooktop, this will greatly
improve its performance.
Minimum and maximum heights (cooktop-to-canopy) are legally required, and recommended for optimum
rangehood performance in an indoor kitchen
Type of Cooktop Min. Height Max. Height Notes
Electric 650mm 750 to 800mm Installation heights above 800mm
will compromise extraction.
Gas 650mm 750 to 800mm
Installation Height for Induction Cooktop
Type of Cooktop Min. Height* Max. Height Notes
Induction 700mm 800mm * Schweigen’s recommended height will help avoid condensation,
particular to cooking with an Induction Cooktop. Refer to additional
notes.
DANGER
Always switch o and disconnect main power before installing the rangehood. Failure to do so may
cause serious injury.
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 both the minimum and
maximum installation height, and the
regulations concerning the expelling of air,
and install your rangehood in accordance.

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.
*Overhead cabinets standard depth are approximately 300-310mm. This provides poor extraction
for the rangehood as the surface area of the cooktop is not covered, particularly the front burners.
