GENERAL
These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. Carefully read the following important information
regarding installation safety and maintenance . You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the
appliance.
It is most important that this instruction book be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the
appliance be sold or transferred , always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new
owner can get to know the function of the appliance and the relevant warnings .
The appliance has been designed for use in the ducted version (Fig.1B) and recirculated version (Fig.1A).
SAFETY PRECAUTION
1.Take care when the rangehood is operating in the same room as an open fireplace or burner that requires
air in the environment and uses an energy source other than electrical energy – this because the rangehood
removes air from the environment which a burner or fireplace may need for combustion. The negative pressure
in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar).
2. Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the rangehood.
3. Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.
4. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING !
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a danger hazard.
A) This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
B) Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
C) Do not check or remove the filters when the rangehood is operating.
D) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the rangehood.
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the overheated oil may become a fire hazard.
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
G) Do not touch lighting or adjacent areas when lighting is on - and for a period of time after using the light.
H) Avoid leaving cooktop on (gas and electric) without the saucepan covering the burner or cooking zone.
This is because heat transferring upwards to the rangehood will be damaging to the filters and a fire hazard.
I) Ensure adequate ventilation of the room where the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances
burning gas or other fuels. Exercise care when a rangehood is installed in an area where a gas burner is
operating. Depending on the size of the room, the rangehood may draw from the room air that is necessary
for proper combustion of the burner.
J) Ensure the rangehood is cleaned frequently.
L) There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
M) For any repairs always contact an authorised Technical Customer Service Centre and ask for original
spare parts. Repairs by untrained people may lead to damage and void warranty.
Warnings for Installation:
a) The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances
burning gas or other fuels.
b) The minimum distance from the cooktop surface and the lowest par t of the range hood must not be less
than 65cm. If the instructions for the cooktop specify a greater distance, please consider this.
c) The regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air have to be fulfilled.
d) All Blanco rangehoods are used for indoor application/installation only.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out by specialised personnel.
• Electric Connection
The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary.
The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral
If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load indicated on the description label. Where a plug is
provided, the cooker hood must be installed in order that the plug is easily accessible.
An omnipolar switch with a minimum opening of 3mm between contacts, in line with the electrical load and
local standards, must be placed between the appliance and the network in the case of direct connection to
the electrical network.
• The distance between the surface supporting the cooking containers on the cooking device and the bottom
of the kitchen hood must be a minimum of 65 cm (if it is a gas hob) and 45 cm (if it is an electric or induction
heating system hob).
If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be placed outside the lower part.
Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same conductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating
fumes from other appliances generated by other than an electrical source.
• In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.
• We recommend the use of an air exhaust pipe with a diameter of 150. If a pipe with a smaller diameter is
used, the efficiency of the product may be reduced and its operation may become noisier
• Before starting to fix the hood, disconnect the anti-grease filter B (Fig.6) for easier appliance handling.
Before this operation, perform the following steps depending on the model purchased:
MODEL 2
Open panel C as shown in Fig.4.
Pull handle B as shown in Fig.6.
If the appliance has a lid, remove it by removing the 4 screws B as shown in Fig.9A.
• FIXING TO THE WALL
Mark the position of the lower side of the hood on the wall (Fig.2A). Maintain the minimum distance required
from the hob as shown in Fig.2B.
- Position the fixing template on the wall, making sure that the line coincides with the line previously made on
the wall.
- Mark the fixing holes and cut them into the material (Fig.3).
- Fix the 2 top screws K and screw anchors (Fig.3), without tightening them completely.
- Place the appliance against the wall, align it in horizontal position and tighten screws K (Fig.7).
- Once the adjustment has been completed, fix the hood using the 2 screws C (Fig.8).
- When carrying out the fixing operations, use only screws and screw anchors suited to the type of wall (e.g.
reinforced concrete, plasterboard etc.).
- If the screws and screw anchors are supplied with the appliance, make sure that they are suited to the type
of wall to which the hood must be fixed.
• INSTALLATION OF MODELS WITHOUT FLUE
OPTION 1 - DUCTED
- Remove the 4 screws B as shown in (Fig.9A).
- Remove both grid E on the air outlet hole and lid M as shown in (Fig.9B).
- Connect the rangehood to the flexible hose (not supplied) and the duct to the air exhaust hole previously
prepared (Fig.9C).
- Fix the lid once again by using the 4 screws previously removed in (Fig.9A).
• INSTALLATION OF MODELS WITH FLUE
OPTION 2 - DUCTED
Make sure the electrical power supply is within the measurements of the decorative connector.
Adjust the width of the support bracket of the top connector (Fig.11C). Then fix it to the ceiling so that it is on
the same axis as the hood using screws A (Fig.11C) adhering to the distance from the ceiling shown in
(Fig.11B). Connect flange C to the air exhaust hole using flexible hose L (Fig.11D).
Slide the top duct into the bottom duct. Fix the bottom duct to the hood using screws B (supplied) (Fig.11E).
- 9 -
Pull out the top duct as far as the bracket and fix it using screws F (Fig.11C).
• RECIRCULATING RANGEHOOD
To replace the active carbon filter first remove the aluminium filter by pulling lever B outwards. The filters
must then be fitted to the suction inlet of the motor. To fit the filter it must be centred then rotated clockwise
90 degrees to lock (Fig.10).
• OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES - CARBON FILTER
If you have recirculated the rangehood, we recommend that you install carbon filters.
Order from your retailer.
Refer to figure 10 for installation.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking.
It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 15 minutes after cooking is terminated in order to
help eliminate rangehood vapours and odours.
The proper function of the rangehood is conditioned by the regularity of the maintenance operations, in
particular, the active carbon filter.
• The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air, and are therefore subject to
clogging according to the frequency of the use of the appliance.
In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommended to clean the filter every 2 months by carrying out the
following instructions:
- Remove the filters from the rangehood and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid detergent,
leaving to soak.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
- The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
The aluminium panels may alter in colour after several washes. This is not cause for customer complaint nor
replacement of panels.
• The active carbon filters help to purify the air that is replaced in the environment. The filters are not
washable nor re-useable and must be replaced at maximum every four months. The saturation of the active
carbon filter depends on the frequency of use of the appliance, by the type of cooking and the regularity of
cleaning the anti-grease filters.
• Clean the fan and other surfaces of the rangehood regularly using a cloth moistened with denatured
alcohol or non abrasive liquid detergent.
• The illumination installation is designed for use during cooking and not for prolonged general illumination of
the environment. Prolonged use of the illumination installation notably reduces the duration of the bulb.
• LIGHT REPLACEMENT - HALOGEN
12 volt 20 W Halogen.
Remove the glass retaining ring and glass.
Replace the globe with another of the same type.
Replace the glass and retaining ring.
CONTROLS : (Fig.13)
