• Low speed for simmering.
• Medium speed for light cooking.
• High speeds are for heavy frying or heavy cooking.
Electrical Tactile Keypad
To obtain the best performance, switch the
rangehood on a few minutes prior to cooking and
leave running for at least 10 minutes after you
have nished cooking.
The buttons have the following functions:
A.- Timer: When this function is activated, the
blue light will ash on the timer button. The
rangehood continues to operate for 10-15 minutes
at the required speed and then automatically
switches the motor o.
B.- Increase speed: This button increases the
aspiration speed. When at maximum speed, the
blue light will ash.
C.- ON / OFF: This button turns the rangehood on
and o. The rangehood will always turn on at the
same speed at which is was turned o.
D.- Reduce speed: This button reduces the
aspiration speed. When in operation, the low
speed button will be blue.
E.- Light: Press this button to turn the lights on
and o. When it is operating, the light is blue.
This rangehood has a device that lets you know

Side View
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.
Page 13
Page 14
INSTALLATION
DANGER
Always switch o and disconnect mains power before installing the rangehood.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
MOUNTING LAWS AND REGULATIONS
It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that the rangehood be installed centrally over the cooktop. This will greatly
improve its performance.
Minimum height from the hob top surface to the underside face of the rangehood:
• 650mm electric cooktop
• 650mm gas cooktop
Any installation above 800mm will compromise the extraction performance.
Note: If the instructions for the gas cooktop specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account.
RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION HEIGHT FOR INDUCTION COOKTOP
To help avoid condensation, particular to cooking with an induction cooktop, Schweigen recommends
a minimum height of 700mm. Refer to page 20 for further information.
*IMPORTANT: If the user decides to install the
rangehood at a distance of less than minimum
height above the cooking surface, Schweigen
declines responsibility for damages suered
by the rangehood due to excess heat or damage
to objects, people and others caused directly
or indirectly by a malfunction, breakage or re.
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 the minimum–maximum heights,
regulations concerning the expelling of air and install your rangehood in accordance
with local laws and regulations.

INSTALLATION
Please DO NOT crush or kink the ducting.
1. Crushed or kinked ducting creates sharp
corners that creates turbulence. This
reduces the size and eciency of the
ducting, lowers extraction and may
cause excessive noise.
2. Sweeping curves and taut ducting reduces
resistance and turbulence. The airow
and extraction will be more ecient
and stronger.

CONDENSATION INFORMATION
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 the
accelerated process, the rangehood lters do not
have enough time to warm up, 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 – an ‘S’ bend is preferred.
• Filter size – larger rangehood preferred,
as it will have a larger lter extraction area.
How to reduce the possibility of condensation
forming:
• Ensure the rangehood is installed by a qualied
professional, carefully following the 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 airow in the cooking zone; this
helps optimise the rate of extraction.
• Follow all induction cooktop manufacturer’s
advice.
• Install at recommended height above induction
cooktop.
For further tips or information regarding cooking
with induction, please contact the induction
cooktop manufacturer.
• Quality of pots or cookware you are using –
high quality is recommended.
