Wall Mount Installation

Every wall mounted rangehood has two primary mounting points and several secondary mounting points to
rmly x the rangehood in its place.

Please ensure that the holes for the two primary mounting points are level before installation.

*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.

Danger

Always switch o and disconnect power before installing the rangehood. Failure to do so
may cause serious injury.

Mounting Laws and Regulations

To be installed in an undercover alfresco area and/or indoor kitchen
only. If the unit is not adequately covered or sheltered from the outside
elements the warranty will be null and void.

The rangehood must be located at the correct distance from the
work plan.

For indoor kitchen area:

• The minimum safety installation distance between the top of a cooktop and the lowest part of the

rangehood are as follows:

• Minimum installation height for electric cooktop is 650mm*.

• Minimum installation height for gas cooktop is 650mm*.

• Suggested height above an Induction Cooktop is 750-800mm. For more information please see

section Maintenance - Condensation Information*.

• There shall be adequate ventilation in the room when the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances

burning gas or other fuels.

• The location of the installation must have permanent openings for ventilation.

• Regulations concerning the expelling of air have to be fullled.

• It is strongly recommended that the rangehood be installed centrally over the cooktop.

4. Installation

Step 1

Before installing the undermount, make sure that none of the
parts are damaged in anyway. In case of damaged parts, contact
your retailer and do not proceed with installation.

Read all the following instructions with care before installing
the undermount.

• Use an air outlet pipe/duct of the shortest possible length.

• Limit the number of pipe bends.

• Use a material approved by standards and regulations.

• Avoid any sudden changes in pipe section (recommended

constant diameter: ø 200mm or equal).

Before carrying out installation, please remove the grease lter
in order to avoid possible damages to the undermount.

Cut a hole in the surface where the undermount should be
installed (265 x 832mm approx.).

Ducting Installation

For internal motor units, please install exible ducting with the least amount of bends possible, maximum
length of exible ducting should be no longer than 4 meters approximately. Do not apply bends at motor outlet
as it will restrict airow.

5. 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 emitted during cooking.

• Blocked 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.

• Disconnect the electrical connection before any maintenance or cleaning processes are carried out.

• To remove the lter, grab the handles pull forward the lter, lift it up slightly and push back. Then pull down

gently to release it. To replace, perform the same operation but in reverse.

• In ceiling-mounted rangehoods, the doors or glass must be opened before accessing the lters.

• For an 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 make sure the lters are dry before placing them back in position.

5. Maintenance

Replacing the Light Bulb

Step 2

Using the appropriate tools remove
the LED light strip from its slot.
Note: Please take extra care, and
make sure you do not damage the
rangehood.

Step 3

Take out the LED light strip from
its connector and replace. When
reinserting the LED strip gently
clip it back in place.

Step 1

Before replacing the LED lights,
please switch o the unit.

DANGER

Always switch o and disconnect the power cord before replacing any light bulbs. Failure to
do so may cause serious injury. Please be aware that the light bulb will retain heat for a short
period of time after being switched o.

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.

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 once a month at

normal operating conditions.

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.

A service request will require the following information:

• The purchase date

• The rangehood model and motor type (eg. Isodrive 650)

• The rangehood serial number or batch number (this number is on a sticker inside the rangehood)

• A copy of the purchase receipt (without a receipt your service request cannot be processed)

Faulty Installation

It is not the responsibility of Schweigen Home Appliances to rectify any incorrect installations. A service call
out fee will be charged for any Schweigen technician that attends a call, whereby it is established that the
fault is due to an incorrect installation or non-manufacturing fault. Should the appliance be installed in such
a way that the service agent is unable to gain access to the appliance, the person/s who own the premises
where the appliance resides — will be responsible to provide access to the appliance at their expense.
