2. YOUR SAFETY

Product Use

This product is designed for household use and should not be used for commercial
applications.

After use, always ensure that all controls are in the “OFF” position.
When frying with a gas flame, take particular care not to allow the oil or grease in the pan to

catch fire. (Flambé)

Maintenance and Service

The rangehood surface should be cleaned with soft cloth and non-corrosive detergent. Do
not leave the rangehood wet after cleaning or use, please keep rangehood dry.

Important: Never attempt to repair this appliance by yourself. Always refer to a qualified
Service Technician.

Always switch off the electricity and unplug the connection before conducting maintenance
or cleaning.

Electrical Cord

Ensure the supply cord is not exposed to heat, chemicals or sharp objects. If the supply cord
is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.

3. TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

Condensation Information

The induction cooktop is designed to provide rapid heating, improved thermal efficiency and
greater heat consistency. For some customers with an induction cooktop, condensation can
form on their rangehood filters while using their cooktop.

The induction cooktops’ heat source is contained in the conductive base of the pot. When

compared with a gas, electric or wok burner, the heat is not isolated or contained to one area
and therefore gradually rises up on all sides of the pot or frypan. This combination allows the
rangehood filters to warm up slowly and eliminate the formation of condensation. For
induction cooktops, the immediate and contained heat source can produce vapours rapidly.
This prevents the filters from gradually warming up and increases the chance of
condensation forming.

There are many variables that can contribute to the condensation problem associated with
induction cooktops and rangehoods. Some of these variables include, but are not limited to:

- The Country or State you live in (example, WA versus VIC, and the variables in daily
temperatures)

- The position of your home and kitchen (morning/afternoon sun)

- The quality of pots and cookware you are using

- Height of rangehood

- Rapid heating

- Ducting angle

- Filter size

If induction rings, vitro-ceramic hobs and the like are not used correctly, they can lead to
problems with the condensation of liquids due to temperature differences. After some time in
use, these condensed liquids can build up and possibly appear on the metal filters or the
bottom of the rangehood.

For advice to avoid condensation, please refer to next page.

Page 9 of 40

3. TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

User advice to avoid condensation in the rangehood:

• The rangehood should be switched on approx. 10 minutes prior to cooking and the
delay shut down timer set after cooking has stopped in order to clear the fumes held
in the flue. These steps will help clear the flue out fully.

• Do not cook at full power straight away, i.e. start on low or medium power for a while
so that the steel in the rangehood can warm up.

• Filters must be kept clean. For induction cooktop users, aim to clean filters at least
every 10 days, and replace the filters if their condition begins to deteriorate.

• There must be a constant flow of air into the cooking area to avoid the creation of a
depression which can affect the rate of aspiration.

• Follow the advice from the instructions for induction systems with regards to the
condensation effect.

• Suggested height for induction cooktop is approx. 750mm above the cooking surface.

Each person’s circumstances are different, but the vast majority of induction cooktop owners

have had no problems with condensation. However, it is important to understand that:
Neither the rangehood nor the induction cooktop are faulty. That in some circumstances, the

combination of the rangehood, the induction cooktop and the many variables within your
home, can lead to condensation forming on your rangehood filters. With a gas or standard
electric cooktop, you should not have any condensation.

3. TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

The Rangehood has one mode of operation:
Air extraction: The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside.

Please check the cleaning and maintenance section for the filters’ cleaning periods.

For Users

1. Do not leave the frying pan or fryer unattended, as the oil could overheat and catch
on fire.

2. Never flambé any foods beneath the rangehood. The unprotected flames could
cause a fire.

3. Before carrying out any operations inside the rangehood, unplug the appliance from
the electrical mains.

4. Respect the cleaning frequencies and intervals for changing the filters, as otherwise
the accumulated grease could cause a fire or damage to the appliance.

5. Changes made to the steel surface will render the warranty invalid.

For Installers

1. In addition to the size, the height of the rangehood above the cooktop is important to
obtain the best performance.

2. For recommended height, please refer to Mounting Laws and Regulations.

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.

Electrical Tactile Keypad

To obtain the best performance, switch the rangehood on a few minutes prior to cooking and
leave it running for at least 10 minutes after you have finished cooking.

The rangehood has a 4-speed electronic keypad. The buttons have the following functions:
A.- Light switch: Press this switch to turn the lights on and off. When it is operating, the

light is blue.
B.- Low-speed button: This button reduces the aspiration speed. When it is operating, the

light is blue.
C.- ON / OFF button: This button turns the rangehood on and off. The rangehood will

always turn on at the same speed at which is was turned off at the last time of use.
D.- High-speed button: This button increases the aspiration speed. When it is operating,

the light is blue. When at maximum speed, the blue light will flash.
E.- Timer: When this function is activated, the blue light will flash on the timer button. The

rangehood continues to operate for a few minutes at the required speed and then
automatically switches off.

This rangehood has a device that lets you know when the grease filters must be changed.

When the lamp on button “E” flashes, this means the filters must be washed (usually every

40 hours of operation).
When the filters have been washed and re-mounted, hold the "E" button down for a few

seconds to reset it and return the counter down to zero.
