We recommend this appliance be installed or repaired by a qualied Schweigen Home Appliances
technician.
Please see our website www.schweigen.com.au for a list of our recommended installers.
It is dangerous to modify any part of this appliance. Modication 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 qualied technician,
using materials that are complaint with the applicable legislation.
Schweigen will not be responsible for any installations executed by non-qualied technicians that fail to
heed the applicable legislation on electrical safety.
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.

2. Important safety information
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.

MATCH THE RANGEHOOD SIZE TO YOUR COOKTOP
It is important to make sure the rangehood is the correct size, the larger the surface area of your rangehood
the better extraction results, see diagram below.

In addition to the size of the rangehood, the height of the rangehood above the cooktop is important.
Mounting Laws and Regulations
Minimum and maximum heights (cooktop-to-canopy) are legally required. This rangehood is intended
for indoor kitchen use.
Type of CooktopMin. HeightOptimalMax. Height*
Electric1200mm1500mm1800mm
Gas1200mm1500mm1800mm
* Installation height exceeding 1800mm above the cooktop will reduce the eectiveness
of the air extraction rate.
• The location of the installation must have
permanent openings for ventilation.
• Regulations concerning the expelling
of air must be fullled.
• Please check all State and Federal Laws in relation
to the minimum and maximum heights, concerning
the expelling of air and install your rangehood in
accordance.
• It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that the rangehood
be installed centrally over the cooktop, this will
greatly improve its performance.

6. Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING
Always switch o and disconnect power to the rangehood before cleaning. The manufacturer is
exonerated from all responsibility in the event of re due to poor maintenance of the lters and
rangehood.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
Filters
• For this appliance to function eectively, 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 airow 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.
• In ceiling-mounted rangehoods, the doors or glass must be opened before accessing the lters.
• To remove the lter, press ‘Catch A’ towards the rear of the rangehood (removing the pins from the front
guide), ease down slightly and remove. To replace, perform the same operation but in reverse, see
gure 1.

6. Cleaning and maintenance
• If your model is equipped with the Balanced Aspiration System periodical cleaning is required.
The Balanced Aspiration plate can be removed by taking out the 6 screws shown in gure 2. Please make
sure it is fully dry before installing back to the rangehood.
• For an induction cooktop, please aim to clean the lters at least every 10 days, depending on frequency of
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, 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 replace the lters.
Surfaces
The surface of the rangehood can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft
sponge / cloth.
• Never use abrasive detergents, scouring pads, steel wool or solvents on ANY
part of this appliance.
• Rinse with clean water and ensure that the appliance is completely dry after
cleaning.
• For better results, you can use high quality cleaning and protection products
(eg. Steel Kleen) to clean your rangehood.
• Always make sure the appliance is completely dry after cleaning and never leave
wet, this may cause irreparable damage.
It is important to follow the direction of the surface grain with the cloth (refer to gure right).
Do not pour any liquid directly onto the rangehood, apply to a soft cloth rst.
The cloth must have no buttons, zips or fasteners that can scratch the surface.
It is strictly forbidden to use chemical solvents, aggressive, grainy or abrasive products, naphtha, alcohol or
similar products that could damage the surface of the rangehood.
The manufacturer will not be held responsible for functional or aesthetic damage caused by using
inadequate cleaning methods.
Cleaning the Interior
Clean the interior of the rangehood with a damp cloth and a neutral detergent or denatured alcohol.
NOTE: Do not use denatured alcohol on the exterior of the rangehood. Do not clean the electric parts or the
motor with liquids or solvents.

7. Troubleshooting
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.
• Quality of pots or cookware you are using – high quality is recommended.
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.
