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.
5. Cleaning & Maintenance Warning Always switch off and disconnect power before cleaning. 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 Cleaning the Exterior We recommended using a soft cloth, water and a liquid soap, rinsing it well and then drying it thoroughly.

5. Cleaning & Maintenance Filters For this appliance to function effectively, regular maintenance is a must. • The function of the filter is to absorb the grease particles given off during cooking. • Clogged filters and heavy oil deposits restrict airflow and may cause the motor to overheat and become a fire hazard.
5. Cleaning & Maintenance Replacing the Lights Danger Always switch off and disconnect power before replacing the lights. Failure to do so may cause serious injury. Please be aware that the light bulb may retain heat for a short period of time after being switched off.

6. Installation Drop Down Side Doors This rangehood has drop down glass side doors allowing more control and optimised ventilation. They can deflect air that may interfere with rangehood extraction. Rangehood Size vs Cooktop Size In addition to the size, the height of the rangehood above the cooktop is important to obtain the best 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 height between 700-750mm. Refer to page 19 for further information.

6. Installation Ducting Please DO NOT crush or kink the ducting. 1. Crushed or kinked ducting creates sharp corners that creates turbulence. This reduces the size and efficiency of the ducting, lowers extraction and may cause excessive noise. 2. Sweeping curves and taut ducting reduces resistance and turbulence.

7. 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 this rapid process, the rangehood filters do not have enough time to warm, which increases the chance of condensation forming.

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Before you contact the technical service department, make sure that the product is plugged in and power is supplied. • Do not take any action that will damage the product. IMPORTANT Never attempt to repair this appliance by yourself. Always refer to a qualified Service Technician.
