Therefore, you will only hear the movement of air.

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.

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 of between 700-750mm.

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 e ciency of the ducting, lowers extraction and may cause excessive noise. 2. Sweeping curves and taut ducting reduces resistance and turbulence.
6. Installation System Overview 1. Isodrive ® Motor 2. Roof Seal Kit (Dektite) (Not supplied)* 3. Support Straps (Not supplied)* 4. Attach Duct to Bell-Mouth Adaptor using ring clamp. Please DO NOT rip the ducting. 5. Isodrive ® Motor Power Lead (Plug) 6.
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 lters do not have enough time to warm, which increases the chance of condensation forming.
