GENERAL
Carefully read the following important information regarding installation safety and maintenance.
Keep this information booklet accessible for further consultations. The appliance has been designed
as a exhausting version (external exhaust) or as a filter version (internal air recycle) rangehood.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
1. Take care when the rangehood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that
depend on the air in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical energy, as the cooker
hood removes the air from the environment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The
negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4x10 -5 bar). Provide adequate ventila-
tion in the environment for a safe operation of the rangehood. Follow the local laws applicable for
external air evacuation.
Before connecting the model to the electricity network:
-Inspect the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to ascertain that the voltage and power
correspond to the network and the socket is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician.
General Warnings.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the same time as
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• Ensure that the range hood is cleaned frequently.
• There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
• Do not flambé under the range hood.
Warnings for Installation:
• The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• The minimum distance between the support surfaces of the cooking pots on the cooker top and the
lowest part of the rangehood must be at least 65 cm.
• The regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air have to be fulfilled.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Electric Connection
The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary. The
connection to the mains is carried out as follows: BROWN = L line BLUE = N neutral If not provided,
connect a plug for the electrical load indicated on the description label. Where a plug is provided, the
rangehood must be installed in order that the plug is easily accessible. An omnipolar switch with a
minimum aperture of 3mm between contacts, in line with the electrical load and local standards, must
be placed between the appliance and the network in the case of direct connection to the electrical
network.
• If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be placed outside the lower
part. Do not connect the rangehood exhaust to the same conductor used to circulate hot air or for
evacuating fumes from other appliances generated by other than an electrical source.
• INSTALLATION.
The following instruction should be followed to carry out the correct installation of the cooker hood.
1) Mounting of the rangehood on the lower side of the cupboard.
2) Selection of the version (extraction or filtration) Mounting the rangehood on the lower side of the
cupboard.
This appliance must be fitted to a cupboard or other suitable support. For fixing use 4 screws suitable
for the cupboard, using the hole in Fig.1. When mounting align the front of the rangehood to the door
of the cupboard and regulate the L wall spacer through the screws marked P (Fig. 2). The rear of the
- 7 -
appliance must then align with the cupboard.
• EXTRACTION THROUGH AN OUTSIDE WALL
The appliance expels the fumes through an outside wall or a duct. It is necessary to buy a telescopic
pipe in accordance with the standards in use (not inflammable with diameter 150mm) and connect it
to flange F (Fig. 3).
• RECIRCULATION
To transform the rangehood from the extraction version to the re circulating one ask your supplier for
an activated carbon filter. The activated carbon filter cleans the air of the room. This filter is not
washable or re-usable and must be substituted at least every 4 months. Saturation of the activated
charcoal depends on how often the appliance is used, the type of kitchen and how regularly the
grease filters cleaned. The filter must be fitted to the extracting group rangehood in the centre of the
fan grille by twisting it by 90 degrees until it is gripped securely. For this operation remove the grill G
(Fig. 2). The clean air is returned into the room through a connecting tube passing inside the cup-
board and connected to the ring F (Fig. 4).

Installation
Exercise care when a rangehood is installed in an area where a gas burner is operating. Depend-
ing on the size of the room, the rangehood may draw from the room air that is necessary for
proper combustion of the burner. All Blanco rangehoods are used for indoor application only.
Rangehoods may be installed in two ways:
1. Ducted to the atmosphere (outside).
2. Recirculating.
We recommend ducting to the atmosphere to ensure optimum performance. Recirculating the air
back into the room should only be used when outside extraction is not possible. To ensure maxi-
mum performance when ducting it is important the ducting that carries the fumes away, be as
short and as straight as possible.
When incorporating a rangehood in the design of a kitchen the following points need to be consid-
ered to achieve the most benefit from the rangehood.
1. Ducting from a rangehood carrying the exhaust air, should not exceed a length of three (3)
metres.
2. For ducted installation we recommend using galvanised or similar metal type flue pipe. PVC pipe
is not recommended.
3. Ducting containing a 90° degree bend will encounter a loss in efficiency of approximately 35%.
Additional 90° degree bends can cause losses of up to 15% per bend.
4. Ducting size should always comply with the manufacturers specification.
5. We recommend carbon filters be used when re-circulating the air into the room. There will be
some loss of air movement when carbon filters are fitted.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking. It is recommended to leave the ap-
pliance in operation for 15 minutes after cooking is terminated in order to completely eliminate
cooking vapours and odours. The proper function of the rangehood is conditioned by the regular-
ity of the maintenance operations, in particular, the active carbon filter.
• The aluminium filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air, and are therefore subject
to clogging according to the frequency of the use of the appliance. In order to prevent fire hazard,
it is recommendable to clean the filter at a maximum of 2 months by carrying out the following in-
structions:
-Remove the filters from the rangehood and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid de-
tergent, leaving to soak.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
-The aluminium filters may also be washed in the dishwasher. The aluminum panels may alter in
colour after several washes. This is not cause for customer complaint nor replacement of panels.
• The active carbon filters purify the air that is replaced in the environment. The carbon filters are
not washable nor re-useable and must be replaced at maximum every four months. The satura-
tion of the active carbon filter depends on the frequency of use of the appliance, by the type of
cooking and the regularity of cleaning the filters.
• Clean the fan and other surfaces of the rangehood regularly using a cloth moistened with a non
abrasive liquid detergent.
• The rangehood lighting is designed for use during cooking and not for prolonged general illumina-
tion of the environment. Prolonged use of the lighting notably reduces the duration (life) of the bulb.
• To replace the halogen lamp. With a small blade, remove the metal surround holding the glass in
place. The lamp can be pulled outward from its socket.
COMMANDS: (Fig.5)

- 9 -
press the touch control “B” for 2 seconds.
Display C = indicates the motor speed level selected and activates the timer.
Push-button D = switches on the cooker hood. Increases the motor speed. Touching the key at 3rd
speed, the intensive function runs for 10', then the appliance go back to work at the original speed.
During this function the display blinks.
Key E = The Timer times the functions on activation for 15 minutes, after which they are switched off.
The Timer is deactivated by re-pressing Key E. When the Timer is activated the decimal point must
flash on the display. The Timer cannot be activated if the intensive speed is functioning.
The “clean air” function is activated by pressing key E for 2 seconds when the appliance is switched
off. This switches the motor on for 10 minutes every hour at the first speed. During functioning a
rotary movement of the peripheral segments must be visualised on the display. When this time has
passed the motor switches off and the fixed letter “C” must be visualised on the display until the
motor re-starts after 50 minutes for another 10 minutes and so on. Press any key apart from the light
keys to return to normal functioning. Press key E to deactivate the function.
• The “automatic stop timer” delays stopping of the hood, which will continue functioning for 15
minutes at the operating speed set at the time this function is activated.
• Active carbon/grease filter saturation:
- When display item C flashes, at a speed where it alternates with the letter F (e.g. 1 and F), the
grease filters must be washed.
- When display item C flashes, at a speed where it alternates with the letter A (e.g. 1 and A), the
carbon filters must be replaced.
After the clean filter has been positioned correctly, the electronic memory must be reset by pressing
button A for approximately 5 seconds, until the indication F or A shown on the display C stops
flashing.
