GENERAL
These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. Carefully read the following important information regarding
installation safety and maintenance. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.
It is most important that this instruction book be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the
appliance be sold or transferred, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new
owner can get to know the function of the appliance and the relevant warnings.
The appliance has been designed for use in the ducted version (Fig.1B) and recirculated version (Fig.1A).
SAFETY PRECAUTION
1. Take care when the rangehood is operating in the same room as an open replace or burner that requires
air in the environment and uses an energy source other than electrical energy – this is because the rangehood
removes air from the environment which a burner or replace may need for combustion. The negative pressure
in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar).
2. Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the rangehood.
3. Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.
4. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its authorised service centre or a
similarly licensed person in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING!
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a danger hazard.
A) This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervised or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a responsible person for their safety.
B) Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
C) Do not check or remove the lters when the rangehood is operating.
D) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the rangehood.
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the overheated oil may become a re hazard.
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
G) Do not touch lighting or adjacent areas when lighting is on - and for a period of time after using the light.
H) Avoid leaving cooktop on (gas and electric) without the saucepan covering the burner or cooking zone. This
is because heat transferring upwards to the rangehood will be damaging to the lters and a re hazard.
I) Ensure adequate ventilation of the room where the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burn-
ing gas or other fuels. Exercise care when a rangehood is installed in an area where a gas burner is operating.
Depending on the size of the room, the rangehood may draw from the room air that is necessary for proper
combustion of the burner.
J) Ensure the rangehood is cleaned frequently for optimal performance.
L) There is a risk of re if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
M) For any repairs always contact an authorised Technical Customer Service Centre and ask for original spare
parts. Repairs by untrained people may lead to damage and will void warranty.
N) Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used with a cooking appliance.
Warnings for Installation:
a) The exhaust air must not be discharged into a ue which is used for exhausting fumes from other appliances
burning gas or other fuels.
b) The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the cooktop and the
lowest part of the rangehood:
* When the rangehood is located above a gas appliance, this distance shall be 65 cm. If the instructions for
installation for the gas cooktop specify greater distance, this must be taken into account. (The distance of 65
cm can be reduced for non combustible parts of rangehoods and parts operating at safety extra low voltage
provided these parts do not give access to live parts if deformed). Distance may be reduced to 60 cm to align
with the AGA code.
c) The regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air have to be fullled.
d) All Blanco rangehoods are used for indoor application/installation only.
e) Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fullled.
f) After installation and removal of protective layer it is recommended to clean the rangehood with a stainless
steel cleaner.

Other Information:
This appliance conforms to the European Directive EC/2002/96, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE). By making sure that this appliance is disposed of in a suitable manner, the user is helping to prevent
potential damage to the environment or to public health.
The symbol on the product or on the packaging label on the carton indicates that the appliance should not
be treated as domestic waste.
When disposing of your appliance, contact your local council in relation to disposal locations.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Any electrical work must be undertaken by a licensed electrician. It is dangerous to alter specications in any
way.
Ensure that all packaging, both inside and outside the rangehood, has been removed before it is used.
After installation, please dispose of the packaging with due regard to safety and the environment.
• ElectricConnection
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 rating label. Where a plug is provided,
the cooker hood must be installed in order that the plug is easily accessible.
An omnipolar switch with a minimum opening 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.
Before proceeding with the assembly operations, remove the anti-grease lter(s) (Fig.5) so that the unit is easier
to handle.
In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.
• We recommend the use of an air exhaust pipe with a diameter of 150. If a pipe with a smaller diameter is used,
the eciency of the product may be reduced and its operation may become noisier.
• Fixingtothewall
Depending on the installation use screws and screw anchors suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete,
plasterboard, etc.). If the screws and screw anchors are provided with the product, check that they are suitable
for the type of wall on which the hood is to be xed.
Drill suitable holes A as per the dimension indicated (Fig.2) Fix the appliance to the wall and align it in hori-
zontally.
Secure the hood to the wall using screws A through the holes in the hood in the position shown (Fig.4).
• Fixingthedecorativetelescopicue
Arrange the electrical power supply within the area of the decorative ue. If your appliance is to be installed in
the ducting version or in the version with external motor, prepare the air exhaust opening.
Adjust the width of the support bracket of the upper ue (Fig.3) x it to the wall using the screws A (Fig.3) so it
is in line with your hood and is 20 mm from the ceiling as indicated in Fig.2.
Connect the ange C to the air exhaust hole using a connection pipe (Fig.4). Insert the upper ue into the lower
ue and rest above the frame. Extract the upper ue up to the bracket and x it with the screws B (Fig.3).
To transform the hood from a ducting version to re-circulating, please follow the instructions below. Charcoal
lters are available as an optional extra.
• Recirculatingversion
Install the hood and the two ues as described in the paragraph for installation of the hood in ducting version.
Assemble the charcoal lters refer to the instructions contained in the kit. The lters must be applied to the
suction unit positioned inside the hood. They must be centered by turning them 90 degrees until the stop catch
is tripped (Fig.6). Charcoal lters are available from your retail outlet. Product Code: ACK62836

Additional Installation Notes.
Rangehoodsmaybeductedintwoways:
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 maximum 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 considered to
achieve the most benet 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 ue pipe. PVC pipe is not
recommended.
3. Ducting containing a 90° degree bend will encounter a loss in eciency 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 specication.
5. We recommend carbon lters be used when re-circulating the air into the room. There will be some loss of
air movement when carbon lters are tted.
The following diagrams are examples of installations:
