Installation
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.
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 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.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking. It is recommended to leave the appliance 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 regularity of the maintenance operations,
in particular, the active carbon lter.
• The aluminium lters 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 re hazard, it is recommendable to clean the aluminium lter at a maximum of 2 months by
carrying out the following instructions:
-Remove the aluminium lters from the rangehood and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid
detergent, leaving to soak.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
-The lters 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 lters purify the air that is replaced in the environment. The carbon lters are not washable
nor re-useable and must be replaced at maximum every four months. The saturation of the active carbon lter
depends on the frequency of use of the appliance, by the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning the
aluminium lters.
• 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 illumination 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.
• Replacing the halogen/incandescent lamps (Fig.5A):
Only use lamps of the same type and wattage installed on the device.
• Light replacement - halogen (Fig.5B)
12 volt 20 W Halogen.
Remove the glass retaining ring and glass.
Replace the globe with another of the same type.
Replace the glass and retaining ring.
