Blanco BRC90BX, Use And Care And Installation Instructions

Page: 7 / 13

When incorporating a rangehood in the design of a kitchen the following points need to be considered
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 appliance in operation for 15 minutes after cooking is terminated in order to
minimise cooking vapours and odours.
The proper function of the cooker hood is conditioned by the regularity of the maintenance operations, in
particular, the active carbon filter.
• The aluminium grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air. The filters are therefore
subject to clogging according to the frequency of the use of the appliance.
In order to prevent a fire hazard, it is recommended to clean the filters every 2 months by carrying out the
following instructions:
- Remove the aluminium filters from the range hood and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid
detergent, leave to soak.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
- The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
The aluminium filters may alter in colour after several washes. This is not cause for customer complaint nor
replacement of panels.
