BLANCO BRS60W (01) PDF Document

When using your BLANCO BRS60W rangehood, please adhere to the following 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.

Take care when the BLANCO BRS60W rangehood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depends on the air in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical energy. The rangehood removes air from the environment which a burner or fireplace needs for combustion. The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4×10-5 bar). You must provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the rangehood and follow local laws applicable for external air evacuation.

For the installation of your BLANCO BRS60W, please observe the following warnings:

• 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.

The BLANCO BRS60W has been manufactured as a class II appliance, so 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 so 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.

The BLANCO BRS60W must be fitted to a cupboard or other suitable support. For fixing, use 4 screws suitable for the cupboard, using the holes indicated in Fig. 1 of the manual. 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 appliance must then align with the cupboard.

For extraction mode, the BLANCO BRS60W expels fumes through an outside wall or a duct. It is necessary to purchase a telescopic pipe in accordance with the standards in use and connect it to flange B (Fig. 3-4).

To transform the BLANCO BRS60W from the extraction version to the recirculating one, you will need an activated carbon filter. This filter cleans the air in the room. It is not washable or re-usable and must be replaced at least every 4 months. The filter must be fitted to the motor in the centre of the fan grille by twisting it 90 degrees until it is securely gripped. To do this, remove the grill (G) as shown in fig. 2. The clean air is returned into the room through a connecting tube passing inside the cupboard and connected to the ring B (Fig. 1).

To achieve the most benefit from your BLANCO BRS60W rangehood when ducting, consider the following points:

1. Ducting from the rangehood carrying the exhaust air should not exceed a length of three (3) metres.

2. For ducted installation, it is recommended to use 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 manufacturer’s specification.

5. It is recommended that 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.

• It is recommended to operate the BLANCO BRS60W prior to cooking and to leave it in operation for 15 minutes after cooking is terminated to completely eliminate cooking vapours and odours.

• The proper function of the rangehood is conditioned by the regularity of maintenance operations, particularly the active carbon filter and the aluminium grease 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 illumination of the environment. Prolonged use of the lighting notably reduces the duration (life) of the bulb.

To prevent fire hazard, it is recommended to clean the aluminium filters on your BLANCO BRS60W at a maximum of 2 months by carrying out the following instructions:

– Remove the aluminium filters 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 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 on your BLANCO BRS60W are not washable nor re-usable and must be replaced at maximum every four months. The saturation 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 aluminium filters.

For replacing lamps as shown in Fig.5A, only use lamps of the same type and wattage installed on the device.

For replacing the 12 volt 20 W halogen light as shown in Fig.5B:

1. Remove the glass retaining ring and glass.

2. Replace the globe with another of the same type.

3. Replace the glass and retaining ring.

The push-button controls (Fig. 6) on your BLANCO BRS60W function as follows:

Push-button A = On/off lights switch.

Push-button B = On/off cooker hood switch. The appliance switches on at speed level 1. If the cooker hood is on, depress the push-button for 2 sec. to switch off the cooker hood. If the cooker hood is at speed level 1 it will not be necessary to depress the push-button to switch the cooker hood off. This button also decreases the motor speed.

Display C = Indicates the motor speed level selected and activates the timer.

Push-button D = Switches on the cooker hood and increases the motor speed. Touching the key at 3rd speed activates the intensive function, which runs for 10 minutes, then the appliance goes 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 on your BLANCO BRS60W 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 indicators on your BLANCO BRS60W signal when filters need attention:

• Anti-grease filter saturation: When display item C flashes, at a speed where it alternates with the letter F (e.g. 1 and F), the anti-grease filters must be washed.

• Active charcoal filter saturation: When display item C flashes, at a speed where it alternates with the letter A (e.g. 1 and A), the active carbon filters must be replaced or washed depending on the type of filter.

• Resetting the memory: 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.

The slider controls (Fig. 7) on your BLANCO BRS60W are explained below:

A = Light switch

A1 = Off key

A2 = On key

C = Speed control

C1 = Off key

C2 = FIRST SPEED key

C3 = SECOND SPEED key

C4 = THIRD SPEED key.
