BLANCO BRST90X (01) PDF Document

Please follow these safety precautions when operating your BLANCO BRST90X rangehood:

• Take care when the 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). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for safe operation.

• Before connecting the model to the electricity network, inspect the data plate inside the appliance to ensure the voltage and power correspond to the network and the socket is suitable.

• 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, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.

• There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.

• Ensure that the rangehood 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 rangehood.

When installing your BLANCO BRST90X, please adhere to 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.

• Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

The BLANCO BRST90X is 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. In the case of a direct connection to the electrical network, an omnipolar switch with a minimum opening of 3mm between contacts must be placed between the appliance and the network, in line with the electrical load and local standards.

The BLANCO BRST90X must be fitted to a cupboard or other suitable support. To mount the rangehood on the lower side of the cupboard, follow these steps:

1. Use 4 screws suitable for the cupboard, using the holes indicated in Fig.1 of the manual.

2. When mounting, align the front of the rangehood with the door of the cupboard.

3. Regulate the L wall spacer through the screws marked P (Fig. 2).

4. The rear of the appliance must then align with the cupboard.

For the extraction version, the BLANCO BRST90X expels fumes through an outside wall or a duct. You will need to purchase a telescopic pipe in accordance with the standards in use and connect it to flange B (as shown in Fig. 3-4).

To transform the rangehood 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 reusable and must be replaced at least every 4 months.

To install the filter:

1. Remove the grill (G) as shown in Fig. 2.

2. Fit the filter to the motor in the center of the fan grille by twisting it 90 degrees until it is securely gripped.

The clean air is returned into the room through a connecting tube passing inside the cupboard and connected to the ring B (Fig. 1).

When incorporating a rangehood in the design of a kitchen, consider the following points to achieve the most benefit:

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 manufacturer’s 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.

• 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 filter.

• 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 filter at a maximum of every 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 them to soak.

– Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.

– The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher. The aluminium panels may alter in colour after several washes, which is not a 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 a maximum of every four months. The saturation of the active carbon filter depends on the frequency of use of the appliance, the type of cooking, and the regularity of cleaning the aluminium filters.

To replace lamps (as shown in Fig. 5A), only use lamps of the same type and wattage installed on the device.

For the 12 volt 20 W Halogen lamp (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.

For other halogen lamps, use a small blade to remove the metal surround holding the glass in place. The lamp can then be pulled outward from its socket.

The push-button controls operate 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 seconds 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 returns to the original speed. During this function, the display blinks.

Key E: Activates the Timer for 15 minutes, after which the functions 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 will be visualized on the display. When this time has passed, the motor switches off and the fixed letter “C” will be visualized on the display until the motor re-starts after 50 minutes for another 10 minutes, and so on. To return to normal functioning, press any key apart from the light keys. Press key E to deactivate the function.

The display indicates when filters need attention:

• When display item C flashes, alternating with the letter F (e.g., 1 and F), the anti-grease filters must be washed.

• When display item C flashes, alternating with the letter A (e.g., 1 and A), the active carbon filters must be replaced or washed, depending on the type of filter.

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.

A1 = Off key (for light)

A2 = On key (for light)

C = Speed control
