Why Flexi-duct
Someinternetsitesstronglyrecommendtheuseofrigidductingoverfullyexibleducting.Thismay
well be the case with conventional rangehoods with internal motor rangehood.
Schweigen’s unique Hi Flow system works in the opposite way to conventional rangehoods, pulling
air through the hood and acoustically-matched ducting which results in almost silent, high volume
ow. Using a completely rigid or semi-rigid ducting system creates an undesirable ‘organ-pipe’ sound
effect similar to that of a didgeridoo, where noise is produced at one end then amplied at the
other.
The Hi Flow system eliminates any produced noise by externalising it.
Warning: Installation without the use of at least the minimum recommended length of acoustically
matched exi-ducting in the system will void performance expectations. Any installation problem
must be reported to Schweigen. Call outs relating to incorrect installation will result in a service fee
direct to the customer. Schweigen takes no responsibility for problems caused by faulty installation
and may void warranty. A preferred installer list can be obtained from Schweigen website
