Product Description

Product Overview:

At 1800mm wide, the Schweigen Design Nexus is conceived as a major island feature rather than a conventional rangehood. Its broad, level canopy creates a dramatic architectural plane above the benchtop and provides usable space for compatible modular accessories.

The integrated brushless motor delivers up to 1080m³/h airflow, while Gesture Control, remote operation and four extraction levels support intuitive everyday ventilation. Two fine-mesh filters extend grease capture across the generous canopy.

A 12W square Warm2Cold LED shifts from warm 2900K ambience to cool 6000K task light. Optional glass hangers and cup hooks can be integrated to personalise the system, making Nexus particularly suited to social kitchens where cooking, serving and entertaining meet.

Product Features:

• 1800mm modular island canopy: Creates a broad architectural plane with space for compatible accessory integration.
• 1080m³/h airflow: Provides powerful onboard extraction over the island cooking area.
• Brushless onboard motor: Supports energy-efficient operation within the canopy.
• Gesture and remote control: Enables convenient touch-free adjustment while cooking or entertaining.
• Square Warm2Cold LED: 12W lighting adjusts between 2900K and 6000K.
• Dual fine-mesh filters: Two removable filters support grease capture across the wider hood.
• Optional modular accessories: Compatible glass hangers and cup hooks can personalise the Nexus system.

Colour / Finishes:

• Black

Programmes / Functions:

• Four extraction levels: Select from three regular fan speeds plus boost; boost automatically returns to level 3 after five minutes.
• Gesture Control: Operate the motor speeds and lighting without touching the rangehood.
• Remote control: Adjust extraction, lighting and timer functions conveniently from around the kitchen.
• Warm2Cold lighting: Adjust the LED colour temperature from warm 2900K illumination to cool 6000K task lighting.
• Three-stage light dimming: Select from three lighting intensity levels to suit cooking, dining or ambient use.
• 10-minute timer: Set the rangehood to continue extracting for 10 minutes before switching off automatically.

Cleaning & Maintenance:

• Fine-mesh filter care: Remove and clean the grease filter approximately every 3-6 weeks or after around 40 operating hours, depending on cooking frequency.
• Dishwasher cleaning: Use a short, low-temperature dishwasher programme or wash the filter carefully by hand.
• Induction cooking: More frequent filter cleaning may be needed where induction cooking produces heavier condensation.
• Canopy care: Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent, following the direction of the finish.
• Protect the controls and finish: Avoid abrasive pads, harsh chemicals and excess moisture around the controls and electrical components.

• Cooktop positioning: Centre the rangehood over the cooking surface to support effective capture of steam, smoke and airborne grease.
• Minimum clearance: Allow at least 600mm above an electric cooktop or 650mm above a gas cooktop, unless the cooktop manufacturer requires more.
• Induction guidance: Schweigen recommends at least 700mm above induction cooking surfaces to help manage condensation.
• Ducting: Use 150mm ducting vented outdoors. Keep the ducting taut, avoid reductions and restrictive bends, and limit the run to approximately 4 metres where practical.
• Service access: Keep controls, electrical components and connection points accessible for future servicing.

Country of Origin:

• Made in Europe.
