Frequently Asked Questions - RWH3CH6SS Robinhood

How do I install the Robinhood RWH3CH6SS range hood?

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted securely to a wall stud or cabinet, and connect the ductwork to the 6-inch round outlet. For recirculating installations, install the charcoal filters. Refer to the manual for detailed step-by-step instructions.

Can this range hood be used without ducting to the outside?

Yes, the RWH3CH6SS is convertible. You can use it in recirculating mode by installing charcoal filters (sold separately) and routing the air back into the room.

How often should I clean the filters?

Clean the aluminum mesh filters every month with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. For recirculating mode, replace the charcoal filters every 6 to 12 months.

What is the noise level of this hood?

The noise level at maximum fan speed is approximately 65 dB, which is comparable to normal conversation. Lower speeds are quieter.

What type of light bulbs does it use?

The hood uses two GU10 LED bulbs, each 3 watts. They are dimmable and provide bright, energy-efficient lighting.

How do I reset the thermal overload switch?

If the hood shuts off unexpectedly, it may have tripped the thermal overload. Wait for the motor to cool down, then press the manual reset button located near the motor or inside the wiring compartment.

What is the maximum CFM rating?

The maximum airflow is 600 cubic feet per minute (CFM) on the highest speed setting, suitable for most residential kitchens.

Can I replace the aluminum mesh filters with other types?

Only use the specified Robinhood aluminum mesh filters designed for this model (part number may vary). Using non-approved filters may affect performance and safety.

Is the hood compliant with safety standards?

Yes, the RWH3CH6SS is ETL listed, indicating it meets North American safety standards for electrical and fire safety.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts such as filters, bulbs, and switches are available through Robinhood authorized dealers or online retailers. Refer to the manual for exact part numbers.

Overview

Pre-installation

Thank you for purchasing a quality Robinhood rangehood. Robinhood has a high standard of quality control and every rangehood is tested and approved before it leaves the factory.

Important:

• Please read the entire instructions before installing the rangehood.
• Always switch power off prior to installation.
• Stainless steel is very easily damaged during installation if abraded or knocked by tools. Protect the rangehood with the cardboard box or plastic bag during installation.
• All electrical work must be done in accordance with local and national electrical codes as applicable.
• For safety, this product must be earthed.
  ○ A power outlet should be within 1500mm of the power cord exit from the rangehood.
  The power socket must be accessible and enable the end user to isolate the rangehood from the power for the purpose of internal cleaning or maintenance.
• 150mm round ducting adapter is supplied. All other ducting accessories are not supplied. All ducting must comply with local requirements and building codes.
• If re-circulating, ensure that the side outlet grilles are not obstructed. Even a partial obstruction will restrict the efficiency of the rangehood.
• See Ducting options next page.

Ducting Options

The method of ducting should be carefully considered before installing the rangehood. The guide below recommends the ducting components to use for all common ducting configurations - through the top of the home (for the roof and soffit) and through the rear of the home. 150mm round ducting should be used in conjunction with this model rangehood. Alternatively this rangehood can be operated in recirculation mode (see Recirculation mode pg 6).

The highlighted area in the table below gives the recommended Uniduct item numbers for different mounting and outlet options.

A Minimum height from the hob surface to the underside face of the rangehood 600mm electric hob 650mm gas hob
Notes: If the instructions for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account. Any installation above 750mm will compromise performance.
B Vertical height from bottom of Rangehood to Fixing Plate mounting screws 323mm.
C Distance between mounting screw holes on Fixing Plate 100mm.

Installation

Mounting to a stud is recommended. However, if fitted to other wall linings (plasterboard, concrete etc) suitable fixings will be required. Before drilling any holes check that the wall and ceiling are clear of any electrical cables, pipes etc.

1. Pre drill pilot holes in the positions given (pg 4 - Installation position). Fix the fixing plate using the screws supplied or appropriate wall fixings, check with a spirit level to ensure bracket is level. Tighten screws.

1. Mark the position of the decorative chimney at the ceiling and wall. Cut the cornice moulding away if required, to enable the chimney to sit flush against the wall and ceiling.
2. Only if ducting - Mark and cut out the hole in the ceiling / wall to fit the ducting (160mm dia max). Warning: Chimney depth is 172mm. Ensure no part of the hole is greater than 170mm from the wall.
3. Using the screws supplied, fix the chimney bracket to the wall, checking that is central about the canopy.

Installation - continued

1. Remove the protective plastic covering from all parts including the filters. Fit the canopy hood on the fixing bracket.

2. Fix the lower chimney bracket to the top of the lower chimney using two screws supplied.

1. Connect to the power supply and switch on the power to the canopy hood. Check the function of the canopy hood. Connect and secure the ducting (use duct tape if required).

2. Place the two chimney pieces onto the canopy top and secure the lower part to the canopy sides. Extend the upper chimney to the ceiling and secure in place with two screws supplied.

Recirculation mode

1. This unit can be installed to operate in recirculation mode where ducting is not a chosen/desired or practical option. There are recirculation grilles fitted on each side of the upper chimney which allow the cleansed air to return to the kitchen. Ensure that the side outlet grilles are not obstructed. Even a partial obstruction will restrict the efficiency of the rangehood.

2. Replace aluminium filters with charcoal filters (see pg 7 for part numbers).

Notes:

• Please remember to fill out the details on the warranty certificate (do not post).
• Remove any plastic coating from the product.

Light

The light can be operated independently from the fan and is controlled in accordance with the graphics printed above.

Fan

The fan is operated by turning the power switch on. It can be run at three different speeds (Speed 1 / Speed 2 / Speed 3) depending on the cooking requirements and is controlled in accordance with the graphics printed above.

Cleaning and maintenance

General Maintenance

Switch off the canopy before cleaning or maintenance. To prevent surface damage never use abrasive or oil based liquid cleaners. To clean the surfaces of the appliance, use mild detergent and warm water. In areas of high humidity and coastal environments cleaning should be carried out frequently.

Warning: a build up of oil may occur if the wall canopy is not cleaned regularly.

Filter Maintenance

To maintain efficiency, the filters should be removed regularly (approximately monthly), and washed using hot soapy water or the dishwasher. Note - some discolouration of the frame may occur if washed in the dishwasher.

Rangehoods fitted with charcoal filters are designed to remove grease and odours from cooking vapours prior to the cleansed air re-entering the kitchen (when the rangehood is in recirculation mode). Charcoal filters should be replaced every two to four months depending on use.

Note: Fully saturated charcoal filters can become a barrier to air movement therefore limiting rangehood performance. In the event of fire, grease laden filters could be flammable and therefore regular replacement is recommended. In ducted installations, conventional aluminium filters are recommended.

Replacement of Halogen Lamps

To replace a lamp, first disconnect the rangehood from the power supply. Use a small blade screwdriver to prise off the lamp cover. Care must be taken to avoid the lamp lens falling on to the hob top. The halogen bulb is a push fit into the lamp body. Insert the replacement lamp into the lamp holder and replace the lens and lamp cover.
