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.

Pre-Installation - continued

Installation position

A Vertical height from bottom of Rangehood to Fixing Plate mounting screws 302mm.

B Set height from the hob surface to the underside face of the rangehood at 750mm for electric hob or gas hob.

Please check that the length of your chimney assembly will reach your ceiling before securing the rangehood to the wall.

Be advised that the chimney height is such that the optimum height for installation is 750mm above the hob. Should you wish to have the unit lower, or you have a ceiling higher than the typical 2.4 meter (8 foot), then please choose the desired chimney extension kit from page 8.

Minimum height from the hob surface to the underside face of the rangehood 600mm electric hob - chimney extension kit required, see page 8 650mm gas hob - chimney extension kit required, see page 8

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 the performance.

C Distance between mounting screw holes on Fixing Plate 115mm.

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 mounting bracket 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. If a chimney extension kit is required, see page 8, Chimney extensions.
2. Only if ducting - Mark and check, then cut out the hole in the ceiling / wall to fit the ducting (160mm dia max).
3. Using the screws supplied, fix the top chimney bracket to the wall, checking that is central about the canopy.

Installation - continued

1. Using screws supplied, fix the lower chimney bracket onto lower chimney.

1. Remove the protective plastic covering from all parts including the filters. Hang the rangehood onto the mounting bracket.
2. Connect to the power supply and switch on the power to the rangehood. Check the functions and operations of the switches. Connect and secure the ducting (use duct tape if required).
3. Place the two chimney pieces onto the canopy top. Extend the upper chimney to the ceiling and secure in place with the top chimney bracket using 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 Parts and Accessories list).

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 compact 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.
