Always switch power off prior to 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 1000mm of the power cord exit from the rangehood.
The socket must be accessible and enable the end user to isolate the rangehood from the power for the purpose of internal cleaning or maintenance.
Stainless steel or powder coat 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 ducting must comply with local requirements and building codes.
Suitable fixings will be required to mount this 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.

Rear wall Fixing plate Wall stud Fixing screw

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. Use the upper chimney bracket as a template to mark the fixing screw positions. Using the screws supplied, fix the chimney bracket to the wall, checking that it is central about the canopy.

Installation - continued

1. Connect and secure the ducting (use duct tape if required).
2. Remove the protective plastic covering from all parts including the filters. Fit the canopy hood on the fixing bracket. Mark and drill the two holes required for the safety screws. Secure the canopy in place with the safety screws provided. The safety screws stop the canopy from accidentally being knocked off the fixing plate.
3. Insert the upper chimney piece into the lower chimney piece. Assemble the lower chimney bracket onto the lower chimney using screws provided and ensure the bracket holds both chimney pieces. Do not fully tighten the screws as some adjustment is required in step 9.

Upper chimney Lower chimney bracket Lower chimney

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).

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 rangehood 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.

Some discolouration of the filter 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.

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 & LED Lamps

To replace a lamp, first disconnect the rangehood from the power supply and ensure the lamp has had time to cool down before touching.

Use a small blade screwdriver to prise off the lamp cover taking care to avoid the lamp lens falling on to the hob top. The halogen bulb is a push fit into the lamp body, replace the lamp by inserting the replacement lamp into the lamp holder and replace the lens and lamp cover.
