Frequently Asked Questions - OPLHD100 RANGEMASTER

How do I install the Rangemaster OPLHD100 range hood?

The hood should be installed at least 65 cm above a gas hob or 55 cm above an electric hob. Fix the wall bracket securely, connect the ducting to a 150 mm outlet (for extraction mode), or insert carbon filters for recirculation mode. Electrical connection must be done by a qualified electrician.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

Clean the aluminum grease filter every 2-4 weeks depending on usage. It can be washed in a dishwasher at low temperature or by hand with warm soapy water. Ensure it is fully dry before reinstalling.

Does the hood come with carbon filters for recirculation?

No, carbon filters are not included and must be purchased separately. They are required if you use the hood in recirculation mode (no external ducting). Replace every 3-6 months.

Why is my range hood noisy?

Noise may be due to a dirty filter, loose ducting, or high speed. Clean the filter and check duct connections. Normal noise level at maximum speed is 65 dB(A). If persistent, contact service.

Can I use the hood without ducting?

Yes, you can use the hood in recirculation mode by installing carbon filters (purchased separately). The air will be filtered and recirculated back into the kitchen.

How do I replace the LED lights?

The LED lights are integrated and should be replaced by a qualified technician. Do not attempt to replace them yourself as they require removal of the control panel.

What are the dimensions of the OPLHD100?

The hood is 90 cm wide, 50 cm deep, and adjustable in height from 60 to 120 cm. Weight is approximately 25 kg.

Is the hood suitable for use above a gas hob?

Yes, but minimum distance must be at least 65 cm. For electric hobs, minimum distance is 55 cm.

Can I control the hood remotely?

No, the OPLHD100 is controlled via push buttons on the front panel. There is no remote control feature.

What is the warranty period?

Rangemaster offers a 2-year warranty for domestic use. Proof of purchase is required. Warranty covers manufacturing defects but not misuse or commercial use.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.

INSTALLATION

• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
• The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the extractor hood is 650 mm (some models can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the paragraphs on working dimensions and installation).
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing. Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening communicating directly with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of clean air. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
• In the event of damage to the power cable, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by the technical service department, in order to prevent any risks.
• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance specified above, this has to be taken into account. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

USE

• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
• Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
• Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
• Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flames.
• Do not flambè under the range hood; risk of fire
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• "CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances."

MAINTENANCE

• Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
• Clean and/or replace the Filters after the specified time period (Fire hazard).
• Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.

Wall drilling and bracket fixing

As a first step, proceed with the following drawings:

• a vertical line up to the ceiling or up to the upper limit, at the centre of the area in which the hood is to be fitted;
• a horizontal line at a minimum 788 mm above the cooker top.
• Mark a point (1) on the horizontal line, 164 ~mm to the right of the vertical reference line.
• Repeat this operation on the other side, checking that the two marks are levelled.
• Mark a reference point (2) as indicated at 140 mm from the vertical reference line and 540 mm above the cooker top.
• Repeat this operation on the other side, checking that the two marks are levelled.
• Drill at the marked points (1), using a 12 mm drill bit.
• Drill at the marked points (2) using a 8 mm drill bit.
• Insert the bracket plugs 11a into the holes (1) and tighten the screws.
• Insert plug 11 into holes (2).

To install a decorative chimney (optional)

• Place bracket 7.2.1 on the wall, about 1 - 2mm from the ceiling or from the upper limit, aligning the centre (notch) with the vertical reference line.
  • Mark the wall at the centres of the bracket holes.
• Place the bracket 7.2.1 on the wall at X mm below the first bracket (X = height of the upper chimney section), aligning the centre (notch) with the vertical line.
  • Mark the wall at the centres of the bracket holes.
• Drill 8 mm holes at all the marked centre points.
• Insert the wall plugs 11 in the holes.
  • Fix the brackets using the 12a screws (4,2 x 44,4) supplied with the hood.

Fitting the hood body

• Open the doors/the door (See section Open Panels).
• Remove the Metal grease filters using the handles provided.
• Adjust the two screws Vr, in the brackets 11a, so that they are at the start of their travel.
• Hook the hood body to the two brackets 11a.
• From the inside of the hood body, turn screws Vr to level the hood body itself.
• Fasten the safety screw 12a.
• Close the doors/the door again.

Connections
