Frequently Asked Questions - LEIHDC70SC RANGEMASTER

How do I install the Rangemaster LEIHDC70SC range hood?

Installation should be done by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted at least 65-75 cm above the cooking surface. Secure the hood to the wall or under cabinet using the provided brackets. Connect the ductwork for exhaust or install carbon filters for recirculation. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.

How do I clean the grease filters?

The aluminum grease filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher on a low temperature cycle or by hand with warm soapy water. Allow them to dry completely before reinstalling. Clean them every 2-3 months depending on usage.

How often should I replace the carbon filter?

If using recirculation mode, the carbon filter should be replaced every 3 to 6 months, or when you notice reduced performance or odors. They are not washable.

What is the maximum extraction rate?

The maximum extraction rate is 750 m³/h, suitable for medium-sized kitchens. Adjust speed according to cooking needs.

Why is my range hood noisy?

Noise can be due to loose installation, blocked ductwork, or dirty filters. Ensure the hood is securely mounted, ducts are clear, and filters are clean. The maximum noise level is 65 dB(A) on high speed.

Can I use the hood without ducting?

Yes, you can use it in recirculation mode by installing carbon filters. This is ideal for kitchens without external duct access. The filters help absorb odors and grease.

How do I change the LED lights?

LED lights are integrated and should be replaced by a qualified technician if they fail. They are designed for long life. If the lights stop working, check the power supply first.

What does the thermal protection do?

Thermal protection automatically shuts off the motor if it overheats, preventing damage. This can happen if the hood is used continuously for long periods or if airflow is blocked. Let it cool down before restarting.

How do I reset the filter indicator?

After cleaning or replacing filters, hold the speed button for 3 seconds until the indicator light turns off. Check your manual for specific model instructions.

What is the warranty period?

The Rangemaster LEIHDC70SC comes with a standard 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Register your product for full coverage. Contact Rangemaster support for claims.

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.

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.

Wall drilling and bracket fixing

Wall marking:

• Draw a vertical line on the supporting wall up to the ceiling, or as high as practical, at the centre of the area in which the hood will be installed.
• Draw a horizontal line at 650 mm above the hob for installation without the back panel, or at height H (height of the visible part of the panel) for installation with the back panel.
• Place bracket 7.2.1 on the wall as shown about 1-2 mm from the ceiling or upper limit, aligning the centre (notch) with the vertical reference line.
• Mark the wall at the centres of the holes in the bracket.
• Place bracket 7.2.1 on the wall as shown at X mm below the first bracket (X = height of the upper chimney section supplied), aligning the centre (notch) with the vertical line.
• Mark the wall at the centres of the holes in the bracket.
• Place bracket 7.1 as shown 120 mm from the vertical reference line and 175 mm above the horizontal reference line.
  • Mark the centres of the holes in the bracket.
• Repeat this operation on the other side.

REAR PANEL (OPTIONAL)

The Rear Panel must be fitted before fixing the hood body and, if it is to be fixed at both top and bottom, must be fitted at the correct height prior to installing the bases. As this operation is rather complex, it should be carried out either by the kitchen installer or a qualified person who knows the final dimensions of the units.

For fixing at the top only, proceed as follows:

• Rest the back panel on the base, inserting the lower plate between the upper surface and the wall, centring it on the vertical reference line.
• Mark the centres of the two holes in the upper plate.
• Drill 8 mm holes at all the centre points marked.
• Insert the wall plugs 11 in the holes.
  • Fix the brackets using the 12a screws supplied.
  • Fix the back panel (where present) using the 12a screws supplied.

Mounting the hood body

• Screw the two screws 12d supplied onto the brackets 7.1.
• Hook the hood body onto the bracket 7.1, centring it around the vertical line.
• Use the adjusting screws 12d underneath the hood to level the hood body.

Connections

DUCTED VERSION AIR EXHAUST SYSTEM

When installing the ducted version, connect the hood to the chimney using either a flexible or rigid pipe 150 or 125 mm, the choice of which is left to the installer.

• To install a 125 mm air exhaust connection, insert the reducer flange 9 on the hood body air outlet and the adapting ring 120-125 10 on the reducer flange.
• Fix the pipe in position using sufficient pipe clamps (not supplied).
• Remove any activated charcoal filters.

RECIRCULATION VERSION AIR OUTLET

• Push fit the air outlet fitting 15 onto the air outlet of the hood body.
• Ensure that the activated charcoal filters have been inserted.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• Connect the hood to the mains through a two-pole switch having a contact gap of at least 3 mm.
• Remove the grease filters (see paragraph Maintenance) being sure that the connector of the feeding cable is correctly inserted in the socket placed on the side of the fan.

Chimney assembly

Upper chimney section

• Slightly widen the two sides of the upper chimney and hook them behind the brackets 7.2.1, making sure that they are properly housed.
• Secure the sides to the brackets using the 4 screws 12e (2,9 x 9,5) supplied.

Lower exhaust flue

• Insert the lower flue fixing bush 17 in the top of the hood body and rotate it 90^ clockwise as far as it will go.
• Slightly widen the two sides of the chimney and hook them between the upper chimney section and the wall, making sure that they are properly housed.
• Secure the sides of the bottom section to the bushes provided using the 2 screws 12c (2,9 x 9,5) supplied.
• On the recirculation version, fit the directional grids 8a – 8b in their housings making sure that the directional symbols are towards the top and front of the hood. Also make sure that they are correctly inserted in the outlet connection piece 15.

L Light Switches the lighting system on and off

M Motor Switches the extractor motor on and off

V Speed Sets the operating speed of the extractor:

1. Low speed, used for a continuous and silent air change in the presence of light cooking vapour.

2. Medium speed, suitable for most operating conditions given the optimum treated air flow/noise level ratio.

3. Maximum speed, used for eliminating the highest cooking vapour emission, including long periods.

Grease filters

CLEANING METAL SELF- SUPPORTING GREASE FILTERS

• The filters must be cleaned every 2 months of operation, or more frequently for particularly heavy usage, and can be washed in a dishwasher.
• Remove the filters one at a time by pushing them towards the back of the group and pulling down at the same time.
• Wash the filters, taking care not to bend them. Allow them to dry before refitting.
• When refitting the filters, make sure that the handle is visible on the outside.
