Rangehood installation height above the cooktop is the user's preference. Lower installation heights will improve the efficiency of capturing cooking odours, grease, and smoke. This rangehood must be installed between the minimum and maximum dimensions indicated in the table above.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Venting options

Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.

The rangehood can be installed to operate with the exhaust air ducted externally from the kitchen, or installed to operate with the exhaust air recirculating within the kitchen.

Ducted

For ducted installation it is recommended that 150 mm diameter, rigid or semi-rigid ducting is used. This will require a 160 mm (min) round hole in the ceiling or wall. Care should be taken to position the hole correctly.

For optimal efficiency use the shortest and straightest duct route possible and use rigid or semi-rigid ducting for reduced noise and increased airflow. Flexible metal ducting should only be used as a last resort (ie in difficult installations) and if used ensure that it is straight and smooth and extended as much as possible.

Recirculating

To enable the product to operate with the air recirculating, please purchase a recirculation diverter and carbon filters (refer to the 'Parts and accessories' section). The recirculation diverter is required to channel the air out the side vents at the top of the chimney and the carbon filters are required to remove odours.

Note: a ducting hole is not required in the wall or ceiling if the rangehood is installed to operate with exhaust air recirculating.

WARNING!

• This product is heavy and requires two persons for installation.
- Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
- Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards

IMPORTANT!

Wear gloves to protect against sharp edges.

The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by not following these instructions.

Note: we recommend turning your rangehood on before you start cooking for optimal performance.

WARNING!

Unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing or cleaning.

IMPORTANT!

• Never use abrasive or oil based cleaners.
- Wear gloves to protect against sharp edges.

Maintenance

The rangehood should be cleaned regularly using a mild, liquid detergent and a clean soft cloth to avoid a build-up of grease occurring. Avoid the use of corrosive chemicals, abrasive cleaning products, hard brushes and steel wool pads. Grease deposits are corrosive which can cause damage to your rangehood.

Note: in areas of high humidity or coastal environments, cleaning should be carried out more frequently.

Aluminium filters

• Depending on use, and at least once a month, the aluminium grease filters should be removed and cleaned with hot soapy water or in a dishwasher.
• If washed in a dishwasher, the filters should be placed in an upright position to prevent food from falling on them.
  • After rinsing and drying, refit the filters.

Note: some discolouration of the frames may occur.

Removing the aluminium filters:

① Pull the relative catch, tilting the filter downwards until it disengages from the supports.
② Reverse these instructions when refitting the filters.

WARNING!

When replacing the bulb, let the bulb cool, and assure that power to the rangehood has been turned off. Use new bulbs according to that indicated on the rangehood nameplate.

IMPORTANT!

• Use bulbs with an aluminium reflector to replace halogen bulbs. Do not use dichroic bulbs – there is a risk of overheating.
• On rangehoods equipped with tungsten lamps, the lights should only be used during operation of the motor. They should not be left on permanently and used as a light source.

Carbon filters - for use in recirculation mode

Active carbon filters are disposable items designed to remove grease and odours from cooking vapours before the air is channelled back into the kitchen. The active carbon filters must be replaced periodically to work properly, at least every three months, depending on the frequency with which the rangehood is used.

Note: fully saturated carbon 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.

Replacing the light bulb

Note: replacement bulbs are not covered by warranty.

① Remove aluminium grease filters.
② Replace light bulb with a light bulb no more powerful than that specified.
③ Refit the aluminium filters.
