2. Important safety information

Product Use

The Rangehood has one mode of operation:

Air extraction: The air is drawn in by the rangehood, filtered through the grease filters, and then expelled outside. Please check the cleaning and maintenance section for advice on the filter's cleaning schedule.

This product is designed for household use and must not be used for commercial applications.

After use, always ensure that all controls are in the "OFF" position.

Never flambé any food beneath the rangehood.

Always switch off the power source and unplug the connection before conducting maintenance or cleaning.

Respect the cleaning frequencies and intervals for changing the filters, otherwise, the accumulated grease could cause a fire or damage to the appliance.

Changes made to the steel surface will render the warranty invalid.

In addition to the size of the rangehood, the height of the rangehood above the cooktop is important to obtain the best performance.

For recommended heights, please refer to Mounting Laws and Regulations.

MATCH THE RANGEHOOD SIZE TO YOUR COOKTOP

It is important to make sure the rangehood is the correct size, the larger the surface area of your rangehood the better extraction results, see diagram below.

Rangehood smaller than cooking zone
INADEQUATE

Rangehood same size as cooking zone
ADEQUATE

Rangehood larger than cooking zone

WARNING

Always switch off and disconnect power to the rangehood before cleaning. The manufacturer is exonerated from all responsibility in the event of fire due to poor maintenance of the filters and rangehood.

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

Filters

• For this appliance to function effectively, regular maintenance is a must.
• The function of the filter is to absorb the grease particles emitted during cooking.
• Blocked filters and heavy oil deposits restrict airflow and may cause the motor to overheat and become a fire hazard.
• Filters should be cleaned every 3-6 weeks or after 40 hours of use.
• Disconnect the electrical connection before any maintenance or cleaning processes are carried out.
• In ceiling-mounted rangehoods, the doors or glass must be opened before accessing the filters.
• To remove the filter, press 'Catch A' towards the rear of the rangehood (removing the pins from the front guide), ease down slightly and remove. To replace, perform the same operation but in reverse, see figure 1.

Figure 2 Figure 1

6. Cleaning and maintenance

• If your model is equipped with the Balanced Aspiration System periodical cleaning is required. The Balanced Aspiration plate can be removed by taking out the 6 screws shown in figure 2. Please make sure it is fully dry before installing back to the rangehood.
• For an induction cooktop, please aim to clean the filters at least every 10 days, depending on frequency of use.
• The filters can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher

Washing by hand - Immerse the filter in hot water and a suitable detergent, when clean, rinse with plenty of hot water.

Dishwasher - Put the filter in the dishwasher and select a short program at low temperature.

NOTE: The colour of the metal mesh filters may change after several washes. This is normal and it is not necessary to replace the filters.

Surfaces

The surface of the rangehood can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft sponge / cloth.

• Never use abrasive detergents, scouring pads, steel wool or solvents on ANY part of this appliance.
• Rinse with clean water and ensure that the appliance is completely dry after cleaning.
• For better results, you can use high quality cleaning and protection products (eg. Steel Kleen) to clean your rangehood.
• Always make sure the appliance is completely dry after cleaning and never leave wet, this may cause irreparable damage.

It is important to follow the direction of the surface grain with the cloth (refer to figure right).

Do not pour any liquid directly onto the rangehood, apply to a soft cloth first.

The cloth must have no buttons, zips or fasteners that can scratch the surface.

It is strictly forbidden to use chemical solvents, aggressive, grainy or abrasive products, naphtha, alcohol or similar products that could damage the surface of the rangehood.

The manufacturer will not be held responsible for functional or aesthetic damage caused by using inadequate cleaning methods.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the interior of the rangehood with a damp cloth and a neutral detergent or denatured alcohol.

NOTE: Do not use denatured alcohol on the exterior of the rangehood. Do not clean the electric parts or the motor with liquids or solvents.

Cooking with Induction Cooktops

Cooking with an induction or similar cooktop, may produce condensation on the rangehood.

Unlike basic electric or gas cooking, induction cooktops heat food and liquid instantly, which in turn, produces vapours rapidly. Because of the accelerated process, the rangehood filters do not have enough time to warm up, which increases the chance of condensation forming.

There are many variables that may contribute

to condensation forming, some of which include but are not limited to:

• Variance in climate - geographical location.
• Position of your home & kitchen – morning/afternoon sun.
  • Distance from cooktop to the rangehood.
  • Speed of food & liquid heating.
• Angle of ducting - an 'S' bend is preferred.
• Filter size – larger rangehood preferred, as it will have a larger filter extraction area.
• Quality of pots or cookware you are using – high quality is recommended.

How to reduce the possibility of condensation forming:

• Ensure the rangehood is installed by a qualified professional, carefully following the installation guide.
• Turn on the rangehood 5-10 minutes prior to cooking, and leave on for 5-10 minutes after cooking; this helps clear remaining vapours from the flue.
• Start the cooking process at a low-to-medium setting and allow time for the rangehood to become warm.
• Clean filters regularly.
• Ensure constant airflow in the cooking zone; this helps optimise the rate of extraction.
• Follow all induction cooktop manufacturer's advice.
  • Install at recommended height above induction cooktop.

For further tips or information regarding cooking with induction, please contact the induction cooktop manufacturer.
