• The exhaust from the canopy rangehood must not be discharged into any heating flue, which may carry combustion products from other sources. (Fig 1)

• Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity, unless the cavity is designed for the purpose.

• There must be adequate ventilation of the room when the canopy rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.

• Always cover lit gas burners with pots or pans when canopy rangehood is in use.

• Always switch off gas burners before you remove pots or pans.

• Do not leave lit gas burners exposed due to the risk of fire. (Fig 2)

• The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity supply before beginning any maintenance work.

• Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

• Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range hood or other cooking fume extractor, the operation of open flued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does not occur.

• Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliance.

• Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

Electrical connection
Check that the mains voltage matches with the voltage on the data plate inside the canopy rangehood. Check that the installation complies with standards of local building, gas and electrical authorities. Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate inside the cooker hood.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Safety warnings – for the installer
When installing the cooker hood, make sure you adhere to the minimum and maximum distances from the cooker hood base to the hob surface (refer to page 8).
Exhaust flue installation: The following rules must be strictly followed to obtain optimal air extraction.

• Keep exhaust flue short and straight.
• Do not reduce the size or restrict exhaust flue. Keep bends in the exhaust flue to a minimum.
• When using semi-rigid duct always install duct with helix pulled taut to minimise pressure loss.
• Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of the cooker hood.

Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity, unless the cavity is designed for that purpose. The exhaust from the cooker hood must not be discharged into any heating flue, which may carry combustion products from other sources.
NOTE: Some installations may require the telescopic exhaust cover to be cut to length. Cut with sharp tin snips or a fine-tooth hack saw blade, taking care not to distort or dent the exhaust cover.

RANGEHOOD DIMENSIONS

INSTALLATION

Pre-installation
Before installing the cooker hood, peel off any protective plastic covering and remove polystyrene from inside behind the fan motor. See Fig. 5 below

Location
The hood is to be mounted on the wall. When installed, the hood must be not less than 60cm above electric burners or 62cm above gas or mixed-fuel burners.
DISTANCE FROM HOOD BASE TO TOP OF HOB

• If the instructions of the hob specify a greater distance than the minimum above, then that shall be the minimum height for installation.

  1. Using a spirit level mark a vertical centre line on the wall where the hood is to be positioned, and a horizontal line at the hood base position. (See Fig. 4, or 5 for relevant model.
     | WRC614SC| WRC914SC
     ---|---|---
     A| 600mm| 900mm
     B| 440mm| 550mm

NOTE: The height of the underside of the hood body must be a minimum of 600mm* to a maximum height of 800mm.

• If the instructions of the hob specify a greater distance than the minimum above, then that shall be the minimum height for installation.

  2. Mark the location for the flue cover wall mounting brackets and rangehood mounting points and anti-tilt fixing points above the hood base using the hood base as a reference point

  3. Install flue cover wall mounting brackets with suitable fixings. Install suitable screws for rangehood mounting points (to support a total weight of 30kg) to the wall as marked (Fig. 7)

  4. Fix exhaust transition duct using screws supplied (Fig. 8)

  5. Hang the body hood on the mounting screws then secure at the anti-tilt locations as indicated in Fig 9 Depending on the preferred installation/ducting mode, follow step 14a or 14b below.

  6. a. Recirculating mode (Fig. 10). Using the centre line, secure the recirculating T-piece to the wall with suitable screws/fixings (optional kit AR610RK). Install flue pipe between T-piece and reducer. Use cable ties or suitable duct tape to secure flue pipe to T-piece and reducer (Fig. 12) NOTE: When installed in recirculating mode, it is recommended to use a carbon filter (included in recirculation kit AR610RK) to prevent odours being emitted back into the room.
     6b. Ducted mode (Fig. 11) Fit a 150mm diameter non combustible flue pipe. Continue the centre line to the ceiling. Fit flue pipe to the exhaust transition duct. Use cable ties or suitable duct tape to secure flue pipe to the transition duct. Note: For ducted mode we recommend to extend the flue pipe through the roof cladding (with appropriate flashing) to an external roof cowl, venting the exhaust externally. Some States allow venting into the ceiling cavity, enquiries should be made with the local Government to ensure the installation complies with the regulations.
     NOTE: To ensure optimum performance of the rangehood, the use of rigid ducting (optional AR150F) is recommended. The use of bends should be avoided. Semi-rigid duct is suitable, although loose Semi-rigid duct is unacceptable. All ducting must be fire retardant.

  7. Electrical connection
     Check that the installation complies with the standards of local building, gas and electrical authorities. Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate inside the rangehood.

  8. Installation of telescopic flue covers
     Separate the inner and outer flue covers, and carefully remove the protective coating from both. Carefully reassemble the upper and lower flue covers sections by sliding the inner into the outer flue cover. Carefully lower the assembled upper and lower flue covers onto the top of the rangehood body, and insert the flue cover into the rangehood body approximately 5mm.

  9. Fix upper flue cover
     Fix upper flue cover to the wall mounting bracket with screws supplied. Ensure that the upper section is extended.

WARNING
Care must be taken to ensure the screws (supplied in accessories bag) are not cross threaded when attaching the upper flue cover. If installed in recirculating mode, insert the optional carbon filter (included in recirculation kit AR610RK). To complete the cooker hood installation, insert the three filters to the underside of the hood body. Place back edge of filter into position and push up front edge so that the filter clips into place.
Your Westinghouse cooker hood is now ready to use.

CONTROL PANEL

• Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions and a high speed when odours are more concentrated.

• Turn the hood on for a few minutes before you start cooking.

• The hood should be left on for a minimum of 5 minutes after cooking or until all odours have dispersed.

• The control switches are located on the front panel of the unit. See Fig. 16 below. A. Filter

• This is the indicator/switch to show when the filter needs to be cleaned.

• Once the filters are cleaned the ‘Filter’ alert can be deactivated with a single touch.
  B. Timer
  Using the Timer

• At the end of cooking, if the timer is switched on, the rangehood will continue to run for an additional 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the selected fan speed.

• The fan speed is reduced in 5 minute increments until the rangehood turns it self OFF.

• If the fan speed is set on high, it will run for 5 minutes then reduce to medium for 5 minutes, then reduce to low for 5 minutes before finally turning it self OFF.

• This should ensure the removal of any odours that remain after cooking.
  C. Lights
  To switch Lights On and OFF

• Touch the ‘light’ symbol to turn the lights ON.

• Touch the ‘light’ symbol again to turn the lights OFF.
  D. Power on/off
  E. Fan speed 1

NOTE. This product is fitted with a safety cutout device. If the cooker hood is installed to close to the cooktop, flambe cooking, operating the cooktop without cooking utensils and blocked filters may activate the safety cutout device. If the hood stops during operation, correct the faults and allow time for the safety cutout device to reset, the cooker hood will then function correctly.

CARE & MAINTENENCE

CAUTION
External surfaces are susceptible to scratches and abrasions, so please follow the cleaning instructions to ensure the best possible result is achieved without damage
Cleaning the hood

• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a solution of water and mild washing up liquid. Clean stainless steel surfaces using non-abrasive cleaning products that are specifically for use on stainless steel. To ensure the best results also use an even pressure and follow the grain of the stainless steel. Use of a soft cloth reduces the risk of scratching. If the cloth is wet ensure that a dry soft cloth is used to wipe down the surface and apply stainless steel protector to reduce the risk of any surface rust appearing.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products or products containing bleach.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motors protective grid.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth and mild washing up liquid.
• Clean the inner housing using warm water and grease loosening cleaner (never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease deposits that could cause a fire.

Removing the metal grease filters

• Push the grease filter and then pull it down and out.

Cleaning metal filter
The filter must be cleaned at least once a month using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. The openings must be placed downwards to let the water run out of the filters. The cleaning agents will make the aluminium filter turn dull, this is normal.
Charcoal filter

• The charcol filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in the recirculation function.
• This filter cannot be cleaned or re-used and as a general rule, the activated charcoal filter should be changed once every four months.

Fitting the charcoal filter
Fit one charcoal filter on the left and one on the right so as to cover the plastic grids that protect the fan wheel.

• Always specify the hood model code number and serial number when ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the registration plate located on the inside of this unit.
• Replacement charcoal filters can be ordered from your local service centre.

CAUTION
There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
Changing the LED lamps
If LED lamps need replacing, they must be replaced by lamps as stated in the technical specifications.

Ensure that the appliance is switched off before carrying out maintenance to avoid any possibility of electric shock.
