INSTALLATION – OUTDOOR USE ONLY

Read all instructions before installing and operating this Rangehood.
This Rangehood is designed for use above an outdoor domestic gas (propane/natural) barbecue.
WHAT IS AN OUTDOOR AREA
An outdoor area is an open-air situation that is not obstructed by buildings, structures etc, facilitating correct combustion and allowing products of combustion to be readily dispersed to atmosphere.
An alfresco area, veranda or balcony (large area) is considered outdoors when it is an open-air situation with natural ventilation. This ensures stagnant areas do not form, as these prevent the products of combustion from being rapidly  dispersed by wind and natural convection. In the unlikely event of a gas leak occurring, a well-ventilated area will allow escaping gases to rapidly disperse.
The following situations are considered to provide the natural ventilation required for an outdoor domestic barbecue or patio heater to be used:

• Four open sides with a roof or overhead cover.
• Four enclosed sides (walls) without a roof or overhead cover.
• Two parallel walls or two walls at right angles to each other with a roof or overhead cover.
• Three walls, with the one open side being at least 25 per cent of the total perimeter and the remaining three walls having an area of 30 per cent or more of unrestricted opening, with a roof or overhead cover.

Electrical Data
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
This Rangehood is fitted with a sealed electrical connection plug that is compatible with the mains power supply for Australia / New Zealand and meets the requirements of Australian Standards. This Rangehood must be connected to a  supply voltage that is equal to that stated on the rating label. If the mains power connection plug or power cord becomes damaged it must be replaced with a complete assembly that is identical to the original, and this must be replaced by  an authorised service centre. Always follow the Australian / New Zealand requirements for connection to the mains supply. If in doubt always consult a qualified electrician.
INSTALLATION – OUTDOOR USE ONLY

BALCONIES & VERANDAS
An outdoor barbecue or Rangehood may be installed and used on a balcony or veranda if, by location and use, it will not cause a hazard and the manufacturer’s instructions allow for such use. It may also be necessary to consult local  building laws before installing or using a gas barbecue on a balcony or veranda.
A balcony or veranda shallow in depth and with a roof and three enclosed sides is considered an acceptable area if the following applies:

• the depth of the balcony or veranda is smaller than or equal to its height; and
• the open face width is at least twice the depth. Examples of these situations:
• A balcony with an open construction balustrade (more than 75 per cent free open area). Measure the distance from floor to roof ‘H’.
• The maximum allowable depth ‘D’ is the same as ‘H’ and the minimum width ‘W’ is twice ‘D’.
• A balustrade is enclosed or has less than 75 per cent free open area. Measure from the top of the balustrade to the roof ‘Ha’. The maximum allowable depth ‘D’ is the same as ‘Ha’ and the minimum width ‘W’ is twice ‘D’.

• Tape measure/rule

• Plumb bob

• Spirit level

•  Ladder
  For ducting:

• Duct tape

• Jigsaw

• Duct elbows as required for correct installation

BEFORE INSTALLING

Please consider the following important items before commencing to install the Rangehood:

1. The Rangehood must be ducted to an external exit point to ensure it operates and complies with local and national regulations. Vertical exit through the roof is highly recommended to provide the best performance, (See Diagram 1).
2. Avoid sharp bends in the duct – ideal bend radius should be at least 2 x duct diameter (R300mm minimum), (See Diagram 2).
3. The Rangehood should be sized to larger than the cooking surface of the BBQ (including any side burners) to ensure adequate extraction of smoke and fumes, (See Diagrams 3 & 4).
4. When fitted above a BBQ with hood, consideration should be taken to create a bulkhead behind the Rangehood to bring it forward from where the open hood is. This will ensure the best extraction of the smoke and fumes and minimise impact of hood deflecting smoke away from the Rangehood, (See Diagrams 5 & 6).
5. Each fan motor must be ducted separately (do not combine to a single outlet).
6. Do not reduce the duct size smaller than Ø150mm.
7. Total length to exits is recommended to be less than 4m.
8. Do not crush, compress or deform the duct.

WARNING – FIRE
NEVER Exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceilings, attics or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the atmosphere.
Use Metal duct work only.
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver tape or duct tape.
The rangehood kit includes semi-rigid aluminum ducting. In the case additional ducting is required, it is highly recommended that semi-rigid aluminum ducting or fully rigid metal duct is used. Fully rigid metal ducting will further improve the airflow of the rangehood

Diagram 2:
DUCT BENDS

IDEAL – If bends are needed, gradual bends with radius at least twice the duct diameter and taut ducting allow for the best airflow.

RANGEHOOD SIZING AND POSITION

NOT IDEAL – Rangehood does not overlap with BBQ cooking area and smoke and fumes can easily escape away from the rangehood.

IDEAL – Rangehood overlaps complete cooking area of the BBQ to help ensure it captures the maximum level of fumes and smoke.

NOT IDEAL – Hood deflects smoke and fumes and away from the rangehood.

IDEAL – Bulkhead to allow rangehood to be positioned slightly forward of the cooking area to catch smoke and fumes effectively.

RANGEHOOD INSTALLATION – GR1200

The ideal position of the Rangehood is as follows:

1. Height above cooking surface – 1200mm
2. Distance from cooking surface to Rangehood mounting bracket bottom screw hole:
   • Top mounting holes – 1598mm

RANGEHOOD INSTALLATION – GR1500

The ideal position of the Rangehood is as follows:

1. Height above cooking surface – 1200mm
2. Distance from cooking surface to Rangehood mounting bracket bottom screw hole:
   • Top mounting holes – 1598mm

GENERAL ASSEMBLY

1. Place the rubber seal flat onto the top of the rangehood, lining up the 6 holes in the seal correctly with the holes in the rangehood top.
2. Place the ducting adapter with the butterfly flaps on top of the seal again ensuring that the holes line up correctly.
3. Secure with the 6pcs screws per duct adapter.
4. Install both wall plates to each side using the 6pcs screw per mounting plate

You can now proceed with the installation instructions.

INSTALLING – WALL MOUNT RANGEHOODS
