Product Usage Instructions

Safety and Warnings
When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions. Follow the guidelines below to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

• Use the range hood only as intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
• Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch off the power at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent accidental power switch-on. If locking is not possible, securely fasten a prominent warning device to the service panel.
• Installation work and electrical wiring should be done by qualified individuals in accordance with applicable codes and standards.
• Ensure sufficient air for proper combustion and gas exhaust through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment. Follow heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards.
• Avoid damaging electrical wiring and hidden utilities when cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings.
• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors using metal duct work.
• Do not use solid-state speed control devices with this fan to reduce the risk of fire or electric shock.
• Use the range hood only for general ventilating purposes. Do not use it to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

Cooking Considerations
Follow these cooking considerations for optimal usage of the range hood:

• Switch on the range hood 5 minutes before cooking and let it run for at least 5 minutes after cooking.
• If using a powerful gas cooktop or multiple gas burners simultaneously, the range hood surfaces may become hot. To reduce this effect, use the maximum speed setting to enable quick extraction of hot air.
• To optimize performance, turn on the range hood for a few minutes before cooking to establish air currents and remove hot air from the kitchen, keeping the range hood surface cool.
• Reduce fan speed for normal cooking and increase it for high heat, strong odors, or fumes.
  For more detailed information on Wi-Fi connection, light settings, care and cleaning instructions, troubleshooting, parts and accessories, and warranty details, please refer to the user manual.

• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

General

• CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:
• Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
• Always turn hood on when cooking at high or when flambéing food (ie Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé)
• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a range top grease fire, observe the following:*
• Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department.
• Never pick up a flaming pan – you may be burned.
• Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
• Use an extinguisher only if:
  • You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
  •  The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
  • The fire department is being called.
  • You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
  • Based on “Kitchen Firesafety Tips” published by NFPA.

Installation

• This product is not intended for connection to a rigid metal conduit.
• The appliance must be able to be disconnected from mains supply after installation. This may be done with a wiring switch in accordance with the wiring rules.
• CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal-cutout, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
• Ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air are adhered to.
• Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
• Exhaust air must not be discharged into an existing flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.
• Ensure the glass perimeter plate can open freely without obstruction at all times.

Maintenance

• Unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing or cleaning.
• There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions in your user guide.

COOKING CONSIDERATIONS

Induction

• Induction cooktops use energy-efficient technology that only heats the contents of a cooking pot, not the surrounding air. As a result, there is more likelihood of condensation on range hood filters, splashbacks and surrounding cabinetry than when you use traditional electric or gas cooktops.
• Other factors that influence condensation are room temperature, humidity, natural ventilation of the room, size of the cookware and how the induction cooktop is being used. For example, rapid boiling increases the likelihood of condensation. It is important to understand that neither the range hood nor the induction cooktop are faulty.

Reducing condensation

• When boiling, use the range hood on a lower speed setting and the induction cooktop on a lower heat setting.
• Switch the range hood on 5 minutes before cooking and let it run for at least 5 minutes after cooking.

Gas
Range hood surfaces may become hot if using a powerful gas cooktop or multiple gas burners operating at the same time. This effect can be reduced by using the maximum speed setting to enable hot air to be extracted quickly.

Optimising performance

• Turn your range hood on for a few minutes before cooking. This will establish air currents up through the range hood, remove hot air from your kitchen and keep the range hood surface cool.
• Reduce fan speed for normal use and increase it for high heat, strong odours or fumes.

Avoid the use of corrosive chemicals, abrasive cleaning products, hard brushes and steel wool pads. In areas of high humidity or coastal environments, cleaning should be carried out more frequently.
Do not operate the hood without filters in place.

Aluminum filters

• Clean the filters at least once a month. Filters may need to be cleaned more frequently depending on the cooking methods used and frequency of use.
• Aluminum filters should be removed and cleaned with hot soapy water or in
• dishwasher.
