INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Typical installation tools required
You’ll most likely require the following tools/equipment
(not supplied) for the installation of your rangehood.

If ducting your rangehood, you’ll also most likely require:

Important installation safety notes:
– Always switch the power off prior to beginning the installation.
– Stainless steel is very easily damaged during installation.
Wherever possible, protect the rangehood with the cardboard box or plastic wrap during the installation.
– For safety reasons, this Rangehood must be earthed.
– A power point must be located within 1.5m of the power cord exit from the rangehood, and it should be always accessible to allow isolation from power during cleaning or maintenance.
– A 150mm round ducting adapter is supplied, however all other ducting accessories are not.
– All ducting must comply with building codes and local requirements.
– If you are re-circulating the air, rather than ducting, please ensure that the side outlet grilles are not obstructed in any way as this will affect the efficiency of the rangehood.
– Ensure that the rangehood is mounted in a level position, both horizontally and vertically. This is essential to ensure the rangehood operates correctly and prevents grease build up at one end.

WARNING!
All electrical work associated with the installation of this rangehood must be carried out by a licensed electrician. This rangehood must be correctly installed by a suitably qualified person in strict accordance with all applicable rules and regulations and following the instructions in this manual.
— Do not try to install the rangehood yourself; doing so will expose you to danger and void the warranty. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration or service can cause injury or damage.
We decline any responsibility for in jury or damage, to persons or property, as a result of improper installation.

Ducting options
Before beginning the installation of your rangehood, the method of ducting should be considered and selected. The guide below illustrates the various ducting options.
Note:
This rangehood can be operated in recirculation mode where required, although it is recommended to duct wherever possible.— Straight up and through your tiled or metal roof. (Fig. 2)
— Into your ceiling cavity and then vented through your eaves. (Fig. 3)
— Through your wall (Fig. 4)
Further to your various ducting options, below are some tips on how to correctly duct your rangehood:
– Always use correctly sized ducting:
DO NOT reduce the size of the ducting
– Always use solid ducting
– Always use non-flammable ducting
– Always duct to the outside atmosphere
– Do not use flexible ducting
– Do not duct into the ceiling space: always vent to the outside atmosphere.
– Avoid sharp 90 degree bends as much as possible, use 45 degree bends instead wherever possible
– Duct to the outside atmosphere using the shortest duct run possible
– Use cylindrical ducting whenever possible

Positioning the rangehood: Installation heights
– Over gas and electric cookers, we recommend our rangehoods to be mounted at a height of between 600-800mm above the cooking surface.
– Electric cooktops must have a minimum height of 600mm from the underside of the rangehood to the cooktop face.
– Gas cooktops must have a minimum of 650mm from the burner to the underside of the rangedhood.
– Gas Regulations require the fi lters of the rangehood to be at least 1200mm above the cooking surface when used over open flame grillers or barbecues.*

• We do not recommend this rangehood for outdoor use or being installed above barbecues/open flame grillers.

Installing the rangehood
– Once the installation height has been determined, use the fasteners and wall plugs to install the mounting bracket (hook) on to the wall ensuring that it’s secured in a level position. The mounting bracket connects to the canopy at the top (i.e. where the chimney connects into the canopy). Also using the fasteners and wall plugs, install the wall bracket for the chimney pieces. (Fig. 5)
– Using the screws provided, attach the expandable 150mm ducting adapter to the canopy. With the two Chimney pieces together, fix the “outside chimney” bracket onto the outside chimney (flue) piece. Ensure that the inner chimney piece can move freely inside. Now attach the chimney pieces to the canopy. (Fig. 6)
– Lift the canopy (including the chimney pieces) on to the wall bracket (hook). (Fig. 7)
– Adjust the height of the inside chimney piece and fix into place with the screws. After adjusting the position of the canopy, fix into place with the safety screws (Fig. 8) into the wall (you’ll need to remove the grease filters first).

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the baffle filters
Keeping this filter clean will keep the rangehood extraction performance at an optimum. Please strictly follow the guidelines below.
– The baffle filter is made of stainless steel.
Please ensure you never use a corrosive detergent during cleaning.
– Method 1: Put the baffle filter into 40–50°C clean water with a small amount of regular dishwashing liquid, and soak for 2–3 mins.
Wear gloves and clean with a soft brush.
Please do not apply too much pressure, or the baffle filter will damage easy.
– Method 2: You can wash your rangehood baffle filter in your dishwasher, however please ensure they aren’t washed at a temperature above 60°C degrees.

Cleaning the cooker hood
To protect the main body of your rangehood from corrosion or stains, the cooker hood should be cleaned with hot water with a non-corrosive detergent every two months. For stubborn stains or marks, you can try using a specific stainless steel cleaner available from most supermarkets.
Warning!
Please do not use a corrosive detergent, or abrasive cloths, as it will damage the body.
– Keep the motor and other spare parts free from water, as this will cause damage to the appliance.
– Before cleaning the rangehood, always switch the power off at the outlet and unplug the rangehood.
– If your rangehood has a damaged plug or cord, please ensure your rangehood remains unplugged and contact After Sales Support for further assistance. Any electrical work should only be completed by a suitably licenced and authorised person.
– If you’re using a carbon filter, it should never be exposed to heat.
