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 the 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 percent of the total perimeter and the remaining three walls having an area of 30 percent or more of unrestricted opening, with a roof or overhead cover.

Electrical Data
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES

This range hood 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 authorized service center. Always follow the  Australian / New Zealand requirements for connection to the mains supply. If in doubt always consult a qualified electrician.

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 percent free open area). Measure the distance from the 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 percent 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’.

IMPORTANT
It is recommended that access doors or windows to the balcony or veranda be closed while the barbecue is in use. If unsure always consult with your local building authority and local gas authority.

RANGEHOOD INSTALLATION

BEFORE INSTALLING
Please consider the following before commencing to install your rangehood.
Your rangehood will need to be ducted to ensure it operates and complies with local and national regulations.
DUCT MOUNTING OPTIONS
You will need some additional parts to complete these installations.
All motors need to be ducted individually and the included expanding duct is 150mm diameter.

*If installing ducting at the Rear or via the Soffit/Eave please review page 9 for the reductions in ducting requirements.

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

DUCTING
All motors need to be ducted individually to ensure airflow and suction are adequate and meet all regulations.
GR1200 Medium – 2 Ducts 150mm Ø
GR1500 Large – 3 Ducts 150mm Ø
If installation of ducts is not straight up vertically please use the following as a guide and we recommend speaking with or engaging a licensed installer.
DUCT RUN CALCULATIONS
Maximum allowable duct run per motor:

Deduct the following from the maximum ducting
Minus per 90° elbow used| 5m
Minus per 45° elbow used| 3m
Minus per duct size transition| 1 m
Minus side wall cap/eave damper| 10m
Minus roof cap| 1 Om

For example: 1 x roof cap, 1 x 90° elbow, 1 x 45° elbow, 1 x duct transition – actually used.
This means the actual length of 150mm ducting to be used is a maximum of:
30m Duct run minus (-) (10m + 5m +3m +1m) = 11m actual ducting can be used.
Flexible ducts are provided for convenience, always use rigid type metal ducts if available to maximize airflow.
Also use calculation (above) to compute total available duct run when using elbows, transitions, and caps.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number of transitions and turns. If a long duct run is required, increase duct size from 150mm to 200mm.
If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake reducer. Reduce duct size as far away from motor as possible.
If turns and transitions are required; install as far away from the motor and as far apart between the two as possible.
WARNING – FIRE

NEVER Exhaust air or terminate ductwork into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceilings, attics, or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the atmosphere. Use Metal ductwork only. Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver tape or duct tape. Although this rangehood is supplied with a flexible expanding duct it is highly recommended that you use rigid metal ducting. This will improve airflow.

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 on page 11.
