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.
Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules

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 6). 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.
• W hen using flexible flue always install duct with helix pulled taut to minimize 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.
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.
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

NOTE: The fan housing flue transition duct is 150mm in diameter.

INSTALLATION

PRE-INSTALLATION
Before installing the cooker hood, peel off any protective plastic covering and remove polystyrene from inside behind the fan motor. See diagram below.

LOCATION
The underside of the hood body must be a minimum of 600mm

• above an electric cooktop and 650mm
• above a gas cooktop and 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.

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 (refer Fig. 6 below).

2. Mark the location for flue cover wall mounting brackets and rangehood mounting points and anti-tilt fixing points above the hood base using the hood base as the reference point (Fig. 6 below).
   

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. Remove the protective plastic film from the hood body and hang hood on the mounting screws then secure at the anti-tilt locations as indicated in Fig. 6 & 7.

5. Fix exhaust transition duct using screws supplied (Fig. 8).
   
   Depending on the preferred installation/ducting mode, follow step 6a or 6b below.
   6a. Recirculating mode (Fig. 9).

Using the centre line, secure the recirculating T-piece to the wall with suitable pipe between T-piece and the exhaust transition duct. Use cable ties or suitable duct tape to secure flexible pipe to T-piece and transition duct (Fig. 11).

NOTE: When installed in recirculating mode, it is recommended to use a carbon filter (included in recirculation kit AR910RK) to prevent odours being emitted back into the room.

6. 6b. Ducted mode (Fig 10.) The rangehood can be connected with a 150mm diameter non-combustible flue pipe (rigid or flexible – not included) and fan transition duct Continue the centre line to the ceiling. Fit preferred flue pipe to the fan transition duct. Use cable ties or suitable duct tape to secure flexible pipe to the transition duct.

NOTE: For ducted mode, extend the flue pipe through the roof to external ‘china hat’ to vent exhaust externally. Do not vent into the ceiling cavity.
NOTE: To ensure optimum performance of the rangehood, the use of rigid ducting is recommended. The use of bends should be avoided. Rigid flexible ducting is suitable, although loose flexible ducting 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.

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

CAUTION
Care must be taken to ensure the screws are not cross threaded when attaching the upper flue cover.

If installed in recirculating mode, insert the optional carbon filter (included in recirculation kit AR910RK).
To complete the rangehood 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 rangehood 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 15 minutes after cooking or until all odours have dispersed.

• The control switches are located on the front panel of the unit. See Fig. 12 below.
  

• The control panel comprises of:
  – T: Indicator lamp
  – U: Light button
  – V: Off button
  – W: 3 control switches for the motor (speed positions 1, 2, and 3)

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 the surface using non-abrasive cleaning products. To ensure best results also use an even pressure 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 again reducing the risk of any surface rust appearing.
• Never use corrosive, abraisive or flammable cleaning products or products containing bleach.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s protective grid.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth and mild washing up liquid.
• 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 towards the back of the unit and then pull it down and out.
  

Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the process if necessary. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.

Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select the most powerful washing program and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry. When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discoloration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on it’s performance.

NOTE: The metal grease filters must be removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.

• Clean the inner housing using a hand hot solution only (never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).

Charcoal filter

• The charcoal 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.

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

Changing the lamps
If the lamp s need replacing, they must be replaced by lamps with an aluminium reflector, never dichronic lamps to avoid unnecessary overheating in the lamp holders.

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