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 7).

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.
• When 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 Nosie levels of the cooker hood.

Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity,  unless the cavity is designed for that purpose. The exhaust from the cooker hood must not be discharged into any heating flue, which may carry combustion products from other sources.

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

INSTALLATION

Pre-installation

Before installing the rangehood, peel off any protective coating and remove the filters.

Location

The hood is to be mounted on the wall. When installed, the hood must be not less than 60cm above electric burners or 65cm above gas or mixed-fuel burners.

DISTANCE FROM HOOD BAST TO TOP OF HOB

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.

NOTE : The height of the underside of the hood body must be a minimum of 600mm* to 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.

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

WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

3. Install flue cover wall mounting brackets with suitable fasteners. Suitable fasteners must be used for rangehood mounting points . Refer to Fig.5 for dimensions.

If installation is for recirculation mode refer to Item 6a and Fig.9.

4. Fit the dampers to the exhaust air outlet. Slight bending of the dampers will be required for the fitment

5. Hang the body hood on the mounting screws then secure at the anti-tilt locations(2 places) as indicated in Fig 8.

Depending on the preferred installation/ducting mode, follow step 6a or 6b below.

6a. Recirculating mode(Fig.9)

Fix the T-piece to the top mounting bracket by using the 4 screws supplied as dimension indicated Fig 5. Adhere two sponge to the outlet of T-piece.  Using the centre line, install the recirculating T-piece and mounting bracket to the wall. Install flexible pipe between T- piece and air outlet Use cable ties or suitable duct tape to secure flexible pipe to T-piece and outlet of the hood.(Fig.10)

NOTE: When installed in recirculating mode, it is recommended to use a charcoal filter to prevent odours being emitted back into the room. For instructions on fitting charcoal filter, please refer to page 11.

6b. Ducted mode (Fig.11) insert flexible pipe and secure flue tape to air outlet with suitable duct tape.

NOTE: for ducted mode we recommended to extend the flue pipe through the roof cladding(with appropriate flashing) to an external roof cowl, venting the exhaust externally.

To ensure optimum performance of the rangehood, the use of bends should be avoided. Straight, rigid and short ducting is recommended to use. All ducting must be fire retardant.

WARNING: Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity, unless the cavity is designed for the purpose.

7. Insert the power cord to the power outlet.

8. Insert the flue cover section to the body hood.

9. Slide flue cover to upper position and fix with screws provided .

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 surfaces using non-abrasive cleaning products. Use of a soft cloth reduce the risk of scratching. If the cloth is wet ensure that a dry soft cloth is used to wipe down the surface.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products or products containing bleach.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motors 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.
• Clean regularly after use to remove any residues from cooking, especially residues from acidic fruits, yoghurts & milk based products.

Removing the metal grease filters

• Push the grease filter and then pull it down and out.

Hand washing

Soak grease filter 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.

Dish washer

Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select the most powerful washing program and highest temperature, at least 65℃. Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters  when they are dry. When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration 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 minimum.

• Clean the inner housing using warm water and grease loosening cleaner(never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).

WARNING:

Ensure that the appliance is switched off before cleaning inner housing to avoid any possibility of electric shock.

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 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 as indicated Fig.17.

• 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.

Changing the LED lamps

If LED lamps need replacing, they must be replaced by lamps as stated in the technical specifications.

Remove the lamp cover by releasing the screw and replace the new E14 LED lamps.

WARNING:

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