Ducting Options

The method of ducting should be carefully considered before installing the rangehood. The guide below recommends the ducting components to use for all common ducting configurations – through the top of the home (for the roof and eaves) and through the wall of the home. For RHWC1600B/X models Robinhood always recommends the use of the 2M Ø180mm flexi ducting included with these models and the Ø 180mm wall duct outlet. This will achieve the best extraction rate and lowest noise level for the hood. In situation where a 150mm outlet is required then the 180mm to 150mm adaptor can be used at the end of the 2M x 180mm flexi ducting that is included with this rangehood. From here 150mm ducting can be used to carry through to the outlet to enable fitment of the required 150mm duct outlet. If Ø180mm ducting can be used the entire way, this will achieve the best possible result for these rangehoods. NOTE: These rangehoods cannot be operated in recirculation mode.

Extra lengths and/or bends may be required, depending on the length required and whether there is any structural material in the run e.g. rafters. As stated above, if additional ducting is required then Ø180mm is optimal but 150mm can be used in conjunction with the 180mm ducting supplied via the use of the 180mm to 150mm adaptor.

NOTE : The shorter the duct length, the better the performance.
Ø180mm Wall outlet

Note : RHWC1600X and RHWC1600B are not suitable for Wall or Soffit Ducting with a 2.4m stud height. Stud heights of 2.55m and above are OK. Please note that this chart is designed as a guide. Please consult Robinhood customer services if unsure. For NZ phone (09) 415 6000 or www.robinhood.co.nz.

For AUS phone 1800 648 556 or www.robinhood.com.au.
WARNING : Before drilling any holes check that the area behind the surface to be drilled is clear of any

When installing the rangehood, the lower edge of the unit must be a minimum of 650mm above the cooking surface of the cooktop. Note that the minimum distance specified in the cooktop manual may be different; if so, the greater distance must be used.

Installation

• With the rangehood unpackaged, place the outlet spacer on top of the outlet hole, place the 0180mm outlet on top of that, line up the mounting holes and fix in place using eight of the 15mm screws.

• If the outlet flaps are not installed, fix at the top of the outlet (these form a one-way valve that stops
  things from falling into the rangehood when it is not in operation).

• As stated on page 4 – always use the 2M 0180mm ducting provided with these hoods. If required, the 180mm to 150mm adaptor can be fitted to the end of the 180mm ducting to allow for 150mm ducting exterior/wall outlet.

• The rangehood must be installed at the correct distance above the cooktop (650mm minimum from the cooking surface, 800mm recommended maximum). Measure up from the top of the cooktop the desired height & draw a horizontal line.

• From this line, measure up 600mm and draw a second horizontal line for the main mounting screws.

• Mark the centre point on this line and use the mounting bracket to mark the other two screw positions ~132mm either side.

• For a brick or concrete wall, drill in the two holes ~4Omm deep.

• Fit the wall plugs and attach the mounting bracket (hooks up) using the three supplied 40mm screws.

• Lift the rangehood onto the bracket hooks and check for strength.

• If good, fit the remaining 15mm screw into the hole right of centre on the bracket, ~4 turns (this will help prevent the rangehood from being accidentally removed).

• Fit the ducting to the outlet and secure in place with the supplied 4mm screws.

• Lift the inner chimney to the ceiling and screw into position using the two 7mm screws (if this is not sufficient, the use of hollow wall anchors or spring toggle screws is recommended).

• Check that the rangehood is secured and connect to the power supply.

• The long oil collector clips to the bottom back edge of the rangehood.

*If the wall is not brick or concrete, an alternate mounting method must be determined.

Operating instructions

Controls

The control panel for the RHWC1600X is stainless steel with push buttons. The control panel for the RHWC1600B is black glass with touch sensors. Each function is represented by an icon, which when pressed (touched) will activate the function. Each time it is pressed a “beep” will be heard.

• Power
  Once the appliance is connected to the power source, the appliance in stand-by mode. Pressing a button (touch sensor) will light up an indicator light while the function is active, and then turn off when the function is deactivated.

• Lights
  The light can be operated independently from the fan. Press the light icon (A) once and the LED lights will turn on. Press a second time and they will turn off.

• Fan Speed & Control
  The exhaust fan is controlled by the middle three buttons (sensors). Press D for low speed, C for medium speed and B for high speed. Press E twice to turn the fan off.
  Fan speed 3 (high) is a designated intensive function for maximum air movement during times of heavy fumes/smoke. It will run continuously for 3 minutes before automatically returning to Speed 2 (medium).
  The fan speed can be checked anytime by setting the speed and pressing (touching) B for 3 seconds. The speed will be shown on the display for 30 seconds before switching back to the current time.

• Timer
  When the exhaust fan is in use, pressing the on/off button (sensor) once will set up a 3 minute delay, after which the appliance will return to stand-by mode. NOTE: if the lights are on, these will turn off as well, but the function will not work if only the lights are on.

• Clock
  Set the clock using the following procedure. With the rangehood at stand-by, press (touch) and hold the on/off button (sensor) E for 3 seconds until the hour digits of the clock flash. Adjust with buttons (sensors) C & D. Press (touch) E again & the minute digits will flash. Adjust in the same way. The clock will be set 4 seconds after the last change is made.

Cleaning and maintenance

General Maintenance

Warning: To prevent surface damage never use abrasive or oil based liquid cleaners. To clean the surfaces of the appliance, use mild detergent and warm water. In areas of high humidity and coastal environments cleaning should be carried out frequently.

Warning : Oil will build-up in the oil collector & must be emptied periodically.

Filter Maintenance
The stainless steel filters do not generally need removing and cleaning. All oils should collect in the oil collector. If excess oil can be viewed on the outside of the filter, clean off using paper towels. The filter can be removed if necessary by removing the two screws at the front of the filter.
Removal of Oil Collector
To remove the oil collector, grip at both ends and carefully lever forward to unclip it from the corners. Take care to keep the oil collector level so that oil does not spill out. The centre of the oil collector has a viewing window; empty when the level reaches the half-way line. Once emptied, rinse with hot soapy water and reclip into place.
Replacement of LED Lamps
The LED lamps cannot be replaced by the consumer. If any faults occur, please ring your nearest Service Department. For any other problems please call help line on NZ 0800 760 667 or AUS 1800 648 556
Flue Extension Kits

• If you have a 2. 7m stud height then we supply extension kit (EXTKITDECN27) to suit.
• If you have a 3.0m stud height then we supply extension kit (EXTKITDECN30) to suit.
