Ducting Options
The method of ducting should be carefully considered before installing the range hood. The guide below
recommends the ducting components to use for all common ducting configurations - through the top of the home
(for the roof and soffit) and through the rear of the home. 150mm round ducting should be used in conjunction
with this model range hood. Alternatively this range hood can be operated in recirculation mode (see
Recirculation mode).
The highlighted area in the table below gives the recommended Uniduct item numbers for different
mounting and outlet options.

Installation
Installation Recommendations
 Please read this instruction manual before installing and using this range hood. Keep this
instruction manual in a safe place for future reference.
 This range hood can be used either in the Ducted Mode (ducting fumes to the outside) or in the
Recirculation Mode (internal recycling). The choice of modes can be left to customers.
 Only a qualified and trained service technician can undertake the work of installation and
servicing. At least two people will be required to mount the range hood.
 Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the one indicated on the rating plate fixed inside
the range hood.
 Check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing.
 Do not connect the range hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers,
fireplaces, etc.).
 If the range hood is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning
appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent
the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening directly with the open air in
order to guarantee the entry of clean air to the room.
 The minimum distance between the supporting surface of the cooking surface for the cooking
vessels of the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be 650mm. If the installation
instructions for gas hobs specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account.
 On stainless steel hoods, carefully remove the plastic protective film from all exterior surfaces
of the hood and chimney prior to final installation.
 The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper
installation.
Installation position
1. Draw a vertical line on the supporting wall up to the ceiling, or as high as practical, at the centre
of the area in which the range hood will be installed.
2. Draw a horizontal line at 650mm above the hob.
3. Place flue cover mounting bracket on the wall as shown about 20mm from the ceiling or upper
limit, aligning the centre (notch) with the vertical reference line.
4. Mark the wall at the centre of the holes in the bracket.
5. Place the range hood mounting bracket 6.2 on the wall central to the vertical reference line, with
the hooks aligned upwards.
6. Mark the wall at the centre of the three holes in the bracket.
7. Mark two holes on the wall as shown 220mm below the range hood mounting bracket holes for
fixing the range hood body.
8. Drillφ10mm holes at the seven centre points marked and fit the wall plugs.
9. Fix the two brackets using the long wall screws.

Installation - continued
Mounting the Hood Body
Mounting to a stud is recommended. However, if fitted to other wall linings (plasterboard, concrete etc) suitable
fixings will be required. Before drilling any holes check that the wall and ceiling are clear of any electrical cables,
pipes etc.
1. Hook the body onto the hood mounting bracket 6.2 as shown.
2. Balance the hood body by slightly adjusting the hood
mounting bracket. Gently lower the hood until it securely
engages the bracket.
3. Remove the filters and fix the range hood body to the wall
using two long wall screws.
Damper (Flaps) Fitting
1. Ensure plastic wrapping is removed from flaps.
2. Fix the flaps into the air outlet adapter.
3. Check that the flaps are locked correctly in the air outlet adapter. The
flaps should open and close freely.
Depending on the preferred installation/ducting mode, follow step
Recirculating mode or Ducted mode.
Recirculating Mode
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use flexible metal ductwork
only.
1. Attach an adequate length of φ150mm round duct into the
recessed area of the air outlet adapter.
2. Secure the duct to the air outlet using duct tape.
3. Install the charcoal filters (after fitting chimney).
Please note that the air will flow out from the two vents on the
sides of the chimney top.
Ducted Mode
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use flexible metal ductwork only.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most
efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of
the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be
required for best performance with longer duct runs.
4. Attach an adequate length of φ150mm round duct to the air outlet
adapter. Secure in place with duct tape.
5. The air must not be discharge into a flue that is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels" "Regulations
concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
6. Install a roof/wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards hood location.
Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

body).
3. Place the chimney top inside the
chimney bottom (vents to the top).
4. Lift the chimney top to the chimney
mounting bracket, position the slots
over the mounting bracket holes
and attach together using the two
10mm chimney bracket screws.
Operating Instructions
Controls
Control Panel
The range hood is operated using the touch panel at the front of the appliance.
The light controls are to the left of the control panel. The light button turns the lamps on and off. The
light intensity is controlled by touching any of the round icons to the right of the light button (from
dim to bright). There are 10 intensity settings.
The fan speed controls are to the right of the control panel. The fan button turns the fan on and off.
The fan speed is controlled by touching any of the round icons to the right of the fan button (from
slowest to fastest). There are 10 speed settings.
Cleaning and Maintenance
General Maintenance
Switch off the canopy before cleaning or maintenance. 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: a build-up of oil may occur if the wall canopy is not cleaned regularly.
Filter Maintenance
To maintain efficiency, the filters should be removed regularly (approximately monthly), and washed using hot
soapy water or the dishwasher. Note - some discolouration of the frame may occur if washed in the
dishwasher.
Range hoods fitted with charcoal filters are designed to remove grease and odours from cooking vapours prior to
the cleansed air re-entering the kitchen (when the range hood is in recirculation mode). Charcoal filters should
be replaced every two to four months depending on use.
Note: Fully saturated charcoal filters can become a barrier to air movement therefore limiting range hood
performance. In the event of fire, grease laden filters could be flammable and therefore regular replacement is
recommended. In ducted installations, conventional aluminium filters are recommended.
